  1. Hmm, I quite like that. I’ve never been a particularly big Rush fan, I much prefer their later albums to their early material. I’ve never understood why people think a new project should just be a continuation of a previous one. This is possibly something he’s wanted to do for a while?
  2. It’s not central London, but I have been here a few times. It’s pretty good, if a little expensive - though I guess that’s relative, I’m used to Birmingham prices. https://www.residentstudios.com/about-us/ There was a place in central London that I used a couple of times too. I can’t remember the name now though, and certainly wouldn’t recommend it.
  3. I liked Moffett’s playing, he was great on both upright and electric bass. A friend just linked to this album on Bandcamp. I’m listening to it right now. https://nettduo.bandcamp.com/album/overtones?fbclid=IwAR0IGgo_FvS5GbfhX8mlFhfjvjp2WqJRwD3qwe39zy3s5eZYA4BwmHBJBCo
  4. It’s happened to me. I had hassle from someone a couple of years ago when I was selling a pair of Genelec monitors. The guy was going to pay but didn’t, then demanded to know why I hadn’t posted them. Now I always state clearly on the listing that it’s strictly cash on collection only, and give my post code. Anyone wanting anything different the message is deleted and they’re blocked. Life is too short to spend messing about with dishonest people on the internet.
  5. Like new, bought at the beginning of March. They come complete with all original packaging, coily cable, spare ear muffs. I’m a bit of a headphone freak, I have quite a few pairs, I’m always trying new ones. I don't get on with these, they’re great sounding, just a little uncomfortable for my head. These are The V1 model. I bought the V2s at the same time to compare, I thought these sounded better. Price includes special delivery postage.
  6. Maybe use an SkB Bass Safe? Your gig bag fits inside it. There was one advertised in the sales section recently.
  7. I don’t know the answer to your question, I played one a few years ago, they’re wonderful instruments. There’s one for sale on the site at the moment.
  8. Following the fallout between the Campbell brothers there’s two UB40s, as if one wasn’t one too many.
  9. I don’t think Sims are operating at the moment. I believe Martin is just doing LEDs and pickups.
  10. They’re using the name Pink Floyd simply because it’ll sell more copies and make more money for a very good cause. It’s simple marketing.
  11. Thanks for sharing this, I’ll listen to it later. I love hearing bass played outside of its regular setting. John Patitucci composed a beautiful piece for 6 string bass and strings a few years ago.
  12. You mean it’s hidden behind the sofa until she goes to bed?
  13. You could have your favourite bass hollowed out and filled with helium?
  14. I just sold a gig bag to Steve. It must have been one of the quickest and easiest transactions I’ve done on here. Highly recommended.
  15. I used to say I was a music teacher, which was actually true.
  16. I’ve never referred to myself as a musician for my car insurance, it bumps the price up too much.
  17. I just spotted this on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb5x_N7sQ-z/?utm_medium=copy_link
  18. I didn’t know that. Thank you.
  19. That’s the main reason I didn’t go.
  20. You’re not doing a lot to help my Dingwall GAS 😁.
  21. The photo towards the top of this page suggests that too.
  22. The best one I’ve been to was in Manchester about 15 years ago. It was held in a music venue, and was more performance orientated with just a few stands from manufacturers and distributors. I remember Jonas Hellborg being there, along with Janek Gwizdala and Yolanda Charles.
  23. I am quite shocked by that photo. I’ve been to a few of these in the past, they’ve always been crowded - one of the reasons why I stopped going.
