  1. Pretty much anything by Robbie Williams, but especially "Angels" Most REM stuff Most Alannis Morrisette stuff Another shout for "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes
  2. It's impossible to get cover against banjo or accordion players, though.
  3. Then walk in and say "I'd leave that for ten minutes"
  4. I can't give any advice as to the best place for selling gear (though I have bought an item on Basschat with no problems), but I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis and would like to wish you the best.
  5. Sam x is a great name for a band. 😁
  6. I wonder if that did actually come from Lucy Worsley. 😆 Viz do actually print genuine letters from readers. I know someone who's had a few printed.
  7. One of the shops local to me, Matchetts, is actually quite competitive with the other online retailers when it comes to price (they do have online shopping too, which can be handy for click and collect). but they do offer a lot of other services too. They have instructional sessions, where you can book in and they will show you basic set-up techniques, for example; how to change strings, tune up, check the action and so on. They had a guy in from D'Addario a while back to demonstrate the new Xpand pedal board. I got a free t-shirt and won a tuning pedal. I had a guitar lesson last week and my tutor had bought a new PRS guitar and asked if I wanted to try it. I gave him my Ibanez and he was raving about the set up on it. I'd done nothing to the set-up; that was all down to the guys in the shop. He liked it so much that he wants to borrow it to make some videos for his business social media accounts.
  8. 😁Deep Purple's guitarist, Simon McBride lived at the bottom of my street. I don’t think I ever met him as he's about 5 years younger than me, but I do remember when he won the Young Guitarist of the Year competition. Does that count?
  9. I think I've seen James Hetfield use one for songs where he switches between electric and acoustic.
  10. A new branch of HMV? You really must think it's still 1987. 😄
  11. That's very Diane and Rent Boy in "Trainspotting" 😄
  12. Could end up looking a right tit... or was it the left one?
  13. I've just had a look on Lyrechat.co.uk and they say that 10 stringed lyres are an abomination; that 8 strings are more than enough.
  14. Welcome Rolf. Those are two lovely looking basses.
  15. Leave the chip on your bass and not on your shoulder.
  16. Looks like your trussrods could use a spot of adjustment...
  17. Could you use the ladle to play some sort of slap bass style?
  18. I don't think I'd fancy being in a functions/wedding band. Session musician I might be able to do. If I were to be a pro it would have to be in an originals band.
  19. That's not low-slung. Come on man, get it down round your knees a la Simon Gallup or Peter Hook! 😄
  20. The London Bar. We were in it about 18 years ago. There was a band playing and in the local accent, they sang Moostahng Sallee. It's a cracking bar, though. https://maps.app.goo.gl/6SozxDXmXbDNGrti6
