Shockwave

I really appreciate the offer. But with my life at the moment, a jolly to Birmingham would probably be the last thing I should do! Trying to find permanentish accommodation at the moment! It has amazed me how quick the change has been from owning a home, happily married and financially secure, to homeless, divorced and financially precarious in under a year.

Sadly that is correct. For about 8 months now, I am a picky bugger as well. I was offered a Short Scale bass for free a few months ago, but at 6ft 3,who likes to downtune, and a long journey to acquire it I couldn't quite muster up the funds to travel... and muster the effort at the time. I used to have quite the collection say 10 years ago. But Relationships took over and basses had to go for funds and over the past year just to survive! I kept hold of my practice amp and cables at least.

I was hoping to break my 2024 duck and get back to playing bass this year (Having been out of the game for quite some time and having my last bass stolen). Sadly I lost my job, marriage and home after a nightmare 2023 so it looks like I will likely be able to be abstinent this year! I do wish you all luck though!

Just the one Gecko now. I have been very detached from the music community for the past 5-6 years and only just happened to log in today as I had PM. I had some success with my last band, but we broke up 2 years ago and have only recently started to care enough to start trying again though on the skinny stringed thing for a change. Also trying to start a family soon so I have stuck with the same bass for the past 5 years as well. Musicman Stingray, with a backup Jazz parts bass I have put together. Just havent been interested in buying and selling basses anymore. Lord knows I have had enough!

Hello all. We are seeking a guitarist to join in at the beginnings of a new Punk rock band. We have Bass/Vocals, Guitar/Vocals and Drums/Vocals. Just looking for the last piece of the puzzle! Looking to start in earnest in January. We will re-purposing an old bands demos whilst creating new original material. As well as a couple of covers along the way. Not looking for world domination, just for a fun time gigging around. Backing vocal ability would be nice but we would like someone who can help join in and write decent songs. We are looking for someone who specifically writes, lives and breathes 90s and 00's Punk rock, NOFX, Lagwagon, Pennywise, Millencolin etc. If you can pull off solos along with our current guitarist that would be great. Age is not a factor, for reference we are in our mid 20's to mid 30's. Hit us up ASAP!

I believe it went to Germany, traded it out for an old Warwick Thumb 5.

Ignore me.

We used to cover this song.

I actually really love playing at the St Moritz club. Mind you I was in a technical punk band and we would play anywhere dingy. Didnt even bother with putting anything but the drummer on stage.

Nope, not a peep out of them! No idea what I am to replace with at the moment

Update. A full refund has been issued with no comment. I should receive in 6 days. So a happyish ending :-)
