    Any ideas? I stumbled upon it online and quite liked it. I wondered if it was an Aria or similar but can’t find any details. Anyone have any ideas?

    Owned from new for around 12yrs, I bought this from Thomann and had it set up for Rockabilly. It definitely feels a step up from the entry level basses and I have used it live a lot. Most of its life has been more of feature in my living room though. The last couple of years I have been coming to terms with the fact that I need to sell it. Space is at a premium, it rarely gets used and I am of an age where the EUB seems the easier option. The specs are here Thomann link if anyone is interested. I added a pickup which has been useful - a David Gage Realist. People often call it a copper head. They’re industry standard and normally about £120 used. Mine is included with the bass at no extra cost to you. There is a tatty (by my high standards) gig bag and the strings are currently Gut-A-Like vintage ones Gut A Like strings You’ll see I added a few stickers. These should be fairly easy to remove. I’m happy to do it, or I can leave it. Equally I am happy to add more pictures. It’s currently lent against the wall in my place in Hungerford, where I am Sunday to Thursday evenings. Postage looks too hard to do so it would be a collection. I have gotten it in a Peugeot 107 before - not comfortably, so perhaps don’t bring the family if collecting!

    I’m a big fan of Boss pedals and have just re-done my board. I went a bit mad recently and have a fair few that are surplus to my requirements. All are boxed (initially the OC3 was listed as unboxed but I have since found the box) and only the super overdrive has Velcro on the bottom. I would grade these as at least 9/10 in terms of condition. Prices include UK postage. Boss Octave OC3 - £85 Boss Tuner TU3 - £70 Boss Super Chorus CH1 - £75 Boss Super Overdrive - £60 Boss Bass Overdrive - £80 I looked around online and believe these are priced to sell. Check my feedback thread and buy with confidence. PayPal or balance transfer preferred.

    These are great and I am only selling as I just upgraded to the BCB-90x. It’s set up with the daisy chain all in place. You just need to add your pedals and patch cables. Cut for six Boss sized pedals. Price includes UK postage. Check my feedback and buy with confidence. PayPal or bank transfer preferred.

    Just the delay pedal left now.

    I wish I could get my main band in other people's feeds! 😸 Weird coincidence. I'm sure someone who understands algorithms could explain it, but I sure can't!

    More of an audition than a rehearsal but whilst at Whitby Goth festival last November, I had a call from the singer of Siouxsie and the Banshees tribute “Painted Bird” saying that the bassist had left and the remaining three had all said I would be a great replacement. I was flattered. I said yes and tonight was my first rehearsal / audition. I took my Fender USA Jazz, for that Steve Severin vibe and my Blackstar U700 head. The built in chorus and overdrive immediately gets my sound in the right area. I have been so busy with real life that I went in feeling under rehearsed and I didn’t want to waste anybody’s time. We started with Metal Postcard and then launched into Happy House. I could tell they were happy. As the set wore on, it was obvious that I had put the work in. Nine songs in and I missed the timing on a section of Switch, but it was in the bank by then! I am officially the new member of the band… and I must be doing alright as I was presented with a band t-shirt too! My first show is Water Rats in March with Echoes of the Bunnymen.

    ah! I did search and it didn’t come up. I thought I remembered one.

    Yesterday, we returned to Mooncalf Studios in Wiltshire, for our penultimate session for album no. 3. Playing gothic original material, we usually record the drum tacks and keys on GarageBand, take them to the studio to upload and tidy up, and then add the guitars / bass / vocals. We uploaded the last three songs and recorded the bass and vocals. I used my Fender Jazz USA (2008) and my Squier Bass VI for the bass parts. I also got to use a Jerry Jones Sitar guitar that we had hired for the princely sum of one bottle of red wine. Oh, and I added a simple part on my David Bowie Stylophone. The sitar took a few runs. Mainly because I was writing the part whilst in the studio. The bass all went down in one take with no overdubs, across all three tracks. That doesn't always happen but it is nice when it does. I also did a few lead vocal lines, which went down pretty easily. We have three guitar parts and one of my vocal parts to do and the album is done. Anyhow, enough about me... who else has a recent studio session that they'd care to share?

    We regrouped at Bela Lugosi’s Shed for a final pre-production rehearsal, ahead of our studio session tomorrow. We have three songs left to finish the next album and I felt they were sufficiently whipped into shape. Bass aside, I was actually quite pleased with my vocals. It’s always been a challenge for me but I have pushed myself in recent years.

    Absolutely. I am normally more reserved with my views but got a bit carried away thinking about battles for the stereo in the Sixth Form block 35yrs ago. That is literally how little it meant! I always say, you put yourself out there and they either get you, or they don’t. I kind of had that one answered for me!

    The stage gear is normally my not working look, so I am happy to parade around the place looking like that most of the time. The mandocello is blocking my usual clothes so it is just the change in hat that is a little off brand. I very occasionally go for the long beanie, depending on mood.

    First show of 2026 and we played a micro brewery in Calne, Wiltshire. Super friendly staff and great little space. No real walk up (it was on an industrial estate) but we had 4 or 5 groups of people come especially to see us, which filled up the audience. The only low point was when I made a flippant joke about Red Hot Chilli Peppers (who, whilst not really being a fan, I certainly don’t have an issue with) and it transpired that everyone in the venue liked them! The bar man even put them on the stereo after our set! I never criticise other acts normally so I don’t know why I said it, but we soon clawed it back. No harm done. Afterwards, I was asked why I had six pedals when I only have two feet. A comment that I reflected heavily upon, whilst driving home in my manual car! We played well and I was pleased we pulled as many as we did. A good night.

    Three hours of rehearsal yesterday to work up an acoustic set for tonight and finish writing the latest album. The acoustic stuff always sounds good, although yesterday sounded slightly under rehearsed (a good sign ahead of a show). I dug out my P-bass and we officially finished writing our third album. On a personal note, I was particularly pleased with my vocal last night as it has always been my most challenging area and I have really worked hard on building my confidence and voice.
