  1. Greetings from sunny Bournemouth!
  2. Safe to say you put Marnhull on the map… 👍
  3. New coffee table book on Harry Nilsson. Comes with interview CD. RRP £39.95, yours for a tenner plus postage.
  4. Sean sold me a fretless and delivered it personally. A charming and trustworthy Basschatter who can play a bit!
  5. Sold to Adam… Postage available. This is a bass I lusted after for fully ten years! It has never been gigged by me. Hence it is in flawless condition bar one all but imperceptible graze at the top of the headstock it had when I bought it. It is effectively an active Jazz bass, but the passive tone with the volume control pulled out is so good you may decide to stick with that. The preamp response is fine-tuneable, but in all honesty I have never had the back panel off. Here’s some blurb: The Scheff has the signature Lakland body shape and a set of low-output Kent Armstrong Split-Tube pickups in "lipstick" covers that provide a vintage look and sound. The pickups are coupled with an onboard preamp (bypassable) to provide a warm and defined mid-tone reminiscent of some of Jerry's most popular lines. The pickups are also placed farther from one another within the body - set nearer to the bridge and neck respectively, opening up an extremely broad tonal range. Very deep, yet punchy and with a crisp top end. Weighs 9.5 pounds. Finally, it comes with a heavy duty ‘Dudepit’ gig bag which must be worth a few bob in itself.
  6. According to Wiki his real name was Eric and he had a son. Maybe Bob Holness was involved😂
  7. Doesn’t she live in the States? Detroit I believe…
  8. Note to Bluewine... it’s Shaw Taylor (just saving you a right hook to the jaw😂). Have a good one. It’ll be interesting to have two blues ladies in competition!
  9. I wondered why he now plays a headless Status!😂👏
  10. Peavey minimax or Trace Elf. Have 2 x 110.
  11. Countryman is excellent- best £100 I ever spent! Don’t see the point of metal strings; persevered with rubberised ones and never looked back.
  12. Do I recognise that headstock? Edit: Hang on, I sold you an Elektra!😂
  13. Your next amp needs to be gigging standard so keep the EBS for now.
  14. Maybe a bit of leg room... er, legume!
  15. Tell me where I said it’s a hoax? Two of my children have had it! if you do a LFT before meeting people you are not risking their health. If you want to live in fear, that’s your choice. Please don’t label me as ‘not bothered’.
  16. I am not disputing the effects it can have, just suggesting the cr@p that some authorities/experts are spouting causes fear. We all make our own decisions. I, as a twice jabbed and boosted pensioner, am going to behave sensibly but take my chances.
  17. I wish you well.
  18. Our drummer pulled out of Sunday’s gig. We are doing it without him.
  19. Exactly my feelings and experience at Southampton yesterday. Dont think they will reschedule - or indeed continue. Glad I saw them in the 70s.
  20. Its no more life-threatening now than it was a week ago...
  21. Southampton Guildhall. I think they were just pumping too much sound into the room. Great album though!
  22. Pretty damn good! Shame their live sound was so iffy on this tour, esp in bass department.
