  1. The 2nd “difficult” album
  2. The Artist‘s nan bassworks? Bless her, should stick to knitting.
  3. Don’t you O’press me! 😡
  4. Is anyone allowed to just “like” music anymore? Asking for a friend. They’re a bit wishywashy tbh. They went to Rock against denturewearing in the late 70’s (you know the type)...
  5. Who are these people? Cheap and unnecessary.
  6. I can hardly contain my indifference to EC and have never heard of P Bridges. But she sounds a class act with the “dead baby song” jibe. Way to go Pheeeebs, must have you round sometime. 🙄
  7. Not difficult in my case 🥳 cheerz
  8. Have I missed something here? I was pretty impressed by his capacity to listen and hear parts, and to log the form and breaks of a reasonably complex piece, in one listen then lay down his own interpretation pretty much on point. What are the reasons for people’s indifference to this? Genuinely interested. I’m getting the feeling I’m just easily impressed 😂
  9. On my watch list.
  10. Thanks for sharing that. Really enjoyed it. He gives the most profound and yet simple advise to ALL musicians.... “Listen” -to what else is being played. -to lots of different genres to have more options at your disposal. And Practice.
  11. It’s ok Stew, couldn’t think of a better fella to see your bass over the last line. Have to say it’s been great seeing the relay develop. 😎
  12. Young @BreadBin letting go of a bass...now that’s worth a photo 😂 That BC kinda suits you Brendon. 😊
  13. I know....😩
  14. As a result, Paradoral activity is kept to a minimum.
  15. Looks like a Grabber had a fling with a Thunder 3a and these were the result.
  16. Presto Hybrids, Light gauge. Chromesteel wrap on steel rope core. E, D & G strings £15 each. p&p included. 6 weeks old, been on 3/4 bass for about 2 weeks. Very nice under the fingers and nice bowed. The guy who sets up my basses really likes these and ordered a set.
  17. I’d hire someone to track down the 79 fretless P I owned in the mid 80’s, then throw £50 notes at the current owner until they let it go. I’d also buy my weight in chocolate cake, and double my weight. Repeating this process until I explode. 2nd best way to die.
  18. That’s in Kent. Too far for me Stew. 🤡
  19. Replied 👍🏻
  20. I’m still standing.
  21. Sorry to hear about your health (and financial) issues Mick! Sucks you have to sell this bad boy. Way out of my league I’m afraid. But GLWTS
  22. That’s a pretty ropey lacquer job on the headstock. Must have sniffed the can beforehand.
  23. One of my brothers taught me “all right now” bass solo on his battered old acoustic guitar. It was 1970, I was 9, and hooked on bass from that moment. Subsequently realised (some years later) he was playing it wrong....but whatever.
  24. Happy anniversary Andy. Make the most of every moment. My youngest is 25 this year, she’s stuck up in Edinburgh and we haven’t seen her for 11 months (FaceTime isn’t the same as a hug). But I remember the moment she was born like yesterday, and it’s flown by. Happy birthday Ella, your dad really does love you more than his basses. 😊
