    I’ve had tickets to see the Zombies for two years as the dates have been pushed back… They have always had decent bass players, more recently the late Jim Rodford. Colin Blunstone solo too. Though unremarkable bass-wise, this song makes me well up every time.

    Hello my friend! I think it was Chris White, the geezer in the glasses. It is a fantastic song and bass line though, we can agree on that…

    Sold Adam a guitar in what is probably the quickest, smoothest deal ever! Highly recommended.

    Please refrain from any ‘legless drummer’ jokes, people. Oh… 😮

    What did Kemp and Leshur actually contribute? Still trying to work that out!

    I switched off with ten minutes to go. All that work for what…?

    That would be interesting… when I interviewed him last year I couldn’t shut the beggar up! 😈

    He ain’t a musician😂

    The songs they chose were bizarre and probably designed to cause problems. Both had/have two defined parts, verse and chorus, that are almost at odds with each other. Frankly, as someone who detests any prejudice, I hate the practice of the person’s age being stated alongside their name. I don’t see why being ‘old’ debars you from making music. Age is just a number. It’s only if you stop, as the drummer did, that you may have a problem picking it up again. Keep going and you will be all right.

    My favourite bass since buying one from @Sambrook a month ago. Cracking instruments!

    Safe to say you put Marnhull on the map… 👍

    Sean sold me a fretless and delivered it personally. A charming and trustworthy Basschatter who can play a bit!

    Hats off!

    Sold to Adam… Postage available. This is a bass I lusted after for fully ten years! It has never been gigged by me. Hence it is in flawless condition bar one all but imperceptible graze at the top of the headstock it had when I bought it. It is effectively an active Jazz bass, but the passive tone with the volume control pulled out is so good you may decide to stick with that. The preamp response is fine-tuneable, but in all honesty I have never had the back panel off. Here’s some blurb: The Scheff has the signature Lakland body shape and a set of low-output Kent Armstrong Split-Tube pickups in "lipstick" covers that provide a vintage look and sound. The pickups are coupled with an onboard preamp (bypassable) to provide a warm and defined mid-tone reminiscent of some of Jerry's most popular lines. The pickups are also placed farther from one another within the body - set nearer to the bridge and neck respectively, opening up an extremely broad tonal range. Very deep, yet punchy and with a crisp top end. Weighs 9.5 pounds. Finally, it comes with a heavy duty ‘Dudepit’ gig bag which must be worth a few bob in itself.

    This thread is officially pointless...

    According to Wiki his real name was Eric and he had a son. Maybe Bob Holness was involved😂

    Doesn’t she live in the States? Detroit I believe…

    Note to Bluewine... it’s Shaw Taylor (just saving you a right hook to the jaw😂). Have a good one. It’ll be interesting to have two blues ladies in competition!

    I wondered why he now plays a headless Status!😂👏

    Peavey minimax or Trace Elf. Have 2 x 110.

    Countryman is excellent- best £100 I ever spent! Don’t see the point of metal strings; persevered with rubberised ones and never looked back.
  24. Mickeyboro
    Do I recognise that headstock? Edit: Hang on, I sold you an Elektra!😂

    Your next amp needs to be gigging standard so keep the EBS for now.
