The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
howdenspur replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
What an awesome pairing - the Wattplower looks fantastic! -
Picked up a nice gig bag from Pete's place last night. Only a brief chat as Pete was off to a gig, but he kindly fitted me in before leaving. Lovely bloke, very easy to deal with and just down the road! Highly recommended!

I may have damned Chris Gifford with faint (nearly non existent) praise. Those kitchen sink stories are both affecting and evocative of an era.

Squeeze at Victoria Theatre Halifax last night. Not seen them before, but really impressed with the musicianship, vocal harmonies (there are 8 of them in the stage band, they all contribute), Glen Tillbrook's pipes and, of course, the tunes. Brilliant!

The bass sale that turned a (massive) corner… - *SOLD*

Been a bit slow on the uptake. Just tuned in and wondered why your for sale ad was up to 9 pages! Well, now I know... heartwarming! Done and all the best man👍 Rod -
Who makes a decent 32 scale P in the UK?

Just bought a P body and J neck from Simon. Great comms, very speedy postage, bomb proof packaging and everything as described. Great guy to deal with. Thanks Simon! 👍

Another ace transaction and another book from the estimable Mick. Always a pleasure, thanks Mick!

I found the thicker picks, while you'd think they'd be great for bass, transferred quite a lot of vibration into my hand, specifically the thumb joint. Got quite uncomfortable Thinner Dunlops as Lozz suggests, I found ideal.

Apologies Rob, I had clean forgotten about the NW Bash! Rod

That would be great! I'm not aware of there having by been Yorkshire "do", at least in recent years. Colour me interested👍!
