@Marc S to answer your question, yes it sounds faaaar more expensive than 102 quid. Really superb tone... smooth lows and crisp glassy highs, and lots of power. I still can't believe my luck, a Spector for the price of an Encore.

Anthony Jackson plays sitting down, and always has. I know it's not very rock'n'roll, but if it's good enough for him... I bet that shower will feel like absolutely the best thing ever. Fantastic news all round.

Another vote for John Giblin here.

Looking back through the last four pages, I can only conclude that when you said "discuss" what you actually meant was "agree with me or else".

We only need one Nick Beggs thread really.

Watching the mighty James Taylor Quartet, in Burnham-on-Sea of all places. Oh my word ❤

Chris bought my old Comfort Strapp, and made a very generous donation to a charity close to my heart. Thanks mate, much appreciated.

This is a proper veteran, it's been round the block many, many times. I've probably had it for 20 years or more and, well, it sort of shows. Scruffy as heck, but it still works. It's the Long (38"-45", 96-114cm) version; the button holes were enlarged to take Schaller straplocks (see pic) and, having heard a few horror stories about the plastic buckles failing, I reinforced all the buckles with cable ties (also see pic). They'd do as an emergency measure long enough to stop your bass from hitting the floor. So yeah, it's v.scruffy, but it would do as a spare. Bass Direct want £36 for a new one of these, this is yours for just a couple of quid for postage. Plus if possible, please drop a fiver into a charity box some time -- ideally an Alzheimers/dementia charity, but I'll leave the choice to you.- 1 reply

Bought James' Minotaur strap, arrived quickly and was in better condition than he'd described. Proper bargain, many thanks James. You're a gent.

Those were mine and, as you say, god alone knows how that happened. It's not like I've ever driven them particularly hard. They'd be well worth having a crack at for anyone who's got the ability and time.

Anyone going to see Frank Dunnery on Sunday 22nd January
Rich replied to police squad's topic in General Discussion
I used to be a big fan, but... he and I had a falling out over a comment he made on Farcebook. As a result he unfriended me and then blocked me... the FB equivalent of picking up his bat & ball and stomping off home. Nige (xilddx of this parish) was involved and got the same treatment from him. I still love his music, but him? not so much. TL;DR - nope. -
Pfretzschner Bless you.

Am I the only one amused by the fact that people are going out of their way to comment on a topic called "Let's Talk About Progressive Rock" specifically to tell us all that they don't want to talk about progressive rock?

Please tell me that this isn't going to turn into yet another "how can Wals possibly be worth it" thread. I was in dire financial straits a few years back and came within an ace of putting my beloved Wal up for sale purely for the money. I knew I couldn't do it when simply writing the advert made me blub. Thank got I didn't, it's doubled in value since then.

Oh, Charlotte. I know it's 2023 and we don't say such things any more, but can I just say a quick 'phwoarr'? Phwoarr. Thanks.

Spotted a really handsome P copy on my local Farcebook marketplace... nice purple finish with only a couple of minor dings, maple neck, on close viewing the action looked pretty low which was a good sign, and very cheap too... so I thought I'd get it as a possible base for modding... send a message... I missed it by 10 minutes apparently 😭
