Crusoe

I was in a bar in Barcelona once, where a band played it, although in the local accent it sound like Moostahng Sallee. That amuses me to this day.

Elton John is rubbish Ed Sheeran is neither as bad or as good as people say. I liked the Uk's Eurovision entry the first couple of times I head it, but through overexposure, I'm sick of it now. I rather like the new Harry Styles single (and the last couple)

That is one stunning looking bass. Well done @Cosmicrain and @Bass Culture health to play.

Absolutely stonking song. I love the bass line at the start. I love hearing it live.

Would that be how it came out of the factory, or has someone done that to change the pickups at some point?

I didn't mind it at first, but I've heard it so much recently that I'm thoroughly sick of it.

Isn't that the song that Pink Floyd have done recently?

I remember the cereal cafe and the crisp sandwich cafe, but this takes things to a whole different level.

Please put your bass in its case, take it to the nearest music shop and leave it there. It will be rehoused with a loving owner. Thank you. 😄

I usually ignore it until the voting. Most of the music is so dire, I couldn't tolerate it. The voting amuses me though.

You've got a tent?! You lucky, lucky bas...😂

That was my first thought. I remember them coming out, not long after I started playing. I would have loved one.

That's me in my profile pic. I'm not saying just how long ago it was, but you could probably hazard a guess from the decor 😆

Done

When I was at school, that was how I played. I could actually play reasonably well and was good at picking up a tune by ear, but the teacher made me play with my left hand at the top and I struggled.

I bought a Presonus Audiobox 96 from @tobiewharton. He kept me up to date with posting details and the item has just arrived, well packaged and on time. It was posted on Friday, so got here quickly. I would happily recommend Tobie if anyone is considering buying or selling. Gary

Not bass related, but I put my daughter's old bike up for sale on Marketplace, yesterday. Shortly after I got a message asking if it was available. The person had an eastern European name, but as there is a large Polish community in the area this didn't concern me. However, he then asked if he could send a CTT postman with cash to collect the bike and then send it to his home. If it hadn't been for seeing similar tactics described in this thread, I might have gone along with it. I checked the profile and he is in Poland. I can't see how it could be financially viable to buy an £80 kid's bike in Belfast and ship it to Poland.

I'm guessing JD and the Smiths, so definitely complimentary. No insult meant either way.

In that first photo you all look like an amalgam of Joy Division (guitarist left), Big Country (guitarist centre) and The Smiths (Bassist) 😄

Is the answer, when you look at a piece of wood and think that it would make a nice bass, but the piece of wood is the underside of your coffin lid?

I like it too, though when he starts singing on the first song, I could have sworn he sang "I'm in a dandruff mood" 😆
