Convoy G.B. (Laurie Lingo and the Dipsticks)

I guessed it might be smutty 😁.

Rock has probably had its day with the hurried lifestyle everyone leads these days. Most have only got time for little snippets of gravel.

Bombay Daak (Bombay Mail), was apparently the name of the train it was transported on, which evolved into Bombay Duck. Is this one of the best thread derailments ever? There'll be fish everywhere at this rate. 😉

On the bird/fish front, at 47 years old, I've only just found out that Bombay Duck is a fish. 🤨

Not a good idea at all! The life of a mobile ice cream salesperson is already stressful enough without burdening them with distributing and administering a vaccine. Only the other day I found one laying on the floor of his van, covered in Hundreds & Thousands. It turns out he'd topped himself.

Not Sleeping Around (Neds Atomic Dustbin)

As long as the centre line from the neck to the bridge is good, that's all that matters. The rest is purely cosmetic. Yeah yeah strap pins, but the wood has to be seriously compromised to not be able to mount a strap pin.

Something Stupid (Frank Sinatra)

Or not 😁

24 Hour Party People (Happy Mondays)

Pictures of you (The Cure)

Uptown Top Ranking (Althea and Donna)

Music critic. Someone who's failed at being a journalist and a musician, then settled on combining the two for a lifetime of resentment.

Hundred Mile High City (Ocean Colour Scene)

Yes I think you're probably right, he's not an out of tune shouter, or pitchy, or has poor control or anything, just a bit off centre in his delivery.

I can't make up my mind about Robert Wyatt. An unconventional voice certainly, but an achingly beautiful one. I just can't decide if he's technically good or not.

"A band is essentially a drummer and a bassist, plus assorted novelty acts". Nick Mason Yes a drummer not bassist, but he's feeling the brotherhood.

Call Me (Spagna)

I love the sound from these little things. I'd still love a LB Drophead, even though I have no use for one.

Great news. 🙂👍

Thanks, I'll look into them. To be honest the low E is still too floppy for my liking but my worry was, given the narrow string spacing, that with even thicker strings they'd be too tightly packed together on the neck. Flats would help but I use it for post punk type stuff so wanted rounds.

That's why I was trying to find his other items, so I could save the seller if needed. Glad someone has the details in case.

I'm trying to remember his other items for sale to find the seller. He did have other music related items. There was a small (torque I think) combo, still had the red label across the lower corner, an old stage light and an old Nokia phone (or one of the new ones that look like the old 3310) among other things.

I can't honestly remember as it was a few years ago now, I got the bass vi when they first released them again. It was either a 95 or 100 low E, and all the others were roughly the same amount higher in gauge that the E string was from standard, if that makes sense. From memory it was quite straight forward to pick the strings from their website.
