[quote name='smaz' timestamp='1505750863' post='3374020'] Looking like I'll be able to make it - hopefully see you there! [/quote] Great! 😊

[quote name='prowla' timestamp='1505600681' post='3373140'] Hi - no binding at all. The previous-but-one owner removed it! I'm thinking it might be too big a job for one day, though... [/quote] Spoke to Ian he agrees, it's too big a job for the day. Sorry..

[quote name='cetera' timestamp='1505722135' post='3373699'] Are we having the obligatory 'name' stickers with Basschat name & real name? [/quote] Indeed we are ! 😀

😁

Thought so.. Thanks 😊

[quote name='louisthebass' timestamp='1505650751' post='3373328'] Fair point Nik, and I guess the other thing you could add to that is that they're the ones out there making (or made) a successful living out of what they do (or did)... [/quote] Very true! [quote name='louisthebass' timestamp='1505651167' post='3373333'] Just my 2p's worth - I've read a lot of people say how great they are but.... I just don't hear it. That being said, I didn't "get" The Beatles for years until I really listened to all their stuff from "Rubber Soul" onwards, and really appreciated how great (imo) they were. Maybe Primus will have the same effect on me when I'm about 75 (if I live to be that age...) [/quote] Aren't Primus Les Claypool's band?

[quote name='prowla' timestamp='1505600681' post='3373140'] Hi - no binding at all. The previous-but-one owner removed it! I'm thinking it might be too big a job for one day, though... [/quote] I'll check with Ian and let you know...

Whatever our individual and very subjective views are about all the band's mentioned in this thread, we're the ones doing all the talking about them - spending our time and/or our money listening to their music to decide whether or not we like what they do and whether they're overrated or underrated or not. Meanwhile, the band's in question have absolutely no idea who we are, what our views are, whether we're good bass players/musicians or not, and what our opinions of them are. And they most likely never will. Its pretty obvious who's in the better place, don't you think? 😉

Thanks Folks - looking good!
