  1. I had the same problem - a missing saddle, from the B string. My luthier suggested that I could buy one from ebay (link below), and, as @verb says, there are different sizes. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325082459218?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=MTGobot6TTu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=N6aXlrGTR5O&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Perhaps sit the replacement saddle on a blob of blue-tak, to keep it from dropping out? Edit: I too struggled to find a UK stockist, and could only find a Germany-based eBay seller.
  2. That works, as a band name. Simple, familiar, quirky without being weird. And a brilliant band name when it comes to naming your albums! Sock it to me - the funk album. Pop Sock - an album of chart-friendly tunes. Sock for Christmas - the inevitable Christmas album. Lost Sock - the collection of rare B sides, demo tracks and live versions.
  3. Three Day Week The Spangles. Whizzer and Chips Tracey Island My Little Nest of Vipers Raleigh Chopper Vinyl car seats. Am I getting warm?
  4. This works very well, especially using two words/three syllables as the basis of the name. Not too sure about "Away Bass", but I liked Friend Clinic. Excellent work @Jean-Luc Pickguard.
  5. Very good indeed. I was very pleased to see that there is tab accompanying the video, which means that the resource is player-ready. No bass on the track? Nowhere to hide for the bassist!
  6. I am sure that someone out in the land of basschat.co.uk will have a genuinely broken or gutted pedal that they will otherwise throw away. Let's see if something turns up. Wow. What are the odds of that!? Definitely worth....er....tidying up that box of bits.
  7. It is. Every time I want to sell it, I play it again, and want to keep it. It even smells nice!
  8. I am getting a local artist in to do a series of oil paintings. Either that, or I couldn't upload the photos from my phone... Doing the photos now.
  9. I am putting up for sale my Boulder Creek 5 string acoustic bass. Virtually unused, this instrument has a different bracing pattern, using two aluminium rods, and 6 points where the bracing is attached to the inside of the top. 34" scale length, it has a wonderful natural acoustic tone, and an easy to play action. Tomastik Infeld strings, that feel very low-tension. The large hole in the side wall allows the player to hear their sound. Built in tuner, with a Phase Reverse button to stop feedback. Built in tuner and EQ. Case included (but I had to replace the handle). I can arrange a courier, but would prefer collection, to allow the buyer to try before they commit to buying. I also have a Comfort Strap, that I bought for this bass, and which I am selling separately. Photos of the bass below
  10. Or, perhaps, 6 identically-namec bands each with one gig, one in each of the 6 States.
  11. "I've been searching through these seed catalogues for an hour now, and I still haven't found what I'm looking for. "
  12. You must be "Inside". Me, I am stuck beside the coat table in the hallway. I'll send you a photo of me, to help you decide whether and how you want to greet me
  13. He remembered me, and that we last met at a mutual friend's birthday party. He remembered too that he had given me a lesson. I am in shock. And I am officially Cool.
  14. To my utter surprise, I made it. The place is full of groovy and hip people. I am neither. I think that I am late. About 30 years late....
  15. That's today! Pretty close to me, in Swanley, too.
