Rich

Only 7. What a sheltered life I have led. I recall Kingfisher Music in Fleet having a similar list. They had a sliding scale of fines with all the money going to (IIRC) a local hospice.

And, being Poole, each other I expect...

01 Ever played a gig sitting down? Yes, after a knee operation some years back. 02 Ever gigged on a different instrument? I did a few gigs doing just BVs and percussion after a carpal tunnel op. It was quite nice being able to concentrate on the singing. 03 Ever shared a stage with a musical hero of yours? No, alas. 04 Any fan ever had a tatoo of your band's logo? Nope. Seen people wearing the t shirt though. 05 Ever signed an autograph in a dressing room? Who would want it? 06 Ever cried on stage? No. Came close though, on the night my dad died. 07 Ever worn a hat on stage? Yes, every gig. 08 Ever gigged with a band you hadn't met before the gig? No, and I wouldn't like to. I hate being underprepared. 09 Ever been in a relationship with a fellow band member? No and I wouldn't want to. Absolute minefield. 10 Ever played in different bands on the same day? Yes, and on the same bill too. 11 Ever had anything thrown at you while playing? Spears, grenades, angry honey badgers. No knickers yet though. 12 Ever crashed on the way to the gig? No. Wrote my car off en route to a rehearsal once though. 13 Ever left a band over the choice of set list? No. 14 Ever slept in the venue despite it not being a hotel? No. 15 Ever been supported by a band clearly better than you? Thankfully, no. 16 Ever played a gig suffering from some debilitating medical condition? Yes, see 1 and 2 above. 17 Ever been in a band where the guitarist was your favourite bandmate? Yes, twice. A blues rock trio in Swindon, and also a fusion trio with @Witters. 18 Ever played in the grounds of a stately home? Don't think so. 19 Ever injured yourself on stage? Like many others, only my pride. 20 Ever been told that your bass isn't loud enough? Yes. What a glorious day that was.

You were lucky to have a lake.

I think it's @Reggaebass?

In all seriousness, this does look like a really absurd bargain but my old Pandora already does all that for me, so I'll leave it for someone else.

Mmmm. Noodles.

Mmmm. Cake.

Well, the mammoth clone works now to build the second part of the project and combine them.

I did, couple of years ago at the Fleece in Brizzle.

Ok, sticking my neck out a bit... you were only 17 when he died, so... Bob Marley?

Queen

Joe Bonamassa?

Stones.

Two PCBs in the mail from Fuzzdog. Looking forward to some nice relaxing tinkering at the workbench.

Oh my word. I feel an interesting photoshop project coming on

This. Absolutely everything about it. No redeeming visual qualities whatsoever.

Or aesthetics in general, for that matter.

Oh thanks, now I really fancy a caramac. Off down the shops for a spot of social distancing, then.

I don't mean functional features like slim necks or tighter string spacing, I'm talking about purely aesthetic stuff here. Body shapes and the like. I'll start the ball rolling. Early P-bass/Tele headstock shape. Don't like it, at all. It looks like someone's had a bandsaw accident with a regular P neck and tried to make the best of it. 90s hair-metal Charvel/Jackson pointy headstocks. Looking at them, you can just smell the hairspray and dodgy spandex. Stick your foot on the monitor and away you go. Far, far away please. "Whoops". Rawwwwk. Errm, no ta.
