    Just worked out "Mr Blue Sky",  What a great bassline!

      Marvellous, well done.  I look forward to more pointless negativity from you about stuff you don't like.  Helps the forum glide along nicely.  🤪

      I'd just like to take a second to thank @prowla for his valuable contribution.  Anyone else gots some chips that need p!ssing on?  😂

    No more long scales - last two now sold - quite a catharsis! :)

      That does help a lot, but its more about the finger span for me - spot of arthritis makes my hands less mobile these days so not having to stretch out quite as far is a lot more comfy. :)

    Dog walks into a post office, says he wants to send a telegram.
    "OK" says the clerk, "what's the message?"
    The dog says, "Woof woof woof, woof woof woof woof woof, woof woof."
    Clerk says, "OK, but for the same price, you can add one more 'woof'".
    The dog frowns and replies, "But then it wouldn't make any sense."

      Reminds me of this one. 

      Remote Scottish village, general store cum post office, bell tinkles as the door opens. 

      'Mrs McDonald' says the postmaster 'We dinnae see you too often'.

      'Aye, well, Mr McDonald died.  I'd like to put a wee notice in the paper, what's the cheapest?' 

      '£5, what d'ye want to say?'

      'Mr McDonald died'

      'Feh £5 ye get 3 more words'

      'Mr McDonald died.  Volvo for sale'

    I am now a veteran here on BassChat. Does that just mean I'm old? 😉  😀

      Enjoy it while you can, Marc, as you still have something you can aspire to.  Once you have achieved the dizzy heights of Grandmaster there is nothing else ahead.  Just an incentive-free vacuum.  You can't be demoted so you might as well be grumpy and rude to everyone, like I am, without fear of repercussions.

    Just been made a Basschat Grand Master. I assume this means I get keys to the executive Basschat loo and my own personal parking space? No one need salute, happy to keep it informal.

    1. Paul S

      It also means there is nowhere left to go, nothing to aspire to.  This is as good as it gets.  I fear you may have peaked too early and will now degenerate into a life of watching day time television in your undergarments and eat stale cream buns.

    I bought my friend an elephant for his room.
    He said “thanks”
    I said “don’t mention it”

      Great band, always empty the tank.  I have tickets to see them in March with an orchestra!  Should be interesting.

    In the last few days I've tried to buy 2 EUBs, both from a well known retailer. Both of the items, although on their website, were already sold. Who knew it would be so difficult to spend money?

    Whilst cleaning my teeth this morning with an electric toothbrush I found I could do a passable facsimilie of 'Livin On A Prayer'.  I may have dribbled toothpasty spit down my front but consider it a small price to pay.

     

    That is all.

    1. Paul S

      Just be sure to get some bibs, too, in case of dribblage.

    D'Addario strings have clarified on Twitter that it is pronounced Duh-Dairy-Oh. Who knew?!

      Americans seem to struggle with pronouncing many European languages correctly.  English being at the forefront :)

    Somebody in my local classifieds is trying to track down the person he sold a bass to years ago because he regrets it and wants to buy it back. Tragic.

    1. Paul S

      Paul S

      I have lots of seller's remorse but especially for one bass - a Yamaha SB-35 - that I would most dearly love to buy back.  I pester the guy I sold it to on a annual basis and he started off being polite but just ignores me now :D

    Hi is it still available? thx

    1. Paul S

      Possibly.  It depends mainly upon what 'it' is and who you are asking - details missing at the moment.

    Always funny to see a bass you sold back up for sale at twice what you sold it for, and being described as a "bargain" 😂

    1. Paul S

      Paul S

      I saw one of my ex-basses up for sale on Reverb by the chap I sold it to at twice what I sold it for, along with my pictures in the advert 🤣

    Ok so where did I safely store those Entwistle PBXN Pickups I bought 3 years ago that I’ve been looking for, for over 2 weeks.

    Have you seen them?

      Probably easier to invest £30 in a new one.
