Once things are back to normal I'll be having a clear-out of stuff I imply can't see me using again, no point having it cluttering up the place there are maybe 2 instruments I'd like to add 1 is a 5 string, the other is a custom made uke. Selling the other stuff will help pay for the new stuff.

@Richard RI had it patiently explained to me, I'm still no much wiser🙁

They let you in then. May I recommend Basschat Cats

Got as far as thinking about learning the bass line to Senor. Then reality kicks in and I have to walk the dogs, fill the bird feeders, clean out and lay the fire, make dinner, pay the bills sort, out the tax........

Managed abstain in 2020 2021 possibilities include a 5 string and a custom made Frankenuke however any additions will be offset by selling stuff.

Ok, I could have phrased that better. She and her pal do produce some lovely stuff though, from paintings to Christmas decorations and T-shirts.

Lovely looking project. My Daughter-in-law is very 'arty' and does pyrography if you want the ram redone to a very high standard.

Alright I'm convinced, 5er sometime in the new year after I've paid for a new bathroom and sold some of my ukes/guitars.

This thread has come at an opportune time for me, I've been flirting with the idea of a 5 for a while but had kind of talked myself out of it until I was listening to a couple of tracks that ran down to the B, then I went into the local music shop for the first time in months where they had a Cort fiver. Haven't bitten yet so I'll make it through 2020 GAS free but no promises for 2021. I'm ancient, a relative newb and doubt if I'll ever gig, so I don't need a 5er, it'd just be nice to play with.............Now where's that link to the Ibanez site....

Erindors has got me one for Xmas, arrived yesterday. Have to say I'm very impressed so far, means I don't have to isolate myself when noodling. More than adequate for someone at my level of musical ineptitude.

Both my electric basses are Ibanez, newest one is away being de-fretted. Having thoughts about adding a 5 string, the idea of the low B is beginning to appeal. No matter how many times I browse the web I keep coming back the SR.

No particular artist/genre, I either like a piece or I don't , I try to give something new about a minute and a half, sometimes more if it sounds like it might develop into something interesting. I can usually predict how the music will progress sometimes (not often) I'll be pleasantly surprised, occasionally it just sounds like the composer is trying to be too clever and it just sounds messy and contrived and deserves smacked round the ear with a blunt instrument. In terms of bands I prefer a varied back catalogue over the years Lindisfarne, ELO and Eagles stand out, but even then there's quite often maybe only one or two tracks I'd want to listen to repeatedly.

Glad to hear you're well on the mend.

Really doesn't surprise me the JIT model of supply chain management was always just a clusterflip away. Printers are like hobby horse sh#t.

Stumbled across Peat and Diesel, great fun, if a bit erm, unusual and probably in need of subtitles. Just bear with the beginning bit
