  1. "Seller does not accept returns" So he doesn't want it back...
  2. Working for the Yankee Dollar - The Skids
  3. At this price who doesn't... Space may be infinite but I only have a one bed flat. GLWTS
  4. No room in my storage space otherwise I'd have these. A bargain for somebody.
  5. Save a prayer - Duran x2
  6. The article states that Macca is really happy to get the bass back. I wonder what that equates to as a "reward" in pounds and pence.
  7. You're lying - Lynx
  8. Personally I think it's important to learn your major and minor scales. This will help you build bass lines and improvise. You will also "find" riffs that you recognise which, in turn, will help you develop your own style. Perseverance is important when you are learning anything. Think of learning bass like juggling - neither will come to you if you don't persevere or practice.
  9. Doctor! Doctor! - Thompson Twins
  10. Welcome back Marco. I was involved in the Bass Passaround. Nice bass if I remember rightly... Be good to see some more of your builds.
  11. Rough justice - Rolling Stones
  12. Putter don't preach - Mad Donna
  13. Claws - Charli XCX
  14. Sycamore, more, more - Andrea True Connection
  15. Apologies...I stand corrected House of the rising sun- The Animals (again)
  16. Grandad - St Winifreds School Choir
  17. Glad that this was resolved amicably. Good to know that at least the members here can sort things out without recriminations. Great bunch of people.
  18. Fixed Turning Japanese - The Vapors
  19. It's a sin - Pet Shop Boys
  20. You're The First, The Last, My Everything - Barry White
  21. G&L are another of those companies building basses which play well above their price point. Leo wasn't lying when he said these were some of the best basses he'd ever built.
  22. I love this body shape - I have 2 TRB1005 basses, so well balanced - joy to play. There's a blue 5er on Gumtree at the moment for £500, along with a 614, a 615 and a 1025x at reasonable prices.
  23. One day I'll fly(tip) away - Randy Crawford
  24. West End girls - Pet Shop Boys
  25. In years gone by I thought I would have loved to have been a Pro bassist. Obviously there have to be sacrifices - relationships seem to take a beating. Arguments with Record companies, getting ripped off by managers and ending up hating your band mates all seem commonplace. Fame and fortune are fleeting, and it must be really grating to others to hear "don't you know who I am". Most of us play because we love to. When it becomes a job that must suffer. So given the opportunity who would have been a Pro player as a career?
