I think there's a whole group of us in trouble. As soon as I have my two Jabba basses these are next on my list for checking out.

Welcome @By_gaslight

Welcome. Then you are in the right place. Ypu turn up with whatever basses, amps, FX, anything else, you feel like bringing and then we all look at/try out whatever we are interested in. That and talk about basses all day long. It's a gas and it gives you GAS. You do not, just turn up on the day, pay a tenner and you're in. It's the best tenner you'll spend all year. No problemo.

But I’d pay up to three groat to see Bruce Springsteen performing a medley of Focus tunes dressed as a Morris dancer.

A lovely little village by all accounts, Under Duress. Never been myself but I had an aunt who ran a badger refuge behind the church. I also suffer similar paroxysms at the thought that life might not be long enough to offend everyone with both verbal insults and les biscuits de l'air.

Oh yes, he’s appearing at the… …Wantage on Boxing Day 2022. Luckily I’m in cahoots with The Grand Poohbah so I’ve got backtemple passes.

Is that Marilyn Mason still treading the boards?

Mum’s the word.

Not again *sigh*

I will be withdrawing my services forthwith you unformed guff of a man.

I’ve been on a level crossing if that counts?

Then you too are a voluminous cactus. Possibly, but we are certainly both quite prickly. Twenty-nine. If you say haberdashery backwards three times whilst drinking red wine out of a shoe you may well ruin a good shirt. Perspex. Are you a Toby jug?

In that case I’m a voluminous cactus.

I just go into a QSC via a HX Stomp using it as a monitor if we have PA support and backline if not, so I’d say yes to your question but, obviously, YMMV. Changing to this rig has got me a superb sound and saved my back.

Excellent, just started listening.

I was about to put the same song. It does that because it is a perfect slice of brilliant pop. Still rather strange how it does infiltrate worm-like without hearing it though.

Wednesday 18th May 21:00 Oil City Confidential: The Dr Feelgood Story (2009).

And I claim my five pounds.

I’m in.

Just throw a dart at a map and get on with it.

As you said yesterday, …but that's what you can get with a natural material. It’s now part of the character of the instrument, I’ve got my fingers crossed that the fretted has some quirky marks in the wood too!

Yeah man, if I played bass for Ozric Tentacles... 🙄

I love marks like that. My old Rob Allen had a similar odd mark on the body, just adds to the character in my book. Excellent.
