Hi Folks, Just want to post some uber-positive feedback here for @soulstar89, aka Aaron, who I've just bought a very nice NUX preamp pedal from. So, dealing with Aaron has involved friendly and helpful comms from day 1, interesting conversation along the way, and super-fast delivery! All in all, a perfect Basschat transaction. 👌 So... deal with Aaron with complete confidence, Folks. 👍 Thanks Aaron, and here's to the next one... 😁😊 Cheers Nik

Searingly honest and reflective words @lee650 - food for thought for all of us, and thanks for sharing... Music has always been the help and comfort that got me through the tough times, too. Wishing you the best of luck with everything ( now you're 19 again)! 🙏😊

Done... 👍

+1 Thanks @AndyTravis This is what makes this bass-chatting place so special. Will do it now!

Very, very sad to hear this news just now: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg71xrxrn8go One of the best songwriters of all time. RIP. 😞

Wow! That looks amazing @Grainger guitars A truly fitting instrument given the reasons behind why it's being made. I'm sure Nick would have loved it.

Just bought a Tascam recorder from @andysg42, aka Andy, who's absolutely brilliant to deal with. Here's what I mean... I sent Andy a PM yesterday morning and after 2 PMs, everything was agreed and sorted out. Next thing I know is that the Tascam arrived safe and sound here at Silverfoxnik Towers this afternoon. Perfect! So, deal with Andy with complete confidence, Folks. 👍 Thanks again Andy, and here's to the next one. 😊 Cheers, Nik

Love this thread @Bluewine, so thanks for posting it. Reading all the amazing responses it's generated have been literally life-affirming! Being able to play music, create music and make music with (and for) people is a privilege and a gift. It's communal, creative and joyful for me. And the older I get (now 64 years young), the more true this becomes. I think it was @Buddster who talked in their post about there being an extra special joy and purpose that comes from the 'visceral power of the bass', and that's definitely true for me. [As an aside - whilst I can play guitar - probably well enough to get in a gigging covers band - I'd never enjoy it like playing bass.] So, after thinking it through this morning, I'd say that music's in my DNA, but being a bass-playing musician is in my bones. And that's what keeps me in the game....

Thanks Mick... I'm planning to go to this, so hope to see a few other Basschatters there!
