It Wasn’t Me - Shaggy

Bowing out with some style I feel. Nice one.

Oops! I Did It Again - Britney

You can always add floor stands later .

The Cherry and Pacific Blue (green) ones look tasty.

Finally watched the OP video and I’m left wondering why someone as relatively little known as JG would even warrant a signature bass. I can only imagine that Fodera bigged him up because of the differences he had installed in his personal instrument. The same goes for Matt Garrison, hardly a household name, even amongst the bass community, and not particularly high profile IMO, but suddenly there’s a signature instrument. If Janek is to be believed, Garrison is a bit of a diva (I wonder if Anthony Jackson threw a hissy when either of these 2 ‘signature’ basses were produced? I’m guessing no, as AJ is high profile in our world and too busy working), but given that Fodera lavished both protagonists with ‘signature’ basses, I guess it’s easy to start having an over inflated opinion of oneself. I have 2 custom built Maruszczyks made to my specs, they must be my ‘signature’ models and perhaps I should approach Adrian about making them available at a cheaper price point for my acolytes? Oh yeah, I’m a nobody, as you were. As to the, “I wish I could pick up the phone and apologise,” comment, man alive! Come on, you’ve sat there, recorded, edited and generated a long video, you could’ve picked up the phone during the upload. Passive/aggressive perhaps? Finally, with regard to @ped’s editing comment, it irritates me too and seems all the rage in an effort, I guess, to be edgy. Other folk I follow occasionally have these jumps, but it’s plainly where they’ve ‘dropped in’ due to an error/retake, either that or they’re not very good at the edgy style.

Master of Puppets x Metallica

Gallow’s Pole - Zeppelin.

That is the cat’s whiskers (pun intended).

Don’t It Make My Brown Eyes Blue - Crystal Gayle

Shot Through The Fart - Bon Jovi

A decision seems to have been reached, well done, that man. Cue desperate scouring of every musical instrument outlet for the right DB, situated within reasonable reach of the North East. I was like that for ages, nothing. Moved to the other end of the country and suddenly suitable instruments became available close to my old home. The universe hates my bass dreams.

Pile(s)driver - Damn Yankees

Ain't that the truth and a very successful wheeze it is.

Seasons In The Sun - Terry Jacks

There are other shots where that very fine guitar player and very close friend looks even more like MK. He can also play exactly like MK when he wants too. However, it’s his own style that never fails to blow me away, a cross between Alan Murphy, Andy Powell, Johnny Marr and Knopfler. Lovely fella too who has to be told to turn up, a rare beast indeed. I would like to add that everyone in that band (not including myself here for fear of seeming a braggart) were fantastic musicians and I learnt masses during my tenure with them.

Time for that old favourite of this thread… Why Does It Hurt When I Pee? - Zappa

Having been follicly challenged for many years (my dad was bald as were both my granddads, I was always on a hiding to nothing with regard to my bicep covering) and own many, many hats, not least because I need to protect it from UV having had an UV induced growth. However, other than for a photoshoot and maybe an early gig or two with that band, I go sans titfer. Back when I had hair I would sport a bandana to soak up the sweat, but I use a towel these days, if required. Nonetheless, this thread calls for a hat, so a hat you shall have…

Alone Again, Naturally - Gilbert O’Sullivan

P/G change needed to my eyes, mint green would be better IMO. Nick the one off the white one.

Or desperately needing a pee.

Painkiller - Judas Priest

Lady Marmalade - LaBelle

Sailing Shoes - Little Feat
