Oohh that matte black on the back. Nice. Mark

+10 Internet points for having all the poles lined up. Mark

Thank you all for not making me feel like a failure! I may go back to the song that prompted this thread at some point, but not this week. Thank you all for your input so far. Mark

I'll add https://www.geminipickups.co.uk to the growing list. Very good to deal with, incredibly helpful and receptive to emails. Mark

Have you ever tried to learn a song and it was just frustrating you so much trying to get it down that you just walked away from it? I tried really hard to get the bass line for Money by Pink Floyd, but there's a change from verse to bridge (I think, it was about 15 years ago) that I just couldn't get my fingers to work properly on. hahaha You know when you know the notes you want to go to, but because your fingering is in a different position/shape before the change that you literally just trip your fingers over each other? That change in Money was like that for me. I was at the point where I thought I had to relearn how I was playing it to make the changes possible. Which, at the time, that just seemed mental to me, but was probably the correct course of action if I wanted to carry on with it. I may give it another go sometime, but not today. 😂 PTSD or something about that song now. Hahaha Mark

I'm kinda diggin' that hole in the top horn though. Mark

I've lived my whole life in this position, why change the habit of a lifetime now. 😂 Mark

Bugger. Mark

Have we had Buns 'n' Roses yet? Mark

That's not the kind of message your site would have if it was just being revamped. Mark

😂 Mark

Money is no issue? A really nice workshop and machines/tools to make my own basses, because I'll need to do something with my time after I pack my job in, which won't be immediately, but it will happen. Ah, it's nice to dream, eh? Mark

I had no idea SCAN did basses. Every day's a school day. Mark

All this talk about Status prices increasing is not good for my long held desire to own a 5-String T-Bass. 😢 Mark

Better bloody not have been. 😂 Mark

If the 5-string Sandberg Forty-Eight had a reverse in-line headstock, I'd already have one in my collection. Mark

It still errors on Safari (it is an old version though) I have just tried in the latest Firefox and it worked as expected, so I'd likely put this down to my version of Safari on this Mac - which itself is old, I'll try my iMac later, I'm not expecting any issues there TBH. Mark

I keep getting an error after the first page generated and I'm clicking to generate more … 'Safari can't open the page https://bandname.uk. The error is : "cannot parse response" (NSURLErrorDomain-1017) Mark

Same. It's been working previously but now just says 'Coming Soon' and a login box underneath. Mark
