There's a copy of that very book, up for sale on the site right now - nothing to do with me btw. Info only.

Before it slips what is left of my mind, best wishes to all those attending for an absolutely spiffing day. (NB That was 'spiffing', in case anyone thought my 'L' tab wasn't working there. 'Tab' - oh God, here we go again ...) Have a great one folks.

Yes

Yes.

Re OP question. I say yes, if you fancy one. You can always sell/trade it if it doesn't work out. I currently have three and love 'em all.

Mentioned before on BC, that after playing in a pub in Glasgow, a guy beckoned me over to where he was at the bar. "Good band mate," said he, " but if you can ever afford one, you need to try a Fender bass. They're brilliant!" I had been playing an Overwater, hand-built Jazz 5. Ooooooooooh, it really makes me wonder ...

Hello to you. I hope you find plenty here to interest and entertain you on BC.

I admit to being a failure at slap-playing. Possibly, an embarrassment to myself and the entire bass-playing community. I have tried. Honest, I have. Having considered the statement above, I may be gone some time . 👍👎👍👎👍👎👍👎

I'm told @Frank Blank has the personal telephone numbers of a group who work for Icelandic Air, if that's any use?

He's just been told the price of that Fodera! 🤭

We shall not see his like again.

"Hey man! Great bass buddy! I'll just get you a lead and you can plug it in to this amp. We can do both for a one-off special deal. Are you trading in? Your bass is the wrong colour, weight, make, neck-length, string count, and they moved to the 'mark 3, ten minutes ago, so what you're looking for, isn't realistic, you know, with us having to pay the dreaded VATman, you know mate. What you're trading just doesn't move nowadays. We could have this sitting here for months, you know man. Have a play around and see what you think. I'll go and ask the manager what our best price is, but our Tam, the guitar-tech, has already found seven things wrong with your old bass. What's that? You bought it from us two months ago! Ah well, you see, that company is out of business now, so there's not much we can do. You'll be needing a case, strap and tuner with that. That bass really suits you man!"

Great album. Listen to it all the time.

Millions of years ago, I was given the very same line from my, at that time, boss. My response was simply: "You just watch me!" (And I was gone). Prioritise what's right for you Andy.

Hear, hear.

I only told Mary Jane - honest.

Sorry. Just been proved wrong. Hellzero thought the crack to be excellent, therefore, some must have made it through to his pipe.

Probably made a hash of that.
