Dead Men Don't Need Season Tickets - Half Man Half Biscuit

I'm the same, I can always tell when the TV is even just a couple of points above "normal". "Loud" environments make me cringe and try to avoid them like the plague. I was once laughed at for taking earplugs to an acoustic gig (though there was a PA there). Resisted getting some ACS Custom plugs for years, but now I have, I'd be reluctant to go back (though I do have spare ER20s).

Mississippi Queen - Mountain

ACS Custom Pro 17's. Highly recommended here. Originally had the 20dB filters in, but they were too efficient, so I replaced them with the 17bB filters. Very glad I did.

Cold As Ice - Foreigner

Rebel Yell-tsin - Billy Idol

My dream bass was always a 4001. Haven't owned one yet, but I do have a 4003, which is close enough in my book. (EDIT): I suppose "the dream bass" would be a "rare" or transparent finished 4001 or 4003 with figured body wings. A blueburst would be cool too.

Thirsty & Miserable - Black Flag / Saint Vitus

Dedicated Follower of Fashion - The Kinks

You'll need to fill out a Method Statement & Risk Assessment to carry it in to wherever you're playing (plus a compliment of Roadies!).

Money Is Not Our God - Killing Joke

Fantastic looking bass. Enjoy.

I'd be between a Les Paul or an SG. However, I own 2 Ibanez Iceman (Icemen? Though one's been commandeered by my son). https://ibanez.fandom.com/wiki/File:2006_IC400_BK.jpg

Sweet Home Alabama - Leonard Skinhead

Time is Money (Bastard) - SWANS

That's the bit that really annoyed me (and the guitarist). Plus the fact that he says some really, really cringey stuff on stage and in the social media posts.

Angel Interceptor - Ash

Went through a phase of collecting late 70's/early 80's MIJ guitars, specifically Tokai Love Rock's & Ibanez Artist & Iceman. Great guitars, rubbish guitar player. Bizarrely, didn't buy any basses. Sold them on because I was a bit strapped for cash. I see the point in having them if you're going to play them, but beyond that, it's in the realms of more money than sense.

Recently quit the band I co-founded with the guitarist 10 years ago, fortunately, there's no kit to divvy up or anything, so that's a plus. The guitarist wants me back, the drummer does too, but he's also wanting to keep the singer, who I have an issue with. The singer is half our age, mid-twenties, and is keen. He also does a solo show around the local pubs & clubs. I was taking my son to his band rehearsal, and saw the singer come out when the previous band finished. He told me (awkwardly) that he was "just jamming" with them. A few months later, we'd agreed to do a charity benefit gig with 3 other bands. However, the singer turns up with all of his keyboards. The guitarist was really put out by this, and a big discussion ensued. "No one is bigger than the band", however the night turns into the singer's showpiece, appearing in 2 bands, then guesting with the headline band for a few songs. The next gig, supporting the band from the previous gig, over 100 miles away (and no cash to cover fuel), he's all pally with them, they basically ignore us, I wasn't in the best of moods anyway as the transport arrangements changed drastically the day before the gig. Played first, then effed off home. The singer comes across as a nice lad initially, but as you get to know him, he comes across as self obsessed. He certainly never told the rest of us about the other bands, and especially didn't tell us about the various gigs he's playing with them, including slots at a couple of festivals that he knows that we've been trying to get on for a few years. Anyway, considering my options...

Gear4Music San Francisco Bass Would really like to have a play on a Warwick Star, or the Italia. The dream wold be a Ric 4005 (or a lottery win! 😄).

Baby Snakes - Zappa

Am I Going Insane - Black Sabbath
