Not guilty - I was discussing the weather or something in the kitchen. Good skill for your CV though.

Sad indeed, but time marches on and what was once the bow-wave quickly becomes the wake. ☹️

We had a Sherpa at one time called Van the Man. Painted matt black and having an MOT by the skin of its teeth, The Mystery Machine it was not. Across the top of the main interior section, was a kind of cross-bar - known as The Trophy Bar, and as time progressed, it became festooned with, shall we say, 'women's dainties'. Now our drummer had a live-in girlfriend of whom he was very proud. He bought her some fancy lingerie and went on and on about it. One night we picked him and her up in the van and headed for a gig. Unbeknownst to either, while I had engaged them in conversation in their kitchen, our guitarist had galloped upstairs, into their bedroom, found her underwear drawer and purloined aforementioned lingerie. After the gig, they were proudly flying from the crossbar, much to the amusement of guitarist, keyboard player and me - a couple of others were around scrounging a lift home. The drummer saw these and went ballistic. I'm laughing as I type this. God know how they reconciled after that event. Great days. 😎

Must try that one on our guitarist. 😎

Must agree with this. I have a quality strap for each one of my basses.

The Pushbike Song -The Mixtures

You're welcome. Best of luck and let us know how it goes if you decide to go for it.

Gloss board, I'd leave well alone. Oiled board, you could try very fine wire wool with white spirit, followed by gunstock oil and wax finish (Warwick surface cleaner?)

Mace of Spades - Motorherb

Rose of Cimarron -Poco

Love this idea - real community project and brining fun to folk. You asked about Dubliners songs: can't go wrong with 'Seven Drunken Nights', 'Star of the County Down' and 'The Black Velvet Band'. Very best wishes to you and your participants. (I'll bet The Everly Brothers. would work for harmonies and singing along as well.)

You've won tonight's Star Prize - a Zenta Custom Shop fretless piano. Pick-up from John O'Groats. Look for last gaff before sea appears and ask for Johnnie.

If so, it sure ain't this one. 😁

more likely to be Mrs S. Hates all things bass with a vengeance. 😡

I run such a group. You send me all your basses and I hold onto them for you for around thirty years. If after that time, you no longer wish to have them back, you are cured and are only due me 'storage' money. If however, you still lust after your bass(es), I keep them for a further twenty year period, once more gauging your mental state when handover point rolls around. I offer this service over an indefinite period of time to suit your needs. 😋

Damn! That's me back to the Clinic again! 🤪

Ok. There's a photo of me on the Chainwalk somewhere on this forum. 🫣

George Armstrong's ? (Grim consummation and Souix-ed)

Thanks very much. Some really quaint fishing villages and good places to eat. Hope to be back there some time. Are you living on that coast?

I find myself crying every time our guitarist plays anything.

We went along to the East Neuk and I think that one was taken at Elie if my memory serves me right. Nowt wrong with Fife - had a grand time. 😁👍

Telephone Line -ELO

Love Tone Hammer amps - I have three (don't ask). My experience of them is only positive and it can do clean or dirty.

Good afternoon to you. Hope your basses sell - advertise them in the marketplace thread. Good luck. 👍
