    That's great, and I get that it's basically a light entertainment show. But, being the aging, grumpy, muso that I am, I'll quite happily continue listening to more Beatles and Floyd outtakes and re-releases for my musical entertainment.... That said, it does seem to have become quite political in recent years, which is an unexpected and interesting development.

    Fake news! 😁 Kind of compliments the fake acts, fake songs vibe though... 🤔
  3. silverfoxnik started following Tokai Hardpuncher PB80 GS, 1979/80 for sale! - *SOLD* , Look Mum No Computer is the UK Entry for Eurovision , The Nick Smith commemorative event. and 5 others

    No. I can't see this particular choice of UK song contest entrant having a seismic impact on world affairs Chris. Does anyone really care about Eurovision anyway...? It's a very, very outdated and tired idea IMHO.

    Just had the pleasure of dealing with @Stewart for the first time, who's kindly sold me a really cool and great sounding Dave Hall preamp. It was the perfect Basschat transaction because Stewart's comms have been great from start to finish, and the preamp arrived in super-quick time and in bullet-proof packaging. All in all, an excellent experience... Suffice to say that you can deal with Stewart in complete confidence, Folks! 👌 And thanks for the preamp Stewart - I know I'm going to enjoy it! 👍😊 Cheers, Nik

    Beautiful guitar @Owen and GLWTS! I just have a quick Luddite question for you though, if I may.... What's a 'grown up'? 🤔

    Yep, you can't say 'h#%t' on here anymore, otherwise the H#%t Police will come round quicker than you can say vintage 90s British Bass Goodness...

    I recently bought a vintage Trace head from @King Tut and though not exactly the same series as this one, I'm amazed at how good it sounds, and how much 'clout' it has to borrow your word @Sparky Mark. Based on that, this amp must sound fantastic, especially with the matching cabinet! As Mick said, "... gear didn't get better it just got lighter." GLWTS 👍😊

    Hi Nik,

    Hope you are well, and enjoying life !

    Long shot, but as my mobile phone died, I lost all my contacts.

    I was wondering if you still had the phone number for Rich, Grey Parrot , as I would like to contact him.

    Better go and check my phone that I have your number, as well, JIC.

    Best Wishes,

    Mike

      Mike,
      I'm guessing this was meant as a private message to Nik. In case, you should know it's now a public message on the front page of BC.
      This probably happened as you wrote a message on Nik's profile page, in the field at the top, marked "Write a public message" ...
      all the best,
      bert

    Have to say that I'm really suprised this is still here given it's one of the Indonesian made models and it's had some very nice mods done to it... Gotta say, it makes me think of this, which is undoubtedly a good reference point (for those of us of a certain age and musical persuasion)... GLWTS 👍😊

    Nowhere as a band, to be honest. But Eg has had a pretty stellar career since then, as artist/writer/producer. The reason I know this is that I was in a band at the time and we knew Yip Yip Coyote, went to the same gigs, clubs etc.. Plus, they were big BowWowWow fans, like my band were, so we shared common musical influences, tastes etc. I nearly bought an Odyssey bass myself back in the mid 90s (that was being advertised on Loot) , told myself I couldn't afford it, and then regretted it for months afterwards.. What a fool I was! 🤦😁

    Wow, I was only thinking about this bass the other day @sambecker1. I bet it sounds glorious now with those Pino flats and new pots. As you say, the neck on this is lovely and, it definitely has an authoritative, funky character to it sonically, what with that one-piece ash body and maple neck... As I said in my for sale ad for it last year, this bass belonged to the late, great and very much-missed Nick Smith, so it has proper Basschat provenance to it... I think we can all agree that Nick knew a good bass when he played/heard one... And this lovely old, vintage Hardpuncher is definitely one of those! I'm sorry to see it up for sale again so soon, but it really is a 'players bass' that deserves to be played - so hopefully it'll find a new home on here soon. 🙏 Best of luck with the sale, Sam! 👍😊
