Yep, "splodgy" is a good word. Looks a bit like a Music Man Ray gone wrong to me . But then, I still think the Explorer shape look quite radical ("invented" 1958)

Like the look of these, especially in Mint/Maple. I also need a P/J...

Very nice! Hope you'll be playing more than just root (canal) and fifths?

New embassy (and also thunderbird) bass, Classic style!

Gear4music have a white I think -
Certainly not! No, that was the cauliflower soup. Now I'm picturing a "Farter" decal in 50s script.

I might have to slip into York this aft...but then, the Ebony is very cool -
Advice please! Anyone ever seen one these?

They do. I was in Bass Direct a couple of weeks back - the Chowny's look stunning. -

Probably one for the new fakers page? Think this has also come up on FB. -
A shout out for Paul Gray, especially in Eddie and the Hot Rods guise.

This is a great forum, enhanced by the upgrade. So +1 to all the above positive comments to ped, charic and all those involved in development and moderating

Think that was Owen Paul - My favourite waste of time.

Lovely looking bass. Nice one!

Very nice indeed! Fancying ebony or white I am. -
Just bought a Gibson bridge from Karl. Very smooth transaction, straightforward and great comms - thanks Karl!

We cancelled a gig on the day earlier in the year as my dad became ill and was taken to Hull A&E - he's 93. We do specific arrangements so a dep would have been pretty difficult. The pub were relaxed and have rebooked us. This would all have been trickier had we been a function band or if we had been regarded as more of a "name" band, but then in those cases, formal contracts would probably have been in place per mrtcat's post.

Just noticed, G4M also do a Jaguar style (the Seattle) with P/J pups also in Paulownia. Nice in white...

...and no neck dive? I'm intrigued Tom🤔

Nice job there Dandelion. Has a "Classic 50s" look to it.

I've got an Anker - quite cheap, but quit bassy too https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-SoundCore-Bluetooth-Playtime-Resistance-Black/dp/B01MTB55WH/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1513856960&sr=1-3&keywords=anker+bluetooth

If you could go back in time to one gig, which one?
howdenspur replied to T-Bay's topic in General Discussion
In terms of gigs I missed... Any XTC gig in their formative years Thin Lizzy at the Cardiff Capitol 1978, shortly before its demolition (it was a planning thing, nothing to do with Lizzy) MC5 at York Rowing Club, circa 1972. I'm told this happened, but I've been unable to prove it! And those I'd like to revisit... Pub rock special at Guildford Civic Hall 1974ish, Feelgoods second on the bill Ramones/Talking Heads/Saints at the Roundhouse 1977. Wow! Happy daze
