First and Last and Always - Sister of Mercy

This book is on my 'to get' list. I've got a few others to get through first so maybe by the time I'm ready it'll be out in paperback. Me? Tight? Noooo! 😁 Seems as good a time as any to rolling out this old gem. The joy of just jamming with some mates.

Kickstart My Heart - Motley Crue

Turn It (off and) On Again - Genesis

Did your not see the tuners then? 😄 I've left the films on as it may well be going back.

Castles Made Of Sand - Jimi Hendrix

The Real Thing - Faith No More

Only a humble Rockbass but here's my Starbass. Bought on here a few weeks ago and I'm very much still in the honeymoon period. It's got a lovely old school growl with the passive electrics. Perfect for some psychedelic/garage rock.

Blasphemous Rumours - Depeche Mode

Orgasm Addict - The Buzzcocks

Hair I Go Again - Archie Bell and The Drells

Italian Leather Sofa - Cake

Woah woah woah hang on there just a minute. Nobody mentioned a league table of shame when they started this thread! Why I oughta. 😄

Slight Return - The Bluetones

The neck is lovely, in look and feel. The nut width on The Saints listed on Ashdown's website are 44.5mm, but mine is 40mm so there are some differences. I much prefer the 40mm.

Could you have a word with my bank manager please? I prefer your way of working out a balance to his.

That Smell - Lynyrd Skynyrd

If it's bought and paid for in the given year then it counts for that year. Well that's the abstinence thread rules. Which on the bright side means if you paid for it this year but won't receive it until next, then you're safe for next year's abstinence thread.

It is very Reverend, but at least that means it's not a Fender clone. Don't look at the pickups 🙈

Is that the pink one from Reverb? I did debate whether to post the bad points as it clearly isn't a full priced production bass. The bad points on mine are easily sorted by any home tinkerer, and the parts you couldn't do at home are spot on. It's just the wierd short scale, long scale thing I can't understand, and still haven't got an answer to. I've given up asking as 1, I don't mind it being long scale, and 2, I'm beginning to look like a wierdo trying to pin them into a corner. People on facebook seemed genuinely excited by it being shortscale, but it isn't, and Ashdown won't confirmed one way or another. Anyway beginning to look like a wierdo again 😁.

I've got some lovely gear now and fully intend to finish off my long term projects next year. I'll be buying some bits and pieces to finish the projects but apart from that I'll be selling rather than buying.

Evenflow - Pearl Jam

I actually had a look yesterday in a moment of boredom after noting it was down to £275. Kind of relieved to see it was gone. 😁
