  1. People will believe what they want to believe.
  2. Flats fer me.
  3. An Eagles tribute show in Richmond, North Yorkshire last night. A fun gig as always, but notable for being in one of the oldest theatres (c.1788) in the UK.
  4. I wonder if you can see the side dots on this one? It's a big flaw on recent Fender RI's, IMO.
  5. ...not to mention stairs.
  6. I would like to buy them all, and smash them into tiny pieces.
  7. Hi everyone. Got together with @warwickhunt, @cd_david and Tim yesterday for a bit of a plunk and natter. Here's some pics.
  8. …and others are continuing the practice to this day. I’ve heard / seen some eye-opening stuff recently, but unfortunately nothing I’m comfortable sharing at the moment.
  9. Most musicians don’t get a significant chunk of cash every time they create new music.
  10. Urgh (Apologies... I know I'm in a rapidly diminishing minority)
  11. I’ve got a 3TSB / Rosewood from a similar era. It’s a golden period.
  12. A trip from Tyneside across the other side to Liverpool for another Eagles tribute gig. Big brewery / shed type venue - lovely room, lovely staff, top-drawer PA & techs. No monitors, so had to grin and bear IEMs. Still don't love them. New MIJ Jazz - with new pickups - continues to be my friend.
  13. I’m not sure this is a valid parallel - I think the Jaguar campaign was a genuine misstep, rather than a calculated move, hence the CEO taking a walk without a successor.
  14. If you read Beedster's post again, he makes an important point which contributes to the discussion.
  15. Hello! Pretty much what it says up there ^^^^ Thinking of getting some, but wondering if the difference would be huge if I scraped together the extra for Fralins, etc.. instead. TIA!
  16. Apparently the 'current' version has an alder body. That said, although mine is supposed to be basswood, it's 9.4lbs so it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be alder.
  17. There’s one crucial detail which differentiates this from someone playing air guitar…
  18. Anyone who truly believes that lassie is playing that awful din is beyond help.
  19. Update: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BASS Honestly, it's a stunner. It feels alive. I may change the pickups for something potted (I can be quite heavy-handed) but it sounds amazing with flats. Here's a clip from a dep with my Son's band this afternoon.
  20. This afternoon.. a bit of a special one for me - I gigged with my son for the first time ever. He's 13, the rest of the band are 15/16, but they're pretty accomplished for their age. An afternoon stuffed with proud Dad moments.
  21. The hell even is that?

    Jazz

    i should pop my new'un up. A bit of a rare bird... details here:
  23. Wait.. have I missed it, or has no-one has mentioned Howard's Bass Place in Newcastle yet? The shame!
  24. Ah - you're assuming it was in tune at the time the photo was taken... 😇
