  1. I’d wondered what happened to him too. His posts were like his slapping, not for the feint hearted 🥴
  2. I’ve had a couple of those. The hardware was good, just a pickup and pots upgrade and they were very solid performers.
  3. I think it’s time for optimism. I’ve invested early and bought shares in Mothercare and STD treatment companies. Buying my dream rig in 12-24 months I reckon.
  4. I believe there are a few other companies at advanced stage of producing a vaccine, it’s just that Pfizer were quicker to get to this stage. So they may not have a complete monopoly in the long term. Hopefully will mean that it will be widely available, if larger economies fund them. This may be more likely in one particular country after recent events....
  5. it won’t be the first time a Pfizer product brings relief to the older population....😂
  6. Didn’t really understand a word of the description. What’s the obsession with “Tele” head stocks btw? (terms & conditions apply)
  7. Depends. The knee bone is connected to the thigh bone, but one isn’t better than the other.
  8. Paul, never forget that everything is always someone else’s fault.
  9. Didn’t know they were involved with Aria back in the day. Looks a nice bass.
  10. I’ve got an eye on the Modulator, but not sure what they’re worth?
  11. It’s very near me if anyone needs it picking up. I’m in Bath so can pass it on in a relay?
  12. If all the delay pedals in the world stopped working one day, CCM would implode. 😂
  13. I hear what your saying Mr Smalls, musos can be gear/technique bores. But in my (limited) experience of meeting and watching interviews of “famous band” bassists, they tend to be oblivious to the finer details of equipment and theory. It’s often a case of “I just plug this into that and play, my roadie sorts it all out”. So I think you’ll be safe having a night out with your fav players, they’ll more likely be interested in where the bar is than where the bar begins. 😊
  14. Dee Murray (RIP) and Pierre Brock either side of me, watching Kenny Passarelli supporting Esperanza Spalding.
  15. No worries. Sadly we’re back home from our holiday near you.
  16. Start with front and back doors, then the shed. After that you’re on your own. (sorry)🤡
  17. I’ve got a couple of acres, I think my trousers are too tight.
  18. It wasn’t edifying was it. From memory, the action at the end of the “restoration “ was awful, you would need to take a bus from the string to the fingerboard.
  19. Never weighed it Dave, just from memory. Tended to use it for certain songs on a few gigs, never all way through.
  20. One of my favourite basses to record with. Too heavy to gig with these days.
  21. We’ve had Overrated, underrated & (recently) properly-rated how about Reinstated? I’ll start (and probably end) Derek Forbes. Sacked 1985, Reinstated 1996/7
