miles'tone

Me too. Unfortunately it was 1993 so no smart phones and everyone was too poor to own a camera. Also it was in the roughest pub in Rhyl that was full of all the types that were barred from everywhere else. I remember thinking at the time that we could actually die tonight! We opened with a fast cocktail jazz rendition of the Star Wars theme and everyone rushed towards the stage. I was actually shocked that they didn't attack us but instead, everyone stated cheering and freaky dancing with huge grins and laughter. They got it. It was right there that the power of music and spectacle was revealed to me. We quickly followed with our turbo flamenco number, El Gringo - Master Of The Bingo. I also realise that some things are best remembered simply in our memories! 😂

21. 2 years after I first started learning. The Magnificent Flying Sorcerers - original band playing Welsh flamenco cocktail jazz with a reggae twist. Dressed as little grey aliens in boiler suits. Except we were all tall and painted blue. With halved ping pong ball eyes held on with elastic that slowly tried to suck out our eyeballs as the set progressed. I still can't fathom why we didn't make it.

Only Eduardo Sanchez knew what he was thinking at the time 🤔 🤷‍♂️

Extra Shim required 😄

I meant natural wood and graphite necks matched together btw. It's like the past and the future existing in the same place. It breaks time captain.

Niiiice! If it was my bass I'd leave the Moses neck and the pickguard as is and do the body in bright Lamborghini orange. Natural wood finish bodies and graphite necks visually don't work for me. But hey I'm not you.

The bass looks fabulous and legit to me. Not sure I trust the seller though. As always, I could be completely wrong!

Suspicious of the ad but enjoying the pics all the same! 😄 Costs nothing to look thankfully.

0% feedback rating despite lots of apparent positive purchases though...🤔

At least it getting away was through no fault of your own 👊

They have loads of albums it seems! Which one?

I did. I used a Schaller magnetic pickup, the chrome one that you screw on the end of the fingerboard. Did the job. I use synthetic guts now so my bass sports a Shadow bridge pickup instead.

Still over my head sorry 😞

😆 love it! Appropriately, I've just sold my actual 58 year old bass and currently on the search for the right new one. Any chance this could work in reverse? Hoping my mental faculties might undergo a spot of 'tasteful restoration'? Not holding my breath...

Mine comes from the username I thought up when I joined Talkbass many years ago. My middle name is actually Miles and I was really into the Miles Davis album Milestones when I started learning upright. So, miles'tone = tone of Miles (me, not him) because no matter what kind of bass guitar I play, I always sound inescapably like me. Saying that, this hasn't stopped me from spending a small fortune by ignoring the evidence whilst trying unsuccessfully to disprove the theory! 😂

Some mysteries are best left to the imagination I suppose...

I'm dying to know why you're Waddo Soqable...spill the beans! (please)

You should offer a relicing service on here.

Chantilly? Surely that would be a Big Bopper Cuppa? 😉

I thought he couldn't get anything other than sunburst so thought it was a different brand...just re-read...I'm too tired, time to get off the Internet...Miles out.

What make is that? Nice colour.

I do love a happy ending 👍
