  2. 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?
  3. 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.
  4. Sixteen Tons - Tennessee Ernie Ford
  5. 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.
  6. Still ramping here
  7. 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 😭

      I'm just working on a parts project and I bought a purple Squier PJ body pending getting a Fender Jazz one at some point.

      Yes, it was much the same colour as that. Imagine it with a maple board. Lovely looker. :(

      This one's not in the best condition, but it'll do to hold everything together whilst I'm getting the parts.

      Rich being nosey or scientifically interested, did you have the jab?

      I'm actually 5-jabbed, I received 3 of them as part of the A-Z trial I participated in. However, perhaps crucially, I missed my autumn booster last year. I imagine it left a hole in my immunity. 

  15. I think this has had its 15 minutes of fame.
  16. Train to Skaville are playing our own self-arranged self-promoted NYE bash near Devizes. Pretty much sold out already. Should be a great night, really looking forward to it.
  17. Folks, please if you will keep your fingers crossed for my sister in law today... currently under the brain surgeon's knife to remove a tumour. 🤞🏼

      Hi Rich, only just seen this but fingers and toes immediately crossed!

  18. That's a lovely new tarps.
  19. Oo, now that's a cracking idea. It'd certainly cure the neck dive. Dammit, you're giving me idea now!
  20. To me (and I'm far from an expert) it strikes me not as difficulty with the language so much as simply a bit hurried. It's perfectly readable, just slihgtly wobbbly. There's actually something quite endearing about it in a Grauniad kind of way.
  21. Or a prats?
  22. Kim @kwmlondon and I met up last night to arrange his collection of my EBS cab (which is now on its 4th BC owner!). Thanks to a great idea on his part, we were able to coordinate our arrival times at the rendezvous point to within 5 mins of each other. Smashing guy, a credit to the forum. Hope you have a great xmas with the fam Kim!
  23. Looks like it could be a Rick Turner..?
  24. The problem here is that now I'm looking at a couple of my headed basses and thinking they'd look pretty good with a trip to the guillotine... not so much GAS as GBS
  25. 41 years ago today, the crews of the MV Union Star and the RNLI Penlee lifeboat Solomon Browne all perished in a force 12 storm off the Cornish coast. The actions of the Penlee boat crew were later described by the rescue helicopter pilot as "The greatest act of courage that I have ever seen, and am ever likely to see".

      The ultimate in unappreciated jobs.

       

      Unpaid, being thrown about in the pissing down rain....you wouldn't get me out there.

       

      We should all be glad that somebody else is prepared to though.
