Thanks Frank, but I fear that the LeanHombré is correct, and I am not one of those blessed enough to wear a hat with style.

Fortunately, I make up for this by having bags of style in other areas!

You just haven’t found the correct style as yet, try on everything, even Tupperware, after all, look at Devo.

If you want to get ahead, get a hat.

Why are you all so angry?

Because we are being left behind by a world that we no longer understand nor like, it's the same, generation after generation. I no longer understand nor like the things that the youth dig, why interact with it? It’s not for us. We are no longer ‘cutting edge’, I’d venture we’re not even relevant. I’m content doing my own thing, very little of which would be understood nor appreciated by young people, that’s ok, it’s the natural order of things.

Nick Cave Q&A gig at The Dome Brighton. During the questions someone said they lived in Nick Cave’s old flat and could he tell them where the stopcock was, which he duly did. Splendid.

Probably hear it anyway - just leave a window open  

You must be just down the road from me!

I do like an Antigua bass

Is that the Jazz bass that Foals bass player is using?

Unlike my usual taste (whatever the hell that is?) I’m really enjoying Michael Kiwanuka. As @Dankology pointed out earlier, lovely bass sound from a full Fender set up (I’m assuming his bass is a Fender?)

Instead of saying definitely I’ll stick with hopefully attending this time.

Well done Paul. Great to see you tonight. 

@Frank Blank & @Greg Edwards69, were you there?

I’m afraid not, unforeseen circumstances, gutted, actually.

What, not even the riff from XYZ?

If you are referring to the band Rush there then I’m afraid, as someone who has never heard the band, the meaning is lost on me!

Am I missing something? When is this?

2nd May 2020, no rush...

With the help of the excellent @Reggaebass I'm listening to heaps of dub at the moment, a current fave...

Damnation. I’ve been after one of these for yonks, but it and sell it to me!

That reply is, like, the best thing evah.

*waves*

Welcome!

It’s gorgeous wood. I have never been a fan of light woods but I was smitten the first time I saw this bass and it’s just getting better and better.

I have one of these, superb piece of kit GLWTS.

Next to the Cricketers Pub, used to be called The Riga Bar some while back.  Be great to see some Basschatters there - come and heckle!

I’m so going... to heckle.

Me too. It shouldn't be too difficult to establish a network based around the locations of specific members willing to participate, especially given that a fair percentage of us gig quite widely.

Just say roughly where you are and how far you would be willing to go travel.

EDIT: Fixed before the innuendo starts 😂

This is a great idea.

I’m only too happy to pickup and deliver basses for the price of the petrol, I just like driving!

Sure thing.

I’m in Harlow rehearsing tomorrow (18th).
