    It is with great sadness that I write this post, but my beloved Shaun died of a heart attack at the end of July, he was only 64. He loved being a member of Basschat and had forged some good friendships with fellow bass players. He will be sadly missed and I miss hearing him play bass from him room. Thank you for the years of joy you gave him. Louise (his wife)

    Andy, has this now relocated to Bedfordshire or still pending?

    I’ve had a few ACGs pass through my hands and usually lean toward the more ‘conservative’, so why have I just put a deposit on this? 😁 Set neck fretted 6, swamp ash body, 3 piece Ash/Wenge/Ash neck, SB70 pickups and the DFM 5K pre.

    Absolutely beautiful. I’ve just put a deposit on a Salace E type.

    Jason just bought my Warwick Streamer LX. Paid immediately and we’ve texted/chatted during that slightly suspenseful time between dispatch and receipt. Good chap to do business with. Buy/sell with confidence.

    Does anyone have any information on the luthier, Molnar Laszlo and his basses. I’ve seen the website and emailed for info a couple of times to no avail. I acquired this Princess 6 SC on here in a trade and am thinking of putting it up for sale. It came with EMG pre and pickups which I’ve replaced with a John East Uni-pre 5 and Delano pickups. It’s a buyer’s market at the moment, I know, and something is only worth what the market is prepared to pay but I’d love to put a rough value on it.

    I went to Leeds on Tuesday. Having last seen them in 1984, I almost felt like an interloper. I came away having thoroughly enjoyed the show, great performances and great lighting but with a hint of sadness at how Phil must have felt and be feeling on this tour. Yes, he’s a consummate professional and a great showman but I couldn’t help but wonder, listening to some of the lyrics. The acoustic bit was good and I really liked the arrangement of the ‘Lamb’. I freely admit to listening to ‘Invisible Touch’ for the first time about a week ago, and probably won’t listen to it again, but the newer (to me) stuff came across really well as you’d expect. Nic’s drumming was excellent and I got to thinking, as one does…Phil has said no more Genesis for him after 2021 soooo…get Pete, Tony, Mike and Steve to settle whatever differences still linger, get Mike to learn some of the old stuff, persuade a more mellow Tony to play some of the Lamb, and add young Nic to the stew and, hey presto, pre-Trick of the Tail Genesis back together for a tour of the stomping grounds of the 70’s, the de Montforts, the City and Town Halls and a University refectory or two. Does anyone have Tony Smith’s number? 🧐

    Shame there’ll be no ‘Los Endos’ this time around.

    John Martyn telling Danny Thompson to “put that f*cking silly violin down” on “Live at Leeds” after an observation on Ravel’s Bolero being designed solely for accompanying the sex act.

    Anyone going to Birmingham tonight? Look forward to a review. Any other William Nomates going to Leeds next Tuesday and fancy a beer beforehand?
  24. skb558
    Thought I’d better listen to this ahead of Leeds show week after next having never bothered before. First and last time. 🙄
