    I've joined a Wolverhampton based originals band very much on the rock end of Americana. Influences are Wilco, Jason Isbell, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty etc. We're called Silver Pines. I'm playing some of the most interesting music I've ever played, with one of the best guitarists I've worked with, and they are all lovely human beings!! Nothing to share yet, but you will all be among the first to know when I do.

    Sorry, going to have to add another. Rainey's playing on this one is sublime!

    Just listening to an amazing old Quincy Jones vinyl compilation - this is a super funky ballad, but then hey, what would you expect with Cuck Rainey and Harvey Mason as your rhythm section?

    The track they played on 6 Music sounded great. Couldn't find it on iPlayer 😟

    There's a really nice late recording, Joe Henderson Big Band from 1996 that I like.

    Point of order, not all COPD is self inflicted.

    Duke Ellington "In the 60s". Was my introduction to the great man, and is still a fabulous listen. All the big tunes, great quality recording and the old boys were still very much on their collective game.

    Gabe @Microwave420 just bought my G&L Kiloton. Brand new member, joined the site to buy this bass, and was in Indonesia when he contacted me. Naturally I was a tiny bit suspicious, but Gabe's communication was great, and we met up halfway to make the deal. Totally genuine and a nice guy to boot. Sell with confidence if he contacts you 👍

    Mel who ran a cassette manufacturer that I used to use was the cellist in ELO.

    Could you go full retro with a trapeze tailpiece?

    Goodwood Revival ltd edition in tweed anyone 🤔 Here's to great success for Stevie 👍
  12. Mykesbass
    Yes @Microwave420 it is.

    Thanks - hadn't spotted that!

    Etsy UK. Looks like plenty of choice, vintage and repro.

    Sorry, can any of our drummers on here explain the difficulty as I have never encountered a drummer who has thought this was a problem?

    Vitamin Qué?

    That's much better. Yes, the posthumous hit hardly sounds like a reggae track. Thanks Tony 👍

    Is there an original version of Marley's Iron Lion Zion without all the posthumous production and overdubs? Heard it on the radio today and was amazed by how awful I thought it sounded. Would love to hear Bob's original if it exists.

    I've got to pull some fence posts and large planks of wood from the canal in Tipton tomorrow - any bids from our budding luthiers?
  20. Mykesbass
    You removed it 😎
  21. Mykesbass
    Yes, much as I've tried, my left hand always wants to be on a fiver.

    Had this in a trade two years ago, and fabulous as it is, the poor thing hasn't been played, as no matter how many times I think I need another bass I ALWAYS go back to my Shuker, so this has been noodled on a couple of times and then just remained in a case. I believe the see through cherry over mahogany was a limited run, and it looks really great. Previous owner, @BaggyMan has meticulously added a vinyl carbon fibre look wrap over the tort pickguard. I think it looks right on this bass but will easily peel off. There are a couple of tiny nobbles on the headstock, and a couple of faint surface scratches on the back - the one highlighting this was taken with a macro lens. Strung with barely played DR Hi-Beams for extra sparkle - my plan was to have something the complete opposite to my main 5 string, flatwound fretless. Collection from Stourbridge, or could meet up in West Midlands. Don't want to courier as I don't have a spare hard case. Spec from original post: CONSTRUCTION: bolt-on SCALE: 34" PICKUPS: Leo Fender†-designed G&L MFD™ Magnetic Field Design humbucker made in Fullerton, California NECK WOOD: Hard-Rock Maple w/ Maple fingerboard NECK WIDTH AT NUT: 1 1/2" NECK RADIUS: 12" NECK PROFILE: medium C FRETS: 21 medium jumbo, nickel TUNING KEYS: Traditional open-back, BRIDGE: Leo Fender-designed G&L Saddle-Lock ELECTRONICS: 3-way series/split/parallel mini toggle, volume, tone weight: 3.8Kgs

    Only on here could 34 be considered youth 😎

    Not so much just three reviews but they all look like they have been written by a daytime TV funeral insurance advertising copywriter.

    That's a great song to remember him by. Much better tribute than his biggest hit.
