This whole cookie thing is getting on my nerves.

I will not log on to BC again for a week - if the situation is not resolved and and a ‘Reject All’ button available - I will terminate my subscription and membership.

Apologies for the delay in posting this Nick - August just got lost in the noise.

Another smooth transaction with OHM - this time I bought a set of TI JR344 roundwounds.

Excellent and good humoured comms, the strings were well packed and delivered promptly.

Thanks Nick.

Bought a Thumpinator from Fleabag.

No problems here - smooth transaction, prompt delivery and 1st Class Comms.

Thanks Pete.

I'll take these please - PM on its way.

1)  Come On Eilleen - Dexy's Midnight Runners

2   American Pie - Don McClean.

3)  Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen (and most of their other songs as well)

And probably many many more, but these three are my particular dislikes.

I might be in a minority of 1 here but, I do like listening to and playing Mustang Sally

Just taken delivery of a 51 P-Bass from RikiB.  The bass is exactly as described in RikiB's listing.

Good communications throughout, prompt replies, good packaging and delivered on time.

Thanks RikiB -  a pleasure doing BC business with you.

Early/Mid 1970's - Mud (Glam Rock stalwarts) were booked to play at a public venue in Colchester.  Late that afternoon, the promoter got a message that their van had died so he was fearing the worst.

To their credit, Mud turned up on time and their van arrived a couple of hours later on the back of a recovery truck.  They got set up in double-quick time, started exactly on time and played a really good set.

Two basses every time.  My primary bass is either a Fender P or a Rickenbacker 4003, secondary bass is always another Fender P.  

I also carry a MarkBass Nano amp as a spare - used once so far, by guitarist when his AC30 had a (very expensive) senior moment.

Agree 100% - the best televised live concert i have seen for a while.

Great rapport between a very good band and an enthusiastic audience.

From recent setlists:

Won't Get Fooled Again - The Who

Black Dog - Led Zeppelin

Oh Well - Fleetwood Mac

Running Down A Dream - Tom Petty

White Room - Cream

Come Together - Gary Clarke Jnr

Fever - Peggy Lee

So many to choose from, but at the moment:

Mark Clarke - Colosseum
Danny Thompson - Pentangle
Martin Turner - Wishbone Ash
Chris Hillman - The Byrds / Flying Burrito Brothers
Kenny Gradney - Little Feat
Burt Ruiter - Focus
Harvey Brooks - Electric Flag
Gerry McAvoy - Rory Gallagher
Lee Dorman - Iron Butterfly
Gary Giles - Stray

Enjoying a glass (ot two) of Laphroaig Select whisky and Browsing BC - looking forward to the final episode of 'Great Expectations' at 9pm.

First real gig was in 1969 and I was 16 years old. (I'm 70 now, still playing bass and still gigging).

St Christopher's Church Hall, Jaywick Sands, Essex. 

3-piece band called Power House.

Hole In My Shoe - Traffic

The Cat - Jimmy Smith

My given name is Chris.  Way back in February 1981 I started a new job, and there were already 4 people called Chris in the team of 12.

 

Nick-names were already used to identify the other 4 individual Chris' so I was immediately re-named 'Chezz' (derived from my family name) - the name has been with me ever since. I added the 55 'I thought it sounded good.

Does that mean you're 55% fruit juice?

Fruit Juice ???  -  55% Brakspears' Bitter would be a more accurate suggestion.
