I loved these as a youngster. Bought a Thunder 3a because our ‘Enry had one.

Just say no. Worked on Grange Hill or was it byker grove or neighbours and away or Emerdale-Enders?

Its jazz, there are no wrong notes. 🦧

I do find the same. Playing fretless in the dark is less scary than fretted for me too. “Wrong” notes can be slid into “right” ones, and with a bit more top rolled off, slight intonation imperfections can be less noticeable. Whereas I find a wrongly fretted note is more obvious.

No he plays Bass for cods sake.

It sounds like the love child of Elvis Costello and Pauline Black. I’ve Renamed the song “Watching the detectives on my radio”

Unorganised band members. Lazy band members. Band members. Members.

I’ve been looking at suitable couriers to send a classical guitar, in a hard case and box with packing materials inside to France from UK. I’d rather the insurance covered both damage and loss, but can’t seem to find anything for less than £79. Then the buyer will need to pay taxes on value of guitar. Seems a very expensive business. Anyone had good experience of doing this at a more reasonable cost? Thanks for any help. John

Maybe this is for repairs and technical? If so please move. However, I’m after an Xtender and need a bit of advice about which model to look for. I’m thinking B2. But it’s for this headstock with Gotoh lollipops in. But I’m not fussed if it’s not a lollipop head on one tuner tbh. Is it literally a case of just measuring everything and seeing which model fits?

I’m struggling to get a good slap sound. Any ideas?

@Chris Stitt Chris bought a line6 110 combo from me. Paid quickly and has been patient whilst waiting for delivery. Nice guy to deal with.

Mike made me buy a fretless bass, not only that he made me pay in instalments, plus he insisted on bringing said bass to my house prior to payment. He is a cruel man! 😂 As usual, a pleasure to deal with! 😎

What would be your bass gig of choice from all of history?

I’d swap with my mate Alan. -
Quotation marks removed. Bit “unnecessary” 😂

Most church music groups consist of volunteers. It’s set up to remove any need to improve, as they’re doing everyone a favour by serving. Very difficult to mange expectations. I got out of dodge a few years ago, stuck myself in the sanctuary with a guitar, looper pedal and book of psalms and ancient prayers. Never felt more at home and free from politics.

I’ve never known that conversation go well, in or out of church. Once someone has “enjoyed” themselves with a mic for any length of time (without an intervention), that ship has sailed, the bridge has been crossed, the rubicon has been leapt, reason has left the building, and so on….
