@Merton and I will need to toss a coin to see which of us brings the Trace TE-1200 😂

Sew In Love - Ella Fitzgerald

I was wondering who'd be first to spot it. Well done. 😁

My favourite is Micro-timin' With Mr Bloe.

Year started playing: 1982 Number of basses: 10 Music theory: 3 ** Technique: 4 Groove: 8 (** I did give myself a 1 originally, but then I realised that I can follow a chart quite well even if I can't actually read the notes.)

Number of strings: 5 Number of frets: 24 Scale length: 34 Number of pickups: 2 Number of controls (switches/knobs): 9 (6 rotary controls, 3 switches)

Ouch! - The Rutles

ABC - Jackson 5

8th/9th Nov would work for me. Preferably 9th.

Without wanting to derail anything, OldGit's Shuker 5-string P was utterly gorgeous. I played a whole gig with it once and the thing was just alive in my hands. When he had it built, there was no such thing as an off-the-peg 5-string P.

Back in the 90s I auditioned for a band in Swindon... it quickly became apparent that their original material was utterly dire, so I slapped my way through one of the songs in an attempt to deliberately fail the audition it seemed to work
