  1. Excellent choice. Had forgotten about it. Don't think it was originally written as a Xmas song but it fits the time of year so well. Dave
  2. Perhaps he sold it because he was ill and not able to play anymore. I guess we'll never know and it will be one of life's little mysteries. Dave
  3. Think i'd be inclined to sell it back for no profit but i did ask myself why she wants it back if he had already decided to sell it anyway. Curious. Dave
  4. Sorry guys but had to share this one to cheer you all up on Xmas day. https://fb.watch/29TP2RWgO1/
  5. Love playing Jim Lea bassline to that song. Some really nice wee runs in it. Have fun and hopefully we'll see some pics or vids on here. All the best and i am not jealous in any way at all........honest i really am not jealous at all.........I SAID NOT AT ALL. Just kidding of course..............no i'm not. Dave🎅
  6. Must admit i don't find him that extreme. i think he was grossly over-played when he first came out and it put me off Simply Red back then but some songs i just like. Would never buy them tho. I like the Greg Lake song too. So many great Xmas songs that i have them on a playlist just ready for Xmas day including all the old classics like Dean Martin and Bing Crosby thru to Slade and Roy Wood but then again i just love Xmas. I know that's sad for someone my age who doesn't have kids but i guess i've just never grown up. 😂🎅 Dave
  7. Somethong a little more slow and soppy.
  8. Brilliant not heard it before but certainly made me laugh this morning. 😂
  9. Always this one
  10. Not a huge fan of his but i do like this Xmas song. Dave
  11. Got a few
  12. Here's hoping we can see some good come from this. Dave
  13. Met Tony Reeves at a demo of Burns Basses. It was around 1980 and they had just released the Burns Scorpion basses. He was absolutely amazing and really into talking bass things with people. I was already a Greenslade fan before meeting him so that made my day.
  14. played that on a fretless P bass back in 82. Great song to play. Would love to do more songs like that but can't get musicians interested enough. Have fun. Dave
  15. Just ordered from Amazon. Had it on my wish list and totally forgot it was there until now and after reading the reviews i'm really looking forward to it. Dave
  16. Love the look of that Dave. The Panther was the first Sandberg i ever looked at in Bass Direct oddly enough. Thought it would have gone long ago. GLWTS Dave
  17. Well deserved too.
  18. That's the way to do it. Be patient and get it right at slow speed then work your way up. Excellent. Dave
  19. He does and its the only bass i've seen him with recently
  20. Apologies i just saw your budget circa £50 so that rules out my earlier suggestion of the Beyer Dynamic DT770 Pro. Dave
  21. Went thru same last year when my old Sennheiser HD280's started to fall apart with age. Read lots of reviews and finally decided on Beyer Dynamic DT770 PRO. I found them to have a clearer or sharper bottom end without losing the depth of bass. It means i can hear the bass far more clearly than the old Senns which had a little bit more boom (i use that word very lightly as the Senns have been great headphones for many many years but it best describes what i'm talking about.) Overall sound quality is far superior to my old Senns. The DT770 PRO's are far lighter and more comfortable on my head. Headband is tighter but not uncomfortable. I use them mostly with my laptop but occasionally with Hifi separates. One other thing i found was a great bonus was the covering on the earpieces is far nicer on the ear if wearing for long periods. The Senns had "leather" type material whereas the BD's have a softer fabric material With a bit of searching you can get them at a decent price too (currently £109 on Idealo to £135 on Amazon) I went for the 80 ohm version. I bought them from Amazon as they have a better return if i don't like them or something not quite right with them. To be fair i can't fault them Dave
  22. Didn't like to bother him on FB but i thought i would give it a shot. Dave
  23. This was on another topic but i just couldn't find it. This was the bass i queried before. Any idea what it is or is it a hybrid bass put together at Neil's request. I know he had a P bass with a MM fitted between P pick up and bridge but this looks like 2 humbucker style pick ups with either an early P neck or a Tele neck.
  24. That's definitely a bit of an epic. Some amazingly nice bass lines in there. Used to really enjoy playing along with this kind of jazz fusion music in late 70's / early 80's. Thanks for sharing Rob. Dave
  25. You talking to me ?
