The most fun I’ve ever had in a band was an ‘80s covers band.

Now you can sate your GAS without any thought regarding abstinence, whenever you feel so inclined.

MY EYES!

Gah! This thread now has me looking at EB3s and dammit if GG in Glasgow don't actually have one. https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/pxp231124415836002-11714090--gibson-1970-1972-eb3-short-scale-bass-cherry-pre-ow I don't want another bass, I don't want another bass...

I had a setup on an Epiphone Casino Coupé that had some fret issues. I had the guy at Guitar Guitar in Epsom do the work and I was very pleased with the results. Might not be the same bloke now, but they have a reputation to uphold and I'd imagine they don't employ monkeys.

Stormy Monday - Various

Soggy Bottom Blues - Soggy Bottom Boys

What’s The Frequency, Kenneth - REM

They’ve been playing How Does It Feel on Planet Rock a fair bit recently and that bass line is lovely. Jim Lea is a superbly rounded musician.

I don’t think so, the hair is though. Check out the price of DB strings.

I don’t actually have one, but feel I should.

I’m wondering if a bow for a DB counts? Picks don’t and it’s not a huge leap to see the correlation. Asking for a friend .

Curses! Hoist on my own petard. I shouldn’t have moved, as Ashtead was only a shortish drive from my old house.

There’s an advent calendar in the 2nd picture. Do I win a prize?

I was talking about the Hootenanny with family this evening and my FiL doesn’t do modern, so I looked up how long the Hootenanny has been going, 30 years last night - hardly modern.

Agreed, just because you can sing a bit does not mean that all genres are fair game, he’s awful at it. I popped in and out, hoping to catch Joss Stone, which I failed at. Always glad to hear Dave Swift, but Jools’ left hand was often in the way and telling the bloke who pays your wages to move or lose it, isn’t the smartest move. I’d like to see another act ‘host’ it once in a while, as that might put a different spin on it.

Once more into the breach! Abject failure the last 2 years, let’s see if I can do better this time around.

Said bass player is a member here.

Rats - Ghost

If you’re going to have flamenco plates, I expect some Abe Laboriel flourishes.
