Agreed, followed, 11 months later, by the greatest album of all time - Metal Box.

I still have no idea what wood those blocks were, it is so pleasing to see them used like this rather than just gathering dust as a plinth for a Buddah!

Delicious!

As amazing as that would be, don't rush them to meet the date. Good work (especially as good as yours) can't be rushed. Like you don't know that!

The generalised answer to this is most people are bastards and, in a cramped gig situation, these bastards push past you, bump into you and glare at you because it's your fault they spilled one of the six pints they were trying to convey tho the front of the room where their bastard mates are busy spoiling everyone's night. I was going to list a few methods I have used for dealing with these type of bastards but I fear the information might be 'too much information'.

Just sold a bass to Dave, great comms, prompt payment, long drive for both of us to meet but all went swimmingly. Sensible, socially distanced, mask wearing transaction, superb. Deal with confidence.

We’ll have to see what Jez sez.

If they are ready in time I might.

Which I had firmly set in the negative before I pressed play. Then I pressed play. Then I got down. Excellent!

No, all my basses are gone or spoken for, including both Mice. I have a fretted bass already built and a fretless about to be built, both by @Jabba_the_gut so I’ll not be totally bereft

I don’t, getting hit by a bus would be serious. Getting rid of instruments that I haven’t played for months because I’ve realised I’m one of those idiots who thinks buying expensive gear will make up for my lack of talent is just a welcome insight.
