  1. When I last shipped a Trace Elliot combo I covered the grill / controls with a hefty piece of cardboard then wrapped the whole package in more cardboard. Remember to write the weight on the box so anybody handling it knows it's heavy. Not that expensive to courier.
  2. @ChWillie...Nice dog.
  3. Catchafire - Bob Marley &
  4. Blue Moon - The Marcels
  5. I recently paid £57 for a set of tapewounds. No 5 string sets available at the time so had to go for a 4 string plus a single. The 4 string set were £43 and a single 5th string was £8 - then there was the P&P. Now available on Amazon and eBay for around £50 Thomann are the cheapest site but are charging £19 delivery Earlier this year I think I paid £39 to my door. When I could buy them from Status Graphite they were soo cheap that it was like buying steels from a shop. Ah, those were the days...and reminiscing was so much better then too.
  6. Mine is arthritis - hands and elbows mostly - just have to play in moderation.
  7. Club Tropicana - me cousin George and some other fella...
  8. One in ten - UB40
  9. I beg your pardon (I didn't promise you a rose garden) - Lynn Anderson
  10. Whole lot of love - LZ
  11. I credit @pedwith the "invention" of finger puppet tuners. If anybody else takes credit we should support our leader in any court action he might choose to take.

  13. Ramps are like those finger puppet things that @ped has on his tuners...seem like a good idea for a while but then you realise that they're superfluous. Remember eye lashes on little cars?
  14. I get confused on this thread. Sometimes it feels like not everybody knows the rules on this thread. From the opening post : Post a song title that relates / makes sense from the immediately previous one. Artists name in brackets. I'll start the ball rolling. if it kills me (therapy?)
  15. When will I see you again - 3 Degrees
  16. Waterfront - Simple Minds

  19. A slightly sadder place tonight after losing to Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup. Oh dear...

  21. Killing me softly - Roberta Flack
  22. Don't you mean "Waiting for some grain" - Flash & the Pan

  25. I've become a bit of a Yamaha fan recently. I have three 5ers, a BB615, a BBG5S and a TRB1005J - all punch well above their price tag. I don't understand why this bass, near top of the range, amazing build quality, high end everything, is advertised at this low, low price. If Fender built basses of this quality they'd sell for an extra £2k. Looking for a high end bass for not much? This is that bass. GLWTS.
