  1. Andy (Bassmonkey) just bought a couple of sets of Fender Roundwound strings from me.

     

    No problems here at all, excellent communications and prompt payment - job's a good 'un.

     

    Thanks Andy and take it easy.

    Pigbag - Papa's got...I bought the album in the 80s on the back of this. 

     

    Joy Division - Love will tear us apart.  Couldn't get on with any of the other stuff and I  really don't rate PH as a bassist either. Not that controversial 

     

     

    Pigbag - yep loved the single, underwhelmed by the album.

     

    Love Will Tear Us Apart - is for me the definitive and the only Joy Division track.

     

    I never came to grips with Genesis except for ‘Dance On A Volcano / Los Endos’ on the Seconds Out album which IMHO is outstanding - and is Genesis’ saving grace.

  3. I found a 2nd-hand mandolin in a local charity shop, so I thought .... 'never played one before but why not have a go' .... so I bought it.

     

    A  quick polish and a change of tuning to E-A-D-G - so I could play basic guitar chord shapes and Robert is your Father's Brother.  Three days later I used it to busk with another guitar player at a friend's birthday barbecue and a week later I used it a gig - just for one song (The Irish Rover).

     

    The guitarist and I have worked out a few more busking type songs to do at another party later this month and we've decided to keep Irish Rover in the band set ! ! !

  4. I've had cause to visit the Status factory in Colchester, (about 10 miles from my front door), a couple of times over the past 15 or so years, and had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Rob and Dawn both times - two thoroughly nice people.

     

    My best wishes go to Rob and Dawn along with my thanks for some remarkable bass guitars.
