I'm now remembering with fondness some my old haunts with my mates as teenagers we would go down our local record shop ,spin in ,pete who was the owner new his stuff bands were formed on these premises why listening to the clash ,joy Division ,and lots of other stuff ,we formed some pretty decent bands in our youth in this Aladdin's cave of treasures ,sorry I'm rambling now🤔

It is indeed a sad day ,everyone likes a bargain unfortunately it killing the high street ,where I grew up the town is a ghost town all the shop have closed it does make me feel sad ,I'm as guilty for buying online we have no record shops left now and one music shop it used to be a vibrant town ,the death of my little town Crewe in Cheshire 😥

No your right records , it is I blame my son and his hipster mates ,with their fancy talk,ps no offence taken Maude 😄👍

What with streaming these days ,cd and DVD are a sinking ship ,but vinyls have gone up in sales ,who even uses money these days it's all PayPal and the like ? Feel sorry for all those people who are going to lose their jobs ,blade runner springs too mind enjoy the journey folks it about to get a whole lot weirder

Freedom of speech ,it's called they haven't taken that away from us just yet!!!

Thanks peeps ,nice to be back😁

Agreed I wouldn't give any artist the time of day who airs there political views, and especially those who are extremist, with their outdated Victorian views on life this we don't want at all in any shape or form, and if you do put in your music, but whining about you've run out of caviar for breakfast probably isn't a strong selling point for music!!!

i know she was discovered by Dave gilmour or something like that ,my opinion is purely my own and my older brother would agree with you she a genius ,I have a very open mind but I just don't get it people

Well I had a listern to her earlier on, I lasted 2 songs, it was like a cats choir only not as entertaining, I've had a lie down with some Chopin I'm all better now thanks for asking😱

I appreciate people admiration for Kate Bush my older brother always liked her and still does I remember in 80s that's hounds of love album he played it to me Errr no thanks, I then retired to my pit and put on Thearte of hate, followed by some, anthrax, PS she was good eye candy 🍬

Just heard Kate Bush on the radio is it just me I can't understand a word she sings, some xmas dribble of a song, awful pure torture

Thanks, done the band thing to many times I love playing live but not lthe ate nights, it's my age 😱

Having been messing about on my acoustic guitar for a few weeks, I picked one my basses up last night and you know what I actually enjoyed playing for me and playing stuff I enjoy it was great with a drum machine and lot of different effects

Cheers people ,you're a lovely bunch and all your posts are much appreciated as always ,I won't stray far from the fold , I've met some of you over the years and some I haven't,all of you a lovely bunch ,big love too you all ❤️

Well I've been pondering for a while now ,no proper band and only jamming now and then ,me and my musical journey on bass have finally come to a end .its a sad day indeed ,the band scene is not great around here either no more , so I'm gonna concentrate on my first love which is acoustic guitar ,take care everyone , over and out 👍

Ha ha very good guys 😁😎

Thanks chris I think it's my way forward with some lessons

Thanks peeps, much appreciated as always for all your advice, I do have a Fretless and six stringer and 5,think I'll concentrate on those babies for now, I'm definitely getting more into jazz and funk these days think that's answered my own self doubt really, cheers

I can nail it live , when put on the spot , perhaps I miss the gigging, ,all my theory I learnt as a guitar player seems of gone out of the window ,perhaps I'm not loving bass as much these days and I may take a break and concentrate on my acoustic guitar for now or learn keys think the break will do me good to be honest as mentioned by Crawford 13 drums!!!

Dear Deirdre I mean basschat ,Well I've finally admitted too myself my playing gone stale stuff ,I used find easy to play and study just doesn't happen no more and it's getting me down , I used know my circle of fifths , major scale , minor scale .and everything inbetween it become quit embarrassing I've even forgotten what key I'm in oh bugger ,My brain turns to mush ,I've even thought about lessons but finding someone near me in Nantwich in Cheshire is like looking for a needle in a haystack plenty of guitar tutors but no dedicated bass tutors , not really into Skype type of lessons any suggestions much appreciated 😕

I really can relate with this, my Mrs calls me delboy because I shift gear all the while and this, really has me questioning my commitment to playing, and my current situation a jam a couple of times a month is hardly worth my effort or time even tho the rest of the band are great I don't reckon its going anywhere, I could sell and buy a nice motorbike and may do sooner rather than later, keep your fave bass Andy and shift the rest on and have some time away from it all and book your holiday, good luck matey on whatever you decide, PS amps and stuff can be replaced.
