Song Of The Count - Count Von Count

SPLITTER!! 😁

Well Jimi asked the question, and according to the new ranking things, the answer is yes!

There's a yellow one for sale locally on facebook marketplace, like new, £100 including case. Bargain!

All Rise - Blue

Struttin' With Some Barbecue - Louis Armstrong

Great stuff! I really like these type of posts. You hear too much negativity about businesses, sometimes justified, sometimes just that things don't go as planned, but it's always great to hear when deals are done where everyone comes out happy, and the black dog called Greed is banished to the kennel. Wells done for being the 'fixer'. 🙂👍

I can't remember the exact tale, and probably no one in the band tells the truth about it anyway, but The Cure were signed to German label 'Hansa' in the 70s. The label wanted to promote disco and tried to steer the band in that direction, also the band were contractually obliged to record another single so they recorded this little nonsensical gem as two fingers up to the record company, so the story goes. Who says Robert Smith doesn't have a sense of humour. I actually really like it.

You might be better off putting this request in the 'Build Diaries' section. That's where all the wood whisperers gather. Stay down wind of them and don't make sudden movements and you should be alright. 😉

Arrival - ABBA

Chocolate Box - Bros 🤣 Edit, Damn it, too slow.

E=mc2 - Big Audio Dynamite

Oh my! Cushion please.

I know, someone's got a nice little bargain.

Hot Hot Hot - The Cure

The one local to me has just sold. I had yesterday and today off work and decided if it was still there tomorrow then I'd pick it up on the way home. Shame really as ever since I've seen the Warman quad rail pickups, I've fancied putting a pair of them in something. If the pickups aren't great in these then it would have made a great recipient. This is/was it.

Take it Easy - The Eagles

Black Coffee In Bed - Squeeze

It reminds me of the 'World Of Sport' logo. Ahh, Dickie Davies on Saturday afternoons, endless summer holidays, jumpers for goalposts, blah blah blah.

But what could possibly be the point in buying a bass that you don't need? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣... ...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I know I shouldn't, because although myself and @ambient have had bad experiences with Craig's Music I'm sure plenty of others have happily dealt with them. They've been there a long time so must be doing something right. But... get an image of Ricky Gervais' David Brent in your head and then watch this. I really can't work out if it's a genuine worker trying to promote the stock, or a guerilla mockumentary.

I think it's more to show the scale of the bag against the bass. Unless the bass has an absolutely enormous lower bout it looks like it'll fit nicely. 🙂

The closest music shop to me. I've been playing for nearly thirty years, I've been once, once was enough! I had to wait while he dealt with the customer before me, not a problem. Once the customer left he started to slag the customer off to me. Then asked what I was after. It was probably 10/15 years ago and I'd never tried flats. I said, "I'd like to try some flats on my P bass to see what they sound like". He replied, "They'll probably sound shit." Well thanks for your insight Craig. I buy all my strings online now.

@ribbetingfrog Yours looks great. How does it sound, have they scrimped on the electrics or are they OK? What style neck is it, more P or J?

I've just seen one for sale locally, sonic blue with the two part cream pearloid scratchplate and chrome jazz style control plate. I don't need it but it looks ace, they want £60 for it. I might cave in. 😁
