You’ll definitely forgive me - I promise

This has been a revelation… No arguing, no fussing, no let downs. No Egos. weird, was about to give up completely. 2024 looking good. I auditioned and got the “job” with 3 other bands - but this just felt right. So I let the other bands know and off I went - one set of responses from a particular band were reassuringly horrific…glad I didn’t join that particular band.

Paul bought a Jazz from me - lovely bloke. All very pleasant and above board 😉

Think there are 2 camps on this… 1. Aspirational “wish I had a fender” - but can’t afford. My first bass was a Kay precision where someone prior to me had (hand painted) “Fender Precision Bass” on the headstock - and that was done in the 80’s 2. forgery. A whole other story.

Had blue one in my basket twice in 48 hours. I can’t do it - I know I’d fawn for a few days and then decide I don’t need it. Anyhow… Something else is coming for a visit to see if it’s the right “glass slipper” for this particular Cinderella. And it’s a proper “meet your hero” moment. So, Soloking…close but no cigar.

New band I’ve recently joined have some Roland TD-18/20KV thing. it works. but there’s definitely a keyboard drums vibe still lingering and it doesn’t sit well with me, or the drummer who I’ve drafted in. anyhow. tomorrow is real kit central. Thank god.

Ho good Jesus that needs buying.

Ha, no, something on way which is equally as broad…not Yammy though.

I keep staring at it 😆

Cannot Unsee scared cow…

My mates dad died a few years ago - Pete was a legend, great sense of humour. He asked for “Road To Hell” by Chris Rea He meant the (more famous) part 2 - the Single. we got the Album filler part 1. it was funny. In a way. this track in its entirety is on my funeral plan…

Maple fingerboards with body colour matching headstocks… No idea why. but a 70’s Gibson with a maple board and black headstock (ripper/RD) is fine. no idea. oh, and the early MTD kingstons - don’t mind them having the MHS/Maple combo. really an odd “nah, won’t buy that” thing.

I really liked one I had in stock at a shop years ago. The B was good too. As ever with lots of Gibson bass models, they didn’t stick around long and that’s a real shame.

Good job my wallet is as anemic as it is. This is a near as damn it my absolute dream bass… Well done @Basvarken it’s (ANOTHER) beauty.
