Is Wunjo's workshop open?

I bought this when it first came out and i love it.....another good album is Pungent Effulgent. I haven't seen them live for about 20 odd years but Roly was definitely playing last time i saw them.....i think at Mildenhall Bowl on the same bill as Hawkwind....WOW it was cosmic!!

I always think that beautiful melodic piano piece played by Nigel Tufnell in Spinal Tap would make a great name for a band..... I believe it was "Lick my love pump"

I've seen lots of good reports about Graham Parker luthier in Lewisham. I've never used his services only going on what i have read.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1419442777' post='2640054'] Nah, you're stuck with an oversized thumb rest now :-). [/quote] A flexible thumb rest.....

Lovely looking bass but who does their pricing?

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1369071719' post='2084558'] Dan lilker of nuclear assault/sod etc. timi grabber of Mercyful fate Pete Cruikshank of the groundhogs Harvey bainbrige of hawkwind Dd verni of overkill [/quote] I spoke to Harvey Bainbridge recently and he doesn't play bass at all nowadays.....some of his Hawkwind basslines are excellent.

Well i rehearsed tonight with the Yam 5'er and all went well.....it is now fully welcomed into my bass collection. Oh and it has a really great feel and sound to it. So far i'd definitely recommend the Yamaha TRBX 305 👍

[quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1419258168' post='2638070'] Jack DeJohnette would do a whole gig on just a music stand..... [/quote] Surely the audience would walk out.....that is just so amateurish using a music stand.

[quote name='lojo' timestamp='1419250448' post='2637938'] Doesn't state if you can use music stands or not [/quote] It's Jazz.....surely they're not needed as the notes can be played in any order

I am fairly lucky.....my band is a Hawkwind Covers/Trib band so true to the original we never have to play anything the same way twice. 😁

A fairly local pub / venue to me is starting up a monthly jazz jam night. The pub is the Forest Tavern in Forest Gate, London E7 and it also runs regular monthly gigs too. May be of interest to somebody.

My first rehearsal tomorrow with the 5....i'm getting the hang of it slowly but surely. Really like the Yamaha, it's the first Yam i've owned and i can see me looking at other basses in their range in the future..... Yam Gas.....😨

I still maintain that it should state in the promotional material whether stands will be in use.....it just avoids that awkward moment where someone is having to decide....Should i stay or should i go now

I want one.....Message Ends

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1419041740' post='2636055'] Yep. Which is why I didn't tie you to my herb drying rack for likening us all to Matthew Hopkins. [/quote] But go on.....admit it you do all wear Witchfinder General type hats

[quote name='icastle' timestamp='1419040125' post='2636042'] Oh absolutely. I'm renowned for my manic Christmas spirit and zeal. [/quote] Yuletide is all about being mellow.....with definite added spirit(s)😵

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1419037394' post='2636032'] I think Matthew Hopkins is a member on here. [/quote] Yeah one of the Moderators.....
