    Without hijacking too much - is there a noticeable difference in quality between the US built and the Japanese EX models? The latter I’ve seen tend to be at least £200 cheaper.

    There’s been a small delay in getting it to me, but I’ll happily write my thoughts when I get my grubby mits on it!

    I never win things. That’s what I said to myself when I missed out on a bass competition a few months back. Anyway, I decided to go in for that Yamaha and… well, I won it!!! Is it your old bass, Andy? I’ve never played a Yamaha before so I’m psyched about this one arriving.

    It'd be lovely to make it this year. Praying I'm not struck down by naughty Norovirus again

    That’s a beauty. I live in Brighton and had my eye on this one, though very much window shopping. Have fun!

    The Holy Bible is a great album and nothing like their other stuff. If you like raw, angry with great riffs, you might enjoy.

    Teen Town. First song that came to my head.

    That faux folk sound around the time Lumineers were ho-heying and stomping their feet. Home by Edward Sharpe and the magnetic zeroes, anything Mumfordy. I’ve built up tolerance for adjacent stuff over the years but I still can’t handle that stuff.

    I’m currently learning to play too - and enjoying it for the most part! Got most of the basic open chords down but it takes me about a minute to switch between them 😅 It is nice to try barring in lots of positions and finding magical 7 chords. I’m a big fan of arpeggios with the 9th added. The Police guitarist uses this quite a bit, and it doesn’t feel like much of a finger stretch when coming from playing bass for years. Good luck with your journey!

    I take them all off before restringing so I can give the fretboard a good clean.

    Peavey T40 - I’ve heard they’re heavy basses? I’m not a big enough guy to be encumbered with that weight on my shoulder. Gibson Grabber - prohibitively expensive and they look like solid chonks too. But they just have that allure. They look great.

    Another ‘unfortunately’… had a rough night with our sick baby and I’ve woken up feeling awful today. So I think I better keep away from the kind basschat folk. Gutted to miss this! Have a great day, all

    Is anyone selling anything on the day, or will it be a fun surprise to see ‘for sale’ stickers slapped on headstocks? I’m having a think myself…
  14. HMX
    Hmm... John Paul Jones.

    I’d definitely try and sell your fretless bass. There aren’t many fretless ‘Rays out there so I think there would be some interest! I’m even considering getting my Ray 34 de-fretted.

    Alright, well pencil me in for coming down with my Fender P bass and Ray 34!

    I didn’t know Guy was in Brighton. I’d be happy to supply the lift providing a bass arsenal could fit in my Fiesta!
  18. HMX
    Probably worth buying a used Ray 34 and a Darkglass pedal instead.

    I’ve never been to a bass bash but would love to attend, if I can. We’ve got a handful of a lovely 10 month old so I wouldn’t be there for the whole day. Do other folk stick around for just a couple of hours? If I came I’d be bringing my rather unexotic duo of MIM P bass and Silverburst Sterling Ray 34. I don’t have an amp, only a Nux preamp.

    I don’t post much on here but I’m in!
  21. HMX
    Well if this doesn't go earlier, see you at the end of the month? 😉

    Potentially got a new bass coming in (Oops!) so I'm keen to get this one out. Now REDUCED to £370 collected or delivered within 10 miles of Brighton.
  23. HMX
    Yeah, looking for an extra bedroom ideally so we can keep our home office 😅 Where are you looking? Worthing is a possibility for us.
  24. HMX
    I don't make it up to London much, I'm afraid!
  25. HMX
    Ah, man – that's unfortunate but I totally understand. We're trying to move house this year too! Crazy, crazy prices around here, right? Good luck with the search!
