Sweet leaf - Sabbath

No one opted for “Smell the Glove”? Will have to make do with this iconic one from Joy Division then: The Smiths artwork was always pretty good but the 7” often better than albums:

Ball and chain - Martin Harley

Nothing wrong with ‘80’s NME territory! Actively searching for music and eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new release or tour. It made it all so much more enjoyable and far less of a disposable commodity.

If we drift a few miles east Gaye Bikers on Acid

Well if we include the surrounding areas: The Specials- Coventry The Wonder Stuff / Neds Atomic Dustbin- Stourbridge(ish) Judas Priest But Sabbath and The Specials are enough for me. One of the best metal bands and the best of the Ska bands.

Roll over Beethoven - Chuck Berry

Friend of the devil - Grateful Dead

Thanks to everyone who offered advice. I have been lent a very well loved Hagstrom/Futurama Short Scale which my son has been told he can keep if he sticks with the practice. Not a bad incentive as it’s a cool little bass with a great sound and bags of fun to play.

Hello, Goodbye - The Beatles

Frizzle fry - Primus

Thankfully no Brummies in the family. Much more classy Nuneaton heritage.

Nude - Radiohead

Trumpton riots - half man half biscuit

Not had the surgery but find Tumeric Tea helps with arthritis. Tumeric in general but easy to absorb in boiled water.

Closing time - Tom Waits

I'll Be Creepin’ - Free

Day tripper- The Beatles

Glad to be Gay - Tom Robinson

Cowboy in Hawaii - Martin Harley

Cheers. My son likes the look of the Ibanez GSRM20 GIO miKro Bass but has a habit of not sticking with things and it’s not a bass I would want to keep if he changes his mind. The G&L and Musicman Sterling would be interesting.

Thanks for the reply. I will definitely look out for the Vintera as have a Vintera P and am very pleased with it. Will seek out the other threads for more info …

Space cowboy - Jamiroquai

I’ve always loved the looks of the classic Fender basses. Precision, Jazz, Telecaster, Jaguar. However I hated the Mustang. To me It always looked like a fugly toy bass. My son has recently shown an interest in playing bass and finds them a bit big for his build. I have started looking at short scale basses and am constantly drawn to the Mustang. For some bizarre reason they suddenly look great. Nothing has changed except my perception! I don’t want a PJ but the JMJ is out of my budget. Has anyone tried the Squire Classic Vibe and is it any good? Alternatively is there a MIJ or MIM model that may be around on the used market that has the Mustang pickup configuration? Thanks.
