I'm after a Yamaha SLB300 and keep missing those that arrive in UK stores (missed one at Bass Direct and at Bass gallery). It seems they're a whole lot cheaper in Japan and a lot of the sellers offer free shipping also so not only might I get an SLB300 a lot quicker which would help with a few gigs coming up - I'm being told new stock in 2023 by UK shops - but I might also get one cheaper 👍

Hawkwind were about 50 years ahead of the neuroscientists

There's a moment in Fans by Kings of Leon when I'm sure that this guy, singer Caleb Followill....... Mentions this guy, the gloriously talented French Rugby star Imanol Harinordoquy No idea why he would really...... 🤔

So, what bass do you reckon the now sadly departed Juan Nelson is playing on this track folks, thew tone escapes me on every instrument on which I've tried.....?

Set a price x2.0 what it’s actually worth and someone will eventually offer x1.5 🤔

Too many units available and too many options! I need to put the recorder in a suitable spot in the rehearsal room or venue and press record. Would prefer to use internal mics and be able to upload directly to computer i.e., not via a memory card 👍

Canterbury is about to get a whole lot better….

Some bits of wood are heavy, some aren’t. Variation within a species is often as great as between species 🪵

Great thread 🙏

@stereoplayercould you talk me through the bass in the top pic?

Now these do not come up for sale very often, think the last time I saw one was about 10 years back https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154363629818?hash=item23f0ca10fa:g:HEQAAOSw3uZhfWBH&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4DWeNJdwpPlp4FAtN%2FTogkmhahq6pgqmXhwQXfysU5tvmWrlQ30yzm2tZb4F5uhyJ1KUJzS1sc4GU9Xtfl7ADMIolmPhxFiq2b3tiBw0e2S6ipWLg2qNqKupDY%2BkeCAIRjdVa%2Bl%2F7SQJ%2BpiF9v%2FdgXLz2Db9H2%2FSsET9zmtWGqztaG3sA1HUigdDF0DxN37WZ2R0WYGLzYJ69Hg0R3OWKDnrBCncf7X4Imc%2Br11ynzocQktSwxpvz%2FfsHVEATJoW9AyU%2Bh7F1xujvmq670KK%2FsYSk5Q9%2BiuXuI0jS%2FO%2FugXX|tkp%3ABk9SR7CfnKSHYQ Not cheap and not close, but hey, what's money and distance when a bass of this calibre is on offer? I've said many things about this bass over the years, but suspect the below sums it up best.....

So Stanley owns a Marcus sig, interesting 🤔
