Happy Jack

Had one of those "Dad this is my new number" scam texts this morning. Rather than immediately delete it, I'm going to see how long I can keep them going. I asked "is that you Felicity?" and they said yes. Obvs I do not have a daughter named Felicity

 So now I've invented Felicity's no-good bum of a husband Hugo, who keeps selling her iPhones to fund his gambling habit. Let's see if they take that bait too.

4Why does Spotify keep playing me an advert in Spanish? Just this one Spanish ad, no other ads, just this one. It's weird.

Fretless players: do you ever have one of those days when you start playing and your intonation is just bleugh? And then find yourself wondering, "Are my hands having a bad day, or are my ears having an unusually good one?"

I made a Band Name Generator: https://names.bandrocks.co.uk/

Got to Got to meet Pino last night in Cardiff. What a life changing experience!! 

Just re-discovered flats. Re-fitted D'Addario Chromes to my AVRI 63 Precision and all the glorious thump came back. Then spent a delightful half-hour playing Steely Dan numbers on it. Mmm...

Never really got on with Barefaced cabs but a gen1 Compact has come up locally...hmmmm....

Looks like I'm the new owner of a bass with great provenance! Pics to follow when it arrives 

Just been looking through the "Basses for sale" thread. 

For the first time in ages there are some amazing, not often seen, basses for sale.

Choice of 2 Pedullas, headless ACG, to name just a few .

I'm glad that I'm skint, otherwise I would be buying more basses that I don't "need".

Ska band's gig next Saturday is at a Conservative Club. Hmm, well a payday's a payday I suppose. Anyway... I've bought a special shirt for the occasion. 

I've noticed my left ear was a bit muffled of late, so all this week I've been popping a few drops of Otex in each evening in an attempt to soften it all up... last evening I gave it a good flush out with some hot water, and now not only can I hear in glorious stereo again, but I've got the makings of a good sized candle.

Further to the 'community?' thread, do any of the Bristol BC massive fancy getting together for a pint and a yak? Maybe even a ruby?

There's nothing in this pointless section. It can all go in Off Topic or some other area

Engrossing TV...The Pope driving around Rome...

I went to the Doctor's because I keep painting myself gold.

He said not to worry, I just have a gilt complex.

I Think the damage may be to far gone and I don't have the funds to buy another Bass but id love to find a way of replacing the top if possible and ideas at this point  would gratefully accepted.  Thanks in advance   

Sublimination of photos on aluminum plates - anyone on here do that? 

I'm having trouble finding a supplier for a project

Well, thanks UPS. They shipped my new bass from Tamworth to Amsterdam (where I live). And then to Stanford. And then to Amsterdam. And then to Stanford. And now it's on its way to Amsterdam for the third time in two days. Great.

Terrible night. Dreamt something bit me on the neck. Got up to check but the mirror wasn't working.

After seeing their energy bills rise, my local Chinese restaurant has been trying to save money.

They say they can't turn all the lights off, but they do dim some.

There's a first. We walked away from a gig without playing a note as the pub thought we had too many amps (we are a 5 piece) and our amps looked "too loud". We hadn't even plugged in or fully set up. When they asked us to lose a band member or play after 10pm when their restaurant was closed, we packed our gear and left. Lord Raglan in Wokingham, for the record. My advice: never accept a gig there

Pulled the trigger & ordered a Noble! 

Is there something funy?
