  1. I've heard that said before. Here's the new acquisition
  2. Back in the Spector family after trading in a Spector Performer 5 string... Photos to follow...
  3. Dancin in the street - Martha and the Vandellas
  4. Watching the tracking info on the PF website for a bass to arrive at my local (1m) depot so I can go and collect rather than wait another day.

    Reminds me of a Bob Marley track....

      I did not know you could do that!? So as soon as it says it's 'at the local depot'... you can just go and get it???

      I'm assuming so - my depot is about a mile away and a number of my friends work there so if ID isn't enough....

      Fortunately it arrived bright and early (8.30) delivered by somebody I went to school with.

      "I did not know you could do that!? So as soon as it says it's 'at the local depot'... you can just go and get it???"

      Not a good idea unfortunately - the drivers will be in the depot loading their vans from 6.00 am, the tracking might well show that your bass is at the local depot, but within an hour or so, once loaded onto a route the bass will stay on the van until an attempted delivery is made.

      If you are now at the depot trying to collect your bass while at the same time the driver is at your address ringing your doorbell.... well you can see how this ends ☹️

       

       

  5. Good to hear positive reports about the RBX range. I did a couple of trades recently with a fella who bought one for Reggae - he wasn't happy. I suggested changing the strings - he believed the strings were SS but wasn't aware they are probably the brightest option (except maybe the EBS Titanium). Haven't spoken to him for a few weeks to see if his opinion has changed. Glad you're happy - there are lots of Yamaha fans here.
  6. @AndyTravis was also looking for a set - no idea if he found them...
  7. I live in Herts - been done to death... Not too far for me but I don't know this model. Why is it such a bargain??
  8. I've seen Sly & Robbie many times - Sly Dunbar often goes off on a tangent but keeps the riddim going. Must be those French cigarettes.
  9. This is Margaret Thatcher https://vrcpitbull.com/dogs/margaret-thatcher/
  10. That's a nice looking bass...good variety of tones . I know nothing about the brand which may be the case with other BCers hence the lack of interest. If you can afford to keep it, I would.

    Reminds me of a drawing by a 9 year old kid...
  12. Walking wounded - Everything but the girl
  13. Reference to the Japan track "Gentlemen take Polaroids"??
  14. Babylon is Burning by The Ruts I believe the original uses a pick - I don't so playing it at speed means that I inevitably f*ck up.
  15. Going to a go-go - The Rolling Stones et al
