Hi Folks, Just bought a speakon to speakon cable from Mike. The cable's perfect, Mike's comms are excellent and this deal couldn't have been smoother (and easier) . Highly recommended! Deal with in confidence... Thanks Mike and here's to the next one! 👍😊 Cheers Nik

+1 What a fantastic, courageous and inspiring project @Cat Burrito! Sincere 👏👏👏 to all involved. As @Wotcher2 said so eloquently, your film is a beautiful testament to the fierce love of the music we have when growing up, which inspired us to start playing instruments and starting our own bands. Really, loved it - thank you! And the other thing I really love about your film, is the connection it draws so strongly between goth music and folk music - that's really powerful! (I hope that makes sense btw..) Anyway, thanks for sharing.. It's a really great piece of work! 👍😊

Great story @northstreet - and one many of us on here can relate to.... My golden jubilee will be next year and now you've mentioned it, it's made me think about how I'd like to celebrate it...?? 🤔 Meanwhile, whilst pondering that, I just wanted to comment on the three musicians you've mentioned as your inspiration, Macca, Entwistle and Stevie Wonder - what an incredible trio they are...! Personally, I love Macca and Entwistle's bass playing and they rightly get a lot of praise (and someimes flak) for it.. But in some ways, I have even more admiration for Stevie Wonder, who IMHO, is one of the best bass players, and best bassline composers, of the last 50+ years or so.... His run of albums in the 1970s was just astonishing and are full of incredible basslines... Anyway, just to say I hope you enjoy your next few gigging years, and thanks for sharing your story !

Sounds great - looks 'cool as' too! 😎 Congrats!

Oh my goodness - I've only just heard this news about Nick. Like many others here , I had absolutely no idea about his battle with cancer, which yet again, has taken one of the good ones far too soon. I am truly shocked and saddened... Despite never buying and selling basses from each other, I had plenty of comms with Nick over the last 18 years or so, which were always a pleasure... He was a gentleman through and through and his kindness was only marginally secondary to his love of music and basses, I'd say. Sending my sincere condolences to his wife and family. RIP Nick - you are, already, very much missed! 😥

That's totally cool, Steve... We're all entitled to like what we like, play how we like and not like, etc, etc.. IMHO, we're lucky there's so much great music and great players to enjoy and be inspired by.
