Browsing through eBay and I found a couple of sets of strings by the same company, Bryce. After reading the front packaging I got to wondering " I wonder what's the difference". Then I realised that at about £6 a packet (remember you probably get what you pay for) I REALLY DON'T CARE ENOUGH TO OPEN THE AD. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-Bass-Guitar-4-String-Set-Light-040-Nickel-Alloy-by-Bryce/263440294745?epid=17013180526&hash=item3d5643e359:g:zLkAAOSwgsxaXfod https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-Bass-Guitar-4-String-Set-Light-040-Nickel-Alloy-by-Bryce/263440294792?epid=20013180624&hash=item3d5643e388:g:5iYAAOSwu6taXfof Anybody else?

Stand by your man - The Blues Brothers ( I know...)

There's a song title in there somewhere...

We'll just have to buy British - Wal, Overwater, Status, GB, ACG, Jaydee. Terrible!!

I'll be back to watch the link later. I love the user friendliness and the ergonomics of the M2000 - less fond of the L2000.

Yes, some people can't grasp that it's Song Title Word Association...

You must have been gutted - it looks peachy.

What we all want. No???

I disagree. I have loads of basses I wish I hadn't sold and could have back. VC Fretless Status Kingbass ACG Harlot SC GB Rumour '96 Musicman Ray Jaydee 11 Supernatural ...and I've no doubt that I'll regret selling my old green Overwater which I sold, bought back and sold again recently - even though it spend most of it's life in a case.

Crying in the chapel - Pelvis Resley

Pretty much unknown track by Depeche Mode, probably because David Gahan doesn't sing on it. Beautiful lyric IMO. I want somebody to share Share the rest of my life Share my innermost thoughts Know my intimate details Someone who'll stand by my side And give me support And in return She'll get my support She will listen to me When I want to speak About the world we live in And life in general Though my views may be wrong They may even be perverted She'll hear me out And won't easily be converted To my way of thinking In fact she'll often disagree But at the end of it all She will understand me Aaaahhhhh I want somebody who cares For me passionately With every thought and With every breath Someone who'll help me see things In a different light All the things I detest I will almost like I don't want to be tied To anyone's strings I'm carefully trying to steer clear of Those things But when I'm asleep I want somebody Who will put their arms around me And kiss me tenderly Though things like this Make me sick In a case like this I'll get away with it Aaaahhhhh

Billy Bragg is not fully acknowledged for the great lyrics he writes. Thanks for the above...

The choice of "good basses" in your price range is a probably the best it's ever been. As mention above, in "the good old days", "cheap" meant poorly made. Now you can pick up good basses for virtually nothing - the list is extensive - Revelation, HB, Yamaha, Sire, Squier, ad infinitum. If I was starting over again I too would be overwhelmed with what to buy - lots of recommendations for most of this gear - just a case of choosing one and jumping in.

Take on me - Aha

My Guy - Mary Wells

War - Edwin Starr

Groove is in the Heart - Deee-lite

The heads themselves aren't that heavy - 12-13kg? - get yourself some modern lightweight cabs are Robert's your auntie's live in lover. BTW, great amp....

Back in the late 80s we went to a Capital Radio Reggae Sunsplash event in Alexandra Palace. The artists - Ziggy Marley, Maxi Priest, et al, were using Simmons electronic drumkits - the technology was relatively new and not very reliable at that time. First artist came on and performed the full set however problems with the drumkits led to (roughly 45 minutes) delays with setting up the subsequent artists which led to their sets being around 15-25 minutes. Lots of unhappy punters and no suggestion of refunds. I think I still have the tickets in a safe place.

Blue Suede shoes - can't remember who sang it though...😉😉

Ridin on a train - The Pasadenas

Somebody must be watching this... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kramer-DMZ-4000-Bass-Guitar-With-Aluminium-Neck/293777369420?hash=item44667ee94c:g:v6sAAOSwCRVfgwk8

A classic line from Dean Friedman's Ariel I picked her up in my new VW van She wore a peasant blouse with nothing underneath I said "Hi", she said, "Yeah, I guess I am" Ariel, Ariel
