Blackstar are doing a "this weekend only" offer on the Unity 120 combo. Note that Andertons are out of stock and Coda don't seem to have the memo. No affiliation.https://www.blackstaramps.com/uk/unity-offer?fbclid=PAAaYIJMW1DcY5MrC3Wk-gvvvqDEfecwFAI0LyUAiSxpIG8Ure0GYKEIEvyoM

Great stuff Sam👍!

My Dad was a bit of a music lover, with early Beatles and, later on Manfred Mann singles being brought home (he's 96 now, so some might have thought he was a bit old for "that sort of thing" at the time!). My maternal grandparents bought me a classical guitar when I was about 13 which, I'll admit, I didn't make the best use of. My fault, though my teacher was not ideal. My uncle played keyboards in a sort of showband which played around South Dorset in the mid to late 70s and later actually ran a music shop until the web kicked in. A number of things which, cumulatively created an environment with hindsight.

Nice score Al!👍

Lovely. Is that the one at Classic and Cool?

Mike Lull PT4?

Ah, that's what they mean by an "offset body".

I'd like 2 sets please😊

I've also been listening a lot to Joan as Policewoman. She's released some really interesting material, great singer and multi instrumentalist

I am in!

Thread from the dead time...I've just heard Judee Sill for the first time and blimey, what a great artist - here on OGWT in 1973.

Nice! Looking at the spalted maple version (there are more photos), I think there is one saddle per string...is that right?

Here we go...

That is very lovely and yes, minty. Always fancied a P or a Thunderbird in this...

Lovely. I had one of those Les Pauls in Honey Burst I think - a lighter version of yours. It was a really nice guitar, but I reckon you had to chose in person to make sure you got a decent maple top - they were pretty variable. Looks like you cracked it!

Got two 6 strings, a Squier Fat Strat (HSS) and a PRS SE Singlecut. Both nice guitars, the PRS has a slightly wider neck which attracts, though I think I'm probably a single coil guy. Would probably chop both in for a Tele or an LP Junior (Harley Benton type, my playing isn't that great 😎).

Well played and filmed Chris - we've started doing this one! Great tune, think I prefer the Jam arrangement (a Jam b side as I recall).

Cheers for the heads up👍, mine is being delivered tomorrow!

I'm a fan of the Thunderbird, but this is nice too...

Just bought Chris's Fernandes bass, somewhat complicated by the fact that it's a rare piece and we live several hundred miles away from each other and then further complicated by both our attentions being diverted by Coronavirus! Packaging by Chris was brilliant, had some banter about life, the universe and everything. Top bloke! Cheers Rod

Think you can create a new calendar under other calendars on the side bar.

I also like Basschat. There are people I've bought and sold from on here without a thought as I know they are regulars and well thought of. And that's without checking feedback. I have also successfully used a retailer on a commission basis (for guitars), where you can argue that they have a wider audience and the higher price they can command largely offsets the commission.

Talk Talk have been top of my list as I trawl back through goodies I missed first time around. Their last 3 albums (Spring, Eden, Laughing Stock) are all superb. The recording of the last two is vividly described by Phill Brown in his book "Are we still rolling".

Sold a Thunderbird body to John. He paid very promptly (in fact early, given an agreed delay over Christmas/New Year) and has been a pleasure to deal with. Cheers John!

That is a work of art. Does he build basses ..?
