banned years ago (under BC name antiloco)

Boz Burrell, Bad Company. Rick Danko, The Band. David J, Bauhaus. To name the first 3 that came into my head Edit: oops, missed lowdown's reply

I joined Finn Bass around 6 or 7 years ago but found it too slow moving (as in posts were infrequent and - often as not - by the same relatively small group of posters) to grab me and quickly drifted away again. In other news, its been reborn as a Spurs-supporting tennis player

I was happy to pay a bit more for a Reunion Blues Aero bag. Top quality and no risk of zip nicks! Plus, with the red velvet lining, it looks like Dracula's coffin ... which is nice. I can't see them on sale anywhere but Thomann would be a tenner cheaper than Andertons if you are prepared a to wait a couple of weeks https://www.andertons.co.uk/reunion-blues-aero-series-bass-guitar-case-aero-b2?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces

The vast majority of names mentioned in this thread were not banned (waynepunkdude and bass ferret certainly were). Most have, I guess, chosen to leave or take a break because life and priorities move on. A number of the named members did indeed leave in the (as was charmingly described) "mass dummy spitting event" in 2015. I was one of them and I will not rake over old coals. I rejoined after 4 years and enjoy spending my time on here.

Well, his profile page says he last visited 12 hours ago.

This stunning piece of classical music which was mentioned in an article in today's Times magazine. Came out in 2004 and was later apparently used in soundtrack of Shutter Island. Very beautiful indeed

Bought a lovely bass from Andrew. All as described .... plus he drove the not-inconsiderable distance from the Kent coast to London to ensure it was safely delivered. Top marks!

I suspect many bassists of my generation learned from Lemmy's propulsive playing on Hawkwind's 'Space Ritual'

Does this fit the bill? Weighs 13 pounds, side rest, £1250, full 3/4 neck (with heel) that can be played arco etc. Oh yeah, I am selling it!

I was 6/7 in 1970 and living in Melbourne, Australia. The only song I actually remember from that year was Tiny Tim singing "Tiptoe through the tulips" on a river boat procession in Melbourne. Confusing

Chuck in a dose of early prog Trespass- Genesis H to He who am the only one - Van Der Graaf Generator (Not including Floyd's Atomic Heart Mother as its a bit pants compared with the subsequent few albums)

Some fab industrial funk bass playing by A Certain Ratio's Jezz Kerr

One for the Fender-heads

@discreetwas always entertaining and also a fine bassist (I saw him play live with Pigbag maybe 10 years ago). I recall he did occasionally take breaks from BC and this may be another of those

I also quit for a few years for my own reasons (which I won't go into). But obviously I had to return at some point so I could resume losing money on buying and selling basses.

FYI, I was selling mine for £450 and it has a nearly mint set of TI flats on (ie, >£40 of new strings)

Mine is going back up FS as I still have too many basses (I know). One BCer had first dibs but hasn't been on the site since Sunday and not replied to my PM so I am not sure if he is still interested? Edit: the BCer concerned had COVID this week, which means I am going to hold fire on putting mine up FS. Only fair to the poor dude

Dang, and I was just about to ask about East 17 before East17
