  1. Loving 90-35 gauge, nothing lost in tone and so easy to play

      35 - 90's make Rick 4003's so much easier to play & set up IMO. 

      Only use them on my Rick but what a difference.

  3. The famous 'This England' speech from Shakespeare's Richard II is much beloved by demented flagwavers:

      "This precious stone set in the silver sea,
      Which serves it in the office of a wall,
      Or as a moat defensive to a house,
      Against the envy of less happier lands,
      This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, 
      This England
    ."

    How many of them know that the speech continues thus:

      "This dear dear land is now leased out
      Like to a tenement or pelting farm:
      England, bound in with the triumphant sea
      Is now bound in with shame,
      With inky blots and rotten parchment bonds:
      That England, that was wont to conquer others,
      Hath made a shameful conquest of itself
    ."

    Shakespeare knew.

      "Demented flagwavers", bit of tarring all with one brush?

      My 1st bass was a £10 used 60's Futurama by Hagstrom. I eventually put it in a skip, it was a hideous piece of unplayable crap. There's one on FeeBay at £800.

  6. Is it just me or are secondhand basses getting more expensive recently? 

    1. karlfer

      Erm, I didn't, I withdrew it due to lack of interest. I'm about to do the same with the Road Worn Jazz, also about £100 less than most get put out at. Think I'd have more success with daft high prices 😂 ?

      No Luke it's not just you. Ebay in particular is full of lunatics, with things like a Precion that was £1000 new 5 years ago up at £1500.

      But even away from that, there are some high asks out there. And with no doubt another Fender rise Jan/Feb................

  10. Excellent start to the kebabing weekend, got some pussie as well.

    Very tasty chicken burger meal inc. chips and a drink for less than three and a half earth pounds. 

    By default as it was the first takeaway we came across trying to escape Bolton, lost as we always are trying to get out of Bolton

    as they were close to closing and it was all they had left. Would defo go for this again.

    This little fella was in the quiet bar round the corner on his stool as he usually is keeping an eye on proceedings.
