  1. [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1434872923' post='2803380'] I was going to get the P bass but the fact it was a "b stock" deko put me off. If it's been returned by someone (makes it b stock) then I'd be worried it was genuinely unplayable. [/quote] I've returned Basses because of cosmetic issues that would make them B Stock, in fact thinking about I've returned B Stock items too. (I see the confusion re BK has been resolved)
  2. Nige just bought a set of Strings from me. Quick payment and great comms. Thanks.
  3. [sup]Stiff Little Fingers are doing a charity benefit gig for Arthritis Research.[/sup]
  4. Just got some half rounds from D'Addario so have these Roundwounds from a twin pack spare and still sealed in the packet. These are for a 5 string Bass and are 45-130 Buyer pays postage and these are even cheaper than the current 50% offer with D'Addario themselves which would come in at £15.75 plus £3.00 postage!
  5. [quote name='allighatt0r' timestamp='1434614460' post='2801129'] Then you can get the items after hearing knock on your door. **feel free to me if you have any questions** [/quote] It was more the name of the seller: Les_Paul
  6. [quote name='allighatt0r' timestamp='1434095989' post='2796553'] I rest my case....

  7. Caribbean Reggae Giant "Shaggy" and laconic Mancs "Inspiral Carpets " are admirers of each other's work and are looking to merge their talents. As usual in these instances they are struggling to come up with a name.
  8. Skrewdriver and Sonic the hedgehog are thinking of doing a Dr Who homage band...
  9. Good job I don't live next to you then....!
  10. I agree wholeheartedly and whilst you're at, it how about someone doing an Abba or Eagles Tribute Band too?
  11. [quote name='molan' timestamp='1431473125' post='2771815'] Playing his old favourite '66 Jazz into a Jule Monique Dove Cage preamp, Aguilar Tone Hammer TH500 power stage and a pair of Aguilar SL112's - not that I'm an anorak or anything . . . [/quote] or that you probably supplied much of said gear...

  13. [quote name='pfretrock' timestamp='1434208948' post='2797653'] Filipino rock band The Dawn were once double booked with Dexys Midnight Runners. [/quote] Following a spate of twisted ankles due to local Councils switching off street lighting to save money , Dexy's soon decided to stay in and watch "8 out of 10 Cats do Countdown"
  14. Looking at the post around "double bookings", I remember Dr Hook and The Medicine Show turning up for a gig in their early days and finding another band there already set-up. Upon speaking to the Landlord they were told to "Sling their hook".
  15. [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1434154791' post='2797268'] Had you used the word "twinned", I couldn't have failed to agree. I can only think that you are resentful of no-one pointing out that despite the nomenclative the relationship between yourself, the late Susannah York, and Thom Yorke, that none of you have ever gone further north than Northampton. [/quote] I really resent that you think I'm resentful.
  16. [quote name='tauzero' timestamp='1434151174' post='2797258'] She's obviously moved on. [/quote] You don't get out of it that easily and TBH, bit gutted you didn't remember I had already posted something similar on the 29th November last year. "Blatant Plagiarism" is the term I would use...
  17. It's £7 as a one off but £20 for a year, I think? Maybe there is a different option you can select somewhere on the form, is it a drop down menu, I can't remember ?

Tina Weymouth and Glen Matlock are currently in talks. [/quote] Err.... "Posted 29 November 2014 - 01:22 PM Following the departure of David Byrne from Talking Heads, Alan Bennett has confirmed he will be taking them in a new direction. In a separate development Tina Weymouth will be collaborating with Jesse Winchester."
  19. Florence Welsh of Florence and the Machine has asked Italian fans of the Band to help them decide where they do their Headline gig over there.
  20. [quote name='sprocketflup' timestamp='1433876528' post='2794820'] Whereas 'Glasgow Kiss' are not so well received [/quote] I hear they do a version of "Mac the Knife"?
  21. [quote name='ianrendall' timestamp='1434049003' post='2796316'] Cider? Dorset? Tell me more! [/quote] Amp is £65 and Cider is around 7% proof, Apples picked by myself at Mudiford and pressed by John Lawrence in Corton Denham for me and matured in my storeroom near Stalbridge.
  22. I've watched him play on Schofield's Chicken Dog when I was learning it: he has a unique technique with his right hand and fingers
