Bass & drums saves the day as always. Dave

Some sound samples would be good John or i could just come along to your Glasgow gig on 26th Mar. Dave

I had their first 8 string Shergold. I requested it as a twin neck with a 4 string. They had never made one before so they use their 6 string bass as a template for the 8 string neck. Think this is the only pic i have circa 1980 ish. I did actually see it for sale on Gumtree and when i contacted the seller to say i was the original owner he took it off Gumtree. Maybe he had stolen it.

Yep i have the 4 string version of that bass.

Post a wee pic of your Staccato. Love those basses ever since seeing Parker playing Blackdog many moons ago

Was def meant well but on hindsight didn't come out that way I've never met or known anyone that does that kind of thing hence the surprise..............honest Dave

Navy to electronics to a defence solicitor. Your career has gone right downhill @Spaceman Dave

Have to admit this thread has turned out to be more fascinating and interesting than i anticipated. Thanks for everyone for joining in. Now we all know a little bit more about each other. Brilliant Dave

Fascinating stuff. I've had a few conversations with you on BC and would never have guessed that was your Daytime job. Please don't take that the wrong way it was meant with the greatest respect @mcnach Dave

WD40 give it a few minutes and wipe clean. Right as rain.

Is it not more a case of they stick together and dont want to fraternise with the natives. Having known a few police officers over the years they did all tend to socialise together rather than meet up with outsiders in the pub even as young men we noticed that. I just assumed they were told not to be too friendly with non-officers in case of being led astray or other such suspect possibilities. I can also see by your avatar that you do indulge in the water of life. A man after my own heart sir altho not so much the peaty type stuff. Dave

I always thought you were full time musician or bass shop. Dave

Another quite unusual and differing career path @BassTractor. Sorry about the stroke and burn-out but i could see why in certain jobs the stress can be over-whelming. If creating a 2nd Universe please let me know as i reckon i could jump on board. I have the Hitch Hikers Guide which will help us along the way. At the end of the day we all have BC to fall back on for some support and a blether or even a basschat. Always around for anyone that needs a wee chat. Dave

Fair bit of jumping around between high techy stuff to delivery boy / man. Seems to be up and down a lot on career ladders. With regards the Teebs thing i can see where that comes from. The Teebs things does continue to make me laugh.............a awful lot so keep that up. Dave

Ready to go on-stage Fri night. That's me at the back.

Awfy serious there Blue Dave

As a teenager i always wanted to be an Air Traffic Controller and even looked at RAF to do it but was talked out of it by my Dad who was a Navy man and dn't want me in the services. I did OK tho so no regrets Dave

That's an interesting career. Bet there's a few good stories from that little lot.

I've ran out of reactions for today and its only 10am

You do have us on BC to cheer you up. Dave

I have visions of this now. Handling the internet

And Emoji presenter

Do you play more gigs with Double Bass than Electric Bass. ?

What exactly do you do. ?
