    Bargain. Tempted to buy it just for recording. That tone ❤️ In-laws live in St Ives, due another visit soon. Might check in with you Nick next time we’re over that way.

    Been feasting on Hiromi Trio Project tonight. Anthony Jackson, what a player, but his technique was so awkward looking, it gives me a headache watching 🤣 I'd gladly have his chops mind.

    Love this era of Eden. You describe the tone so well Nick.

    No Mike, just a fun writing/recording project. Getting loads of different mates involved. There will be an “albums’” worth of material in the spring/summer. It’s been fun.

    Thanks. Glad you read the credits too. I’m both Hardliegh Worthit & Cardigan Fitzbadley. As well as Hue Manfactors of course. The rest of The Roster made their own pseudonyms. All fine players.

    Only 2 tracks up at the moment. But it’s been fun with some fab friends playing on them. https://huemanfactorstheroster.bandcamp.com/track/just-a-prayer https://huemanfactorstheroster.bandcamp.com/track/go-dig-that-well

    That’s about as Fender as my aunt Fannie’s Deirdre

    That’s a lot of cab for £100. Love Eden gear. GLWTS

    That seems a great price. This era of Tokai was/were/are/is fab! GLWTS

    I’ve done all 3 with items bought here and from other sources. Sold at a profit Sold at a loss Given stuff away My question is at what point does an item become “flipped”? One day, one week, one month?

    Everything I own - Ken Boothe. Love that tune the way he did it.

    So they don’t like what you do, but aren’t prepared to take on the responsibility for any between song engagement themselves? Helpful 🙄 Good audience engagement is a skill. I’d prefer it kept to a bare minimum and only if the person is clearly interested in the audience. Not enough bands rehearse transitioning from one song to the next at the best of times. Too much gazing at their pedal settings, or tuners, or waiting for the drummer (or whoever) to count the next song in. Should be “Thankyou…1,2,3,4…” unless you think a song needs an introduction because of some significant meaning, or the guitarist needs time for a cuddle from their mum because no one noticed he brought his ‘63 Les Strat with the mandolin duck down bridge spoon. 🙄 Bands!!

    Fantastic basses these.

    What’s brewing Mickey?

    I have owned the fretted version. Very nice bass it was too. Tempted but will resist.

    GH are down the road from me. I’ve scored some bargains and it’s good to be able to take a look beforehand. I pre bid, limit my bidding and don’t check in until after the auction has finished. That way I don’t get caught up in ”auction frenzy”. It may be different if it’s something I’m desperate for or is rare, but even then I limit my bidding. You’re right, it’s important to factor in the fairly high commission.

    When will you find out for sure? 🤣

    Loving my Wishbass Lobe. GLWTS

    I think just you playing the autoharp will do for starters Jack.

    1976. 15 years old with my first bass. Made by Gary Nava, school mate (now makes bespoke instruments for people like Matt Bellamy). 2024. My last gig before retiring from live bass duties.

    I had one of these…. Ended upside my head

    I constantly asked for separate vocal rehearsals with just an acoustic guitar. But was met with resistance, or guitarists turning up with full kit. 🙄

    I left my last band (which I put together) due to excessive volume from both guitarists and keys player at rehearsals and gigs. Since leaving, the lead guitarist has taken to using 2 amps (AC30 and a similar) and got the other guitarist an extension cab. The keys player an additional Lesley. Lead guitarist refuses modelling as it’s “not authentic”. It just became a cycle of ever increasing levels as they compete with each other to be heard. The bvs can’t hear themselves in rehearsal but that didn’t seem to bother anyone. 😡

    Simon bought an iPad Focusrite dock from me. All good, paid quickly and good comms. Thank you. John
