Is that a Sunn Beta clone? Recognise the layout from when I had a Sunn Beta combo in the early 80s.

Currently there is a Lutheran on my rack, but I'm pretty sure he's close to converting.

They actually had Greg's Alembic 8 string for sale in Andy's in Denmark St. many years ago. It was a beast!

Beelzebub - Bill Bruford.

I've yet to hear an octave pedal used on bass that I didn't think sounded bloody awful. I have a load of Eventide pedals that I use on keyboards & guitar & even the octaver on the Pitchfactor sounds bloody awful to me. Same with the ones built into amps. I loved my old Ashdown ABM combo but the sub octave thing was utter shite to my ears.

Don't Do Me Like That - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

That's a long time to wait to get a bona.

I prefer Branston Baked Beans to any other make, I've used them exclusively for years.

This is my only reason for doing anything musically. The reason why I stopped gigging was that I got absolutely nothing out of it. I'm not an "entertainer" by nature & have absolutely no desire to be one. I'm at my happiest when I'm just working on my own in my little music room seeing what I come up with. I enjoy the process far more than the end product.

Over the years I've come to realise that solos in live performances are largely aimed at the non-musicians in the audience, who can just enjoy it for what it is & not indulge in an orgy of chin-stroking & dissection over every note/phrase/nuance.

I love a good solo. Very much depends on who's doing it though - Trilock Gurtu drum/percussion solo, yes please. Tommy Lee drum solo, no thanks. 🙂 Same with other instruments - there are great solos & there are duffers trying to wing it & failing miserably.

Unfortunate acronym... 🙂

Bought a beautiful Bacchus bass from Paul. Excellent to deal with, very smooth transaction from start to finish. Bass arrived very well packaged & beautifully set up. Many thanks!

Truck Driver Divorce - Frank Zappa

Bloody Hell Matt, that's a stunner! 😍

Honeysuckle Rose - Fats Waller

Human Fly - The Cramps

Summerland - Kings X

I don't use a tuner at all. 😂

Sweet.

I've gone through brief periods of using various pedals but I invariably go back to not using them pretty quickly. I'm not even that interested in amps if I'm honest, so long as I can hear myself I don't really care what it is.

Gasoline Alley Bred - The Hollies

Funky Moped - Jasper Carrott

Mood Indigo - Duke Ellington.

The Golden Calf - Prefab Sprout
