    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.

    Ooh, that’s a looker! Note to self - stop looking at P basses for sale, that way danger lies .

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

    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).

    I see that price of new Sterling SS ‘Rays has gone up, they’re plainly popular and I understand why, I’ve fallen even more in love with mine recently.

    That’s quite an extensive crack, it looks like the finish hasn’t bonded to the undercoat properly. If you don’t mind the odd chip (mojo and all that), I’d be inclined to try and stabilise the finish, if possible, with cyanoacrylate glue. However, I do wonder if that entire finish would just lift off really easily, leaving a sealed, natural finish, that you could sand and buff?

    Ooh! Colour me intrigued. I think some details are required here.

    That silver finish is rather fetching with the roasted maple.

    Sadly, not the first (or even the second) time I’ve heard this.

    I dislike the majority of musicals with a passion. However, WSS is one of the very few exceptions. The recorded version with Kiri Te Kanawa and Jose Carreras is sublime (the documentary that went with it was great too). I’ve seen it at the theatre too, with a cast of no one famous, but those songs are so superb, it didn’t matter. America is always the highlight for me, fantastic melody and clever lyrics. Other musicals that get a pass are: Grease (saw this at the theatre and it was lot more risqué than the film); Sound of Music; the latest Star is Born (or is that just a film with songs?) and the one opera that doesn’t send me running from the room - Carmen.

    My JMJ slopes away on the E string but the D & G are pretty level. Whatever produces a fairly even output is the name of the game for me.

    Love the look of the DC in both the bass and guitar versions. Good enough for Jimmy Page, good enough for me (if I had one that is). Very cool stacked pots. Hardboard, that well documented tonew… er… composite.
