Scent and flavour are not the same thing when it comes to bleach

Thousands of years ago the rock for Stonehenge was moved from Wales to Salisbury by a system of rolling it along felled trees. If you buy a few mates a drink maybe they will help?

A new and improved Fender P bass... In a different colour!

There can never be enough Dread Zep in the world.

Oi! That was one of my short-lived bands in the 00's. I used to play in a covers band and book bands at the pub I worked in, but the best local live music venue would only really do Tribute acts on Fridays and Saturdays. We thought, at the time, it was a clever send up of all the lazy tribute band names we saw advertised which may as well have just been "Not U2" , "Not...(Insert whatever band name)". What made it really subversive was that we would never play any Mott the Hoople...

There's a very distinctive guitar sound across most of these groups. I'm liking it, but would like to hear something different from time to time... I like the basslines and bass tones, a lot more variety.

Quite a while ago a friend who I share music back and forth with sent me a playlist with Thievery Corporation and Arc Du Soleil on. It's blown me away. Really good music, mostly instrumental. My questions are... Anyone else into this? What is the genre? How do I find a band/ group who wants to play this kind of thing?

I would love a fretless Stingray!! Lovely sound on those recordings, and in general, really decent tracks! Will listen some more tomorrow!

Damn. I know some people have had issues with them but I never did, sad times. Even online retailers dying out now, soon there will be only Amazon left.

Never heard of them.... Will be researching, thank you!

I don't know how they fell off a cliff in terms of never seeing their stuff around. When I were a lad in the late 90's every PA, bass amp, guitar practice amp, speaker was all Peavey as far as the eye could see. In those days GAS was contained by what was in the only music store in town and what you saw your mates or other bands using. I have a soft spot for Peavey bass amps from the 80s and 90s and I used one of the later TNT models a few years back and was quite impressed with it. My first "proper" gigging amp was a 150watt old Peavey of some sort with weird controls like "pyramid". I always admired the Peavey Grind basses, they seemed to be very much of their time with the Nu Metal stuff coming in with loads of five strings and wooden finish basses.

That looks special. I admire your patience

Great job @Bloobybobi love how you've arranged them by tuning too. Thank you!!

Every month, hands down. Beautiful collection.

Really? I just clicked the link and it's available for £7,500? Weird.
