Mykesbass

You might be able to get the Aria down a bit. As per my previous post, great basses, but awful resale value.

Those Aria IGBs are great, but won't be a P with flats on!

Could listen to Inner City Blues all day!

Another possibility is Wunjo. They do (did) comission sales and seem to achieve good prices.

Somewhere near here? 😏

Get in touch with the guys at Session.

Surgical spirit all the way for me (well the fingertips have gone soft during lockdown).

You need to read @Happy Jackthread on back pain and posture. Hopefully he'll see this and post a link.

Plenty of them playing in the pubs down here.

Calling @Reggaebass and @taunton-hobbit

Was a big fan - still love the two early albums. Stupidly never got around to listening to the later stuff which is also meant to be good.

80s pop - Short Strap

Pretty sure @Chimike did/does. Are you still on here Mike?

It's all down to the tonewood used in the building...

Fine tribute from Rodigan on Twitter

Dreadful news. Love this gig 😢

How many basses have National made? Still, the idea could 'resonate' with some...

A different approach is to get the lead guitarist to tailor his soloing ( caveat, there will be some bits that will need to be played note for note) to take up some of the slack.

Always get grief for buying CDs and then not wanting anything for Christmas, so most of them are on my list this year so will have to report back in the new year. From what I've heard on the radio I think Little Simz is the leading contender at the moment. Great year for new music to my ears.

Give my buddy Webby a call. He'll talk you through the options and sort you out a deal. Nice guy - he knows Bilbo and Dood of this parish! http://thedrummingshop.co.uk/contact

Oh yes, that wobbly balcony! Experienced that when 9 Below Zero played there in the very early 80s - scary, but an adrenaline buzz type scary!

Nearside and offside - only got that concept a couple of years back and I'm 57!

Same with top and bottom strings.

Great programme. Really liked the way Sam Fender presented it, as someone newly discovering the band. Open and honest - very refreshing. Oh, and I must have blinked, as I was looking out for you

Can't you just turn comments off o Facebook? My last job, part of the application procedure for developers (I wasn't) was a series of written questions. On the cover page it said do not answer question 4. Knowing now what a kn0b the guy was who ran the company and wrote the questions I'd run a mile from anyone advertising for band members in this manner.
