Nothing Ever Happens - Del Amitri

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using headphones, I used to do this due to neighbour considerations. I used to use a Korg Pandora, which had the clever feature of removing bass from an input source to help playing along. I think that other similar devices have this option too.

They got fed up writing about Phil, Holly and the whole Good Morning non news event.

Jet - Paul McCartney & Wings

Call Me - Blondie

The Fly - U2

If necessary? This is BC, you know the rules…

Welcome to the shorty brigade, watch out, they’re addictive.

Ridiculous! I saw Steven Wilson at The Royal Albert Hall, with a box seat for £45. Ticket pricing is all the over the map, without rhyme or reason.

Doesn’t/didn’t Horace Panter use one with The Specials? T’birds do have the perception of being a rock bass and I can see why. However, if folk pigeonhole any instrument, they’re missing a trick (the story of Ozzy, with Randy Rhodes pitching up to the audition with a Les Paul springs to mind).

Very well put, Trav.

In Repair - John Mayer

Female of the Species - Space

Rock Bottom - UFO

Never had a sticky set of these, although I have had that experience with LaBella’s. However, they may now be coating them in something to negate the rust spotting issue they were having a while back.

Hear Me Calling - Slade

Just like Fender did back in ‘50s and ‘60s. That build is my current favourite P bass combo; loving it.

I had one just like that, I often wonder whether I should’ve kept it.

White Wine in the Sun - Tim Minchin

That's the right logo, at last!

@FinnDave I see that you've advertised for a reasonably priced Mustang/Bronco in the wanted section, why not give the Harley Benton MV-4MS (catchy name) a go for £199? https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_mv_4msb_gotoh_bk.htm The lack of blend control/pickup selection is a bit of a nuisance, but a blend control replacing the volume control is a solution. I like the neck pickup so much, I just disconnected the J pickup altogether.

All that matters. This is true, but there is lot more real estate in the body than a P. However, a chambered body or a mini J shape (Sadowsky for instance) will address this issue in short order. My Maruszczyk Elwood L (chambered, J type) comes in at under 3.3kg.

No! 😢

Likewise. I think the T'bird and Firebird are the sexiest looking things, but the ergonomics just don't work for me, sadly. Doesn't stop me wanting either of them.
