@lee650ace work, ace basses…(miss that amber chronically) - Cora is mint. Sorry we didn’t do more time in Morecambe this summer. see you October sweet cheeks x

I’d normally save Dave Wilson - but he’s not working currently. Tom Diggins (TDog Custom) has stopped taking on work as he’s swamped. SIMs have stopped doing paint jobs now I think too? Bow finishing come highly recommended

Lewis bought a Yamaha from me - fortunately he was passing by for an event so I got to meet him. It was brief - but all comms were ace and he’s a lovely bloke. Enjoy!

Here we go

🤷🏻‍♂️

Have logged in - looking forward to it.

Really nice bloke, phenomenal player and great educator. Best wishes to him.

Well…that’s a beauty. Had a Fender CS55 relic (just like stings bass) and I regret selling it daily. Congratulations - if you ever need a babysitter for it…🥸

I’ve always had positive conversations with Mark and Ashley. Ive spent about £7k with them over 5 years, more than any other retailer… that says a fair bit.

just found this on Pinterest… it’s my old picture of my old smith burner deluxe…jeez

Ah - I was very close to a peacock blue one at some point via peavey UK. can’t recall why I didn’t…😩

Have you still got the peacock blue one @kodiakblair

Yeah - if that popped up today…I’d be snapping your arm off.

Things may have changed…but there used to be a warehouse in Essex (East grinstead…) Shops would be invited down to b-stock sales and receive big discounts which would be passed on in store as “b-stock” sales. the level of discount would obviously be according to the level of b-stockness 😏 could well be different now.

californication, by the way and stadium arcadium were all done with a “clean” John Frusciante…

dad was 40 in 1994 - 43 by the time I was listening to oasis/playing bass.

I remember getting ridiculously giddy over a price list I saw which came out around the time of the Korean made Jazz 24, lite ash tele/strat and esquire gt guitars - all about 2003/4… ”Set Neck P Bass (MIK) - £599” I kept phoning Fender GBI and they eventually said “yeah, it’s not happening”. Sometimes they announce/list stuff - and then pull it. Judging by recent redundancy rumours etc at fender; maybe these will be a casualty?

I remember being in a club somewhere absolutely smashed out of my tree - it wasn’t my usual rock night dive… It was what I’d call a “Scally dive” - think I’d broke up with a girl and was trying to play the field… Anyhow, “Zephyr Song” came on and the entire place went mental… I couldn’t get my head around that song, and I always skip it if it comes on. I went to see RHCP live for the 5th/6th time soon after - and the crowd was more chavvy/scally…and again, I just couldn’t get my head around it. They’re just a going through the motions money machine now - and that’s sad. I actually enjoyed the stuff they did with Josh. The Getaway specifically. My daughter keeps on talking about this phenomenon when Running Up That Hill/Master of Puppets crops up following Stranger things bringing the tracks to a new audience - she says “urgh dad, you’re such a bitter gatekeeper…” Apparently I’m now my own dad who used to slate Oasis as “a crap Beatles cover band” in the 90’s.
