  1. Must of brought some tears to the eyes
  2. Plutonium ingots - nice. You could well grow some extra fingers, which would be handy. (sic)
  3. Listen under phones to Skeat on Andy Powells WA. Another man with awesome tone. Looks like a Ray. The recording of all of them is crystal clear - fabulous stuff. Powell is still a talent to be reckoned with
  4. Quite agree, though Martin and Andy were very close to Ted in the vocal dept. I loved Ted's guitar work too
  5. Oh my - listen to Turner under headphones. What an awesome tone. This live gig is with Ted Turner back in the band ( in fact it's the original mob ) after about a 14 or 15 year departure. He came back on the Nuveau Calls album which is a beauty. Yes of course i got the CD - had it for 30 years. Top music
  6. Oh i tried. They're 'orrible bu$$ers. Couldn't get anything for 'em
  7. The wife is listed on Gumtree , if anyone is interested
  8. No good for you then Ian. It's 112cm minimum, not 115cm, because i measured from strap button hole to strap button hole. There's obviously some extra after the holes but that extra doesnt really count because it's unused real estate
  9. I stuffed my kids in an orphanage, saved a fortune, and managed to score 2 x one off custom built basses to my specs. Happy days
  10. I got stunning at 50 years 1 month.
  11. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0B9MT2WP2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
  12. That may explain it, even though i've never owned a neoprene strap, i can imagine it not gripping as well
  13. I have no problem with grip on the Lekato i bought.
  14. I have found a specialist guitar / instrument courier, and no need for a hard case for insurance. They're the only ones i know that do this but they're not cheap £55 for a bass. So i have no probs posting this and i will share the cost 50/50 so the bass will only be £227.50 posted
  15. PS Lekato £18.69 Silly price for comfort
  16. Got one of these through the post on a whim and a prayer, wondering if i was going to like it. I have now ordered a 2nd It was utterly outrageously stupendously top notch. Sometimes you dont get reinforced stitching around button holes. I have a cheapo 4" leather strap that are without and they're getting stretched. This is made properly and is incredibly gentle on the shoulder. Much more so than my cheapo one, and more so than my monstrously expensive Italia Leather Strap as in the link. In fact, i have the long version, so they're more expensive @ 127.99 dollars than the standard one in the link. Couldnt find these in the UK. Gonna sell mine as those Lekatos are the bees patellas https://italiastraps.com/collections/4-inch-wide/products/4-inch-strap-rossa?variant=25562322817
  17. Cos being in the limelight is for those with low esteem.
  18. It's one of those blanket catchall knee jerk jobs by some officious reptile. It certainly needs more thought. For instance, what if they were an acoustic kit drummer ? Would anyone like that next door ? Surely there needs to be some thought going into this sort of legislation, rather than just ban the lot
  19. I'd be dead by the end of the first bar. Thanks a bundle
  20. You mean it's all in your head. Plenty of room, natch
  21. Then you haven't invented anything. Make yer mind up , missus
  22. Be careful on which pots you buy if you intend to use your existing knobs. Ask me how i know
  23. They'd probably say " put the bass down, you drainpipe. "
