In London for the day, had a quick visit. Very welcoming guys, tried out unlined f.less stingray and they had time for a chat. First Class! And a great selection of basses & uprights.

Elton John has always had great bass players. Dee Murray was the reason I took up bass, and Kenny Passarelli the reason for playing fretless. I lost interest in EJ s music after 76 Blue Moves, but always looked out for who was playing bass with him. Matt sounds like a nice guy.

It's not the first time Paul & I have met together for a dodgy deal in a car park... :-)

I bought (robbed actually) a lovely Zoot iceni from Simon. Not only did he give me a great deal, he even arranged for it to be picked up and delivered by the amazing Paul S of this parish. Top man. John

Thanks to Paul for sorting this out for me, zoot now in my grubby hands. Thanks also to those who kindly offered their help too. Much appreciated. John

Cool, thanks for the offer. We're hoping things will work out with Paul, but yeovil isn't far if that doesn't work out. Cheers, John

Paul, thanks for the offer, this may work out very nicely. Give me a call. I've Pmd you my number. John

Thanks gents. Good thinking about the Herts bash. John

Before MacDaddy packs up the Iceni Zoot I've stolen off him, and hands it over to postman Pat to lovingly place on a bed of feathers in the back of his chariot pulled by unicorns, is anyone travelling from London to Bath/Bristol over next week or so who would be prepared to put the bass on the back seat of their car instead please? I can meet up anywhere around the Avon/Somerset/Wiltshire area. No worries if not, just a thought. :-) Thanks. John

Band I was in were on music TV show with southside Jonny & asbury jukes, bangles and a local band. Bangles weren't allowed to mix with the rest of the acts (despite our best efforts) but SJ&AJ were a brilliant laugh. They were one of my favorite bands and were happy to share stories and a drink or 3 with us unknown punk types. Anyway when it came to filming our slot, I noticed on the TV monitor that the brass guys appeared on the screen miming the brass parts on our song each time the brass "stabs" came up (we didn't have brass players in the band). Apparently after I'd disclosed how much of a fan I was, they'd had a word with the director and asked him to include them in the filming. I was soooo chuffed! Nice touch I thought.
