  1. OK, I've got to ask... why is it?
  2. Lori Black, Brent Ashley. Also: Steve Gadd, Carl Perkins, Gerard Way, Hannah Gordon, Hugh Hefner, Dennis Quaid, Lenny 'Guvnor' McLean, Seve Ballasteros, Jacques Villeneuve, and the god-like Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Also, Concorde 002 made its maiden flight on my birthday so perhaps I could include that on the list?
  3. Watched a set by Sophie Ellis-Bextor at Bath's Pub in the Park yesterday. At first I thought she might be lip-syncing, but it turns out she's just very good. Her band were on fire too. They did an excellent version of Madonna's 'Like A Prayer' and the bassist (her husband I think? She called him Richard at one point, seems like a coincidence) absolutely nailed Guy Pratt's sublime octaved part on the original.

      I think much of her band is/was made up of members of The Feeling, if not all of them.

  4. Whoops hoist by their own petard! I want to hear song 3 though.
  5. It's a party/picnic in the park thing, everyone is sat on the grass. it's a decent size crowd and they're going down very well.
  6. 'Noasis' in Bath 5 minutes ago.
  7. We kinda take the pss out of the whole thing. Our frontman does something like this: "This is our last song... [Disappointed noises from audience] oh come on, how many gigs have you been to? You know how this works; we finish this song, walk off, cram ourselves into the tiny little area backstage, you yell for more, we come back and do another couple. So yes, this is our errm last song..."
  8. "Never raced or rallied, one careful owner, full MOT but some dents to bodywork..."
  9. I too have no real problem with 'mojo' as long as it's not woefully misused. Its slang definition seems to loosely fit. (slang) Personal magnetism; charm. ... Mojo is defined as good luck, charm or skill that seems to come from something magical or supernatural. An example of mojo is the ability of a man to attract beautiful women.
  10. Fair point 'plays like butter' is worse tho.
  11. When I was growing up, a lad I knew used to swear that 'cliff' was pronounced 'clift'. The white clifts of Dover, etc. Even when the lack of a T was pointed out to him, he still maintained he was right. At the time I thought maybe he was dyslexic, but with hindsight I've realised that he was just a dim and argumentative bellend who needed a slap.
  12. As ped said: What's the link you're trying to open? We don't have a blogs section.
  13. Jollity Farm - Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band
  14. Sorry Frank, but you've got to be on the list. It doesn't look right otherwise. Please cut and paste and add yourself and your gear to the list... @Rich - a) Shuker custom 5, Tanglewood acoustic 4 - both basses strung with nickel Elixirs. b} Korg Pandora (if I can find the feckin thing) and headphones. c) A desperate hope that @scrumpymike's Magellan amp isn't as good as I've heard, otherwise I will want to buy it with money I haven't got. @wrinkleygit - Jabba’s Semi Hollow Fretless, ‘72 Gibson EB0, SWR Working Mans 10 combo & 1x10 ext cab & a set of h’phones. Both basses strung with Labella flats @scrumpymike - Setting aside a bunch of FS stuff to give SW Bashers first shot and minimise packing and shipping work/costs.

All of which will hopefully bring forward the day when Mrs Scrumpy can finally join her old man in retirement 😁 @Pea Turgh - My Frankenstein Jazzguarman(!) strung with D’Addario XL Chrome flats. My black bitsa (same strings). Probably my Peterson combo which I’ll flit between selling and not selling (still). @stevie - Ibanex SR1200-VNF, Ashdown RM500, BCbass 112, plus some other bass cab developments (probably) @yorks5stringer - Warwick Star Bass Proline (4 string), Status GP Artist (again 4 string), Marcus Miller Micro 101, 1972 Telecaster Bass (poss.), Shuker Course 5 String (poss.) @Andyjr1515 - Not yet sure what I will be bringing except my athletic physique and chiselled good looks (and if you believe that.... ) @stewblack - Trace Elliot Rig of Death. Ric inspired 'tributes' various amps and basses for sale unless they shift here first. A hernia (probably). @basstone - For Sale refurbished Marshall DBS200 combo fitted with beyma 12" speaker.

I may even bring my homebrew 500 watt amp designed in conjunction with @Passinwind if finished. @Cuzzie - tbc @MoJoKe - whatever demo gear is left over from the month before (Manchester Bass Show), so will definitely have my Casa rig, probably the new Vintage D2 head (which I am thinking of selling the Casa to buy... it’s that good!), and I'll try and bring Markbass instruments and some packs of the new Markbass strings to give away @olipaulo - Fender Elite Jazz, Status Empathy 5 and PRS SE Kestrel. Markbass CMD 151P, SWR LA15, GK MB112-ii and GK MB212-ii (the last three are for sale so they may be missing from the bash).
