Steeleye span, last night at the Apex in Bury st Edmunds. Numbers from the latest album except a couple of obvious ones. Seriously good level of musicianship with a few numbers really venturing into Prog-Rock territory. Not sure I heard one bar of music with 4 or 8 beats in it😆. Some very complicated structures going on. Maddy Prior is now 78 but doesn't sound any different from 50 years ago and the five part harmonies were perfect and excellent bass playing from Roger Carey. All in all, a very good gig.

Hi Rich, you still looking? If it's the same size as the CV Jazz one, I can post it off to you.

Recently joined a band (second rehearsal tomorrow) and it's looking like they might want to take on a few pub gigs to just hone the set and performance so,.. Bought a pub cheapy for the usual reasons. I picked up a Classic Vibe Jazz 5 locally. The guy had bought it 6 months previous so I wasn't expecting much with him moving it on that quickly but it still had all the plastic on it. I've also got the original packaging with his name and address on. It stands me in £175 + new strings. Wow, that neck and fret board. Frets perfectly finished, no sharp edges, love the gloss feel, in fact, it reminds me of the 5 string Elite I sold here a couple of years ago. Great sound through my Shuttle 6.0. Plays like a dream with the LaBella low tension flats on. The only down side is, it's on the heavy side but as their set list appears to be just 20 numbers, I won't be standing on a stage for 3 hours. I think these things are only about £300 or so new. Can't believe it for the money.

This really doesn't sound like a band I'd want to be in with all this going on. If people can't be up front with each other, it's a non starter.

Live in L.A. by the Rippingtons. Kim Stone on bass. Fabulous playing.

However, according t'tinternet, he plays guitar, keyboards and drums. Hmmm🤔

Rory bought my EBS session and ended up waiting over two weeks for the Xpress 48Hr delivery. A very nice, and very patient chap. Great comms, fast payment. Perfect BCer.

I was in a party/ function band in the 90s for about eight years. We had quite a few Police numbers under our belt and one night the vocalist, during introductions shouted ..and on bass, Spam. And so, I became Spam.

Me too, both parcels had unbreakable Gorilla tape handles that wrap right round a couple of times. I even write "Handle" on the handle😅

Well, if anyone on here happens to come across this bass at a gig, can you have a peek at the backline to see if they're also using my missing EBS combo. Thanks

We lived in France for 17 years and never had a problem with La Poste. Great compared to the cowboys we have to use here. I guess that's a geographical issue though. We were in the Limousin, an agricole heavy region so probably far less problems than in the big cities. Our french postie used to fetch and drop off medical prescriptions, collect an elderly neighbour's shopping and even stopped and changed a wheel for my wife.

P.bass now delivered and apparently in one piece. Buyer happy. That's the important bit. Now on hold to Royal mail to see if they can confirm the combo is actually where they say it is (and has been for 10 days) No doubt I'll be cut off before they answer.

I sold a P bass to Adrian. Very prompt payment and when things went absolutely pear shaped courtesy of Parcelforce, he was most understanding and patient whilst I sorted things out. Nice friendly BCer.
