  1. If one were to woo a lady with a succession of Reggae songs, where might be a good place to start?  Without being too direct. I feel a good term would be blatant subtlety which i coincidentally may have just come up with yet cannot fully explain. I have no idea what i'm doing except steering towards the little bit of light at the end of this dark tunnel

      I have a reasonably accurate comparison for what's going on lately. The show Parks and recreation, Jerry's wife. I'll try and link it (on my phone) . Besides from the first short scene with the doctor (sadly not an issue for me) but very much like the following one with the slack jaws and wtf how expressions. Went for a walk yesterday and sat having a giggle at people walking past double taking at the stunningly beautiful woman snuggled into my shoulder. I'm still gobsmacked about my situation,  now I'm not pinching myself just in case I do wake up

      I have to give many many thanks  to those that helped this happen.

      @Reggaebass you went above and beyond bro, big respect.  @SpondonBassed @GisserD @pete.youngand anyone who commented or gave support it was greatly appreciated and I feel grateful for it all. The language of love truly is music ❤️

      Really glad it’s all going well for you mr T , all the best 👍

  2. For some reason i can't reply to your Machinehead wanted post, I have a set of Harley benton pb-20 tuners in black if thats the type you mean?

      You can't reply to wanted ads. You have to send a personal message.

  3. Ended up buying a new amp, despite more flip flopping yet again (so many choices) I decided against the katana. Orange crush 100 on its way to me now. Love the tone from these ❤️

      Picked it up today , it is quite large 😲

      I'd add a NAD post , but everyone knows what a large orange box looks like. No way to record a sound sample , so that's out, thankfully.

      It does sound great , have not had it past 50% yet as the Mrs was still in. Loving the blend function and may have to buy the separate footswitch for it. 

      Might have to practice quietly for a while as i recently swapped to 5 strings and its trickier than i thought to adjust my playing. 

      All said and done , i'd happily recommend them to someone looking for a reasonably loud and affordable MASSIVE orange box

  4. I have a delivery slot, not me personally,  the Ibanez Btb that's coming. 12:07-13:07. Time to sit by the window now

      This is really quite accurate

       

      However , it arrived and all is well. NBD thread incoming soon™️

  5. And now we're getting two kittens. Unsure how this transpired

      I wasn't aware myself, but here I am buying kitten stuff 🤷‍♂️

      Guess the new bass will live on the wall mount in case of claw damage

      Wait 'till they discover guitar cases.  It's great that you're getting two.  They'll tire each other out.

      Well they've investigated some of their new home , had a play with each other and the kids and are crashed out again in their new bed. Impossibly cute :x

  6. Btb805MS now ordered, cannot wait for delivery day. Hopefully this week 🤞

      It's coming tomorrow 😁 Once the tracking info arrives I'll be like a kid with the seasonal santa tracker studying it every 5 mins torturing myself

  7. 14 hours until touchdown in a sensible temperature. Every day 30°C+ is far too much for a pasty Scotsman

      Wait - that still sounds like a punishment ;)

      It’s not predicted to drop below 27 here all week and the humidity is high which can be uncomfortable. But it’s 5 degrees at home and the hotel bars have good aircon and cheap drinks.

      Right now I'm looking forward to 5 degrees. Until I get there at least. Sat in the airport at the minute, not long now

  8. Final night here in overly sunny tenerife,  35 hours and 15 mins approximately until I get my hands on a bass again. Not that I'm counting...

  9. Now that I am on holiday with the family,  I  get an email saying the bass I have my eye on (and intend to purchase) is now back in stock. Typical 🙃

      I had exactly the same thing. Currently on holiday until end of next week. I got an email this morning telling me bass that I’ve been waiting for finally became available. Purchased straight away and will be delivered to my workplace.

      PS. I wonder if it’s the same one? Jackson Minion, white with maple fretboard from Manns Music.

      Ibanez btb for me, been eyeing them up for years and finally decided to go for it once I get back. Using this time to make sure 100% as I have been flip flopping on choice a lot recently, reckon this is the one

  10. Oh wow its hot here 37°C today 🥵

    Itching to play already and we only got here last night. Tenerife is unseasonably hot

      Sounds great, how long are you out there for?

      I come home about 1am on Tuesday. I may be just a pile of bones in a puddle of sweat by then. It's so hot they've closed the schools here this week. Never seen the like before. Ran out of t shirts quickly, 4 showers a day is not uncommon as is 4l of water 🥵

  11. My daughter wants to play! Happy days! Also twice as much gear to buy which I see as an additional plus point. She quickly dropped playing guitar after a couple of tries but has stuck at 4 strings and asks me to use a bass almost every night. She got the bug big time and is soooo excited by anything and everything bass. I'm loving it ❤️

      My 13 year old daughter asked me a couple of weeks ago if she can use one of my basses. So I've given her my old Dean Edge 4 for the time being. She wants to respray it Candy Apple Red, hopefully I can get away with just a standard metallic red....

      Excellent news. When my son was in his teens, he started to play bass - and that inspired me to pick up my bass more often.
      Hope your daughter stays keen on bass :)
