Can somebody explain the modes to me?

Dee Murray and Nigel Olsson

Shocked by... John Lennon and Kirsty McColl Saddened by untimely death... Most of those already mentioned plus Robert Calvert Alan Hull

Kenny Gradney, Richie Hayward and Sam Clayton of Little Feat

White Room by Cream works quite well

Am I the only one to see the irony in this comment, given the original post?

Quite agree. Mind you, I do have doubts about some of you lot. 🙂 (as does my friend, the invisible 6 foot 3 1/4 inch white rabbit)

I still have my copy of that. (Although the floppy vinyl disk seems to have been lost in action at some point). Apart from that, I seem to remember a lot of riffs. Peaches, Sunshine of Your Love, Egyptian Reggae. First song I actually managed to trancscribe all the way through was Meet Me On The Corner by Lindisfarne.

Ordered a bezel on Wednesday. Got a reply almost immediately saying he needed to restock and there might be a small delay. Bezel arrived this morning.

We got an Ibanez Mikro for our daughter when she was (a small) 9 year old. 10 now and still moans about the stretching at the money end, but she's working towards Rockschool Grade 4 on it and is planning to audition for School of Rock in the West End soon. https://www.ibanez.com/usa/products/detail/gsrm20_03.html Nice bit of kit for the money.

Tam Lin - Fairport Convention.

They should be in a sealed bag with the number on the outside.

My 10 year old daughter's got one. It's a really nice bit of kit. (The tuners could be a bit better, but they do the job.)

In an outfit like that, he'd have to.

and this one (although it was on the Beeb IIRC)

and I'll add this one Hill Street Blues

Albert Hall and Bill Shakespeare on trumpet in particular.

Thomann is based in Germany, so no import duty due.Just wait till later in the year.🙁

Is the string ok? My daughter had a similar issue on her bass and on examination, the string had been damaged where it passed over the fret in question.

I might be willing to pay said collector to lock it away for a bit longer.

The Harley Benton Beatbass from Thomann is another decent, cheap version. (Need to budget for a decent set of flats for it though) https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_beatbass.htm

Nah, that's Croydon.

An extremely distant cousin (3rd, x times removed?) was the mother of a bunch of kids with the name von Trapp who had some success as a singing group.

Not quite. She taped felt over the strings as she felt this worked better when using a pick. See tip 113 http://carolkaye.com/www/education/tips101.htm and tip 100 here https://www.carolkaye.com/www/education/tips51.htm
