Wow, wow, wow. You have two killer basses on sale, @Bunion. Both are very tempting but I have to stay strong. I will, I am sure. Definitely. Maybe. 🙂

Probably not all will go to charities. On the official website, it only says "Donations from the auction will be supporting The Christie charity and Epilepsy Society". www.omegaauctions.co.uk/news-media/news/the-peter-hook-signature-collection-2021/

BB Fans, just watched the "Peter Hook Signature Collection" mini documentary with Hooky. Made me think of you, especially this screenshot 😉

Interesting "behind the scenes" short documentary on YT: With The Peter Hook Signature Collection – New Order exhibition taking place this week at Omega Auctions before the auction this Friday 8th October, here with a behind the scenes mini documentary with Hooky interviewed by Paul Fairweather showcasing the event.

Now I am curious. Of course I will check the marketplace even though I shouldn't. 😎 Speaking of the BC marketplace, there is still a great Euro 4 with solid flame maple wings on offer there. Cannot understand why no one has bought it yet. For a NS-2, solid quilted maple wings (don't know about flame ones) cost $1,499.00 extra (and that was a few years ago, probably even more now). Anyway, I was really tempted by that Euro but just could not justify buying it (but it was close). I have a NS-2 on order and I am still on the hunt for a Stingray Classic (natural finish and maple fingerboard). Moreover, I have too many basses for a living room player anyway. Ok, hmm, well, let's see if I can resist your temptations, @Bunion 😉

Great suggestions but all very expected and therefore all very unpunk. Punk is against the establishment so if you want to be really punk, you don't play a P or any of the usual suspects. Play a cheap Hofner Beatles bass copy, or a Danelectro Longhorn or a Burns Bison bass or maybe the new Nordstrand Acinonyx. Or whatever someone does NOT affiliate with punk.

Great video 👍 For me, the sunburst sounded the best but the Nate looked the best 🙂

No idea. Maybe some streaming services have it too, but I am currently not subscribing to any of them. Spent too much money on basses 😉 It also got released on DVD.

You could get yourself the Timmy C sig model with the height adjustable finger ramp.

Ok, this is not really Nirvana related (although it features one of the band members) but for the 100th reply, I thought, why not. After all, it's my thread and I can do whatever I want. Isn't that what punk was all about? Anyway, here you go, enjoy and feel free to re-enact it at your first/next wedding 🙂

True but first I will ask my good friend Jim Adler to sue @NancyJohnson for stealing my post from yesterday 😉

"a one string wonder" - I like it 👍

And if I cannot convince you, maybe Nicki can 😉

Well, I really enjoy playing Sea of Sorrow and playing it loud, very loud. I think it is great but, as a diehard AIC fan, I am probably a bit biased 🙂

Poor Vince. He really needs to get in shape. Maybe he should talk to these guys 😉

Just saw this on the news. Must be a big Nirvana fan: "Enthusiast marks album’s 30th anniversary with 150km ride around Adelaide using Strava to sketch naked baby Pete Stokes rode about 150km on a single-speed bike to sketch the outline of the famous Nevermind cover. His efforts, tracked by GPS-based site Strava, show the baby’s (slightly angry) face over the CBD and the banknote over the leafy eastern suburbs of Burnside and Kensington."

I recently watched the excellent (but sad) documentary "Cure for Pain: The Mark Sandman Story". Mark was known for his two-string slide bass but he actually started with a one-string bass. This made me think, what are cool songs that only use one string? Ok, I'll make a start with this one:
