That is the very man, also known as Mr Clock. I consider myself lucky to have played with him for so many years (he was also in Inside Information and Some Kinda Voodoo). In fact, he’s visiting me this coming weekend!

I can’t remember many of them, including the one where we had a weekly residency at a variety of pubs for ages: Toad - First teenage band, dodgy covers and originals* Inside Information - Covers and originals featuring a very talented lady lead vocalist who also played flute (we did a really good cover of Free Man In Paris that featured this)* Crawdaddy - Rockabilly band, so much fun, who knew? Changed the way I played guitar* Steelhorse - Rock covers (no, really? ) Thin White Duke - Bowie tribute Some Kinda Voodoo - Blues band, pretty good IMO, videos from the Jagger Centre are out there on YT Road Dog Jackson - Typical pub covers band (Mustang Sally, Sweet Home Alabama, Get It On - check; groan) DiamondHearts - ‘80s covers, best band I’ve ever been in, only stopped due to Covid and house moves, much missed Heartfakers - Tom Petty tribute, still going without me (I moved house/location) * I played guitar in these bands

Crocodile Rock - EJ

Newt Rose - The Damned

Nail varnish has been my go to for repairs on a variety of items for ages, including basses/guitars.

More than fair, a bargain in my book. Enjoy.

I'm going to be of no help here as I like both in equal measure. Black = "Pay attention, I'm all business," pearl = "Look at me, I'm pretty," (and it is).

It was very nice. I sold it back to the guy I bought it off. The colour was great, green or blue depending on the light. The only bass I regret selling.

The ‘Rays I have owned over the years… 1. USA SUB, 2. ‘Ray 5 in trans teal (should never have sold that), 3. Egyptian Smoke 3 band, 4. Sterling ’Ray SS (current squeeze) & 5. early run Sterling’Ray35. My favourites of the above have been the ones that will run in serial (1, 2 & 4).

Inch Worm - Bernard Cribbins/Danny Kaye

Yeah, c’mon, what did you buy? Details, man, details!

Permanent Vacation - Aerosmith

Mane Line Florida - Eric Clapton

Yep! Get out there and try some. The ideal, all round bass is going to be a combination of tones and ergonomics, with maybe looks coming in 3rd.

Thunder & Lightning - Lizzy

Loser - Thunder (ooh, politics seep into the song title thread).

Law Man - Jefferson Airplane

Shoot Shoot - UFO

Leap Up and Down (Wave Your Knickers in the Air) - St Cecilia
