  1. Mill Street Junction - Be Bop Deluxe
  2. Need? 🤔 Sorry, forgot where I am 👍🎉
  3. If I Were A Carpenter - Tim Hardin
  4. The Tide Is High - Blondie
  5. Empty Rooms - Gary Moore
  6. Sadly often overlooked when the naming of the greats takes place. He played on Stevie Nicks & Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around; that’s a top bassline.
  7. It's a Long Way to Tipperary - John McCormack
  8. Marathon - Rush (only those of a certain vintage will get this)
  9. Yeah, it’s made from tone plastic, so it must be good.
  10. The Fog on the Tyne - Lindisfarne
  11. It’s actually a depression for better sound projection 😉
  12. Under the Bridge - RHCP
  13. This comes as no surprise the way you’ve been cycling recently.
  14. Where’s the NGD over on GC? What, you’ve not visited yet?
  15. Some time back I wanted/needed an electro acoustic for a project. I was very keen to buy a Takamine, but ended up with a Crafter, pretty much the same guitar for a lot less dosh.
  16. Sister Seagull - Be Bop Deluxe
  17. Night Fever - BeeGees
  18. It’s Been A Good Year For The Roses - Elvis Costello
  19. If you can track down this album from my youth, it is chock full of bum notes, many, many from the bass player; it's bordering on hysterical.
  20. Ah ha! An actual Fump. Interesting to know you found it too much, that saves me a few bob experimenting; ta!
  21. Crystal Gazing - Be Bop Deluxe (yeah, they're back!)
  22. Cheers, my man! That one looks similar to The Fump, looks a bit of a faff but better than some random foam stuffed under the strings, looking like a burst mattress.
  23. Sounds too precise for an upright and the attack doesn't sound DBish, so I call mute (if that is a DB, that's some of the best intonation ever). Ever since doing a recording with a mute, I've been really enjoying the sound and feel, especially on a my new short scale. I'd like a BassMute, but as you have said, they are a tad spiteful in terms of price and only available on import (?). The Grossman looks like the best option as the Nordymute don't do the string spacing I need in a 4.
  24. Lithium - Nirvana
  25. The Gallery looks like it had one, but that seems to have gone already. As I understood it a while back, JMJs would be available in June. I really like mine. However, I find the relicing very lazy and somewhat unconvincing, as a lot of the dings are too uniform and obviously done with the same tool in a repeating pattern. That said, it's a great playing and sounding bass, that is really well put together (the neck pocket is tighter than a gnat's chuff). Seymour Duncan really should release that pickup to the general public, but I imagine Fender have made a deal where they can't, thus preventing folk upgrading cheaper Mustangs like the Vintera or Squiers.
