Sold Hugh a Mono strap. Transaction was flawless - Hugh is clearly a very nice man, and super easy to deal with. Many thanks Hugh!

Sold Tom my Little Mark 3. In my 10 years+ on Basschat, it's been harder to finder a nicer chap to deal with. We've done a few deals over the years, and they've always been an absolute pleasure. Tom was my first Basschat classifieds sale, and so it's quite fitting that he's one of my (maybe even the) last one I'm doing. I'll check back in, though - sure Tom's FB page will be at least 20 pages by then! 😆

Sold Paul a Barefaced cab. Really super chap to deal with - we did the transaction on trust, a proper Basschat deal! Instant payment, great comms throughout. Really glad you're happy, Paul.....enjoy with my best wishes.

+1 to the OP. I'm at that very point now!

The whole sketch....... and a fave of mine -

Probably cheaper (and quicker) from Rickysounds - http://www.rickysounds.co.uk/Control-Knobs.html Shame this didn't come up in the Summer - I sold a set to replace mine with the vintage style!

Start of my week off yesterday, I decided to have a late breakfast and immerse myself in the latest mind-numbing debate, and tune into Jeremy Vine on Channel Five. Usual array of columnists and Z-listers, alongside Bruce Foxton and the singer out of 'From The Jam'! They performed a slightly strained (IMHO) version of 'Smithers-Jones' at the end alongside a Keyboard player..... It's available on the C5 catch-up if anyone wants to watch. TBH, they BF didn't have a lot to say, the other chap a bit more, although I was not in agreement with any of it! 😆

Good call! I blame the 'phone.....😮

On the plus side, it'll soon be time for the Hootenanny! Ruby Tuner and KT Tunstall....again......probably..... Get to see that very annoying bloke walking around with his clock face. Nearly a typo.....!😉

It's a bit, well, boring! Typical modern production....deep, dark sludgy drum sounds (my real 21st century gripe). Whole thing just lacks definition and power. Roger's voice? It's certainly changed a bit......I keep wanting to clear my throat listening to him now! For me, the Who were a classic 'band'. Each quarter added something special....other outfits can change members, often successfully, but lose any of the Who, and it just misses that vital ingredient and spark. Guess it's not helped by the fact that, they've lost one of the rhythm sections of all time. Where do you go from there? The current bass/drums is just adequate. Sounds....sorry, but very dull. Neither exciting playing nor a crushing tone....both things which I love about the Who of old. Love their records with Keith (although Who Are You has got a few turkeys, probably their weakest to that point). Fair play for them for doing new material (and I think Roger always comes across as a really nice guy)....but what are you going to pick? Keith-era anything, or this?
