Back when I lived down south and was gigging, Alice was often my homeward bound companion. He’s a great DJ as is Joe Elliot, especially as Joe often plays very different things from the PR norm. I miss the Hairy Bikers, their Sunday show was essential listening, just for the chat alone.

Sounds eminently likely, the nut height on my Sterling ‘Ray SS was unnecessarily high.

I also really enjoy the Planet Rock Years (except when it’s ‘67 & ‘68), always fun to try and work out the year (I was a year out today 😤). Some of the Saturday & Sunday late evening programs are good fun.

The request shows are an indication of why the daytime shows tend to peddle the same old, same old a lot of the time. 4 hours or so for the listening public to request what it likes and yet these requests are even more predictable than the usual programming. Yes, they probably select requests of things they have readily available in their library but, for the most part, it’s the same weekend in, weekend out. I listen to PR most days and always like the ‘shortest show on the radio’ where Darren (a fellow BCer) and Wyatt do their grumpy old men schtick.

How do you find the JMJ compares tone-wise to you P?

Bring Me to Life - Evanescence

I have a Sterling, short scale ‘Ray and absolutely love it. It needed a little nut fettling on arrival and I replaced the functional, but slightly sloppy tuners, other than that, it’s my current go to bass, despite being the cheapest bass in my modest collection. I’d certainly buy another if something happened to it.

Update: my ennui with fretless has continued, even to the point where I’m not keen when I hear it on the radio. Who am I and what has the body snatcher does with the original Ezbass? However, my GAS for a double bass or EUB has grown in direct proportion to my flagging fretless desire. Checked out some NS EUBs and dismissed them for sounding too fretless like. However, the Harley Benton, scroll topped EUB sounds more like a DB to me. Currently out of stock, but I will keep checking Thomann for when they come in (proper, affordable double basses are like rocking horse poop in my area).
