  1. I was 17 and the first number was Black Magic Woman, with me singing lead and playing bass. Sooooo long ago. â˜šī¸ 47 years ago. I need to lie down.
  2. I love a Thumb (Oo-er missus!) 😂
  3. No you're not. I get it. I have been playing for 49 years and for me, many were just 'basses'. 😎
  4. What a Difference a Day Makes -Dean Martin
  5. Does that make it similar to a Z3 then? Not sure what the difference(s) would be.
  6. Well, you've got plenty to keep you busy when the nights start drawing in (only just over 7 weeks btw!)
  7. Yep, the Ashula is something I've not had a go on yet.
  8. 'Chops' don't matter in a shop. You are playing for an audience of one - you. See if the bass feels right and works for you. Buying a bass should never be interrupted by feelings of inadequacy. Go for it and enjoy what's out there.
  9. That does indeed, look very pretty. 😎
  10. Absolutely - it's what you make it sound like that's important.
  11. Yaaaaay! It's all been worth it then. Good luck in your search.
  12. Mr Bojangles -Sammy Davis Jr.
  13. Mac the Knife - Frank Sinatra
  14. I follow your exact line of thought. Just read your review of the Peterson and enjoyed it. Brought back memories as I had one when they first came out.
  15. Luckily for me, I'd been working for a decade by then and the band was playing regularly, so I spent a lot on musical gear. I now look at Aston Martin dealerships with the 'ogle' you mention.
  16. Probably. I used a Roland bass synth as my main gigging bass for a few years in the 80's. (Bought it from Jack Bruce as well!) Here's the proof back in the day.
  17. Sounds like a fun day out. I've never tried a Fodera either.
  18. Can't disagree there. 🤗
  19. It would indeed. Good choice.
  20. To cheer up the last Friday in April and move into a long weekend, I was thinking about exactly which bass I would love to try. Not something I've tried before, owned before or such like. Something I might have only read about or seen on the Net. I have decided I'd love to try an Alembic Series II five stringer. What would your pick be?
  21. 20th Century Boy -Marc Bolan
  22. Street Fighting Man - Stones
  23. Welcome, to the Machine. 👍
