The price has gone up now, from £15 to £17, plus booking fee puts it nearly £20! I should have got mine earlier.

It was Andys wasn't it? There, I,ve said it for you, and on here in public. Let them sue me!

What was the shop that ignored you?

Anyone play the compulsary cheesy classics last night?[list] [*]Hi Ho Silver Lining [*]Sweet Caroline [*]Dance The Night Away [*]Achey Brakey Heart [*]Shake Rattle & Roll [*]Mustang Sally [*]Brown Eyed Girl [/list] I actually played two songs which I never played before. My Way and Fly Me To The Moon. Excellent songs for on the spot bluffing!!

I was also on the A12 in Essex, in Rayleigh, a bit of a trek from Harrow, but a great night with some cheesy classics thrown in!!

Yes I agree, Bruce Foxton is the main reason I took up bass. His playing on the setting sons album is amazing!!

And one more http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jESRQDzqVdc

How many bassists use the same line (or a variation of it) on more than one song? The jams Bruce Foxton has used this pattern in three songs. See if you can spot them. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwqwkFAci-U[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI8AOkbfgNE[/media]

I,ve got a rucksuck full of cables and assorted gubbins. The most important thing being a holder that clips to my mike stand that I keep my pint in!!

Apart from the re finish, it looks in good nick. I presume its all original too!

The Beatles - Eight Days A Week, with a lovely walking bass by Macca. Funny, I always thought this was a single!

I cant play if the action is too low, plus you lose some volume too. I play quite hard so I like it a bit on the high side (about 4mm) However, the opposite is true on my Telecaster which is set quite low indeed!

SD SPB3 pickups I believe. Maybe it was converted to active in a previous life which resulted in the jack socket being moved so as to free up more space under the pickguard for all the extra gubbins??

The Pretenders - Kid Just C Am F G with a subtle Key change to E Walking bass heaven for me! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyCbkI9EgEA

Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas I think i,ll get my Phil Spector Xmas album out, which is rather ironic seeing as Phil Spectors not getting out!!

That is awesome!!

I didnt want the strings anyway!

Another vote for JJB and Foxton. Also Macca.after hearing Sgt Pepper for the first time!

I bet MDP is watching that!!
