    Or Max Pax & The Rialto Ballroom Detectives.

    Exactly this for me too. I spent much of my teens listening exclusively to three or for bands and dissing any other music and anyone who didn't share my tastes! Now, realising what a bleedin' idiot I'd been, I listen to anything or everything with what I hope is a reasonably open mind. I am still occasionally smitten, as in I know within a few bars that I'm going to really dig something but if something doesn't hit me like that I will still give it a few whirls and see if it grows on me. The opposite for me, some bands I have to finally admit I do like them!

    Well, exactly, but they smashed it that night, not my thing at all.

    No, but even with 10cc and Steel Pulse as contenders, Darts were still the best gig in the park. Did you live in Harlow then?

    Yes, MB2s are 34”. From the RA site... Mb-2: This is a full 34” scale semi-hollow bass. Warm woody tone with a strong fundamental due to the hollow wings and solid center block. This is the most versatile of the basses due to the punch of the long scale. This design can produce good staccato tone if plucked back towards the bridge, or pillowy warm tones if plucked over the neck/body joint. Punchy enough to play rock or blues with, warm and open enough for jazz.

    Who could forget this series when part of the intro was a Class 47 locomotive emerging from Box Hill Tunnel?

    Welcome @Bram

    The very video that convinced me to buy two RAs.

    Welcome @Pappabass. Sixteen drachma equals three groat per dollar/yen apart from in Bratislava where the Singapore Dollar reaches parity with the Euro.

    I don’t suppose mine are particularly representative of typical short scales but at least you’d get a feel for a 30” neck, drop me a PM if you want to try one, I’m sure we can work something out.

    You, Sir, are a frickin' maniac, in the best possible sense.
  14. Frank Blank
    I think precisely for the reason you give in your first sentence.

    Saw so many great bands in Harlow Town Park at the free gigs.

    I spent decades wondering why my bass playing improved so slowly until I picked up my first short scale and realised I should have been playing them all along. I think people are coming round to the fact that full scale basses have precisely no advantages over smaller, lighter, easier to play short scales. Definitely try one, if we weren’t mid-global health crisis you could probably walk to my house and try mine out!

    Apparently I once saw Hawkwind performing on the back of a lorry at a Stonehenge festival. I had no idea it was Hawkwind, I had no idea I was at Stonehenge. I had most of my belongings stolen by three gentleman from the Windsor Chapter, including my DMs, I had no idea this had happened.

    A friend of mine committed suicide with that written on her arm, going out in style...

    Clearly I am just shallow, I apologise.

    Sir, just for you, I shall leave my dong dung.
