'Get Lucky' - I think this is the worst 'funk' song ever. To my ears - it's not musical, the vocal is dire, and the song doesn't have a groove.

I bought a Hohner B2ADB headless bass guitar, from Tomaso (TheSwing). A first-class transaction, no problems at all. Tomaso is a thoroughly nice person - he's well mannered, good humoured and has a seemingly boundless enthusiasm for bass. Excellent communications from initial enquiry to sale completion, with comprehensive details and information about the bass. Accurate directions to the collection location in East London - a really warm welcome when I arrived and the bass was plugged in and ready to try. Thanks Tomaso, it has been a pleasure doing BC business with you sir. Chris.

Definitely - a very under-rated Bass Guitarist, great showman and a very nice bloke to talk with.

Excellent, that’s made my day!!

They're pink ! ! , and I don't like pink.

The car in the last photo of the first post is drop-dead gorgeous (if only it wasn’t pink 🤢).

Just taken delivery of a Fender Hi-Mass bridge from Mike, a smooth transaction with a great seller. My initial PM enquiry to Mike was at 09:50 on Sunday morning - the bridge arrived at 13:00 the following Tuesday - excellent service. Thanks Mike, hope to deal with you again sometime. Chris

Bought a Gewa GigBag from Yann (Ian McFly). Competitively priced, well packed and delivered on time. An ideal transaction from start to finish with very good communications. Thanks Yann, a pleasure dealing with you.

No Problems here at all - a highly recommended seller. Just taken delivery of a P-Bass copy from Chris (Thornybank). Super-smooth transaction, great coms, bass was very well packed and the whole deal completed in double-quick time. Thanks Chris, a pleasure doing business with you.

RIP Nick.

Around 1974/5 we were booked to play at a village hall in rural Essex. We arrived and introduced ourselves to the organiser - who told us an upcoming band would be opening for us. That upcoming band went on bigger and better venues, they were called ............................ The Stranglers

Bought a set of LaBella 750N Deep Talkin' Black Flats from Mike. Exemplary transaction, excellent comms and very quick delivery. No problems at all. Thanks Mike.

Sold a Caline Wine Cellar DI to Rich - no problems at all. Great transaction with clear communications with prompt payment. Thanks Rich. Chris (Chezz55)

+1 RIP Ms Nightingale, I'll miss you. xxx

'The Big Noise From Winnetka' - a Drum'n'Bass duet from 1939. Written and played by Bob Haggart (string bass & whistling) and Ray Bauduc (drums). I remember my dad playing this record in the late 1950's (it was a 10" ; 78rpm ; made of shellac, which was very brittle and the forerunner of vinyl) and. Dad was a huge fan of the 'Big Bands' and I was inspired by his enthusiasm. And an alternative version by University of Minnesota Duluth professors Dr. Adam Booker and Dr. Gene Koshinski who revisit the classic tune composed and made famous by bassist Bob Haggart and drummer Ray Bauduc. Enjoy.

Just taken delivery of a 51 P style bridge from Beedster (Chris), who is a fine fellow and a pleasure to deal with. Very pleased with all aspects of the transaction, thanks Chris - job's a good 'un.

My Best Studio/Recorded Bass Sound: Status Stealth II + Ashdown ABM600 +Ashdown 8×10. (The Status was mine, the Ashdown was the studio's house bass rig.) My Best Live Bass Sound: Status Stealth II + GenzBenz Shuttle 6 + Schroeder 4x10L. (I should have resisted the GAS and kept this gig-rig.)

Peter has given my TC Sub'n'Up a new home - an ideal transaction with excellent communications throughout. It was a pleasure doing BC business with you Peter - thankyou and keep putting the bass in. All the best. Chris

I agree with this 100%.

Like Cosmo Valdemar - This ^^^ and trying a friend's Hofner bass guitar. I was and still am 'Addicted To Bass'.
