Rayman

Similar, except Mrs Rayman is asleep….. so I’m thinking bollocks rather than saying it out loud (and looking at basses I can’t afford while she can’t see)

Still with Richard Venom?

New material?

That’s a decent view….

“Custom build, one of a kind” - means a failed attempt at building your first bass out of the leftover shards of uncle Jeff’s wardrobe shortly before he fly tipped it in a lay-by just outside of Norwich.

Bored basically…… while looking through BC for sale ads

No photos?? Now drinking terrible whisky watching Abandoned World Explorer….

I wouldn’t want to go through your drawers

That…. is an Ibanez Jet King….. via a Line 6 Studio 110. Playing some trip hop.

Yep, ordered the Wilkinsons, and actually the original screw holes should be covered, so just case of new pilot holes.

It’s depressing isn’t it. Now they ARE the Masters of puppets.

Ok well I’m waiting for a Pacific Blue one from Andertons….. the order has been delayed again until May, so they’re obviously popular. I’ll report back…

I was a fan too…. I saw them back in the day, on the black album tour with Newsted….. they were amazing….. I actually loved Load, but now, they’re polished, main stream and irrelevant. They’re like Depeche Mode, Taylor Swift ….. etc etc….. all just part of the machine. I mean, I’m old…. but I’m bored to death with what’s going on in music…. It’s all so safe and dull….. and Metallica are steering the ship. Yawn……

The aforementioned (from a few posts ago) Columbus Jazz was from a “named” band. Used by the bass player from said band on a number of gigs and recordings back in the day (bear in mind this was seen as a selling point). That band had one very minor chart “hit” in the UK. It didn’t change the fact that the bass was still a budget model from the 70s, and the “famous” connection didn’t add to its modest value.

That’s another classic

That’s another one….. a guy said that to me recently while trying to sell me a Columbus Jazz posing as a future classic.

Me too…. That’s how I know them 😆

“ I don’t know anything about anything” (jazz hands up in front of him) “if there’s anything wrong with this thing, don’t blame me, because I don’t know anything”.

The things sellers say either in the ad or when you arrive to collect the bass: 1: “I’ve never touched the truss rod” - means; I’ve ragged the truss rod to the max and stripped the nut. 2: “it hasn’t been played in years” - means; It’s knackered. 3: “I’m not a bass player” - means; It’s Knackered. 4: “selling it for a friend “ - means; it’s knackered. 5: “I just want it to be used/to go to a good home - means; it’s knackered.

I typed in burning witches……

a lot of whiches there
