Happy Jack

I don't play guitar either, but I suspect that I'm just weird anyway.

It still goes on. Take a look at these, on eBay for another 55 minutes as I type this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shure-SM57-LC-Cardioid-Dynamic-Instrument-Microphone/183175482964?hash=item2aa61c0e54:g:C7wAAOSw-vda0DHZ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shure-SM57-LC-Cardioid-Dynamic-Microphone-01/183175483485?hash=item2aa61c105d:g:k~AAAOSwZ3Ja0DIU https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shure-SM57-Cardioid-Dynamic-Instrument-Microphone-02/183175484125?hash=item2aa61c12dd:g:dawAAOSwx3Va0DJT So that's a new eBay seller with 0 Feedback score selling three brand-new SM57s at the same time, with the same photo for each, all at knock-down prices. What could possibly go wrong?

+1 to the first sentence. Maybe not so much to the second.

That was one of the nicest days I can remember - really lovely bunch of people, played some excellent (and thought-provoking) kit, met some old friends, made some new ones. Basschat at its finest.

£9500? Not sure I can count that high to Bassie.

They don't make 'em like they used to. I don't mean that as a compliment.

I particularly liked the BUY with CONFIDENCE line.

Now you can play The Funky Chibbon.

Roger Warner / A. Watt? Odd name for a band ...

So a pick is the cure for tinnitus - who knew?

Silvie & me.

The preamp on the SWB Pro is a thing of beauty. I'll be very surprised if you're disappointed.

Did the Government destroy the UK cheese industry? Well? Did it?

That photo needs a good kick in the bucolics.

So it's £15k for the bass plus £8k for the case then?

Any Crap Reggae Or Numetal You Meet ...

In't it funny how the villains always talk the bleedin' same?

Pete's bang on the money here. It's not about finding the site, it's about getting permission to film there. There are usually a number of very good reasons why they put bloody great fences around places like that. As an alternative, try booking a rehearsal at Panic Button Studios on Platt's Eyot in the Thames at Sunbury/Hampton. Maybe not quite as 'abandoned factory' as you want, but certainly a huge slice of 'industry that time has left behind' with an old WW2 airfield sort of feel to it, verging on an episode of The Prisoner.

"Neither Bob nor Jerry were professionals at customization" No stinky poo, Sherlock.

But we're all bang alongside the use of appropriate profanities, right?

He also has a 1957 Precision in tobacco sunburst, very similar to mine but not in nearly as good condition as mine. He wants £16,999 for it.
