Good shout @Maude! I like it - always a good thing when someone's actually got something to say about the state of the world they see around them.. I like those 80s chorus/Eventide Harmonizer guitar chords too.. The video's kind of interesting... it's kind of a Burl Ives/Thomas The Tank Engine/SIMs mash-up... 😁

Hi Ped, Marvellous! 2 lots ordered.. 👍 Cheers Nik

That's a great sounding bass in the video btw... Not my particular sound, but for a certain kind of music, really great.

🤔 There - fixed that for you! 😉 😁

Good shout for Dennis Chambers 👍

Oh, good call for Billy Cobham - I love his playing!

First it'd be Sheila E. Then I guess it'd be Stewart Copeland, Clem Burke, Woody Woodmansey, Paul Thompson, Michael Shrieve (really showing my age here). Probably should say that I've had the pleasure of working with some great drummers over the years, the most notable of whom was a guy called Robbie France and he was phenomenonal! Made me a better musician.. And of course, @Dad3353 😁

I had one of these for a while about 5 years ago.. It was a great sounding bass and the guys in my rock band at the time loved the sound of it, as did I. They are definitely head-turners as basses go and I got a lot of comments when I gigged mine. Yours looks like a great example @Alan Rider and great story about Horace Panter too... Best of luck with getting it sorted out and getting on the Shergold FB forum!

Sounds like a good idea Jack... I share your doubts too @Silvia Bluejay but maybe the world will turn a little more favourably for us this year... 🤞

Yep.. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it's a popular brew in my house!

It's definitely worth setting a provisional date for this and exploring whether or not the venue would / could be available...

That's absolutely stunning! Congrats 👍😊

Great! 👍 We can have Basschat branded masks, and everything.. 😁

This is the bass I'll never sell because I absolutely love the way it plays and sounds, and musicians who I work with and respect, say I play better on it than any of my other basses.. It's a passive 1984 BC Rich Eagle. It can been in the two pictures below.. Thanks to Andy for modelling it so well for me at the 2019 South East Bass Bash.

Shall we go for it this year then? Say October. Just a thought.. 😊

Just watched some of those vids - great stuff, thank you! 👍 He's a really cool dude...

Thanks Jack - will check those out! There are so many excellent Bowie videos on YouTube these days that, for fans like me, it's been so interesting to get an insight into how some of his albums were made. But more generally, it's so cool to hear from those Producers who were there when some of those great, classic albums were made. As well as enabling the artists they produced to be the best they could be, people like Martin and Visconti were very talented musicians in their own right!

Such a cool insight into the artistic process... Needs to be watched in conjunction with this though to keep things in perspective:

Not sure if this helpful or not, but thought I'd share it just in case... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-55752541
