I'm afraid it can't... Sandberg insist on a lifetime all-owner contract that stipulates that not only must their basses not be used to play any of the millions of sub-genres of metal, but they can't be used on any bill where metal is being played, whether live or recorded.

I like my Sandberg Bassic... Cheap and works for everything from slap to dub!

Monster (What's That Coming Over The Hill?) - The Automatic

Let's Start The Dance - Hamilton Bohannon

Automatic Schmuck - the Hives (Schmuck = German for jewellery)

Shouty blokes!

Peruke Mutants - Demented Are Go! (I know it's very slightly late, but I'll bet we haven't had Demented Are Go before!)

Wig - Fontaines DC

Some Canadian psychedelia...

What about this? None more black! (At least the black bits are) Loving my ACG ...

Gamm-on everybody! - Eddie Cochran (and Sid)

(BSA A70) Lightning Field - Sneaker Pimps

Rehearsal in the local church (amazing they let us, none of us attend!) with funky blues band last night... After our chat with guitarman two weeks ago about not playing ceaselessly and without end, and perhaps putting some space in, and perhaps listening to the rest of us (it's only bass and drums ffs!), and maybe playing stuff that actually fitted with what we were doing it appears that the penny may have dropped a bit! He's actually listened to the Meters and Slave and Mother's Finest and Sly Stone stuff I sent him and throttled it right back with the aimless pentatonic noodling. Now we're sounding far more coherent as a band, and may have recruited a sax player (we can't find a vocalist!)...

Space Cowboy - Jonzun Crew

Bowie - Paul Weller

An ambient groove is taking shape...

Mine's on the left fretting hand too, and has no impact at all on playing (might if you like to hook your thumb over to fret stuff!). And it looks sort of rock'n'roll, wot with the blackness and straps!

Wake me up before you Glasgow - Wham

KY Tunstall...

I recently had a case of trigger thumb and seem to have sorted it out with one of THESE They allegedly work for arthritis too - the physio I saw said it was probably the best option (not necessarily that one, there's loads of similar ones!)

Raid - Boo Yaa Tribe

Bedtime - Weeds

Looks like it works!!!

Drop The Bomb - Trouble Funk

Shine-o-Mite - Bootsy's Rubber Band
