A picture missing a flashed 'arris, definitely attending next year, if for no other reason than to give my rump an airing and ruin another group shot.

I very much regret not attending this year, I will definitely be at the next one!

I much preferred it when it was a heroin based Bash.

Overrated: Personal opinions. Underrated: Objectivity.

The greatest film of a live show of all time, oddly enough the only other live show film that gets near it is the brilliant American Utopia by David Byrne.

Has no one paged @Andyjr1515? I would page @Jabba_the_gut only he's busy building a bass for me, oh, too late.

There will be room.

TinyTone. Superb service and products (I believe they are the same as Jack's mentioned by @Dan Dare above).

Do it anyway!

I've been listening to this on repeat for about a week when in the car, deceptively easy bass line but full of subtle little changes whilst still maintaining a massive groove. Carlton and Family Man, no one would have heard of Bob Marley if it weren't for them, one of the greatest rhythm sections of all time and all genres.

Check in with @scrumpymike, he can recommend good ale and curry houses.

Strings Direct. Naturally I'm biased, they are about three miles from me and I've always had excellent service.

Just sold a Fender Mustang to @Dave808. Lovely easy transaction, great comms, speedy payment, excellent fellow, deal with confidence. Naturally Dave is awarded the Frank Blank Seal of Approval...

Another vote for Tiny Tone here...

Although not with an upright, I used a Fishman Platinum Pro with my semi-hollow acoustic basses, both of which have Piezo pickups. The Fishman is a great bit of kit, sounds lovely with Piezo instruments, if I hadn't upgraded to using a Grace Design pre I'd still be using the Fishman.
