Just like a 60's Eastern European bass!

Hi Roj, long time no hear! It's the head thats a big problem for me. It looks like a moose! May very well weigh as much too. Has a 60's Eastern European look...

Have a look at these . Used to be wedelivertheworld I think - https://parcelcompare.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiA8P_TBRA9EiwAJrpHMyRCNmBAkVX5Qksc7TsKD2mN_XUaf64wMqdoxNycmpsLRaN2o3IAGBoCB5MQAvD_BwE Rough guesses on weight and size comes out at £42 plus vat. They took an Ampeg 2x10 from Lancashire to the south of France for under £20 about 12 months ago.

Rik bought a desk from me., Great communication and a hassle free deal. If only they were as easy as this one. Nice chap too. Thanks again Rik Cheers Dunc

I worked for many years with a singer/guitarist who basically was a condescending nightmare. He sacked everybody and anybody when he felt like it. He was unable to join in a jam. He had to lead it as he just didn't have the ability to jam with someone else's idea. Frantic rants broke out if anything went against the way he thought. His bass lines were always the "best" and he let everyone know it. Eventually I left and that was the end of his band career as no-one else on the planet would have put up with him! I've heard he has started another band though. He sacked the drummer in favour of a drum machine before the first rehearsal! I pity the bass player...

Traded my Tele with Tom. Great deal, great communications. Good all round experience. Bass arrived quickly, well packaged and as described. Can't ask for much more than that. Well, he's a nice bloke too! Thanks again Tom. Cheers Dunc

I meant to quote this when saying, surely you'd notice if you were being buggered! 😂

Surely you would notice if you had been buggered? 😂 Am I the only person in the world not to have heard the term 'snowflake'? Well, I tell a lie, I've heard it on Love Thy Neighbour in the 70's. Best not mention that though...

Just nabbed Karls TB1000. Nice easy deal. No hitches or glitches. Great guy to deal with. Thanks again Karl! Cheers Dunc

Nor would I. Those folk went through a time of world wars and hell. Unthinkable to most alive today. Thankfully, our generation have been spared that. Perhaps the only generation ever in our recorded history. We are so privileged in many ways.

If they changed the lyrics for the American market, perhaps that could only reflect on the racism in the USA at that time? For the British market, perhaps it didn't matter in the music scene at that time? Lyrics are a form of literature and lots of classic novels etc contain language that can be deemed inappropriate and scrutinised. However, for some reason they are deemed as a story and hailed as a masterpiece whilst lyrics, that still tell a tale are viewed in a different manner? Makes little sense to me...

When I worked in learning support at a local college, I was sent to work with a 16 year old girl with an assessed mental age of 8. She had a lot of issues but mainly her learning capacity and that she had been blind from birth. Of course the college helped her choose the right course - Film Studies and Media? I had to sit there with her in class and verbally inform her what was going on onscreen. She didn't understand or care, all the other students were miffed as they couldn't hear the film for me waffling on. However, I found she loved music and the boy bands of the time. We ended up spending most of class time walking through the local shopping centre visiting all the music shops, over and over again. Academically, it didn't make any sense at all but she enjoyed herself and she was a pleasure to work with. That was about 18 years ago and so it seems "correctness" is still alive and kicking!

Traded a Line6 XTPro with Chris. Everything went smoothly, the unit arrived quickly and as described, Nice fella to deal with too. Have no fears. Thanks again Chris. Cheers Dunc
