Yeah. I want to go to Wal. It will require me being left alone for a couple of hours and a few trips to the car with various bits of bass. I will not be questioned and charges will not be pressed. Basically. I want to steal a Wal. While pretending to be a filmmaker.

I want to look at the prices of the classic j. they seem to be discontinued. my wallet is happy to hear this. my hands and ears…not so much.

So many times it hurts. Stupid eyes.

I came away from that wanting one. good advert.

Who was that Al?

Shabooom. Yup.

So, instead of whinging and just saying “what a disappointment” - I messaged my mate last night who shared an appreciation for the RHCP…he asked what I thought; “Black summer” has grown on me, I really like “Here ever after”. “Aquatic mouth dance” - absolutely fine by me, works well. And to be honest, can’t imagine that on a Stingray or Modulus…some ace little bits from Flea. And trumpets 😊. “Not the one” - I dunno. It’s ok. Hate the chorus. “poster child” - again, has grown on me a bit, but Still feels like a b side… “The Great Apes” - 🤷🏻‍♂️ B side/filler. “It’s Only Natural” - just sounds thrown together, not great. “She’s a Lover” - music is ok, lyrics are crap. “These are the ways” - just sounds confused. And like a The Who had a baby with the 90’s Foo Fighters. Every review is going on about “whatchu Thinking” - it’s alright, one of the better ones on the album. I suppose. “Bastards of light” - Hahaha, sounds like musical theatre…dunno, meh. “White Braids and Pillow Chair” - lost me at the title. A grand title for a song which doesn’t deserve it. Magnolia in song form. “One Way Traffic” - Good energy, there’s a bit of something about it…again, just seems a bit lost. “Veronica” - doesn’t do anything, just meanders around in its own nothingness - if a song depicts a journey - this one is about standing still. “Let Em Cry” - Decent, in the way that a lot of the B Sides off Californication singles were. “The Heavy Wing” - fair enough, vocal melody almost the same as verses from Black Summer, he hasn’t got much range…just like one of the weaker tracks off Stadium Arcadium… “Tangelo” - Bleurgh. Again, could be better. Thing is, there are loads of great ideas on this, but the album sounds unfinished - there are moments where there’s a pre chorus lull, and it sounds like the next chord sequence is loading. With all the fanfare of JF’s return, all the time they’ve had to put stuff together and their huge resources/skill. seems a shame ☹️. he just said “it’s crap…” 🤣 there you go, a review nobody asked for - but that’s what I felt as I listened. I remember I wrote off “I’m with you” - but that was followed up by “The Getaway” which I loved.

this one too https://youtu.be/8-rccN7ZsRE

I was in Ireland when they introduced it first. Hated it. Smoked another few years after that - in fairness, the ban and constantly increasing prices (and the smell, the constant “do I stink of cigs?” And the “I can’t breathe”) got me to knock it on the head.

The people who brought it to appraise (wife and son of deceased bass player) both smelled of Old ash trays and stale booze too.

Bet it stinks 😆 thats nicotine that. had an early 70’s p in my hands briefly to appraise…it smelled like 50 year old (damp/full) ash trays and off/stale beer.

Will bring my flasher mac

@lee650 when I come up next week, I’m stealing that Jazz.

Will be for sale soon - get an SR5 to fit it to 🤣😉

An original MM - bought from a guy in Spain who’d changed to a Nordstrand set up. had a crap day for repairs - bought a Gotoh 201b for my yamaha bb1500a and the previous owner must’ve had acid for sweat as the 2 screws near E&A have sheared so I’m walking away. Frustratingly, both snapped under the surface too,

I’ve just done something with halfwounds on a passive jazz - my daughter was gifted them by @walshy but she doesn’t like the feel, so I shoved them on my jazz. Sounds very Flea 2022

So that can go back to rear of volume pot? My crap electronics guess.
