...'cos it sure as hell depressed me. Someone posted this photo on my home village's FB group of a local band from back in the day. 'Hellooooooo' says I - there can't have been many custom colour P's in the UK - never mind our little part of the North East - back then. Intrigued, I went on the hunt and tracked down the bass player's step-son, who still lives in the area along with the man himself. I asked the step-son what happened to the bass. "Yeah, it was a sort of pastel turquoise pale blue finish. He sold it about ten years ago for pennies (£150 if my memory serves me well)." *sigh*

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest they might be available from other vendors.

FWIW I bought a bass off them a while ago, and they were spot-on.

I feel duty-bound to point out that the 'A' tuner on that is a modern replacement. It's still lovely, though.

Don't be. I'm quite confident they all signed it off, and made a chunk of cash.

Yeah, let's stop the fish puns. I hate fish anyway, and if we carry on dorsal fin-ish me off.

I’d argue it’s a bit of a hook on the the JJC version.

I’m desperately, desperately hurt.

Are you suggesting you’re a professional musician because you don’t have string noise?

That’s commendable. I’m sure your audiences appreciate the lack of string noise.

I bet you iron your jeans, too.

I suspect your tolerance of string noise is significantly lower than most.

Something from one of my band's Christmas do's last week. My ol' P sounding lovely, I reckon.

OK.

No need to apologise, 'cos at no point have I said otherwise.

Presumably we're talking about people who sit in their bedrooms and make solo videos for YouTube.

Nope, never happened.

"My muting technique isn't very good, so I'm going to use flats." said no-one. Ever.

Werewolves of London?

Caught a bit of that. Canny band.

It’s also an adjective.

Who does he think he is? Alex Lifeson?

Calm down. I’m just suggesting binning a bit of the clutter would be a massive immediate improvement, not that he implements a whole new commerce platform.

...but it could be so much better with a few simple changes.

...the emails that link out to the self-same flaky website we're discussing?
