On a Rope - Rocket From The Crypt

Not that I want it for this but the electric pianos sound pretty good for its age. This guy on YouTube seems to really like it, he's done a whole series of vids demoing the MZ 2000. It's also got a floppy disc drive! 😂😂

I've just bought a keyboard but I know absolutely nothing about them. I wanted something to add some swooshy background ambience to some planned recordings so was low level looking for a cheap keyboard. This Casio popped up on facebook marketplace last night fifteen minutes away. A quick Google/YouTube and it seems that back in the day it was something quite special. It has synth section where you can build your own sounds with oscillators etc, so I should be able to get what I want out of. If not it was twenty quid and they seem to fetch decent money if you find the right buyer, there's one on Reverb at the mo for £399, but that is Reverb pricing! It needs a quick clean up and I don't know that everything works, it powers up, screen works and it makes sounds, but hey it's twenty quid. Looking forward to a new toy to get to grips with. It's bloody big too!

Into The Valley - The Skids

I've got a pair of Drivetrains here ready for a project, just not decided what they're going in yet. I bought a Crafter Cruiser for twenty quid a while back which actually plays surprisingly nicely, it may well be getting a full on make over with the Drivetrains. I've just realised I've already said the above, even further above 😁.

Oscillate Wildly - The Smiths

Robert Smith of The Cure liked the pickup in his Woollies Top 20 (similar or same as above) enough to have it transplanted into his Fender Jazzmaster.

You Shouldn't Call The Doctor (if you can't afford the bill) - Dr. Feelgood

Genuinely shocked to read this news. Very sad news indeed. But as others have said, he was given some extra time and he made full use of it. It's still a shock nonetheless. 🥺

I was going to say why are you even asking, you'll get both sooner or later. 😁

Smash It Up - The Damned

So, who's bidding then? 😐

Real Eyes, Realize, Real Lies - Machine Head

I know it's all been said before but just what the hell goes on inside his head? The bridge, the nut, the trademark 'ballbag' tuners!?! Then the trussrod adjustment, "I fooked it up one way, then I fooked it up the other way, now it's averagely fooked somewhere in between but I might have another go before it sells". No, please don't.

Die Laughing - Therapy?

I really like the energy in Frankies version of The Boss' Born To Run. Some nice bass playing as well. And for those that said they couldn't play live.

I want to see people's faces when I wheel that rack with the four Terror Basses and a pair of SVT4's ininto The Old Dog & Botfly.

Too Late Too Late - Motorhead

I've bought a few from an ebay seller. He's been really helpful and will build up your decal from a few pictures and ideas. He supplies in pairs as well incase you screw the first one up. Really thin waterslides that lacquer over easily. I'll try and find the details. Most recently did these for me for a project from photos. He also very generously did all these for a single decal price. Here you go, Bob's Decals. Ebay link.

Iron Fist - Motorhead

Since my contribution to this thread I've acquired some cheap wood. First an 80s Kay neck through which was given to me in a right state. I stained the wings and lacquered it, (it does have strings now 😉). Next a 90s Encore precision copy found in a charity shop. After a thorough clean and polish, some extensive neck/fret work and a Tonestyler pickup it really is a great bass with some lovely grain in the body and fretboard.

Gratuitous pics 😉. As it came from HW (original owners pic), On the frontline,
