  1. One appeal of the Flea jazz ... it hardly screams 'funk-rock slap-fest' and the signature neck plate is uber-tasteful.
  2. They cut their own throat by bigging up a show just for bass then watering it down and fown again. The reports are exactly what I expected it to be like. Would rather travel for a bass bash.
  3. Full size Hohner drumkit with two drum mounted toms, floor tom, and all breakables. Non matching snare. Faded red colour. Tatty but fully working when last set up. Some minor issues e.g. bass drum rim a bit chewed where beater pedal fits. Snare needs bew bottom skin but could be temporarily patched with duct tape. Would benefit from being set up by an experienced drummer. Includes throne and new cowbell. Might even be able to find some sticks. If cleaned up would be a nice vintage looking kit. Was gigging kit of the guy I bought it from. Probably worth a fair bit, but I want it to go to a youngster or someone who really needs a giggable kit but can't afford it. Please don't buy it to sell on. No photos as broken down for transport/storage. Happy to give free to enthusiastic youngster. Must be collected.
  4. I went ahead and used the hollow bits to drill out the screws, then glued in two wooden plugs with two part epoxy. Need to mark up and drill for the new screws - and get new screws, they are 74mm below the head, just under 3"
  5. Snowflakes ❄ I can't believe that the suggestion causes you such trauma!
  6. Screaming out for a dwtty black pickguard 335 style 🥰
  7. Myst admit my 'friend' is tempted by the Leo Lyons Woodstock bass.
  8. How good are the Bass Centre bases? Asking for a friend...
  9. 🙂 there's no way either of my headless basses are going! Need to think, but I might be interested in waving a few dollars at you... I might have to lose a bass if I do this though... Is it candy apple red or deep red? (doesn't look metallic in the pics) Do you have the bridge cover?
  10. My basses are like friends. Rediscovering the joy of making music completely changed my life for the better after a long hard time. People or basses, looks may influence the initial attraction, but that's not what makes for a happy union in the long term 🙂
  11. Hope it turns out to be OK. GR Bass told me they are going.
  12. Better than that, close inspection shows we were actually playing in the same key for once!
  13. He is, shame that they parted ways with Neil Starr though. Would have gone to the Merthyr show, but it sold out in a couple of days 😞
  14. A veritable orgy of ticket buying means I have tickets for Sassafras and Band of Friends, as well as ACAB, a popular local band.
  15. Gotta share this clip from an open mike on Monday with Alex from Bluesfire.
  16. I just poke my legs through a couple of holes in the bottom of a large carrier bag, squirt in half a can of polyurethane foam gap filler and five minutes later I'm good to go!
