Alfie Noakes

Top man, Ped - hope you’re enjoying it!!

I’m guessing you did something really shockingly bad....like trying to discuss a bass amp? Worse??

Thanks @AScheck9 and more thanks to you and the other lovely people who’ve done reviews on Amazon. I’m up to 11 (now there’s a phrase!) now, and feeling very humbled, flattered and ever so slightly author-ish. “Oi, Branson, pass the caviar and stop hogging it” is a phrase I’m now practising regularly 😎 Thanks again, peeps!

Sold Dave my Stingray. Top gent, prompt payment, pleasure to deal with, and he bought my book too - all round good guy! 😎

Thanks for the purchase @Obieito, and I’m glad you like it. Thanks for trying @Dad3353 and others, but hey ho - at least we tried. It’s a funny old world at times, innit??!!! 😎

Thanks for the help, guys, and my earnest apologies for the stinky poo-storm that it appears to have caused. I’d happily take your points, if I could. Talkbass is evidently rather different to Basschat.

Wow - thanks, you lovely peeps!!!

Fellow BCers, I could do with a trans-Atlantic favour (or favor, even). I recently self-published my book on playing bass in covers bands (Recovers, by Alfie Noakes). It’s been well received on here, so I though I’d launch in America, kinda. Up went the TalkBass post, a nice bit of interest and some sales followed, then a day later my thread was pulled as you’re not allowed to promote your own wares on TalkBass. I apologised to the mod for my oversight, and wept slightly as I saw I had 49 alerts on my thread, that I could no longer get to. Perhaps they were 49 cease and desist messages from the mods, or 49 people wanting to buy a copy - I’ll never know 😭 However, the mod did say that if someone were to ask me a question on TalkBass about my book, then it is permissible to reply, advise and discuss, or words to that effect. So, cutting to the quick, if someone here who has a profile over there, or even someone over there who has a profile over here, was to start a post on TalkBass about the link below, and include an @Alfie Noakes in the words, possibly asking me if it’s my book, and how did I get it published, and even how it’s selling, I’d be your best friend for like, forever. This ain’t gonna make me rich, but it might fund a few purchases on here (pedals, if I’m lucky!). I’ve mulled over this, and don’t think it’s unethical, but if a BC mod feels otherwise, feel free to pull this thread too. Hey, I’m getting used to it 😎 Here’s the Amazon US link, and thanks in advance to anyone who helps: https://www.amazon.com/RECOVERS-bassist-covers-bands-survive-ebook/dp/B08CGY1V9X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Alfie+noakes&qid=1605980716&sr=8-1

That’s @karlfer in everyone’ case!

On Amazon, if you’d be so kind. Glad you enjoyed it! 😎

Thanks @gafbass02 - top man!!!

Another problem-free transaction, as always, and a great speaker cable I could tow a truck with! Many thanks, sir.

Sold Bas my Helix HXFX - absolute pleasure to deal with, and can heartily recommend him - a top guy! Phil

Thanks Pete - I’m tempted to do something similar about my (less than) illustrious career, the jobs I’ve had along the way, and all the work funnies I’ve enjoyed and been involved in, and there’s been loads of them!! I need to live for another forty years or so, and keep playing in bands, to do a proper sequel and at 58, that’s unlikely!

A big thank you for both the orders, and the lovely feedback guys. I still have a few paperback copies in my possession if anyone needs that special Christmas gift for themselves, from themselves. Drop me a PM if you’re interested, and thanks again, everyone 😎

Bought Mike’s Stomp - top guy, perfect transaction. Phil

Sorry Megwegpeg, no audiobook in my pipeline - not yet anyways.
