Thinking of you - Sister Sledge

I don't envisage him gigging for a while so he probably won't have to move it often. Also, the solid tonal palette from the Trace Elliot should give him the incentive to play. A piddly little amp won't do that.

Interesting looking decals. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145438470780?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lXCpZVPLSMy&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=3arTyUkpQE-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I've just been browsing on Gumtree and for £225 you can have a Trace Elliot combo and a Yamaha BB4. Both great vfm. Can't post the links using my phone though

No truer truism for this - buy cheap, buy twice. I'd avoid a bass starter pack - the amplifiers will be under powered and lack tone which will have a negative impact on your motivation. Lots of decent amps producing 50w plus or keep your eyes open for a Trace Elliot BLX80 or 130 combo. Both much louder than the numbers suggest. They can turn up for £100 - probably the best money you'll ever spend. Lots of good advice about entry level basses above - I'd also add Yamaha BBG4 - I picked one up for under £100. Lot of bass for not much money. If you're in the Herts area you're welcome to pop round and try some gear.

Bob the builder - CBeebies

Ooops...thought that I'd left feedback I bought a 3u rack case from Mike at the SE Bash - really easy transaction. We all know that Mike's a diamond - trade with absolute confidence.

(I did it) My way - Ole Blue eyes hisself

Long shot kick the bucket - The Pioneers

It took me about 5 ventures into 5 string before I actually found my way. Persistence is an important factor IMO.

Someone somewhere in summertime - Simple Minds

Living on a prayer - Jon Bovi

Master blaster jamming- Stevie Wonder

Hooked on you - sweet sensation

I've been expecting nominations for "Stairway to Heaven" and "Bohemian Rhapsody". Not a fan of either TBH though I appreciate the musicianship involved - why do both feature on the Greatest songs of all time lists?

She works hard for the money - Donna Summer

Nice bass - hope you get it sorted 👍

Is there a relationship between mediocrity and mass appeal?
