  1. What’cha gonna do about it? - Small Faces
  2. Country boy - Heads Hands and feet
  3. I pretty much only listen to jazz, but don’t play it. I play in a covers band mainly 50’s to 80’s stuff, some of which I probably had never listened to until I joined.
  4. Explain to me the grommets please. I play octave mandola (mandolin if you’re an American) but I have never heard of these and have no idea what they are supposed to do. I always thought going from mandolin to bass or vice versus was kind of strange, I only knew of Chris Hillman and Dave Pegg who did it.
  5. Gone, gone , gone - Robert Plant & Alison Krauss
  6. Crazy horses- Osmonds
  7. Flowers in the rain - The Move
  8. Even if you’re using a hard case, unless it’s one shaped to fit the bass perfectly, wrap the neck at least in bubble wrap. Some people suggest taking the neck off, but that may be ott or just not possible. A customs declaration has to be detailed, so the courier may not know enough.
  9. The Carpenters a house band at Disney and got the sack! As commemorated in the song Mr Goodber. ( Have I spelt that right?)
  10. I thought we’d left Europe! What else was Brexit for?
  11. Slow boat to China- just about everyone who sings jazz or easy listening from Bing to Frank to Ella and everyone else
  12. Heavy hip mama - Curtis Jones
  13. Some of these sound over complicated. I use a Blackstar headphone amp. Just plug and go. It does have a rhythm machine built in so you can practice playing in time.
  14. House of the rising sun - Trad. The Animals
  15. That looks like some hefty mahogany beast.
  16. I can hear the grass grow - The Move
  17. Don’t you lie to me - Chuck Berry
  18. You should check them out early Jack Casady’s made by them, all Epi semis. Martin Taylor had a signature model made by them and he’s pretty discerning.
  19. Hot club of Cowtown in Exeter on 3rd May. Yeeha!
  20. Private dancer - Tina Turner
  21. Peerless have made great guitars and basses for other companies, Epiphone, Gretchen etc. They have made some great basses under their own name so show us what you have - Retromatic, Smoke, Bassmaster Player, anything else?,
  22. Schools out for summer Alice Cooper
  23. Question - The Moody Blues
  24. Love me tender - the King
  25. March of the mods - Joe Loss
