I don't wipe my strings off if they're having a holiday off a bass, but if I did, I'd use the same thing I clean them with when they're on a bass — mineral oil* Wipe on, wipe off. * I actually use Dunlop ultraglide 65 string cleaner & conditioner which is mineral oil + lemon scent aka lemon oil

Dancing Fool - Frank Zappa

Dead Loss Angeles - The Stranglers

Leave Me Alone - Baby Washington

Is the description of the colour saying that tigers have orange blood, or is it that tigers like blood oranges?

Warning — he has a deep passion for bass and bassists. I wouldn't go to his house if I were you.

Don't Come Too Soon - Julia Lee

Chopin, Prelude in A Magor Op. 28 - Sun Ra

Don't Be Scared - The Handsome Family

Breaking Glass - David Bowie

I fear the wink emoji may have been too small to register that my comment was made in jest

This lot might be them: https://thebandpunch.com/ 😉 If so it looks like they've had a few lineup changes and none of the original members are left — as discussed in the Bands of Theseus aka Trigger's band thread

Curse Me Good - The Heavy

My Gorilla Is My Butler - Sly & The Family Stone

Poor Boy - Nick Drake

Holidays in The Sun - Sex Pistols

What it was like to be in a gigging band in 1976

Go Now - Bessie Banks

I was umming and ahhing about getting this one as I only have the sunburst and white versions, so it would be logical to complete the set, although the missus would disagree. They are fantastic basses - certainly my favourite long scales. The pickups are magnificent. I tried all kinds of flatwounds on mine until I found EB cobalt flats (the lightest set with blue graphics) which keep the growl in the tone very nicely.

Across 110th Street - Bobby Womack

Is this the first verse of Bob Dylan's latest song? If so I'd love to see the rest of the verses.

If you were to list it on ebay as an extreme limited edition from a boutique builder, you wouldn't be the first to do this.

The best example I can think of is probably The Drifters who have been going since 1953 where the name was owned by the manager George Treadwell, then his widow Faye Treadwell, and since she passed away, their daughter Tina Treadwell. The list of members and lineups on their wikipedia page is massive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Drifters

Interesting article in the grauniad about bands that carry on with no original members. Dr Feelgood weren't mentioned though which seems to be a bit of an an oversight. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/aug/04/meet-the-bands-with-no-original-members-left-yes-soft-machine-odyssey-molly-hatchet
