Another great music shop in Newcastle was McKay's on Westgate Road. Tiny shop but full of second hand bargains. I bought my first practice amp from there, a Wem.

J G Windows in the central arcade, Newcastle. Brilliant shop, popped in every Saturday. Bought my first Fender Precision there in 1978, lovely colour Antigua. Unfortunately it was stolen from our van in the mid 80's along with all the other bands gear!

👍👍

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Floyd Pepper or Wilbur Bascomb...surely everyone knows them 😁

Apologies, I started a new feedback thread for Martin without checking if there was already a thread for him: Bought a 5 string Fender Jazz Pro ii from Martin. The bass was in lovely condition as described by him in his advert. Martin was a pleasure to deal with, great comms making it a smooth transaction with no problems at all. Highly recommended basschatter.

Just bought a Fender Precision Pro ii and a Musicman Stingray from Nick. The basses are exactly as described and exactly what I wanted so I'm delighted with them. They were exceptionally well packaged so there was no chance they could have been damaged in transit. The transaction was really easy with great comms and the basses were with me within 2 days. Nick was a gentleman to deal with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Top class seller, thanks again Nick. Cheers Stew

The only band names I remember: Dark Horse - heavy rock covers/originals. Formed when at school. First gig was in the school assembly hall. Headstone - heavy rock originals with some covers. Was a progression of Dark Horse with the addition of brilliant vocalist and sh#thot drummer. Laughin Sam's Dice - Blues Rock originals/covers. Named after a Hendrix song. Strange Desire - Soft rock covers. That's all I can remember but there were more!

Can I Play With Madness - Iron Maiden

Shaddup Your Face - Joe Dolce

One Fine Face - Sesame Street

Cherry Bomb - The Runaways

That's despicable. Years ago our band had all our gear nicked from the back of a van. I lost a beautiful, perfectly setup 78 Precision (in an unusual Antigua colour) and a 200w Marshall head and 4 x 12...and we weren't insured!, so I know how they'll all be feeling. We didn't have all this online media stuff in those days so we had no chance of getting the stuff back but hopefully someone from this forum or their contacts might spot something. Would be handy if you could give us the serial numbers to look out for. Hope they get their gear back and the vile scum get caught.
