  1. Played a gig in Corby once, we were told the pub had just been refurbished, from what we could see they had painted the walls and recovered the pool table to cover up the bloodstains, as we sound checked a rather large tattooed fella stomped up and said "play some Coldplay!" then mumbled in a rather high voice "Fix You" before staggering out of the joint, on the upside the landlady was rather attractive and spent the entire evening perched on a bar stool advertising to everyone that knickers were clearly optional...we never went back!
  2. My old band Saving Amy are looking for a new bassist, a rock band with a cracking female singer and some very good songs, nothing overly heavy, they have a number of festivals lined up in the next few months, I have said I will dep for a few festivals if needed whilst they get a new bassist up to speed Lots of stuff available on Facebook Give Duncan a call on 07842 380647 Rog
  3. Right, here we go! Hotpoint, my still in warranty fridge started leaking air in, we tried a new seal, no change, Hotpoint came out and viewed it, said it needed a new door, still leaked, they then realised the whole frame had warped, guess what, yep, that's not covered by warranty...b'stards! Gillette for putting the crappiest gel on the Mach 3 blades that barely last one shave now....40 years a customer now lost! Amazon for the same reason many other have mentioned Weatherspoons because Tim is a cockwomble Milton Keynes and Nottingham for money grabbing tricksy parking rules! Seat, every time I was away from home the darned car broke down on my wife Microsoft, for constantly trying to kill my computers with rubbish updates...hello Chromebook which is far better Bartolinni because every time I have had a bass with Barts installed I have hated the sound There are probably loads more but I am just old and grumpy! Rog
  4. Blimey, I have just realised I haven't brought or sold anything bass related this year! I have to admit to buying 4 six stringers and a nice new lightweight amp set up so the GAS is still there, just pointing in a different direction at the moment
  5. Big dots on my neck, set list, largely committed to memory, but also written in big letters and I look as cool as I did 30 years ago, just with a bit less hair🤣
  6. Too much to list them all, a Rockbass $$ Corvette being the stand out turd it was horrible in every single way, Thunderbirds, I just don't get them...well stop buying them you idiot! A Custom Shop 63 Precision but that helped me understand why there are so many CS guitars looking for new owners, yes they may be great instruments but not necessarily the great instrument you wanted! A Spector Forte, it was nice but not that nice, a Mesa Boogie D800, yes it says Mesa on it but old school Mesa it certainly isn't
  7. If you can make an extra 30 miles to Northampton I have a Precision Fretless or a top of the range Bass Collection you can borrow for as long as you need it?
  8. Amazingly, I am gas free, I have more bass gear than I will ever need, I seem to have finally settled on the basses I need and am ever going to use, I just need to build up the courage to sell the stuff I really don't need!
  9. I believe Prince was quoted as saying his favourite of his songs was Paisley Park which I think stands head and shoulders above pretty much anything else he did despite only just scraping the top 20 over here!
  10. I am pleased to say I am not actually gassing for anything bass related for the first time in many years! I still want a Gretsch White Falcon but that has been gassing away in the background since the 1980's when Billy Duffy turned up sporting one and looking ultra cool with it!
  11. I think Raidohead's The Bends would be very interesting, on a personal note I would love to see Stiff Little Fingers do Now Then but I doubt that qualifies as a classic album as even SLF's loyal following can never quite agree on that album!
  12. Just buy it, try it, find you do or don't like it and decide the route forward from there, I have gassed for a Gretsch White Falcon since I saw Billy Duffy sporting his back in 1986, I still want one today, the pain doesn't go away.....that's it I'm off to buy a Falcon and the scratch that itch, I knew Basschat would help me see sense
