Indeed, but never before lunch! ....you must have something to do in the afternoon

Oh happy days indeed...he never called (sigh)

Europe is the most hospitable place to gig in my experience. I rarely gig but U.K. venues have been less than, again in my experience.

Oh THAT’S where it ended up. Started off as a 5 string W@l but I see it’s had some mods over the years. I would.....

Anybody know where one can access the above, new or used. Thanks John

I’ve owned a couple of these limited issue Encore P’s. Very solid build, pickups were pretty good too. Definitely worth £100.

Ouch, yes very colourful! I like the fact that most of his basses are called Les.

Liked!

Yes you are right, it is misappropriation. Thanks. 👍🏻

I’ve asked the doctor to keep it to just the finger for now.

To be fair Frank, your GP will do it for free.

I like some hip hop. Usually the backing track has groove and the rhythm of the “rap” itself, particularly when it’s slightly behind the beat. I’ve often thought about writing and recording something myself. But I’d want to do something relatable to my demographic. But would that be cultural appropriation? But then again, who wants to hear some bloke in his 50’s spitting about prostate rectal examinations, losing his keys, forgetting why he entered a room and reoccurring back problems? “Make sure that finger is well gelled doc, thought I left my keys by the kitchen clock, what the foook did I come in here for? See?

Perspective is fascinating to me (but that’s just my perspective). Stewart Lee (to me) isn’t as clever as (he gives the impression) he thinks he is. I don’t care much for the cynical at the best of times, and his brand of cynical snarling observations just isn’t funny to me. So I guess I don’t have a sense of humour (if we applied the “if I don’t like it it’s sheet” algorithm). Steely Dan? I like some of their music, (most of their music actually). Lyrically funny at times, obscure at times, dull at other times. Musically, I like their fusion of influences. They tend to write a good singable hook over some pretty complex changes (not easy btw). My perspective is that they haven’t set out to be “clever”, but by default they are. But it’s just an opinion, just a perspective. Neither is “right/wrong” . Will I watch Stewart Lee if he happens to be on tv when I’m watching it? Yes of course, I’m not going to shut the door just because I don’t enjoy his approach, but many do, and so I’ll respect that and hope to find a nugget despite my “preference filter” being permanently switched on. Do I think SD are perfect....no. Does anyone care? I sincerely hope not. First world problems btw P basses are all you need..............,,😘

This: Just looks nice. Might sound like a cow of course, but who cares? I would look fabulous, and that’s why I am in a band. “It’s all in the fingers”!? Its all in the hairdo mate 😎

You’ll Spoil something(S)

There have been a couple of references to tickling gonads with LPs. I think you’re doing it wrong.

You don’t like it. That’s ok. There’s loads of “classic” stuff I don’t get, no matter how hard I try. I’m not sure there’s anything to “explain” that will help either.

I got interviewed in my pants once. The nice detective let me go eventually. I wonder how much say “made it”’ artists have these days regarding interviews. Isn’t that all directed by whoever you are owned by?

Having 2 older brothers (by 9 & 10 years) my musical education that caught my attention, was Bach and Manhattan Transfer from the oldest and The Who, Hendrix and very early Elton John from the other. Melody, harmony, production, songwriting, excitement, balls and great bass playing was my staple diet growing up as a young kid. When I started buying my own records Hot Love Rock n Roll pt 1&2 Slade in Flame sound track. were the first 3 vinyl purchases.

Grate!

I agree about the neck width Matt. I think that’s why I liked it. Wide and flat. Status Groove 5’ers have similar profile. Like them too.
