  1. Are you gonna go my way - Lenny Kravitz
  2. I have one which I prefer to any full size Ray that I've ever owned. They are so playable!! I'm actually waiting for a white pickup cover to arrive to keep the white theme throughout. GLWTS
  3. Tour de France - Kraftwerk
  4. Glad that Rob is on the mend. I have no interest in these new basses though. 🤢🤮
  5. Voulez vous - ABBA
  6. This doesn't work - problem with the jack socket requiring soldering - He states it won't work till this is done and you'll probably want to hear it before handing over any money. It's also grubby but he can't be rrrsed to do that. Oh, and he won't post it out. So to be sure it works OK you have to go round to his house, with your soldering iron - fix the jack socket, possibly replace the jack socket itself, clean the bass and fit a new set of strings. There is also an issue with some delamination. " To conclude, currently this can’t be plugged in and played via an amp, or audio device, it needs some tlc. But this vintage and rare beautiful shaped bass will be loved by any collector once it’s seen the love it needs by someone in the know or a local luthier." https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/404425334018?hash=item5e29a0dd02:g:UBEAAOSw069k0Bvz&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwGeXZyxEl7Q8XZ7mtGqXkQFv55DnvGGrvEWL6FvYk2YiDHmC4mx3nwjzCp9Qp%2BOEHQW%2F5jljz7GDIPC4F0bfNWwv9AraanIDIqrgBRebQojsrzZqSPIIAHaFe6AGvTNxZGjPzEanGLHxEsP%2BpxYNDqYtmarRDxiBPiVhO7CqOelz84EN70xft4pm1vTsitv9VefSZ6oWTCAL0n%2FsarT9YTRB5%2Fl5kJ9T6YCnCFwNDRSbcaNs0Hpc9LBu14soD5BTuw%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-zPneG6Yg I'm not sure if this is the same model/ bass which sold on ebay a couple of years ago for significantly less. Being sold by one of those Manchester scallywags....😉😉
  7. My first bass was a Westone Thunder 1A. I remember thinking they were the best thing since sliced bread...ah, those were the days. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134678698600?hash=item1f5b79da68:g:mTsAAOSwqnVkw8FR&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwE3gclNUeAHvS%2BLPe0r7GCpsBebVmQM%2F2BIywYBwnGvY9c5dd4jusIapWxZr09ReBly30ZxuZfR7ALXZjUpJGegxhEMAFk70Z5uYI3c0MkXBdO4CZgLNj2idHlJUzJdHxuOKQkPbknR4Kmh2CG4e7i6OutJHkfG2J5%2BxJ2p89bed7tHkV1cEhzq9gCGCKgPba%2BpLCngUksxFfjnrNBOWde76oHE9H1MxHkp%2FyfmGxgZRIhzFhtE8tvnCjGOshagJqA%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-SB5-C6Yg
  8. Isn't it the case that moving pianos makes them go out of tune? How much does it cost to have one tuned?
  9. A bomb in Wardour Street - The Jam
  10. Agent orange - Tori Amos
  11. I have the Funky bass book - a good read IIRC. Pretty sure that I paid more than £2 (what can you get for £2 nowadays?).
  12. Madness...madness I say!!! This is an absolute steal at this price. There's one on ebay currently for £800 which is still a fair price for a bass of this quality. If I didn't already have one I'd be all over this. In fact, I paid more than this for my fretted. Come on people, it's £550 not your first born. Could be your best buy of the year.
  13. Smalltown boy - Bronski Beat
  14. All stand together - McCartney and the Frog Chorus
  15. Just one more day - Otis Redding
  16. Push comes to shove(l) - Freddie McGregor
  17. Can you feel it - Jackson 5
  18. Always and forever- Heatwave
  19. Ideal for getting one back on the neighbours with noisy kids.
  20. I never really considered these as "real" Trace Elliots even though they did have one thing in common with your full cream milk TEs - weight!! For a small practice amp they don't half weigh something.
  21. My late sister was in a care home for the last 10 years of her life which had a fella come in and do Brat Pack, Nat King Cole, Andy Williams, etc. You might find a few classics on these.. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Music-Watch-Girls-Various/dp/B00000JP1J https://www.amazon.co.uk/Music-Watch-Girls-Various-Artists/dp/B00002R0W2/ref=pd_bxgy_sccl_1/257-5527647-3643221?pd_rd_w=bkYoW&content-id=amzn1.sym.40f919ed-e530-4b1a-8d7e-39de6587208d&pf_rd_p=40f919ed-e530-4b1a-8d7e-39de6587208d&pf_rd_r=45MGYG5J4E2JKNE5YPYP&pd_rd_wg=IyBIS&pd_rd_r=d30e7344-8557-4051-b47d-b6bf7d0e32e0&pd_rd_i=B00002R0W2&psc=1
  22. What is worse is when there are more than one version of the same band touring simultaneously. Lots of examples - I watched the documentary on the Bay City Rollers recently which stated that at one time there were 3 different versions of the band on tour at one stage (coincidently one was booked for a company do by one of my neighbours).
  23. Happy talk - Captain Sensible
  24. The Shoop shoop song - Cher
  25. The more I see these (two now) the more I like them. GLWTS
