Are you using an iPad?

Calling @ped... I've just noticed I'm running short on BC lanyards. We have a couple of Bashes coming up in the next few months, any chance I can blag a few more, if you have some obviously!

Sorry old man, totally didn't see that. Oh well, it's worth a double post!

Royal Blood? I've s*** 'em...

Just sold a bass to @casapete, our second transaction, and, just like the first, everything went really smoothly. So a) deal with absolute confidence and b) obviously this warrants the Frank Blank Seal of Confidence...

Yessir.

Big Country didn't do a lot for me but I was a huge fan of Skids (their name does not includeThe), a brilliant, brilliant guitarist.

I was concerned that using fingernails (or indeed a pick) would, over time, possibly damage the cavity cover or body of the bass. @Jabba_the_gut came up with a solution...

My fretless bass has a magnetic cavity cover, it was built by @Jabba_the_gut, he might be able to give you some info.

They would like to see you too darling.

I'll be bringing fretless and fretted @Jabba_the_gut short scales, QSC K12.2, Grace Design Alix.

Mick Karn - Gentlemen Take Polaroids Tessa Pollitt - Cut Jah Wobble - Metal Box

No one in their right mind wants Essex in the name of their event! I'll be bringing fretted and fretless short scale Jabba basses, Grace Design Alix, Effectrode compression of some sort, QSC K12.2.

@rwillett have we reached a point where we can start an attendee/gear list?

Never again!

Talking of Big Special...

Now that's the best news I've heard since I got the fretless semi-hollow bass. I am a very happy man!

Blimey, I'd forgotten I'd given him the wood he made that bass from. Does that mean it's mine..? 🤣🤣🤣

Just sayin' ...why not summon the man himself, paging @Jabba_the_gut.

Cheese footballs, just sayin'

Empires and Dance - Simple Minds All (well, most) of the songs are built around Derek Forbes' brilliant driving bass lines, it's my second favourite album of all time but that disheveled bar steward with the moist towelettes, @upside downer, beat me to it. If I were wearing a cravat and monocle and perhaps sporting a cane it would be Gentlemen Take Polaroids - Japan

Just sold a Sire acoustic bass to Dave, excellent comms, quick, painless transaction, a gentleman and a scholar, Obviously this earns him the barely sought-after Frank Blank Seal of Approval...
