Crusoe

The only thing he did was yesterday.

I'm only a bedroom player, so I like to have a glass of beer or two while I play sometimes.

Can I add bicycles to that list? I made that mistake on Monday night. A few grazes and a very sore shoulder has taught me a lesson.

Nice one @Andyjr1515!

I'd sand and lacquer it, then stick the corner guards back on. 😃

Welcome to the site!

There's this one on Reverb for £2.5k https://reverb.com/uk/item/55201868-fender-stu-hamm-artist-series-signature-urge-ii-bass-1999-2007-bright-sapphire-metallic but there's also a black one for £1.4k

You get snobbery in all walks of life, as far as gear is concerned. When I was younger I probably had an element of snobbery about things like that, but as I've grown older, I've realised that it really doesn't matter that much what gear you are using, it's what you do with it. I play a Squier Jazz bass that I've had for 30 years and recently bought a Harley Benton Telecaster as I've only just started playing electric guitar and didn't want to fork out a fortune on something I may not enjoy or be able to play. I may upgrade to a better guitar at some point, but for now, I can get a bit of a tune out of it and am happy with it.

I always group Slippery with Europe's the Final Countdown. I think they were released around the same time and I might even have bought both on the same day.

Same for me.

😁

Well, you nailed that. Nice job. I'll get to see the real thing in a couple of weeks. 😃

Why didn't he just tune up before he started playing. 😶😆

😉 I did German for A-Level. only got a D, but that one I do remember. 😄

Lieder. Leider means unfortunately, so maybe you did use it correctly 😄

Whereas GG went East

Not jealous. Not jealous at all. (very fudging jealous). Health to enjoy and here's to many happy hours practising there!

I understand all the advantages, but they just don't... look right.

If you ever watch the TOTP repeats on a Friday night, you'll spend most of the time going "I don't remember that. Don't remember that. Or that. Nope, no idea".

The thing is, if they aren't getting the footfall, eventually they will go online only. I do get the arguments about buying online being convenient, but I like to be able to ask the shop assistants about the products, if necessary and try before buying. If something does go wrong, I'd rather be able to take a guitar or amp back to the shop rather than go through the hassle of having to pack it all up and arrange for it to be returned (and yes I do understand that not everyone lives close to a music shop).

1'3" in... I never knew David Tennent was in Jefferson Airplane. I mean, I know he played a time traveller, but that was just acting.

I'm not sure if this is strictly classified as a musical opinion, but I don't like headless basses or guitars. They just don't look right.

Astronomy, hi-fi, photography... you really don't like having money, do you? 😄

Sounds a bit like bookshop.org

He bores me and My Way is tedious (apart from Sid's version)
