https://www.guitar-auctions.co.uk/sale/209/557/John-Entwistle-interest--1972-Fender-Precision-bass-guitar-made-in-USA-serial-no-376250 You would have hoped the auctioneers had looked at the image of Entwistle with the bass and figured out it obviously isn’t the same one. (Hint: look at the headstock).

Here it is at the gig.

On Saturday I was on my way to a gig with my 1940s/1950s style blues and I needed to take a bass as backup to my double bass that wasn't a modern Fender (the band leader told me!). I went on FB and found what I thought was a modern Burns reissue bass for £100. Agreed to pick it up and use it that evening. When I turned up the guy was a bit flustered as he'd had a huge response to the advert. He pulled it out of the case, and it was an original 1962 Burns Vista Sonic bass in untouched condition. Feeling a bit wary, we had a chat and it turned out it was his grandads and he was selling it for him, and he wanted it to go to a musician as he didn't play. Not really knowing much about Burns guitars (despite my username) I took it to the gig and popped it on display if needed (it wasn't). When I got home, I checked out how much they're selling for and was blown away. It's going to the shop today for a bit of work on the electronics, but a pretty bonkers day. The gig money paid for the bass, too.

You should have stuff you want, need, and love. I truly believe we’d all be happy with less stuff, but I can’t help accumulating things as it’s part of who I am. I have one bass I use, one spare in a case I take to gigs, and one I saved up for 4 years to buy (and will never sell).

Its called being a double bass player!

I know I always moan here, but I got my 1971 Martin D35 back this week and there is no modern guitar I’ve ever heard (or owned) that sounds as good.

I paid £3000 for ours, including boxing in pipes, flushing the old system, and a boiler big enough to provide the water pressure needed for our 3 story house. Some of the best money I've ever spent!

Double bass and 60s Burns bass action yesterday in Bristol. Good fun, but played 3 x 50 minute sets and my hands are hurting!
