      Will do - It's really Bird's custard yellow!

  2. No Star Wars Day gags yet??

  3. Revisiting playing with a pick on my P bass. Not called a Precision for nothing!  'The boys are back in town'. I'm using the really thick injection molded ones, 50p each from London Guitar Studio - but you can't slot them between the s'plate and body at the top which is where a pick belongs.

      Great stuff. I've started playing three songs in our set with a pick, really makes the bassline stand out on them. Good tip about where to store them, I usually forget where I've left mine!

  4. After more than 4 years of messing around and uncertainty - it's now definite that my job is going. I've got 18 months tops :(
    But at least I've got my bass playing to enjoy - thank heavens I took up the bass again. It's my therapy :)

      All the best for the future Marc! Great to see you're keeping positive, that will see you through :)

      I'd love to, but me playing topless is no longer the pretty sight it was 30 years ago...

  7. On BBC 1 News this evening talking about the effects of Brexit on an import/export manufacturing business. Weird day!

      The key question of course:  is Brexit good for metal?

  13. Why are so many bass cabs covered in that horrible felt material? Almost every cab for sale locally here is carpet-covered. You never see it on guitar cabs...

    1. Kevsy71

      Kevsy71

      Just play an open G at moderate volume through a Trace carpet cab in your cat's presence, and I guarantee they will never go near it again.

  14. No P Bass in the house for the first time since 1976. O.o

    1. Kevsy71

      Kevsy71

      I don't have a P bass in the house at least once a week, unless it's one of those rare occasions where a gig is actually at my house...

  15. Offer of 2 free Peavey cabs was not to be missed. Trouble was cabs weigh 156lbs each and I live on top floor 🙂 Problem now solved,one step at a time 👍 

    1. Kevsy71

      Kevsy71

      Easy solution - play all forthcoming gigs in your lounge. Also saves gig petrol money.

  16. Supported 'The Blockheads', chuffed isnt the word, met Norman Watt-Roy and he signed my pick guard 🙂

      That's amazing, I'd be in complete awe - what a player. I was told when I bought my 2nd hand Rumble combo that he'd once played through it, and evidence be damned, I'm sticking to that story!

  19. Love the Bruce Thomas Profile bass! Really lively P, feels very comfortable in hand, and a fantastic bargain - you even get a signed book from the man himself :)

  22. Kept it simple last night.  My 1974 Precision straight into a 1966 Ampeg SB-12.  Beautiful beautiful tone

  23. When a Reverb seller, listed as a quick responder, hasn't answered my question in a week, should I assume they're on holiday, or otherwise absent? 

    1. Kevsy71

      Kevsy71

      Either that or it was a really tricky question.
