    Still can’t spy a smile, Keith…

    In 2005 he told me this... Ibanez made them for me. I used to use Gibson Thunderbirds: had some stolen and I went to Gibson and said I’d like some, I’ll pay costs and that. I’d used them for so long I’ve had them given me before and I didn’t particularly want them given me but Ibanez were really keen – we’ll build anything for you! Don’t ask me what pickups are on it, I’ve got other ones as well and I was very immersed with the other pickups. This one isn’t active. The other is a standard colour but it’s in the catalogue - they wanted to get a picture of this in their catalogue, actually. It used to be the Iceman, or something I don’t really know. I just picked it and they said you can have it.

    Glad the Precision is still doing it for you, mate! Long may it do so.

    Blimey, Frank Clark! Remember seeing him in the audience at a Dave Edmunds gig many years ago…

    All the more bizarre since Russ Ballard wrote it (and as he mentions) pocketed the royalties! https://www.loudersound.com/features/argent-god-gave-rock-and-roll-to-you-the-story-behind-the-song

    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!

    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.
