    He was probably just trying to keep in tune with her vocals. Never heard a live performance of hers where her pitching wasn't bloody awful. You'd think somebody with a half octave range would be able to keep those six notes in some semblance of tune.

    Not the greatest of photos, but here are my Zon Legacy basses (one fretted, one fretless) That I used to own a while ago.

    There are few things worse than being given the willies in your f hole.

    I didn't know that Pino was in a band with Bingo from The Banana Splits.

    I'm pretty sure Eubassix has that exact bass for sale on Ebay at the moment.

    I'd get a lot more practicing done if I wasn't too busy upping my auntie.

    I try to practice at least once every five years, even if I don't need it.

    Having owned two Rickenbacker basses in the past I can confidently state that the little sticker is by far the highest quality part of the instrument & is the only thing that stops them falling apart completely.

    Not a fan of milky eyes, I prefer mine black.

    Totally understand this, can't stand him or his godawful band. If I want to watch a bunch of toothless, semi-naked gibbering smackheads making c**ts of themselves I'll just go into Cardiff city centre.

    It's only my resentment & hatred that lets me know I'm still alive. Without it I simply cease to exist.

    This is why I prefer not to have friends.

    The only time I've had anything approaching a musical collaboration with my dad was when I used some of his ashes in an old 35mm film canister as a shaker. He never had a sense of rhythm when he was alive but I gave him one after he died. 😂

    Ah, you mean "pretty much every bass player ever"...

    Sunburst Finishes, especially cherry sunburst & shitburst (I think the correct term is tobacco sunburst) Oil finishes Open Pore finishes Relic'd finishes Pearl scratchplates Basses that don't have a passive tone control Looper pedals, especially when used by acoustic guitarists at open mic evenings Keyboard players - never worked with one that wasn't a complete & utter c**t

    Jimmy Haslip was using one of these in Ronnie Scott's last night - best live bass sound I've ever heard.

    I read that as "Spector Frank Bruno Signature Bass"

    Saw Mike in Ronnie Scott's on Monday with Jimmy Haslip on bass & Dennis Chambers on drums. awesome show.

    Just heard this from his grandson Toby. Sad news.

    They're just reflections. There are a few very fine playing marks that would buff out with T-Cut, but nothing I would call a scratch or buckle rash. Never had any problems with the tone control, it just needed rotating a bit to clean the wiper. I haven't played the bass for a while as I sold my amp, I'll give the tone control a squirt of switch cleaner to be on the safe side.

    Bacchus Craft Series STD-JB4 (MIJ) Jazz Bass for sale. I bought this bass from Shepster8316 on here in November 2021. It's a superb bass, but I bought it to try & get back into my playing & it just hasn't happened so I've decided to move it on. Superb quality Japanese built bass - ash body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard with pearloid binding & block inlays. (This particular model was only made for three years between 2014-2017) Volume, pickup pan, passive tone & switchable Aguilar OP2 active preamp with bass & treble controls. The bass is in excellent condition & comes with a well used but functional Warwick gig bag. I'm asking for what I paid for it, which is £450 including postage in the UK. I would prefer the bass to be collected in person & cash paid, but I will post if need be. If posted I would require payment by bank transfer. No PayPal please. Just one word of warning - the only shipping materials I have aren't that great, it's just a load of cardboard that a recently purchased Strat turned up in. The Strat got here unscathed but it's not a proper guitar shipping box, so please be aware of this if you want it posted. I'll pack it as well as I possibly can with the materials I have. Here's a link to Shepster's original ad, which has a video of the bass & some more photos:

    Sad news. One of the very best.
