I'm going to start 2023 with good intentions. The plan is to sell a bunch of instruments and try not to buy any more. I failed big time in 2022 and even managed to get an additional purchase in before the end of the year. In my defense Andertons listed the FSR bass VI in Lake Placid Blue at £70 off in their sale so it really would have been rude not to.

Lost Someone - The Residents

Sounds like the woman who booked the band really wanted a Juke Box rather than a band.

You Yesyesyes

Probably my Ashdown ABM600 EVO IV, or Epiphone Casino, but I have a LPB Squier bass vi due to arrive on the 29th...

Gibson secured a trademark registration on the ES-335 body shape in 1996 (US Trademark Reg No 2007277)

If that is the shape they're planning to use I expect Gibson will be in touch in due course.

It depends on how much is in my bank account.

March to the Sea - The Residents

I have a can of WD40 branded contact cleaner from Amazon which has cleaned up several crackly pots & switches nicely.

I can hardly comprehend that a brand so highly regarded would come up with such an inelegant solution to a problem that doesn't exist. This is the kind of thing I'd expect from basschat's favourite guitar improver. What next? foderas with the tuners set at jaunty angles and the bridge hanging off the ar$e end of the body.

Never known questions - The Residents

Sleepy - The Handsome Family

I have a pair of JMJ signature mustangs which are absolutely excellent in every way. It would be good to get my hands on Mr Meldal-Johnsen's original '67 the signatures are based on.
