Passed through Handsworth today for the first time. Can't believe how much this album currently costs on either CD or vinyl! Island Records reissue it NOW please!

25 O'Clock — Dukes of Stratosphear

My Lionel SL is 2.6kg / 5.7 lb

Robert bought my Greco Thunderbird. First class communications throughout which was great as the bass was shipped to The Netherlands. An absolute top guy to deal with in every way, I highly recommend! 👍

I'm planning another trip in the near future and, have to say, the virtual showroom on the website is awesome - I spent ages nosing around. A really great addition, wish more stores had this.

small squares and a wooden spatula

yo really have got to be some kind of nut job to point a gun at the Police in the USA, if the reports are accurate of course

Very posh. Nice one. Dave

" some of the performers aren't so good" I've noticed that at a lot of the open mics in my neck of the woods . Daryl

OK, not just me then! I tend to swap out my univibe for a chorus for conventional/wedding gigs, and I've put 1x1cm squares on instead. Seems to be easier to remove...

Ha!

Looks like a very " posh" event 71 here. I hope I'm still gigging at 79. That would be awesome. Daryl

… so I was going to make a ‘Stealth’ all black board, but remembered whilst starting to assemble (with the Keeley Bassist Limiting Amplifier) that I had a Lusithand Alma Mk 2 in Chrome sitting on a shelf somewhere lol (my favourite comp and it’s British 🇬🇧 😎) so …

We never call each other out on mistakes. I think it's one of the reasons we've stayed together since 2007. Plus, with the amount of mistakes we make we'd end up spending more time calling each other out than actual playing. Lol Daryl

Hmmmmm... I think I meant younger than some of you with a few approaching me, I'll be 79 in a couple of weeks! 😊

" The crowd was older." Does older mean younger than me and a few others here? Lol Daryl

Wow 😳

Playing in the house band at our open mic I was asked by another bassist if I would play his bass so he could hear what it sounded like (sigh). Cherry red P. As he handed it to me I only got a glance at the headstock and I thought I saw a circle with a ‘K’. Played a few runs on mute and the neck was ok. When I ‘pressed play’ it was awful. The two outer strings had no volume at all so you had to dig in to them. The two inner were so loud if you touched them they were overwhelming the band mix. The only ‘plus’ was that it was really light! Afterwards he thanked me and said how great it was sounding and as I handed the ‘Kay’s Copy’ back I noticed there was actually a pick in the strings over the headstock logo that made me think it was the Kay Logo. Underneath I saw an ‘F’ so asked him what it was. 1962 Precision was the reply. Owned since new he’d basically ‘given me a treat’ to play an awesome Vintage Bass! I was very thankful I’d thought it was a dog as it would save me thousands as I now didn’t want to own one! Unfortunately that was short lived as he brought its sister, a blonde 1962 jazz, to the next OM. That was LOVELY!
