    Yes watched it too. What great players he had around him, loved Ron Carter telling him to do one when asked to change to electric. 😊

    1976 went with a mate to Hammersmith odeon to see some band he got tickets for. Kiss 1980? Went to the Greyhound Pub, Fulham palace road, as was our habit. On walked 3 blokes with massive quiffs, blew me away. Stray Cats. 1980’s whenever me and mates had a few quid, we’d go to the Venue in Victoria, often saw QTips, who were a great band, with a certain Paul young on singing duties. Band who supported us a couple of times, had some sweaty called Alan McGee, he did alright.

    “These machine heads are much better at the wrong angle” ”The nut is meant to be cut this low” ”The new headstock logo in Sharpie will enhance the value fo’ Sho’. “ All turned out to be lies, can’t believe it...😢

    Well these are now sold. Used set, came of a bass I bought a while back. Sound fabulous bowed, just a little stiff for my liking. Threads are a bit bare at peg end on all but E string. I don’t know the manufacturer, and initially thought they were dominants, but I was reliably informed by previous owner that (and I quote) “the metal was forged from the mines of Andobrynm by the Wood pixies of Ellogoran. The silks are harvested from the fur of the (undomesticated) Tree Giraffe. And, when bowed, will summon the Great Banholven and all it’s power!!!” He then put the pipe back in his mouth, and the sound of bubbling started over. I’m not convinced. But for £20 it’s worth a punt?

    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.....

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

    One of the best VFM instruments in my experience. Versatile, nice weight, usual great Yamaha QC. Played one for 10 years, passed it on to a young fella who’s still got it. GLWTS

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

    Love a Bassix! Wonder how difficult it would be to swap it to right handed? Nut and bridge tinkering?

    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?
