Hi Marc, ideally I was after a downsized KK Baby Bass (like the one Creeper sold recently ... but in a more traditional brown colour) however there don't seem to be any around. The Azola looks like it would be very portable and high quality but is a bit pricey (and its in Ireland which I presume you have to add 20% VAT/import duty on top). An Eminence would be amazing (I once toured Portugal with one) but I cannot think there would be one anywhere near my budget Thinking hard about alexpea's beautiful Traditional KK Baby Bass although it is less portable than ideally I was after. I do know KK are great quality and I used to own an original (smelly) Ampeg BB. I did see the KK 5er for sale but I have no idea what the 5th string is for, lol!

Is it me or does anyone else think that flashing up tabloid headlines in the documentary about Phil Collins' ex-wife marrying (their words) a "toy boy", demanding £15m and refusing to leave their Miami home was rather unkind and out of context (private lives are just that, private)? Surprised Genesis (and in particular PC) agreed to that

Thats very pretty but possibly bigger than I am after (I am after a compact-style Baby bass I can sling comfortably over shoulder). Plus it would need to get to me in London and I see you are in Bristol, @alexpea

Cash on collection. £7,000 reserve. Literally at high risk of being mugged!

I think it was Saturday 25th June 1977, the last of the 3 nights stint

Definitely bittersweet for someone whose first gig as a teenager (and one of my most treasured musical memories) was Genesis at Earls Court in 1977. The instrumental medley on the documentary was excellent (won't mention track names in case it spoils) and I hope Phil's voice is back to (nearer) his former heights for those of you attending the gigs. Looks clear to me that he was a bit broken by personal circumstances during the documentary and hopefully the tour and working through those issues mean he is on the mend in more ways than one.

I see it now. It was published on YT overnight (14 hours ago). In my defence, I googled yesterday afternoon after reading WoT's comments and only the 30 second clip was available at that point. Here for others' edification

Playing with the Wily Bo Walker Band (clip below), a 2 hour set of acoustic Americana and electric blues rock not too far from Loch Lomond. Saturday night and again Sunday afternoon https://www.callanderjazzandblues.com/

Do you have a link WoT? All I could find was a short YT clip (around 30 seconds, with PC in a chair not singing awfully well, but maybe that was a badly chosen clip?) Thanks

Only just seen this. How awful and so young too. Martin was always a positive influence on the site. RIP MB1 and sincere condolences to his family

Tim bought a CIJ Jazz bass from me and all was good! 10/10
