    I’ve been pretty settled on a fretted and a fretless P for about 12 months, unusual for me. Had a fleeting dance with a Stingray during that time, but that came & went.

    Valencia VC564CE Cutaway electro Classical Guitar with Hard Case. Just restrung with new strings. The fret board is a lovely striped Amara Ebony, Spruce top and walnut back & sides. Bought this as I always fancied playing some Latin style jazz, but I’m hopeless and haven’t the time to fulfill this particular fantasy. It’s in good condition, a couple of marks, and the electrics work well with a nice 3 band eq and built in tuner. Don’t be put off by the low price, it’s a lovely guitar and plays nicely. I just not playing it and have a tiny house, so really don’t have room. £90 collected or could post for £105 as it’s in a hard case. Open to trades btw, try me. Interested in old iMac/Macbook for GarageBand use.

    Can this be used with an iPad? Cheers

    I have a couple of self build Ps with Finder Decision Bass in 70’s style logo on. I could leave the headstock blank I suppose. But it’s no one else’s business, so why worry.

    Darn it, I’d have had the P if you had split them. 😭

    Yup my YOB dream bass too!

    I’ve always viewed being called to dep as a great compliment, particularly if the band is of decent quality. It means you are trusted to turn up (at the right location & on time) prepped and ready to go, without rehearsal. Thats a lot of trust a BL is putting in you. I enjoyed depping (particularly decent function bands) as I got to play without having to deal with band politics, and could always say no if I didn’t fancy the gig. The last dep I did lasted 8 years! Happy in my band now so don’t do it as much, but would still if it’s a fun gig.

    That’s great with the matching headstock! Nice job.

    Yes the nob quality seem at such odds with the rest of the build quality. I replaced mine with some funky coloured ones.

    Great idea. Just ordered a matching set for our geetards birthday!

    First time RH750 user here. Have to say the eq and preset flexibility is so useful for me when using fretted, fretless and upright. Push one of the 3 presets and I’m good to go. The volume on tap is ridiculous.

    Could really do with that 112 to match my 212 but Essex is a long way from Bath.

    Psychodahlias played the Dublin Castle yesterday. Went well, although the stage isn’t really cut out for a 7 piece that like to move about 😂. How madness coped I don’t know.

    Reminds me of this. My church musician experience has been that often the most naturally gifted are the laziest and believe fanning the flame of their gift involves totally ignoring any semblance of work. Doesn't help that they are often lauded by the congregation as gifted or “anointed’ thus reinforcing the negligence. If anyone said that to me I’d always reply “the more I practice and more attentive I am to my responsibilities with my “gift”, the more gifted I seem to be” 😂😂 funny that.

    The Psychodahlias are playing The Dublin Castle Camden this Sunday. If you’re around, come and say ‘alllo Details: https://www.wegottickets.com/event/597128#

    Looks great Paul. I’m lucky you’re 166 miles, or 3hrs 18min away…..apparently…if anyone was checking, which I wasn’t of course btw. 🤪

    That is a lot of trouser flapping for the money. Tempted myself. GLWTS

    “Unrealistic expectations are the building blocks of resentment”. Some insightful person once said. It appears your expectations are unrealistic my friend. Been there, done that, gave them all a big hug and walked away. There are many ways to express your faith through your gift/passion. Find (or create) an opportunity that doesn’t make you unhappy. You’ll not change people through “tearing them a new one”. It’s a culture, don’t take it personally. Hugs.

    The reason I play bass. In my early teens I’d listen to each new EJ album my big brothers bought between 71-76. Dee inspired my playing and ,along with Davey and Nigel, developed my love for BV’s. The Ballad of Danny Bailey!! 😍 Then Kenny P defined my love for fretless.

    I have owned one these cabs, and currently have one the drivers in an EA cab. Superb kit. Excellent VFM rig this. GLWTS
