Happy Jack

You clearly haven't seen my flesh ... 😱

Spot on, Si, it is indeed Trigger's Shell Pink 5-string Fretless.

I 'ad one of them pejoratives in the back of me cab once ... it's a bit like a simile, only not so much.

In all fairness, Mick, you can only really lose them once ... 😉

😂 Bizarrely enough, after five years I've actually forgotten what the original photos looked like ...

Sssssssh ... I don't think anyone noticed.

Oxfordshire Music Rooms, on a farm (srsly) at Chalgrove. Prolly a mite closer to Prince's Whatsit than to Farnham, and absolutely nowhere near Sunbury, but what the heck ...

"It's old, so it's good." "No, it's new, so it's better." "No! It's old, so it's good." "No, it's new, so it's better." REPEAT ps: They're delusional. All of them.

I think it needs a whole new bass, frankly.

Well gosh darn it, the Gummint has a lot to answer fer but Jumpin' Jehosophat ah don' reckon as you can blame 'em fer this!

Aaaaaaargh!

You're not the only one ...

Good Grief! Thanks Andy.

You missed a bit under the bridge ...

Foam rubber? Or is that too low-tech? 😉

About as much as a large cat.

In that case, I've lost interest in the bass. Best stick it on eBay. 🤣🤣🤣

Rummaging around down the back of the sofa right now ...

This Ramirez chap does seem very, VERY coy about mentioning prices. 🙄

Playing a new song for an encore works for me ... how else are you going to learn it?

Seeing as no budget has been specified ... http://kolstein.com/product/kolstein-busetto-model-travel-bass-wtravel-trunk/ These do turn up pre-loved from time to time.

And I LOVE the Amplifier Dyno ...

Not to be confused with Malted Decals, playing non-challenging feelgood bed-time music at the Darby & Joan Club in Eccles.

Another excellent band name ... Melted Decals, playing post-math art-rock at venues in and around Leamington Spa.
