My daughter had to cancel her wedding booked for the beginning of June. The rescheduled date in august is also staring to look dodgy now....

Don’t forget I know where you live @Deedee lol

That's not helping B.......

Had a Streamline in the past which I traded, I don't regret the trade but still miss the little un. With what I'm looking at coming in at £2-3K though, even with the 'one in, one out' policy, until the gigs are reset, it's an expense I can't justify sadly.

6 months in and still gear sober. This is a record (since joining Bassworld.....). So far I've managed to avoid the pull of a Status commission until the gigging outlook improves.

I'm seriously thinking of consolidating a couple of my basses into a nice headless Status but I'm waiting to see what the gigging future looks like post lockdown first.....

After this latest guidance we've written off the remainder of the gigs in our calendar up to the end of the year which means about 30 gigs cancelled since the start of lockdown. We have a few that have been moved into next year but I could see a good 30-50% of our venues not reopening or changing their plans with respect to live music going forward.

Ironically we hadn't taken a NYE booking before the poo hit, could be the first time I have to watch Jools Holland in many a year..... XMas eve may still be on though.

Ditto, got about 20 gigs booked before then and now but don't really expect any to go ahead with the possible exception of a big bikers rally in September.

They sure don’t bother with book matching on the solids do they 😂. I guess mine would look pretty much the same under the paint. It’ll look great in Niagara Blue.

Glad to see that there's still Sterling love on here. I came back into the fold last year after 10 years or so without one. Ironically took it in trade for a Caprice which I really didn't get on with. Had the neck refinished in vintage gloss on mine which transformed it for me.

I wish I hadn't seen this thread, got me thinking about a Bravewood Jazz. I don't need one, I don't need one, I don't need one........

I've had a Limelight and a roadworn Mex Jazz (red). I've currently got one of the relic JMJ mustangs and have to say that it's the most convincing roadworn I've had.

Love my JMJ....would love one in that fire mist gold though!

Sounds really sweet. Maybe a touch of chorus in the train?

Sometimes. I've got two Mustangs, a JMJ which has some neck dive and a Mikey Way which has no neck dive at all.
