Making Plans For Nigel Farage — XTC

My favourite is the Leathergraft comfy suede strap. I have loads of these and they live up to the name. GuitarGuitar have them in four colours: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/search/?Query=Leathergraft+comfy Also get some strap blocks to go with it - little rubbery thingies that prevent the strap from coming off at the worst possible time Several companies make them, but GuitarGuitar sell Ernie Ball ones in eight different colours: https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/search/?Query=strap+blocks

Untamed Melody — The Righteous Brothers

Cigarettes & Coffee — Otis Redding

Starbucker — Rolling Stones

Sold for £101. Good grief! someone must really like wombles.

If you want to make the bass sound more like a stingray, you might be better off keeping the original pickup in the bass and adding an active preamp such as the retrovibe stinger.

Best bass purchase would be the Pelham blue Gibson non-reverse thunderbird, and the worst purchase would probably be the blue JMJ I use for rehearsals and gigs — its a fantastic bass and is only my worst purchase as already owned two JMJs when I bought it so I really didn't need it, but for some unfathomable reason I really wanted it at the time.

To save money when air drumming, instead of using special sticks and other hardware, I vocalise the drum sounds myself. And when I do it like this it is velocity sensitive.

Five-O-Ford — The Reverend Horton Heat

The Wallflower — Etta James

Miracle Cure — The Who

Son Of A Preacher Man — Dusty Springfield

He Turned The Water Into Wine — Johnny Cash

Call Me Animal — MC5

All I See Is You — Big Star

Death Is Not The End — Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

When I Paint My Masterpiece — The Band

Keep It Greasey — Frank Zappa

Last Train To Londis — ELO

it makes sense that a Womble would own this bass — they were always keen on rubbish. Did you know that Hattie Jaques and John Le Mesurier's son Robin Le Mesurier was kicked out of the wombles for 'smoking da spliff'?

Earlpilanz on ebay will sort you out with one in any colour you like for not much dosh. GAS reinstated again , you're welcome!

Just A Lidl Bit — Lidl Milton

I used to have exactly the same amp and cab plus a matching 2x10 cab. The whole lot cost me £600 at the time. Someone got a bargain for £75.

Fool's Paradise — Mose Allison
