    Playing my longest ever gig tonight. Two sets for a total of c.2 hours. Back should be fine (debut of sub 7lb Serek Midwestern bass).

      Sub 7lb? I could be doing with one of these for my 3 hour pub gigs!

    Looking forward to playing Fiddler's Elbow, Camden on Friday. Onstage 8pm in case anyone fancies coming along. Expect rocking blues with tons of guitar solos and barely adequate bass playing 🤣

      You can get round that by calling them something else. My favourite term is 'clang stick'.

    Torvill and Dean will be appearing at Bournemouth Pavilion on Saturday. Thus concludes today's skaters update

  9. Clarky

    My two sausage dogs have just been for a walk in Richmond Park and eaten loads of rabbit poo. They are producing lots of little tommy squeakers. Thus concludes today's flatus update

      Think yourself lucky Clarky, I stopped to talk to another dog walker earlier today whilst walking my (f***ing stupid) Labrador Buddy, only for my 8-year daughter to point out that Buddy was eating pooh pretty much as it came out of the other dog's a**e.....

      Better than feeling rather lego after treading on uncomfortable.

    Greater love hath no man for a woman ... I have just sat through the first two episodes of the Sex in the City reboot. "And just like that" with Mrs C. This is not bass related but I felt the need to share my pain

      Update (because I know you are all desperately interested):  I was obliged to spend a chunk of my Friday evening watching episode 3. Thoroughly enjoyable .... in that it was a fantastic hour spent surfing the web on my mobile phone.

  12. Clarky

    Getting nervous about this fuel shortage/non-shortage. Whole band is supposed to be driving up to Scotland from London on Friday, returning Monday and really don't fancy running out halfway there...

      Shame, I'm in Glasgow and there doesn't seem to be as much of a issue up here. If you'd made it over the border I reckon you would have been grand! Such a bonkers situation to end up in!

    Parcelled up bass to send to Belgium via DPD, attached customs documents in clear plastic sleeve. Bass rejected and returned to me a few days later, no explanation and no indication the >£100 paid (fully insured for a £2k bass) will even be partially refunded. Brexit, yay

      I sold something to a chap in Belgium, didn't get it sent before Christmas.   It'll be back up for sale shortly.  (Brexit isn't the only reason, but it is a reason.)

      Not good.

      My parcel also going to Belgium, but not a Bass, appears to have cleared UK customs but hasn't actually left the country yet (as far I can tell from the tracking). When I booked the shipping it was due to be delivered on Thursday (yesterday).

      Ugh. What a mess for you Clarky. I hope this situ rights itself for you.

    Merry Christmas to BassChat (and to my FaceBook bass pals who may have wondered where I am: I quit FB a few weeks ago). Enjoy!

    Guy Pratt's old R*ck 4001 - as played on the live screening of the Saucerful of Secrets gig from the Roundhouse - sounded great and IMHO beat his collection of Fenders, Bass Collection and Warwick. Sacrilege around here but there you go!

    My new band renamed to Beneath The Roses, as feedback on The Chokeholds was that it was too reminiscent of sexual violence and US police brutality. And that isn't good!

    EA combo: there's an iamp350 combo on eBay thats been there for many months (£345 plus £15 delivery) so would probably take an offer. Looks in need of a good clean-up but thats all.
