    Just bought a P body and J neck from Simon. Great comms, very speedy postage, bomb proof packaging and everything as described. Great guy to deal with. Thanks Simon! 👍

    Another ace transaction and another book from the estimable Mick. Always a pleasure, thanks Mick!

    I found the thicker picks, while you'd think they'd be great for bass, transferred quite a lot of vibration into my hand, specifically the thumb joint. Got quite uncomfortable Thinner Dunlops as Lozz suggests, I found ideal.

    Apologies Rob, I had clean forgotten about the NW Bash! Rod

    That would be great! I'm not aware of there having by been Yorkshire "do", at least in recent years. Colour me interested👍!

    Just done a flying visit to Newcastle to buy Benedict's Squier Paranormal Rascal. Nice guy to deal with, bass exactly as described (it's fab), gig bag chucked in...thanks Benedict!

    Indeed. Arguably pre/proto Goth.

    My oldest instrument is a rather battered Kimbara acoustic, which either needs gifting to a charity shop, or using as a test bed for learning how to set up properly. Oldest bass is my RW Precision in 2TSB which I've had for 6 years. Lovely bass, but think that's going to have to go in recognition of what appears to be arthritis in my fretting hand. Short or medium scale here we go...!

    Parking any comment about the odd arrangement the band have remuneration/expenses wise, I would share your discomfort. There is money available, none of which will be going to the dep who is doing everyone a favour.

    That's a lovely thing👍!

    Another former owner here, I'd echo @silverfoxnik's comments. This bass sounds absolutely immense and looks fab!

    That looks fabulous and seems to be inducing Thunderbird withdrawal symptoms!

    Sounds interesting, I'm in👍

    This. But done by Epiphone, at least on the reissues. They'd be cheaper, probably better built and with more colour options, even if the woods were not as good 😊.

    I bought a Blackstar Fly 3 and extension cab from Andy, a very easy and smooth transaction. Very good comms, quick response and awesome packaging! Great to do business with. Thanks Andy!

    Ha, same! We have a wedding on Saturday (singer's nephew, our first gig for nearly 4 years) and we've been asked to do this. It is a tricky blighter to get right🙂

    Had exactly the same experience seeing The Who with Pino at the First Direct in Leeds a similar time ago - so not a venue problem.

    This is indeed an awesome looking and sounding bass - and much missed in these parts! Think I've read somewhere that Thunderbucker Ranch (Steve?) is no longer making pickups, so potentially an even rarer bass on sale here. GLWTS Nik!👍

    Hope you all have a great day today guys, sorry I couldn't make it.

    Television - Television (the "comeback album")
  24. howdenspur
    Yes, one for me please👍

    Banks' closure will leave quite a hole in York's retail landscape as well as depriving us of quite a decent music shop. Helpful staff and a decent selection of instruments, though the usual brands and no second hand stuff.
