Paul S

I had both together at one point - kept the Quilter. For me and the sound I want it is the best small amp, hands down.

Nowadays I always go to a chap who has started up recently - given up a job in the city to follow his passion and life-long hobby. Leighton Jennings, in Western Road, Leigh. He builds guitars and amps so can confidently tackle pretty much anything, He also restores Dansette record players! I've been really pleased with his work - currently he is marrying a mis-matched neck and body for me. https://www.leightonsguitarshop.com/

Mind you, to be fair Mrs Overall has steadier hands than me.

Wow, that is impressive. Hope your hands are steadier than mine! 😁

Out of curiosity, had you decided to go ahead, how would you get inside to put a block of wood behind the strap button screw? Are you a key hole surgeon and intending to do it between patients?

Medusa. That is all

Wot he said. They are not as aggressive as some but do vintage deeply.

It is my pleasure to start off a feedback thread for Roy. He just picked up one of my Supercompacts in what must be one of the most straightforward transactions I have ever had here. 'Yes I'll have it' three hours later he is at my door with the cash

My pleasure to start off a topic for Andy's feedback on Basschat. He collected one of my Supercompacts in the simplest of transactions. Great comms throughout, nice friendly guy, made the deal very easy.

For the last 4 years or so I used a Quilter Bassblock 800 through a Supercompact or two. I recently discovered that I prefer the slightly coloured sound of the BF Two10 to the Supercompact but the Quilter is my main head nowadays, replacing my beloved but heavy Trace Elliot.

Hope he isn't a Fleetwood Mac tribute, they may have got a bit antsy

Possibly not a song that is on everyone's playlist but Bird Of Prey by Uriah Heep. I think the first 30 seconds is really powerful but, of dear, does it takes a dive after that! Its been bugging me for 48 years!

Shameless plug, I have a Barefaced Supercompact up for sale at the ridiculously low price of £400.....

Also rifle bags are sometimes a good fit as gig bags for smaller basses. I have a scoped rifle bag that is a perfect fit for a Mustang and others that are excellent for the Hohner B2A sized cricket bats. I suppose you might have to be careful if you keep Googling rifle bags, don't want Black Ops boshing in your front and back doors in a coordinated raid.

My first band morphed from a fairly dreary blues band into a pop/rock covers band, minus the keys and with a new drummer. Mrs S came up with the name 'May Contain Nuts' and that is what stuck.

My new blues/rock trio - simply answered an ad in 'Join My Band' in December last year. Went to an audition in early January to play 3 songs, ended up playing the whole set and jamming for 2 hrs Bon Jovi tribute band - something like 5 years ago I had an idle conversation with @hiram.k.hackenbacker when he mentioned that a drummer he had played with for many years, and who I had known for possibly even longer but not musically, was looking to start a rock band but Warren (=Hiram) didn't think he had time. I saw the drummer (Alan) a few weeks later and mentioned this, we decided to give it a go. I brought in a guitarist I had played with in a heavy rock covers band, Alan brought in both a singer and keys player that he knew. After a few gigs it was decided that a tribute band was the way forward, we did the Bon Jovi stuff in the set well so headed off on that path and morphed into a Bon Jovi Tribute. Which is, I must say, an absolute blast. Bands before that are ancient history

Bob Mortimer is a sperm donor? Actually that isn't a bad name for... ...maybe not.

Nice to see if from different angles

Actually for me that is the reason I started bass playing with a pick. I used to play guitar so when I started off on bass it seemed most natural. Over time I have been playing increasingly fingerstyle but still need to pick up the pick for accuracy at speed.
