  1. This is a great idea, and more bands need to do this.
  2. Nooooooooooooooooooooo *takes breath* oooooooooooooooooooooo. 😢
  3. *thinks* I don't know how much longer I can keep this in... wish I hadn't gone overboard with the hard boiled eggs at lunch...
  4. IMO anyone who hasn't yet seen/played that glorious black Epiphone LP of yours really needs to. One of my favourite basses at the SWBB.
  5. It's in the diary!
  6. For me, the bass of the day was @Rosie C's lovely doghouse.
  7. What a completely brilliant day that was. Absolutely the bestest SWBB yet. As always, huge colossal thanks to @scrumpymike, Mrs Scrumpy and the Scrumpettes (oh god, the crumble ❤️) and of course Graham at the door. I don't know about the rest of you, but I am seriously considering a cab full of 8" speakers after the astonishing results of the shootout. Thanks Phil, it was intriguing.
  8. Sadly, circumstances being what they are, I'm now a definite can't rather than a maybe.
  9. Rhymes with "doll". Paid £330 for mine in '86.
  10. If they're as good as my V7 they'll be great, but I'd need to A/B test it with a Cort Space. I wouldn't want to jump in feet first with a fan-fret only to find that I didn't get on with it.
  11. I've removed the 'RIP' from the thread title, as it appears (to paraphrase Oscar Wilde) that rumours of their demise were an exaggeration
  12. I'm not sure she'd enjoy having a bass plugged into her... 😳
  13. Now that's a good idea. I think I'll stick Pandora and cans in my bag. @scrumpymike, is your paypal ID the same as last year?

  15. Just dropped my Wal off with Paul at Electric Wood. Had a lovely chat with him. There are some lovely necks and bodies hanging up in his shop, ready to be bolted together. My favourite was what looked like a Mk2 5-string body, with bird's-eye maple top, in a translucent red lacquer. Oh my god.

      I've been down there a few times over the years, and Paul and his team make beautiful instruments. Everything there just oozes quality. Makes me want to get another Wal!

      Hey Rich - What's the best way to contact him regarding servicing work?  I've sent emails a couple of times over the past couple of years but never got any replies.  My 85 MK1  needs a new Jack socket and one filter knob replaced..

      I've been communicating with Paul via this email address, it might take a while for him to respond but he usually does. Alternatively, might be worth giving him a call.

  17. Nope, the TRCs on her Rickies (and they're real ones) really do say Rickenbecky.
  18. She was indeed, and she is their current bassist. I've known Becky for many years, in fact she actually depped for me waaaay back in the dim distant. Since then I've watched her career rocket off through the roof, and it's all down to her hard work and determination. She's a great example to us all, regardless of gender.
  19. I'm in a ska & reggae band, there's nine of us and we're all white. I'm saying nothing. 🤐
  20. My gorgeous granddaughter's first birthday today. My god, it doesn't seem like five minutes etc.
