  1. Brain: hey! You remember that REALLY irritating song from the late 70s, the one you absolutely loathe and detest with every fibre of your being?

    Me: don't. Just... don't.

    Brain: you know, the one that went 🎶laa de-daa, dum-dum-dum🎶?

    Me: please, please don't.

    Brain: 🎶laa de-daa dum-dum-dum, laa de-daa dum-dum-dum🎶

    Me: nooooooooo

    Brain {3 hours later}: 🎶laa de-daa dum-dum-dum, laa de-daa dum-dum-dum🎶

    Me: *sobbing*

  2. The UK National Screeening Committee has today passed on the opportunity to recommend screening the vast majority of men at high risk of prostate cancer. This is deeply disappointing. If you agree, please sign the link below (and ignore the donation request if you want!) so my charity and others can keep the pressure on. Thank you

      The speeches. The patient Darren really brings it home why this is so important.

  6. Ever buy a bass and know you will be selling it within a few hours :( 

    1. Clarky

      Clarky

      within minutes - when the weight is way above what it was advertised at and you know immediately it will wreck your dodgy shoulder/neck

  8. Hi, Do you still have It?

      I think you need to DM the person you wish to ask this question of! You have just asked the entire forum about an unidentified "it"

  9. On the very odd chance that some/any of you are attending the East Finchley festival tomorrow, I am depping for my old goth/post punk band The InSect at 4pm on the main stage. A short but sweet 25 minute set

      Hi there, so sorry for your loss, Nick was a lovely and well respected guy around these parts. Perhaps if you have a specific request or people you want to contact from the forum you could post at the end of this thread about Nick? Again - so sorry

  11. That turned out to be a rather expensive bass! 🙂

      Told you Gibson basses were very undervalued by the market!

  13. Another The InSect gig coming up. Friday at the Dublin Castle  in  Camden. Come along for some goth/post punk and also nerdy bass gear-gazing, if you wanna see a Wilcock Mullarkey in action!

     

  14. Olympics closing ceremony music section and the bassists for Air and Phoenix have each played US Mustangs and each had a piece of black tape obscuring the Fender logo???

    1. Clarky

      The thing is, H.E.R. (she of the mimed guitar solo in Paris) had a Fender Strat with a clear unadulterated Fender logo????

      Maybe they were MDP Mustangs, with carefully cut nuts (for a comfy low action for those of us with small/large hands), re-sited tuners and tone tape? PS, have you read my romance/fantasy book, "A whiff of smoke over the angle grinder", set in the Greek islands?

  16. Having a bass you dearly want but a bass you need to sell first is an agonising first world problem.

      As is impatiently buying a bass when funds are available, only to see a nicer one come up for sale a couple of weeks later...

      Hoping all goes fantastically well! My (only) daughter gets married in July and I haven't written a word of my speech yet. Eeeekkk!

  18. Is it me, or is the Classfieds slower than ever at the moment?  Noticing a LOT of stuff hanging around for ages that would have been snapped up not so long ago...

    1. Clarky

      I have given up for now and withdrawn the two basses I was trying to sell on both BC and eBay. Reason being I spend too much time checking in and bumping and - on eBay - answering idiots!  A kind of relief to not keep wasting time ... and I am sure the market will return to something like normality at some point

      I have taken to putting stuff up on eBay as well. That's pretty dead too. Loads of watchers, no actual offers (apart from the occasional absurd lowball chancer, eg £600 for my vgc black/black/maple US Jazz)
