Arc... #31? Le Noise.. #14? LOL Nice to see a bit of daylight between Trans and the bottom of the list. I really like that record. Old Ways has Misfits on it. For that reason it should be above the likes of Storytone and A Letter Home, etc.

The wonderful Michael Marra.

Aye, Bassdoc.

If I felt that way, I would be covert too.

He's going to have to go some to reach these dizzy heights once more:

I've said too much 😄

"You're so... wait - who are you again?"

But... what about songs about specific bass players?

Oooh... yes, I think you're right. She deffo wrote a tune about him but I can't remember what it is...!

The Paul Carrack / How Long thread, (a song about how the bass player has been tomming around with another band) got me thinking... What other songs are about specific bass players? (Not generic bass players. That's boring.) I can think of: You Make Loving Fun - Fleetwood Mac How Do You Sleep? - John Lennon Clyde - JJ Cale Blue Murder - Alan Hull Any others?

I've got a loan of a pal's '75 at the moment, and it's absolutely lush. It's hard to describe - the body feels alive when you play it. Here's a little demo I made which doesn't really convey that feeling, but... y'know.

I suspect it's comments like the below that get people's backs up a little bit.

This is the best one I've seen in ages.

Honestly, you're overthinking it. People are sharing their opinions of a thing - it's no more complicated than that.

Yeah. my thoughts too. It’s a bit Alan Partridge in places. (.And I have to confess the Jacob Collier vocal comp guy made me laugh out loud.)

It’s about 4m23s too long, but apart from that I didn’t mind it.

I’m being deadly serious - how’s it a potential bargain? It’s a perfectly standard auction...? I’m honestly not being cantankerous - this is literally how auctions work.

I guess I'm just missing a point somewhere 😄

If you’re interested in more, eBay’s full of ‘em....

I get that, but this is literally a link to an eBay auction with no comment. Or am I missing something...?

I suspect John Deacon has indulged in far more rock and roll excess than his image suggests.

Quite..

What’s the purpose of this thread, BTW? Appreciate there doesn’t have to be one, but just curious in case I’m missing a point somewhere....
