I have to tell you, competition is intense!

So when did Paul Merton join on guitar?

That'll be Dickson to you, sonny! (She's got a great bass player BTW!) We played a marquee gig in the garden of a palatial bungalow for someone's 80th birthday party. Fortunately the age range of the 100 assembled was 8-80 rather than solely septuagenarians! Resisted the temptation to throw the drums in the outside heated swimming pool. We were supported by a drag act (!) which did not please our smallminded singer at all. Still, even he warmed to the 'faggot' (not my word) in the end, but declined to take up my suggestion and ask him up for a duet. Funnily enough, we used to do 'Lola'... Then some geezer who looked like Boris Johnson came up and booked us for £800 to play his party in a fortnight. Guess who was the only band member who couldn't make it? And what's worse, I'm doing a charity gig gratis with my other band, so no chance whatsoever of getting out with any dignity! Still, that's the way the cookie sometimes crumbles

Chris sold me a bass - it was a good 'un and so is he! Buy with confidence; he is A1 in my book. M

PM'd

Looks fab! As a Precision player, how does it compare? I#m presuming that bridge gives better sustain?

2 hrs a week with my main band. We try to do 'homework' beforehand tho'

I have one. Bought on this very forum. Best £325 I have ever spent.

Bought strings - sent next day - perfect transaction!

The Stax stuff is available on DVD - I hae it! I wonder if Andi P lost his Ed after being told to do Duck a l'orange?

Bought his Jazz bass. He even parked my car (you have to see his road to understand!) so gets thumbs up from me!

The first album I bought was Every Picture Tells a Story. The second was A Nod's As Good As A WInk... They never improved on those. And they should never reform! It'll be like the uncle dancing at the wedding reception...several times over. Mind you if the Sun front page is to be believed Woody has no shame! Don't think he'll be updating that AWFUL book anytime soon.

Would seem likely! I learned all my bass playing from Man albums and now know them quite well...the people not the albums

Sarah, has the superglue worn off yet?
