    Nice one, I depped with a mate's Blondie trib many moons ago and it was great fun. The basslines are awesome, and fabulous things to play. The only thing I didn't like was wearing my spiky wig. A bit too sweaty betty for my liking.

    Back in the 80s I wore half a dozen different Great Frog rings on various fingers. The only playing problem I ever had with them was the one on my right hand pinky finger, the ring kept flying off while I was playing and I nearly lost it a few times. I took to wearing it on a neckchain for gig nights.

    My TC 250w combo is more than adequate for gigs, certainly in pubs or where there's a PA, and I use it for rehearsals too. My home practice 'amp' is a Pandora and a set of cans.

      @Happy Jack would that be the bass Mr Beggs recently got back again? It was trumpeted on social media somewhat I believe, not that I pay attention to that sort of thing...

      Correctamundo, and whoever sold it to him apparently got a premium price for it.

      No idea who that was. @Clarky prised it out of my hands, telling me it was a bass he just HAD to have, then sold it a few months later. 🙄😂

      Guilty as charged m'lud. Would love to love Wals (cool AF) but, my several flirtations each ended up with me moving the bass on in relatively short order due to one or both of weight and neck profile. Glad Mr Beggs has it back!

    If the 'neck thru' bit was slightly more orange, that'd be Gulf racing colours very cool

    It cannot possibly be a whole year my GOD, where does the time go. Still much missed. I hope he and @OldGit are having a proper laugh and some good jamming up there.

    OK, everyone calm the flip down please. If you want to argue, do it via PMs. Not here. Your luscious, pouting mod team would hate to have to lock the thread, but if it descends into acrimony, it's toast.

    I don't mind playing for nothing, i.e. losing money, if the charity is close to home. Alzheimer's or some such. Generally though I'd ask for a bit of petrol money, 20 quid is better than nothing. We did a charity gig some time ago and I was expecting just expenses but they gave us a pretty substantial wedge. I stuck some of it in one of the collecting buckets on my way out the door.

    Brain: hey! You remember that REALLY irritating song from the late 70s, the one you absolutely loathe and detest with every fibre of your being?

    Me: don't. Just... don't.

    Brain: you know, the one that went 🎶laa de-daa, dum-dum-dum🎶?

    Me: please, please don't.

    Brain: 🎶laa de-daa dum-dum-dum, laa de-daa dum-dum-dum🎶

    Me: nooooooooo

    Brain {3 hours later}: 🎶laa de-daa dum-dum-dum, laa de-daa dum-dum-dum🎶

    Me: *sobbing*

      I had forgotten just how genuinely terrible that bag o' sheeite was. No redeeming features apart from the fact that eventually it stops.

      Apologies in advance for being the resident pedant (moi?) but it was actually released in 1991. I think you had to be on the rights drugs. She went on to have two more hits, so there's really no accounting for taste.

    Here's an example - 2:23 to 3:15, an absolute masterclass. https://youtu.be/hqWdNSDc-uc?si=IIO-yhPChaDf07tc&t=143
