Donation made, lanyard purchased. Thanks for your efforts and keep up the sterling work guys and gals.

The bass in question has a butterscotch blonde body. What pickguard colour would you have as a replacement? I've allowed for multiple choices (so I can vote for several combinations obviously ) Thanks for your help Mr Indecisive p.s.

I read that Peter Gabriel even took his daughter to see them to show her what Dad used to do. Check em out if you can. [/quote] Yeah, saw them do the whole of The Lamb this year. Very good it was too.

Max just purchased some straplocks from me. Quick payment, very easy and professional to deal with. Thanks very much.

Oh yes, Firth of Fifth, when Steve's solo starts still sends shivers up my spine when I hear it - those white lights on the album cover didn't half singe my hair when they were turned though. Going to see Steve on his Genesis Revisited II tour next year.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1352714082' post='1866324'] Does it matter? The scope of music these days is wide and diverse and pop/chart music is fast becoming an insignificant blip. Besides there's no law that says every piece of music needs to have a bass instrument of some description on it. There has been plenty of music throughout the ages (and not just limited to pop and rock) that was composed without bass and works perfectly well that way. Personally I think it's very presumptuous of the OP to consider writing bass parts for recorded songs that don't have them and were obviously written and arranged in such a way that the composer/writers felt that bass parts were unnecessary. In the (almost) 40 years that I have been writing music, I've written and recorded a lot of songs with no bass guitar on them and some of those don't have any bass instrument at all, because IMO they were complete without it. OTOH I've also written songs where the bass was the dominant instrument and the others were reduced to little more than sonic embellishments. It's all about knowing what is right of the song and the style of the music. If as a bass guitarist you feel that your role on music is under threat than maybe you should consider learning another instrument or how to program synths and sequencers. However IMO you are over-reacting. Musicians have worried about being replaced by technology since the 70s and guess what? All but the most incompetent are still here and playing. [/quote] +1 Also who says what is good music and what is not, surely it's all subjective. I brought my kids up along the lines of there is music you like, music you really don't like and all point in between; your opinion is exactly that and carries no more validity than anybody elses.

Sorry missed your post. It took a week or two but all landed safely.

Just acquired a rather nice Fenix bass. Great transaction, simple and quick. As has already been stated above many times, Stuart is highly recommended to all BCers and a top bloke. Thanks very much.

Anybody catch Polica on Jools this week just gone - rather liked that and have CD on order. Also, how many 70s style natural basses with black pickguards!
