  1. On my hols in Italy at the moment... I was on a bus in Capri yesterday and got chatting to the young British couple sitting next to me... turns out they're from the same village near Reading that I was born/brought up in.

      It's a small world. Wouldn't want to paint it though...

  2. Unbelievably, another Basschatter has just accused me of plagiarism.




    His words, not mine.

      Plagiarise a few more, then you can call it research...

  3. So my Evri delivery which at first 'couldn't be delivered' even before they'd picked up from the seller (300 miles away), and which was then guaranteed for Thursday, is now happening Friday. And we all know when Friday deliveries arrive - Monday.

    A guy answered "how the hell did you get this number‽".

      I was asked why the book was so thick. It's a long story, I said.

  8. Wow, I just received a message on IG from Schecter that I have won a bass. 😊

      Hope it's genuine and you are not asked for a transaction fee, or delivery charge, etc...

  9. How did I never hear of this great forum? I only joined this morning and I'm in the process of buying a bass I've been after for yonks. Result.

  12. Things you get told on Facebook groups:

    Apparently, saying that I wouldn't shed any tears if a pair of child torturers/murderers got the sht kicked out of them in prison actually makes me a worse person than the two killers themselves.

    Blimey. All this time I thought I was a bit of a bleeding-heart pinko lib, but it seems I'm an absolute rank amateur.

      One wonders how the people in Liverpool who were throwing bricks at the prison van transporting the then 10 years old Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, would have viewed an adult who killed them?

  14. It's just been announced that my band Black Atlas will be playing Bloodstock this year on the new blood stage! I can't wait!

  15. explain this spectracomp thing for TC amps. I did a stupid late night purchase and have a pointless 800W of ANGRY and this phone app has a billion options under 'spectracomp' what am I looking for?

      I was tempted with the current price, but I'm not sure the tuner is chromatic, and only 1 toneprint can be used at a time.

  16. Loving my traynor

    1. MacDaddy

      MacDaddy

      Best bass sound I ever had was from a 60w Traynor combo. Lovely deep and fat, yet somehow still cut through when with the band.

      What have you got?

  17. Yesterday the COV002 trial 'unblinded' me -- i.e. I was told whether I'd been in the vaccine group or the control group. Turns out I had the vaccine. Still no long-term side effects to report.
    Apart from growing the flippers, and the extra head.

      How did the trial work? Were you exposed to the virus to test the vaccines efficacy, or was it only to test side affects?

  18. Profile pic changed, in line with Basschat Secret Santa tradition :) 

  19. After months of mucking about on guitar because it was more interesting, I picked up one of my basses this evening and played.  It was so much more satisfying.  I'll always be a bass player.

      i played lead guitar in a band for 8 years. I'm not a guitarist but I can do a pretty good impression of one.

      I'm a bassist :)

  20. so fed up with 2020 I bought a skinny stringed G****r   

  21. Spending my entire bass fund, plus a load extra on a bass will make me feel better about 2020 won't it? 
    This is a shite year

  23. NBD! It’s finally arrived... ordered my once-in-a-lifetime custom bass and after 2 1/2 years of build time/delays it’s finally here.... got to be honest I’m not smitten 🥺

  24. Well flap me sideways, I've done it again. How nice. 3 times in the last 4 days.

    🍾🎉🎊

      It's definitely not my in depth bass knowledge that's popular! 😝
