Just for s__ts and giggles, I'm going to give the Donner Pocket Go a whirl. Anyone else tried one?

Just dropped my Wal off with Paul at Electric Wood. Had a lovely chat with him. There are some lovely necks and bodies hanging up in his shop, ready to be bolted together. My favourite was what looked like a Mk2 5-string body, with bird's-eye maple top, in a translucent red lacquer. Oh my god.

Seeking to resurrect Jonnie Comet Band from New Jersey Shore, 1980-1985. Need keys, lgtr, drms, all w/bvox. Should have period/style gear, good work ethic; be clean and fit (and have hair). Repertoire is mostly New Wave, New Romantics, pop, ‘whatever was on first-generation MTV’ (that includes Rick Springfield, Duran Duran, Eddie Money, whatever was on John Hughes films - essentially 1979-1987). Recording JCB originals likely. Break out the plimsolls. It’s a travelling band so let’s have fun.
Reach out with interest.
Cheers.

Hi, Do you still have It?
;)
Cheers-
@SpondonBassed my hair grew back ok. Trouble is, it grew in all the wrong places. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go and plait my toes.

NR/PAD (New Rehearsal / Practice Amp Day) incoming... the world's scruffiest TC BG250 combo.
-
I certainly will. I've been using a BG250 at a rehearsal studio and have been pleasantly surprised by it. I'm going to replace my current Behringer BX600 rehearsal amp with the TC, its main advantages being more power and less weight. The Behringer weighs an absolute ton for such a small box.
Good idea with the Hammerite. I've got a tin of silver, but I might see what else is out there.

It's not really as bad as I'm making it out to be... it's got a few nicks and lifts in the vinyl which is all easily sorted, the main area of scruffiness is the grille which has been sprayed with what I assume is a band logo... a bit of rattle can black should sort that out. I'll have to clean the badge up too.

Had one of those "Dad this is my new number" scam texts this morning. Rather than immediately delete it, I'm going to see how long I can keep them going. I asked "is that you Felicity?" and they said yes. Obvs I do not have a daughter named Felicity
So now I've invented Felicity's no-good bum of a husband Hugo, who keeps selling her iPhones to fund his gambling habit. Let's see if they take that bait too.

NWD (New Wireless Day) -- incoming Sennheiser G3. Ludicrous, ridiculous deal I couldn't walk away from.

Redundancy looms over me for the second time in three years
-
You have my sympathy too. I was binned last December (fabulous timing, just before Xmas
) after 17 years with the company and I'm still a bit bitter about it. Although I'm told that there are going to be more redundancies there, so maybe it was good that I was one of the first out of the door, but it's hard to spin it as a positive. I've managed to secure another job which I'm still waiting to start, although with a much smaller industry player and at a lower hourly rate. I'm sure there are many of us here who can give you a sympathetic been-there-too BC hug, but sadly that doesn't pay the bills.

Hi
I’m looking for collectors .

Hi Ally,
I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say that if you need any help of any sort with curating or moving on Nick's vast and enviable collection, just ask. Nick was our beloved brother in bass, and we'll do all we can to assist you in what must be a painful task. Hope you and the family are bearing up ok.

To commit to buying a new bass, or not.
That is the question.

Missed the 5string Status neck that showed up at BassBros at the weekend 🤬Been after one for yonks, more so since I got the FrankenJazz with a Status 4 neck 😢

Incoming NAD. Exciting stuff

Deppin a posh gig at the Eden project, forgot about the 5hrs waiting around bit doing f’all. Suddenly the Dog & Duck hourly rate doesn’t feel too bad.

Ah well, there's a nice start to the week. Redundancy looms.
