Yes, I thought he was very analytical, along with Glenn Matlock who was citing his Jamerson influence in Anarchy in the UK.

No, I did. It was my cock.

Rang Jon today - he's got the board off and he's sending me photos of various pieces of macassar ebony in the next day or two.

Presumably whoever is selling it on Gumtree would know.

Could be that they restocked greens and blacks at different times, and the wholesale cost had changed in the meantime.

Seems rather odd as when I bought mine (second-hand), the new prices were identical for green and black.

Ublock Origin is now obsolete but there's Ublock Origin Lite which I use (in my case, with Chrome, and I also use Ghostery and Stands adblocker).

Not really necessary if you're not putting cab corners on, although I suspect that rounding the edges would make them a little less prone to damage. If you are putting cab corners on, they need to be flush with the faces so rounded edges are a must.

Nah, you want Lexan. If it's good enough for the Robot Wars arena, it'll stand up to anything.

PS. Mani puts in a few appearances.

Square window every time. But then I would say that, as the toy under it is the same as my Chinese zodiac sign - a cock.

Just watched the first episode. Would have been better titled "A history of Peter Hook with occasional talk about other bassists, and other bassists talking about Peter Hook." The bit with Glenn Matlock talking about Anarchy in the UK, which was in fact split into two bits so the second part could be shoehorned into a bit on James Jamerson (he must have got all of two minutes), was interesting. There were a few other interesting bits, but it was 45 minutes about Hooky going on about his personal history and Love will tear us apart, and 15 minutes about basslines. Where a bit of analysis was squeezed in, by people like Glenn Matlock, Guy Pratt, and Adam Clayton, it was rather more revealing, but there wasn't a lot of that. I'd wait for the highlights programme to come out.

My opinion. He has written a few good songs, rather like Only Fools and Horses had a few funny moments. Mostly just twee dross though. This is, of course, my opinion, and therefore cannot be wrong, although you may have an opposing opinion, which also cannot be wrong because it's your opinion. Neither, however, is an objective fact, unlike Only Fools and Horse only having a few funny moments.

That's just your opinion.

Busy night for me - last time, a guitarist I've played with before at a different open mic turned up with a drummer friend who hadn't played live for years and we did about half a dozen songs. The drummer turned up again this evening and sat in with one of the regulars while I played bass. I'd made notes, having been slightly forewarned, but everything was two semitones down, fortunately not complicated songs (Stick season, Shotgun, Somewhere under the sun). Then played with another regular who always does the same three songs (a blues in E, Folsom Prison blues, Knocking on heaven's door), and then got recruited by another duo of drums and guitar/vox to play Route 66, Amarillo (hadn't played that for about 20 years), and Ventura Highway (new one on me). And a guitarist I've played with a few times before asked me to have a look at a couple of songs for some future occasion.

And despite repeated pestering, there's no sign that it ever will (also doesn't work with the MS-plus series). There is a patch manager available that works through a browser at https://sym.bios.is/

If the port is 11.15mm long, surely that means it will be shorter than the thickness of the cab (assuming 12mm ply).

Most of the time, it's personal opinion. There are very few objective absolutes. I thin we can all agree that Mrs Brown's Boys is execrable unfunny rubbish though.

If it is the same one, there's not much of a profit there. £11.32, to be exact. Cost including 26.4% hammer fee, £783.68. It may be an optical illusion, but it looks as if the switch is orientated at 90 degrees to the one on Gumtree.

Coldplay are brilliant. Prince is shit. Precision basses are crap.

I've been B (nothing wrong with my playing, C was a friend of A and D who were brothers and ran the band and he decided he wanted to be in the band). E and F weren't happy with the way it was done (they told me there were no rehearsals for a few weeks - there were, but not with me). Eventually F told me. It wasn't very nice. Eventually it was water under the bridge and a few years later I depped for them, but a while later they asked me to rejoin and I turned them down - largely because they'd turned out to be a load of racist bastards.

aka "Get your foot off my f*cking monitor".

Even easier, have headless basses with the truss rod adjuster exposed at the unheadstock end (Sei, Hohner).

I raised a dispute several days ago. Return was accepted. Haven't had a chance to get to the post office yet but they're all wrapped up ready to go. Also, the occasional dodgy item that I've bought from Aliexpress has been refunded very quickly and easily (refunds have come as soon as I've posted the return, which is to a UK address, doesn't even take until the return has arrived at the return address). I currently have 8 basses hanging off Hercules wall hangers. I think they've proved pretty reliable.
