I assume that most of us have, at some time, been 'persuaded' by advertising or other means - our 'hero' plays/uses whatever - to part with money for something we were less than happy with soon after purchase? A very long time ago, I decided to save up for a four-track home-studio and bought some over-complicated Yamaha which used a standard C90 cassette with some kind of metal label attached to allow recording. Awful results on the whole and at the time, it cost me more than buying a brand new Fender Jazz. Less than a year later I traded it at a 90% loss, but it was worth it, just to see it go. Also fell for Fender 'Silver' and 'Platinum' leads which had exterior covering like plastic sandpaper. These cost a fortune and yet again, had a lifespan of around a month before crackle set in and the covering had managed to damage the finish on my bass. I can't be the only mug out here?

Mighty Rad Gumbo - Little Feat

EBS Metaldrive used to give serious drive and held onto the low end. 😎

Sweet Home Chicago - Robert Johnston

Can't fault Overwater for their service. Chris May once even personally delivered a repaired bass to my house!

Wonderful, wonderful Copenhagen -Danny Kaye

^ this 🤗

I've already said this on the DoI thread, but felt it better to drop here as well. Basically, I hate this cookie stuff. I don't want it, never asked for it and, like others here, would like a 'reject and never come back' button. Been a member here for a good number of years, but this annoying and persistent garbage is going to drive me off the site. Could rant on, but it's obvious how I feel - if I am in the minority over this, that's fair enough and I should go. A shame though, as I used to enjoy this BC stuff.

Old Man - Neil Old

Let's hope his next one is a hedgehog.

Boom Bang a Bang! - Lulu. Oops, wrong thread! 🤭

I only ever use a fretless, rifled, five-string (high B), chambered-body, short-barrel, figured-maple, hand-polished-stock, under-over, machine-shotgun for jazz and find my triple-ported, folding-bin 8x18" speakers give a great tone and volume and projection, down The Flying Pig every Fourth Tuesday night.

Have you joined the AA, just in case? It's some tow to the Northern Lights from waaaaaaay doon there. Wishing you a fine, uneventful and enjoyable trip. 👍🚗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The Gambler - Kenny Dodgers

With caveats above, this should work well IMO. Good luck.

Then you need one of these, based on your avatar:

Making Your Mind Up - Buckfast Fizz

Harlem Shuffle - Bob and Earle

Been playing for 49 years and for the last 25 of those, it's been five string for everything. Still play my fours but mostly at home only, taking two fives if gigging.

Perhaps the last section has been rubbed away and after the number it should state, "kebabs, without Doctor's advice."

Blue Catarrh - Justin Hayfever

VW Golf Mk2 GTi - lubbly-jubbly! 🚗
