    Wonder if members of Frankie Goes to Hollywood think he is likeable after been royally screwed by their ZTT deal?

    Adam Ant: Asked to comment on a famous photograph of himself and Geldof together prior to Live Aid, Ant tells Uncut magazine, "That was when I was asked by Sir Bob to promote this concert. They had no idea they could sell it out. Then in Bob's book he said, 'Adam was over the hill so I let him have one number.' One thing I'd like to do (in the photo) is kick him up the a**e. "Doing that show was the biggest f**king mistake in the world. Knighthoods were made, Bono got it made, and it was a waste of f**king time. It was the end of rock 'n' roll, now hippies run the world, like f**king (British festival) Glastonbury... I hate hippies."

    Does mental illness count? Did a gig where the vocalist's mother had him sectioned during the break. She dragged him off stage and drove him straight to a mental health institution. The rest of the band discussed what songs we could play without the vocalist. When the guitarist said 'well, that's a cosy 10 minutes ', I suggested 'Jazz Odyssey ' . True story.

    Once gigged after a biopsy. Played sat down and didn't carry any gear to avoid bursting the stitch.

    There's a Digitech BP355 for sale on here. It has the Digitech Whammy so does 2 octaves up, as well as various octaves, detuning, and harmonies.

    The scratch plate looks like it was cut out with scissors 😆 Lovely looking bass otherwise.

    The Peavey Black Widow seems to be a rite of passage 😆 My 1x15 was definitely a 2-person job to get up stairs. Sounded great though.

    I thought about having a Bucks Fizz this Boxing Day morn, but I'm having trouble making my mind up...

    Well you can pick it up and take it away with you. Because if that were true we'd all be insane for practicing.

    Floating thumb for me, and sometimes I pluck with the thumb, but also some palm muting depending on what I'm doing.

    $3,000.00 for a 2 hour set? Wonder what that is after tax...

    As @cetera knows, I've always had a soft spot for the Axe bass ☺️

    Until I saw Tom play it never occurred to me that you don't have to play all of the strings which are grouped together. He was often just playing the lowest string in each group. Amazing technique.

    Most people are quite shocked I'm not a qualified electrician.

      I'm confused - is this some kind of plug, are you looking to flex your skills?

    Stig Pedersen has some, er, interesting basses 🤣 Wouldn't want one myself but I do like them, especially the iPhone bass which displays the audience as he's playing 😎

    There are basses with an intentionally twisted neck. They're meant to be ergonomic.

    Is it not measured in 'trouser flaps'? As in 'trouser flapping goodness'?

    If I didn't already have a Boss ME-50B and more pedals than I know what to do with, I would have bought this as a backup. Btw, the tracking on the detuner is practically perfect. I had some strings on a short scale bass that were far too floppy at standard tuning, so I tuned up a tone, and set the detuner down a tone. No issues at all.

    I bet it's Carol Kaye 😜
