fleabag

Yup, my old Peavey BVX 1x15 was exactly that. It had a big hole in the baffle and no ducting. That cab has gone to the great cab graveyard in the sky, apart from the grill, handles and back plate/speakon mount. Oh, and the badge * COUGH *

Guitarists struggle with spelling. Easier to write " bass in ".

That'll do nicely You might want to build your bass as a 3 string

Forgot to take pics ? If that doesn't require accidently falling down the stairs , yer honour, i don't know what does. Shape up Jim !

Seconded. Carry on madam.

My way round this is 2 basses into a switcher, then into my zoom, which apart from the usual chorus/phaser/wah fx etc, has graphic presets. So, stomp on the ABY switcher to choose a channel, and stomp on the preset graphic on the zoom for that particular bass.

I know ! Weird

Barrel of a Gun was during Gahans battle with weird drug days. It shows

I asbo lootly agree. Sterling is one tight drummer, and drums like a drummer, if that makes sense. The Dorsey / Plati / Slick / Campbell / Garson line up are superb for Bowie, and i also include Holly Palmer and Emm Gryner ( backing vox / percussion and backing vox / keys respectively ) Palmer is not just a backing singer - she's a crooner in her own right. It's a super band all round, and the 2000 line up is also my fave

We have similar pattern worktops. Excuse the toaster

Was it becuase it was John Deacon ?

I saw Sunfly at the Dolly way back when. Didnt know they were still going. The were the hippiest local band i'd ever seen.

Basically what Hiram said. She's a competent guitarist and he slaps that MM like he was a bass player, rather than a guitar player. PS Earl Slick's guitaring is sublime too

Yeah i remember being cooked in the sun there, and when you've quaffed a load of cider, the sun/cider mix takes it's toll. Yes, i was mashed - again

Ah, the whole video - yes you're right. I remember seeing that a few years ago, but it seems to be missing , as you say. Still, one of my fave TV appearances.

Not these days 🤩

Nah, the Beeb gig is still there

Saw Bowie on the Serious Moonlight tour at Milton Keynes Bowl, with The Beat and Icehouse. That was some gig. Check Bowie at the BBC theater 2000 on YT. Great gig - the sound is awesome under headphones. Highlight was Mark Plati's bass on Ashes to Ashes

Funny you mention getting mashed. The night i went to the Dolly, i'd been in the Swan in Marston Street off the Cowley Rd, sank 2 pints of Guinness, then did 10-ish Barley Wines down at the Dolly and ended bumping into a haemophiliac and we had to take him to hospital there and then. I knocked him over in my drunken mash up and he had to have immediate medical attention. Apparently i fell out of the car when they opened the car doors at the hospital. I had it all relayed to me in fine detail the next day. They guy was alright, by the way

Yeah i did catch them, but just the once at the Dolly. They were awesome and very unique, as you say. Think they came from Wales originally ? Never heard the album , stangely

And me - i hate this time of year. I'm a sunhine child

Thanks people. I'm getting worried about the weight now - maybe i'll go for black/american walnut. To be fair, i;m struggling to find a nice planed top and bottom blank in the right size anyway. The wenge was available from the seller, but not walnut, which is why i thought i'd go for the wenge. I asked my local firendly luthier and he's worked with wenge , but now that weight that Mick and Manton has mentioned, i might give it a miss
