    My blues-rock trio Toredown supported Dr Feelgood at Venue 77, Ipswich last night. Freezing, -3C when I left home at 3.50pm. What should have been a 1hr 5 minute trip took 2hrs 10mins, traffic was a nightmare, got there at 6pm for the 5.30pm setp up 🤪 I needn't have worried as everyone was running late. The Feelgood guys weren't there either, nor was one of the sound guys. I toddled off for a chicken shish, came back whilst the main guys were setting up, although their singer was still not there. Anyhow, all was well. Doors opened late at 7.30, we kicked off at 8pm to a largely filled room. I don't honestly think we could have played any better and we really went down well. A couple of people said they came just to see us! Loads of great comments afterwards, notaby from the gig promoter, MC for the night, DJ and local music celeb, Foz, who said some really fab stuff about us when we had done. One of those real 'warm glow inside, still smiling about it' type of gigs. I didn't stay for all the Feelgood gig as I wanted to head off home before it got too cold/late. Journey home took half as long. Next one is the end of January. I love this band 😍 Awful pic from someone's Facebook page who was there.

    Funny how the market waxes and wanes - these come along so rarely and a couple of years ago this would have gone on the first day! Bump for a 'USA quality bass for less than a Squier'

    It seems to be slowly grinding to a halt locally, which is a shame. I've joined 3 bands via JMB including my current lot and generally still look most days. Not sure why as I'm not in the market for a second band but I suppose you never know.

    S'manth bought my Hondo Alien in the most straight forward of deals. Met up locally, had a brief natter despite it being -3C outside. A pleasure doing business

    Do you look at it and every time think - I wish this looked smarter? if so get it refinished. If you look at it and think about all the good times you've together and the missing bits don't even enter your head unless it is the small hours - then don't. FWIW I woudln't, but it isn't my bass.

    This is still available Collection from Benfleet in Essex, which is between Basildon and Southend, a few mins south of the A13. I don't want to use a courier at the moment and have priced it to take a collection journey into account. I am in Ipswich tomorrow for a gig if that helps anyone. Bridge pickup works but output is weaker than the neck, 3-way selector switch does either or both Pic shows arrangement of tuners. Space looks a bit tight for a 5th one to me but doable with a complete reshuffle. But then you'd have to change the bridge and everything else.

    Why, WHUFC?

    Hi! Send me a personal message - if you hover over my picture on the left a window will pop up and you'll see the link to message there. Collection only, don't forget! I could have sold it three times if I was posting it.
  13. Paul S
    I can't remember! I'll give it a try tomorrow.
  14. Paul S
    Minor update, I have changed the strings to an old set of rounds as I wanted the TI Flats for something else.
  15. Paul S
    Off hold now, potential buyer is struggling to arrange collection.

    30" scale. Not sure that, at 65, I qualify as a youngling. It is just short scale, some folks prefer them
  17. Paul S
    @Happy Jack I think?
  18. Paul S
    This would look great on a wall hanger in your new rehearsal space, Russ.... just saying.
  19. Paul S
    Thank you.
  20. Paul S
    That top is marvellous! Out of curiosity, are you able to weigh it fairly accurately?
  21. Paul S
    Still available. Just to say - it is small, strat-sized! Here is a pic next to it's big brother, my latest addition

    On hold for a bit.

    I enjoyed that, Jon. Stong tune, well played. Felt to me like a prog Big Country.
  24. Paul S
    Someone's coming to have a look tomorrow, so kind of on hold until then

    Simon and Patrick S&P 6 Cedar acoustic guitar. Not electro-acoustic. Sounds fab, not bad nick, few scuffs. Stagg ABS case. Priced to sell at £200 collected from South Benfleet in Essex or maybe meet half way.
