    So. The Auditions for the 602 are over, there is no 602 any more. this thread makes me howl when I relive the petty nonsense involved in getting a band together… Anyhow, welcome to Flying Oceans. 3/4 of The 602 with Andy on guitar. Lead single “Circles” from the “November sessions” which actually turned into the “End of January sessions” because all of us had covid at various stages. This is now on its way to Mastering guy. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oqNmmrVpKVNsQArYDyAIRG5PsGoaRgHR/view?usp=drivesdk

    All feels a bit regressive, I enjoyed the Getaway (I’ve said it so many times) as it felt they were getting somewhere - maturing gracefully. This stuff just sounds like some bored rich guys having a get together. surely there has to be something better on the album - I’ve said that the last 3 tracks. Sounds lazy - could’ve been really special.

    £495 guys. time to move it on

    Some guy who to be fair had decent beats and feel - but sang out of tune with a chipmunk type effect on. It was painful

    They put on a great show - I wish I’d seen them last time as “singles” is my go to Album… but… I loved it - and being with my eldest daughter, brother and best mate - we had such a laugh, the first 3 blokes who held her took her to a proper gig (she’s been to stuff I’ve done and a tribute festival) was brilliant.

    He was on it last night, was all over the show - he and the drummer were and absolute machine… the support act was hilariously bad…
  7. AndyTravis
    Love it. meant to sell things…love that pink though 🤣

    They were great - missed a few of my favourites off the set list, but Samuel T Herring is one hell of a performer.

    Rescued from a local studio… The headstock had met an accident. The body though was unscathed. I bought it from the original owner as I’ve always fancied one…then set about buying a really decent neck to make it a solid bass again. Brand new Roasted Maple Fender, which feels amazing and is snappy as hell and skinny…I then realised the boffins at fender had made the headstock holes too small for the original fender tuners. So I bought a set of Hipshot licensed 1/2” diameter machine-heads which are ace. the body itself is a satin black - sometimes looks Smokey grey and then totally black…has some shinier areas - suppose that’s the nature of matte black. plays well/sounds great - needs a last fettle on the nut - i can’t find my nut files and don’t want to bodge - but with commitments to family/house - can’t get to local luthier for weeks. The supplied nut was only guide grooved and I have E/A just about right but nothing slim enough for D/G so white it’s playable it could just be inched better. This is the Mk2 version and has rotary selector/volume/volume/tone and an edge socket. The selector has 4 positions which mix all of the coils in various combinations 2 warmer/vintage and 2 bright - slappers delight. you can then blend/vary as you wish. high mass fender bridge and a decent weight - about 9lbs. Fender bag included. Original neck and tuners included. The neck is split across the headstock and I’ve glued and clamped it but it’s done - in all fairness. Shipping can happen in UK. £25 uninsured/more if insured. Can do a hiscox case for shipping which will change the end price. I’m not after trades - I’ve got a full rack and full cases. So need to slim down the stuff. I’d be keeping it, but about 2 days after bringing it home, I bought my old Musicman Bongo back which does the HH thing wonderfully and a couple of J types I have sentimental connections with. So - a massively tweaked modern classic. I’m in Manchester and collection (evenings and weekends) possible… Thanks Andy

    I’ve been working on it - can manage it much more since that video. I don’t even slap that much in the band 😂
  11. AndyTravis
    This was for sale at guitar guitar a while ago 🤦🏻
  12. AndyTravis
    BFR Neptune Blue?
  13. AndyTravis
    Yeah - like a Matt/stealth so can look very grey or black as night. Still need to tweak the nut - Can’t find the nut files. In all honesty, it’s a winner with this neck - but the setting I really like on it is something the Bongo does and I have a sentimental link to that bass…in all likelihood this will go up for sale.
  14. AndyTravis
    So this is unofficially on hold for a buyer. I’ve been kind enough to hold onto it for him. It’s getting on in time a bit…hence the fact I’ve not bumped it.

    @drTStingray love that sabre
  16. AndyTravis
    Good lord that’s cool

    Must say my Ella impressed me this weekend. Spent a few hours a day playing…then showed me that she’s playing something from the Hamilton soundtrack which she’s figuring out by ear and an app she’s found. 😊

    Oooh frigg.want
  19. AndyTravis
    @petecarltoni put a wanted ad up on some Facebook pages. Every comment was “why” Or “toilet seat bass” etc. idiotic.
  20. AndyTravis
    Just played mine for 30 mins - lovely thing - still want to do some tweaks. must admit - that neck humbucker and 24 frets…right in the way 🙄 I have to work around it
  21. AndyTravis
    There’s a used blue one kicking about locally. been on the edge of temptation a few times
  22. AndyTravis
    That 63 p is winking at me
  23. AndyTravis
    Ah. Not to be eh? What a shame.
  24. AndyTravis
    I actually realised I need to play more rather than talking about it all and buying everything. I think the band having a few weeks off has meant I’m not playing as much too. Hopefully that changes next week

    @Misdee did you play your bongo
