TheGreek

All I want for Xmas is my two front teeth - Nat King Cole (apparently)

The Good life - Tony Bennett (and others)

...but that would require some commitment to developing the brand - not sure that Peavey are doing that.

New to the 5 string bass but that hasn't stopped the GAS or impulse buying.

My 5ers

I agree...the dysfunctional family behaviour being aired in front of millions may not have been a good idea...

Running on the spot - The Jam

My third 5er arrived earlier (me...an impulse buyer??? Who told you that??) - this is a Sire MM 5er - weighs in at just over 5kg and suffers from the worst neck dive I've ever encountered. Not something that I'd heard associated with Sires - is this unusual? Nice tonal package though (for a Jazz) - strange knob layout (oo err!!) I'll get some photos done shortly.

Midnight at the Oasis - BNH (that Andrew Levy can play...)

Five to one - The Doors

Orange County Choppers - "We can do the impossible - it just costs more..."

Pretty much sounds the same as my journey...

Collection of my recent purchase was delayed because the truck couldn't navigate the hill - there is no facking hill!!

Bad girls - Donna Summer

Is that how much firewood costs nowadays?

Lots of criticism of how Gibson/ Peavey have managed the TE takeover and rightly so IMO. TE was a market leader till it was sold and left to wither away. From the ashes of TE came Ashdown who took the design, invested in it and moved it into the 21st Century. Look at their range - loads of proper quality and diversity. Also you're getting what is arguably the best Customer Service of any manufacturer. As a long time lover of TE (and not just the slap tone) I think it's a disgrace how TE has been mismanaged and neglected since control left the UK. I had this very conversation with Paul Stevens at LBGS - he left shortly after to join Blackstar because of the lack of commitment to the brand. It's implied that TE fans are just reminiscing - I'm not - I want a modern day TE with the brand's legendary quality which lives up to the name and reputation of the classic, world beating stuff and TBH the only place I believe this is available in 2021 is ASHDOWN!!! The talk of how good the Elf is disgusts me - it's a pitiful excuse for an amp wearing the TE label - 200w?? Where are the proper models? The 350 and 500w models? If there was any commitment to rebuilding the brand they would have been in the pipeline when the 200w was released - what have we seen since? NOTHING!!! Maybe TE is only going to be remembered by a group of 40+ old men - in the same way as other classics - Levi jeans, Indian and Triumph Motorcycles - if so let it die being what is was....a world beating legend - not some two bob imitator or tatt!!!

Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (inevitably) - The Beatles comes as no surprise to anybody...

Must be the snow....🤔

Scary just thinking about it... I'll watch through my fingers...

Laurence is a top fella, lives not far from me. He came to several of the Herts Bass Bashes...

Too many broken hearts - Jason Donovan (real rock'n'roll!!)
