That’s quality provenance and manufacturer backup. Impressive. FWIW, I think they’re better the way the necks are currently fitted.

But they’re just talking about Shaft and we can dig it.

Interesting. I will be looking at the replies with, er… interest.

As opposed to a skunner, which is something rude in the local dialect.

IIRC, this swap was the subject of a thread some time back.

Ah, The Rain Song; that’s better 😌.

Clever Trevor - Ian Dury & Co

Some of their onstage poses are cheesy, but that doesn’t stop them being entertaining poses. Clichés are clichés for a reason. Danny’s dad dancing is another matter altogether, however. 😂 Danny and Luke are the same age as me and went to school just down the road from where I used to live at that time. They even played my sister’s old pub. Given how tight knit and cliquey music can be, especially in your teens, I find it amazing that we never ran into each other. It’s only through Chris & Harry (and a work colleague’s recommendation) that I got into them at all. I also find it strange that they’re enjoying their biggest success and notoriety in their 60s. Given his recent health issues, Ben looks the fittest of all of them. So glad he recovered.

I Don’t Remember - Peter Gabriel

Breakfast of champions! 🤣

The boys from Thunder always deliver and my best gig of all time was seeing them at the old Astoria in London. Chris is also one of my biggest influences from when he and Harry were in South London, pub rock stalwarts, Bad Influence. A great player with a huge range of ability, great voice and a thoroughly nice chap. Hopefully, his bass wasn’t drowned out by a heavy kick drum mix (it normally is with Thunder ). I noticed the Status on Instagram, Chris does like to chop and change. He started with a Stingray in Thunder (they bought it for him), then his old, go to Jazz bass, then a Ricky and, until recently, the Sandberg. Looks like he’s using a Fender backline now, having used Orange for a significant period. He should join us on BC, his GAS would fit right in.

Thanks to Radio Scotland, I have Forever and Ever by Slik in my head. I want Faith No More back. 😩🙏

Monday Monday - Mamas & Papas

Tiger Feet - Mud

Road To Hell - Chris Rea

Nope, the Wal(s) do it for me. 😍

Start Me Up - Stones

Started Out With Nothin’ - Seasick Steve

Remake Remodel - Roxy

I'll take that gig or any* gig at the moment, TBH. *Plainly hyperbole, I do have some red lines

Hear Me Calling - Slade

Over The Hills And Far Away - LZ

Although it is quite a bit bigger than a P and, for some, can feel a bit clumsy. The reduced size of the Sadowsky and Lakland variants addresses this potential issue. I prefer the offset styling myself, as they're the same on the knee as on the strap.
