  1. He was a brilliant bass player - shame that he wasn't more well known. He was a great role model - what many of us aspire to. A real loss to the Bass community.
  2. I was looking through some old posts and came across photos of the Elwray Infinga bass - the builder sent it to me and it went round amongst the BC Community for road testing and comments. Got me wondering - does anybody know what happened to the Bass. I can't recall when the builder , Marco Elwray, last posted. More photos here: https://bassclef141.wordpress.com/2018/10/26/basschat-south-east-bash-2018/
  3. Ah...that's the one I remembered.
  4. I currently have a trapped nerve in my neck which sends a shooting pain down my left side...again a bad posture condition. As I'm getting older I'm finding that more things are going wrong with me...
  5. I have an SB2 - very impressed - especially as the fella I bought it from complained that there is no tone knob. Takes a bit of getting used to but once "mastered" it seems completely natural.
  6. Only women bleed - Lita Ford ( remembered the song , had to look up the artist)
  7. Mary of the fourth form - Boomtown Rats
  8. Thread revival....anybody have any input?
  9. Waiting for my recently acquired 55-01 Skyline to arrive. Historically I haven't got on with 5ers but I'm committed to persevering this time.....or I'll be looking for a trade for a 4 string. Is there a consensus regarding the 01-v-02?
  10. I sent an email with a query about the Rosewood fretboard on my recent purchase and Brian came back to me with 15mins. Very helpful.
  11. There's currently one on Gumtree for sale for £695 https://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/ibanez-ehb1000-headless-bass-guitar/1386945218?utm_source=savedsearches&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=GT.TRIGGER.SA&utm_content=none&utm_source=salesforce&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Search_Alert&utm_content=EMAIL_ALERTS_MULTI_TRACK_NONMARKETING
  12. Man in the long black coat - Mr $300m Dylan
  13. Just placed an order at G4M for a set of Warwick Red label 5er strings. Ridiculously priced at £12-ish - not inc P&P. Hunted high and low for set - there under my nose.
  14. Just sold one - still have one "just in case" - great little pedals (and well priced). GLWTS
  15. Just bought a Lakland 55-01. Guaranteed a 44-02 will come up for sale in the next few days.

      The 55-01 is a great bass, sure you'll have plenty of fun with it!

  21. 24 seconds....picking your nose isn't endearing...

  23. I've just bought a bass where the body colour has seen better days. I contacted the manufacturers for some advice on revitalising the colour and was directed to this: Player's Kit Guitar Polish and Scratch Remover by Eternashine, with Cloth https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Player's+Kit+Guitar+Polish+and+Scratch+Remover+by+Eternashine%2C+with+Cloth&ref=nb_sb_noss Now is this just expensive T-Cut or am I missing something? Any advice on alternatives?
  24. I had one for a while - before taking cash out of your wallet have a read-up. Apparently there was a problem with the active pick ups and pre-amp which resulted in Fender stopping production.
  25. Knockin on Heaven's Door - Bob $300,000,000 Dylan
