Someone Somewhere in Summertime - Simple Minds

This what I have found and don’t like about Comfort Strapps. Good to know.

Stealing that.

Up A Lazy River - Hoagy Carmichael

Err?

Some '80s crap... Some'80s gold...

Pressure Drop - Toots & The Maytals (and Robert Palmer).

I’m a ‘60s child and am not a fan of that decade, although I’m aware of its significance. The ‘70s were good for what I was listening to, but it’s the ‘80s I like the best. Yes, like all decades, there was a goodly amount of dross, but there was so much good stuff, at least to my ears (see @Rich’s post above for some prime examples) and it was when I was first drawn to play the bass (Pino). For me, it’s the ‘90s where music went to die (at least post ‘91). However, if you were into Britpop, you’ll love that period.

Who has the courage to potentially split the front runners?

Nice, bummer about the wait though (cue drumming of fingers on any available surface for the next year). Did you try a Lionel first or have you gone on trust, BC opinions and instinct?

I see what you've done there - kudos.

Ain’t Talkin’ ‘Bout Love - Van Halen

Good morning, Senõr and wilkommen.

Yes, it is. One of my all time favourites and a big influence. Tom Brechtline on drums, making up one of my top 3 rhythm sections. If you haven’t already, check out Roscoe’s solo album. It’s not your typical solo bass album, there’s only one very small bass solo, more a long fill. It’s his songs featuring a number of great guitarists.

Welcome to my Nightmare - Alice

It Must Be Jelly - Glenn Miller Orchestra

Hit The Road Jack - Ray Charles

Sorry to hear that economical priorities have forced you into your current position, but it sounds like it’s not all doom and gloom. Glad it’s worked out for you. However, ahem…

Mud on the Tires - Brad Paisley

White Man In Hammersmith Palais - The Clash

It was hearing Red Barchetta from the new release on the radio that had me rushing (pun intended) to press the add to basket button. The separation is lovely.

It’s looks very much like there’s going to be a 50/50 division on this.

You're amongst friend here.

Did this to my Rob Allen MB2. I contacted Rob beforehand to check if it would be OK, he mentioned nut slots and truss rod adjustment, but it'd be OK. Tried it, didn't need to change the slots and the relief was rock solid. However, I changed back to B-G as the C wasn't as useful as I thought it might be and I missed the low D.

Pre-ordered the CD pack the other day, received an email saying that they (HMV) wouldn't have enough for immediate despatch . Now waiting...
