Tori Amos' Winter puts me slightly on edge all the way through and I find myself almost holding my breath until the chorus begins with a sigh of relief. But the tense feeling soon builds again until the beginning of the next chorus. It's a beautifully sad song.

Fisherman's Blues (The Waterboys)

That also looks good but appears to be about £20 from 'normal' booksellers. I like the bargains you can find in those cheapy book shops. I've actual ordered, or other people have, Alfie Noakes' book, Guy Pratts 'My Bass & Other Animals', and Soulsville USA the story of Stax Records. The one @Dad3353linked to is looking like it'll wait until my birthday in Feb, as the "we don't know what to get you" will be repeated. Thanks all 🙂👍

Mine arrived yesterday. It's a Christmas present for me so I'll have to wait to read it. Looking forward to it though. 🙂👍

Thank you. I did think the FDeck was far too good to give away, my mistake. 🙂

The Killing Moon (Echo and the Bunnymen)

That's extremely generous of you @owen. I'll take the strat plate if that's OK. Also I wouldn't mind the FDeck but that's got to be worth waiting to see if it sells first surely.

I've just a similar experience on Facebook. Far less money but something was advertised for £15. I said I'll have if it's still available. Seller tells me he still has it but he's going to re-list it, as due to the amount of interest he feels he advertised it too cheap. To be fair it was cheap but the seller doesn't know if it works so was listed as spares. I said OK what are you thinking. He says 50 quid and I say I'll leave it then. It's been re-listed at £25 and hasn't sold four days later. I'd've paid £25 if that was his first price but I don't like these tactics.

First line of description. 'Original 1958 Fender Precision Bass'. Second line of description. 'Restored about 12 years ago.......' and goes on to say that nearly every part of it has been messed with. Soooo, talk to me about this word 'original' that you led with. 🙄

Living for the weekend (Hard-Fi)

Why not? My gigging bass is actually haunted by the ghost of someone that couldn't play bass................................ and quite often he makes his presence felt.

Here ya go. It's a bit dark but you get the idea.

I bought some LaBella flats for my Hofner Club and D string snapped at the tuner after a couple days. LaBella were great and sent me a replacement free of charge and included a rather funky sticker, which I really like but don't know where to stick it. I'll try and find it later and post a picture. Maybe you could contact LaBella and purchase one, if you felt so inclined. And yes I do know........ this post is worthless without pictures. 😁

Several months and the pub crowd can (probably still not) tell. 😉

Oh God! TimR is sharpening his graph plotter as we speak. 😬 😁
