  1. I had to just go and check what i do, as i seem to be unaware of how i mute unwanted ringing. It appears that i'm not muting much with my plucking hand. Most of the muting i do is actually with my fretting hand, and particulary how i fret and how i lift my fingers off the string after that note is done with
  2. The less said about that the better. I mean the experience of my commission sale, not the 20% commission itself. Even that's too high when you look at the percentage some other bass shops charge.
  3. Only a handful IIRC. Steve the owner of FB was one, and a couple of others. So not the hoardes of disgruntled bodies it appears or some might have you believe. There was one highly disgruntled member over there, ex of Basschat ( or Bassworld as it was then ) and he even fell out with FB owner Steve eventually, and Steve kicked him off or he left, and that was a guy called Thumper on FB.
  4. Thats what i call optimism
  5. There must be a market for basses that have been run over by a few thousand Wildebeast, because some brain dead drainpipe paid over 300 quid for it.
  6. Maybe some divot ran over the parcels in their forklift ?
  7. Indeed there's always opposite views on everything. But opinions........ you know what they say about them
  8. I was on there when it kicked off, and met Steve the owner at a bash and he was a thoroughly nice bloke. He had a fabulous dog too, and Spike ( as was the dog's name ) was a moderator. Shame it's gone... IMO natch
  9. https://finnbass.com/viewforum.php?f=17 Like a mustard burp, momentarily tangy, then gone in the wind. Pffft
  10. Thats a fine stable of animals you have there
  11. For mojo, read over 40 year old sweat and finger dirt / grease. Bleugh !
  12. Line 6 relay G75 here. Asbo lootly brilliant. I started off with Xvives Mk1 and they were fine until the internal battery stopped charging after less than 2 years. A waste of 115 quid
  13. Shouting eh ? You know what that means. Are you really a guitarist ?
  14. Keep a sneaky eye and ear on the band Pete. I'm fascinated by what the next bass player ( if indeed there will be one ) is going to make of mr ' Im - so - inadequate - i - cover - it - up - by - shouting - and - blaming - the - bassist - who - can - actually - count - and - keep - time ' Phew. Bit long winded. Soz
  15. The whole Night Clubbing album is superb, as is Warm Leatherette. Both have been in my collection since the 80's. Very tasty work on both CD's by Sly and Robbie. They're also both on GJ's Living My Life
  16. There was only a houseband in the jamming room, which was run by Robin , Jaimie on drums and Roger on bass
  17. No need to translate or even post in French. Masse types decent English, we all understood him
  18. There ya go, Pete.
  19. Forgot to mention, but there was a jam session room after the bands finished, every night Friday to Sunday midnight to 3 or 4 am , run by Robin Bibi, and little old me got to jam with Robin. Bit of a treat for Robin, obviously
  20. Ah, thanks. No break dancing, i can assure you. AFAIK, Boogaloo Promotions do lots of these blues fests around the south of the UK. I'd never hread of them till mrs bag booked us in for the weekend.
  21. Me no understand, Mac . Had quite a few sherberts over the weekend, so very likely that i'm suffering somewhat
  22. Fab weekend away at the Boogaloo Blues weekend in Bournemouth 3rd - 6th Dec. Standouts were Greg Coulson Band, The Milkmen , Papa George and Robin Bibi Another standout was the hotel bathroom championship. Which side was mine and which side was mrs bag's - take a wild guess 🤪
  23. They used to have a CS number, but they soon got wise to that. When you get hundreds of calls complaining about shoddy service, you either have to pay more staff to answer the phone complaints as they multiply, or do away with them altogether, and use chat-bot, or just as brilliant, you have to use Arrsebook. I used Arrsbook to do just that after it was obvious one of their drivers stole my goods, and in the end, they just stopped answering messages. I won in the end. Paypal even sided with them just because the courier said it was ' delivered ' No signature or anything. My bank sorted out the thieving w@nkers
  24. Didnt make it to Knobworth '79 but i did I managed to catch LZ at Ally Pally a few years ealier I did Knobby '75 when Pink Floyd played
  25. At Moore's gig, there were mics positioned up there and they were stood next to the mics rabbiting away so the whole place heard them
