Here I go through my basses and my pedalboard…

I’ve no idea about my band members views on political, religious or gender issues. Then again, they all seem to be a fairly educated, intelligent bunch. So if they came out with something offensive to me - I’d have to ask if it was a difference of opinion or if they were loony Roundabout painters… If someone is racist or bigoted - I call them out and then remove them from my life. So I’d either sack them from the band - or quit.

I disagreed with a decision to slow a song down to half speed. Said the other two were “mad if they saw that as an improvement of any sort”. Was uninvited to rehearsal that week. Then came the “we’re not sure you’re the right fit for this project, no reflection on your playing etc” - so I was really mature about it as a 40 year old bloke with approximately 30 years playing experience. Told them they’d wasted my time, and they could f*** off… And blocked them on all platforms. Because I’m a child. Incidentally heard a snippet of one of their recordings. Boring turd of a track so…

Nah. I’ve found the setting I like and can’t be bothered changing about. Creatures of habit.

Yeah… I’ve got my 2 lookalikes…they’ll do for me. I did have an RBV about 10 years ago - was ace.

That looks ace to me. 1. fretted or fretless…never both. 2. £14k? Feff…no. I reckon you could do something like that for about £300 in bits.

Fender Roscoe Beck 4 strings. I’d have one in a heartbeat

Looks like you did a great job

I’d make that natural, great grainy ash. maybe an “aged” tint - but not that awful orange stuff.

Bought a BB bass from Gerry. Great experience. Thank you mate x

After some fettlement… yup. Very happy to have an 1100s back in the fold. Wish I could remember where my old sunburst one went.

See - I adore the Ampeg Scrolls. never been in the same room as one though

Diamond Eyes and Gore are still on constant rotation for me - White Pony remains one of my all time favourite albums. I got into them when Around The Fur came out. going to see them in Manchester…not sure who’s on guitar though as Mr Carpenter won’t fly anymore.

Ah balls. Missed it again. i had some stuff roughed out but I’ve basically been away for most of the month. some great stuff here - I’ll join in the voting x

When the building work is done - we’ll talk x

What a beautiful thing

That Wal will be mine at some point mate. And the Namm Ray….and the Bravewood 😜

@kodiakblairwill know everything

I’m still waiting for a knock on the door from Nicky Campbell (he’s a knob BTW) or Davina McCall… ”you didn’t know it, but here’s your spare son”

Me between 1998-2008 was glorious. In all honesty i much prefer my life now, but some of the stuff i did. That was one of the less fun episodes.

Was with a girl of questionable morals who bedded the singer in my band. So I broke the singers nose. I think that was a pretty acrimonious split. I dumped her too. Then shagged her best mate. seemed appropriate at the time.

YET

Oh I bet there are more than that. like… I don’t have a bass guitar problem. there. I just lied to you.
