    The bridge, body shape, knobs, neck, headstock, tuners, pickups and number of frets are all wrong for a Mustang. Move along, nothing to see here...

    Put simply - I want something but I don't have the money for it. Option 1 = save/earn the money for it. Option 2 = accept you can't afford it and get something cheaper. That's more or less how life works as far as I can tell. EDIT: Oh yeah - and credit cards.

    I was once told my signature had been included on a contract i specifically hadn't signed, which was nice. They were some fly by night fantasists. That didn't end well.

    In terms of qualifications I’m a journalist with several years service on various local papers, but for the last 14 years I’ve been a council press officer. Bit easier to fit around childcare commitments and gigs, and they’re a good bunch to work with.

    Good grief is this the same one I saw at your house? That’s a very cool bass indeed.

    I played BC'er Norris's T Bird a few years ago and it was beautifully light and slender compared to the only similarly-shaped bass I'd ever owned (a really big clunky Tokai T Bird which weighed a tonne). It was a real surprise, in a good way!

    In new money, I’d say under 4kg is good for me, with anything between 4-4.5kg getting a bit OTT. That doesn’t rule out too much but means I have to pick and choose to get a light one. Ive owned ones up to about 5kg in the past ( a particularly crippling Tokai T Bird) but I can’t cope with that these days. The same reason I can’t be bothered with 40kg speaker cabs...

    Selling this really good condition Boss BCB-60 pedal board/case. Barely used as I don’t really use pedals (was for another project a couple of years ago which came to nothing). Comes with the proper Roland power supply, and six Boss patch leads (three long and three short). All latches, screws etc in perfect working order. You’ll see all but one of the foam inserts is there - I’d guess if you’re buying this you’re gonna be using at least one pedal tho, so it won’t make any difference! Great clean condition with just a few light scuffs on outer casing. Looking for £50 plus whatever cost of postage. Collection from Leicester is fine too. Nice one.

    I gigged one of these on the weekend, and having spent most of the day home alone playing bass very loudly thru mine I can concur that they are indeed awesome cabs.

    Iron Maiden - inspired me to start playing as a teenager after listening/watching Live After Death. Could probably still play along to that album note for note! Aerosmith - the next phase of bands that I really got into (along with GnR) showed me how a dirty swaggering band should sound, with brass and funky rhythms etc. DJ Sasha / BT / DJ Hollis - exposed to a lot of dance music in my late teens/early 20s and loved the power of pumping low bass notes, which still turn up frequently in my playing!

    Top song I agree. Also very much digging the current Dua Lipa song “Don’t Start Now.” Good bass in it too (I’m not solely watching the video honest...)

    Yeah the bright lighting is contributing a bit but it’s quite an old faded sunburst anyway. Here it is in normal conditions.

    The songs I couldn’t get away from 1987-1993 when I was a teenager, meeting likeminded musical mates and just starting playing in bands. Guns N Roses - Paradise City Extreme - Get the Funk Out Iron Maiden - The Trooper (ok this is from 1983 but I didn’t know about it until later)

    Just driven back thru appalling conditions on the M1 from playing a dep gig with a blues player called Ian Parker and his band at Diseworth Village Hall. Top bunch of people in the band, and a full house despite the weather. It was also my first gig using the Barefaced Big Twin 2 which certainly shifted some air. Sounded very different from my previous “big cab” (an Aguilar 410) but reassured by a couple of bassists in the audience that it was thumping out front, as it should be. P bass and thuddy fingerstyle all the way. My work is done.
