  1. Best of luck, Nik. I’m in a similar position with having to start over in a new location. We moved to Perthshire last December and have only just moved into our house. I keep getting, “Have you joined any new bands?” from some friends who seem to have forgotten that we’ve been in various stages of lockdown for over a year. It does seem very daunting.
  2. The Great Escape - Boys Like Girls
  3. I Can’t Stand Losing You - The Police
  4. This was always my experience with that branch, a really nice bunch of folks.
  5. Slave to the Rhythm - G Jones
  6. Pump It Up - EC & The Attractions
  7. Korma Chameleon - Culture Club
  8. The smart move is to buy one from Bass Direct (actually a better bet, post B word) then any issues are their problem. FWIW I’ve not had a day’s issue with my two custom Elwoods and my off the peg Jake (now sold) was equally fault free.
  9. I saw him at The Hammersmith Odeon in the ‘70s. I was a loud, energetic gig, unfortunately spoiled by a crap mix, where the bass bins in the PA actually made me feel nauseated. Still glad I was there though.
  10. +1
  11. Black Friday - Steely Dan
  12. I have drill envy alongside skill envy.
  13. Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! - Tex Williams
  14. Another Nail For My Heart - Squeeze
  15. Rock the Casbah - The Clash
  16. There’s a guy on YouTube who has the most awesome tone on a JMJ, he’s strung his with GHS Boomers. I had a happy accident when I fitted the cobalts, the E string started to come unravelled within the silks as I started to fit it (a quick chop with the cutters stopped that). As I was carrying these as spares, a potential calamity was avoided. EDIT: Found one the videos
  17. First up, congratulations on securing yourself a place at ACM, well done. 👏👏👏 Secondly, happy cake day! That’s some present, very nice indeed. Your boyfriend, he’s a keeper.
  18. Having moved out of my old house 6 months ago and the majority of my belongings going into storage, I have finally been reunited with all of my stuff (way too much stuff it seems, not the bass stuff you understand ). Anyway, I cleaned the fretboard of my new JMJ Mustang with my never ending supply of lemon oil and the ‘board now looks lovely. I also restrung with a spare set of old EB cobalt flats (long scale); it sounds so good. The bodies on my other basses now seem big and cumbersome by comparison to the Mustang and just don’t have the same tonal gravitas. The JMJ is looking more and more like a keeper.
  19. Wrapped Around Your Finger - The Police
  20. Depends which bass. My newest one would be this,
  21. An old friend of mine who was fond of a beer, used a rather appropriate collective noun - A Belly of Bass Players.

  23. Dirty Cash - The Adventures of Stevie V
  24. No, they’d just be Kidding.
  25. White Man In The Palais - The Clash
