Rich

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.

As ped said: What's the link you're trying to open? We don't have a blogs section.

Jollity Farm - Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band

Thank god! I've updated my entry to suit.

Night Bus to Dalston - Bad Manners

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. Unless cash flow dictates earlier sale, this will include: a couple of BF cabs (either SC Gen 3s or Two10s, to be decided); BF One10; Maruszczyk Elwood 30" scale; Spector Bantam if still unsold (already posted FS); Eden WT550 if still unsold (already posted FS); Ampeg PF800. 'Keepers' also on display will be: the other pair of BF cabs; my no. 1 gig bass 'Rascal Mervyn-Lyte; 'Rascal Lyte Mkll - provided I can decide what it's going to be in time for AndyJr to build it; my no 1 gig amp (Subway 800+); my old no 1 gig amp (Genzler Magellan 800). 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).

Right, you're banned. Say your goodbyes.

Blondie, 'Atomic'.

'Plays like butter' needs to get in the sea. Dreadful phrase - what, you means it leaves my fingers all greasy?

Snap - Kevin Federline

Two Hearts - Chris Isaak

Jerusalem - Blake/Parry

Or a Monkees set -- James Last Train to Clarksville...

Wals and Jaydees? Apples and oranges.

Is That What You Want? - The Knickerbockers

A 1960s Jazz that was in Guitar Village in Farnham. I was itching to try it, but it was rougher than a badger's árse. It hasn't put me off wanting a YOB ('65) though.

Fishier than a dead haddock in the sun. The seller is utterly stupid at best.

Church of the Poisoned Mind - Vulture Club

Yes, I remember that interview. IIRC it was a single driver in a not-quite-sealed flightcase, cranked to the edge of destruction & miked up. I think he called it 'The Trunk'. It had its own channel on the desk. You can hear it clearly on some of the tracks on Empire.

Madman Across the Water - Elton John

This is one of my all time favourite rock bass tones.
