Welcome @mudsprout It would be hypocritical of me to advise you to stick to just one bass - I currently own around 12 (no, I'm not going to do a mental count!!). Find something you're happy with, join in the conversations here, develop your skills and enjoy.

Not nostalgia - it was probably true!!! If you were happy with your previous TE why not go with another respected, British built, brand with excellent customer service? Loads of people have already recommended Ashdown - designed and built by the same team as your TE - great tonal packages, lightweight and generally reliable. Can't remember when I heard of one going down. If you ever have any problems they are members here, @Ashdown Engineering, and Guy and the team will work with you to resolve any issues you might have. You can't go wrong!! My next new amp will definitely be an Ashdown.

Sad to hear that the COVID has again impacted on, what is generally, a great day out. I'd love to attend, however I appreciate people's reservations. Seen you all in 2022 hopefully.

Possibly a reflection of how mental health services have failed, not only the "ordinary man/ woman", but also those who become high profile cases known to the public at large, and the consequences of mental health issues. The tale of Syd Barrett is the sad paradigm that encapsulates the great triumphs and underscoring tribulations that defined the golden age of music. https://faroutmagazine-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/faroutmagazine.co.uk/the-life-of-pink-floyds-syd-barrett-and-sixties-dark-side/?amp=&amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a6&usqp=mq331AQIKAGwASCAAgM%3D#ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Ffaroutmagazine.co.uk%2Fthe-life-of-pink-floyds-syd-barrett-and-sixties-dark-side%2F
