Yes please: P bass 4 string passive unlined fretless with Natural finish and tort pick-guard. And Old blonde ply double basses. Ok go on then: As above but fretted. No thanks: Everything else. 😆

That’s a great song title btw

Who needs the rear single coil pickup on a fretless jazz anyway? 🤦🏻‍♂️

That’s Midsomer Norton for you! 😆

Hoping to get to this, lists NWR as in band. https://www.cheeseandgrain.com/events/the-blockheads/ btw he’s had his teeth done 😊

I thought he was still performing with the Blockheads?

I love this tone on this tune. But funnily enough I don’t like it for my own sound. I remember seeing WA at Hammersmith Odeon back in 70’s. I was appalled at MT gobbing on the stage, which had a nice carpet (no idea why, but it’s what I first think of when recalling that gig). Argus was me and my mates “fancy a night in with some herbal augmented smokes?” go to album.

Mr Capaldi seems a very funny guy, but I couldn’t understand a word he was singing, which was a shame as he can clearly hold a note. Although the weird wobbly bottom jaw thing at the end of each sentence was a bit distracting. I think Ronnie should have let Ms May take the vocals tbh. Foals were not unpleasant, violin person was interesting, I liked the harmonies in the strat playing female lead singer band. My comprehensive and informative reviews are available for a large fee

I like both flats and rounds. My preferred rounds on a P are Ernie ball nickels. Smooth to touch but still a bit of grit.

So I guess your (or someone else’s) mass purchase distorts the market? I’m not phased by this, although the high numbers available could compress the price. Perhaps delaying selling or buying so many would have an effect. My theory is a bit loopy, and echoes previous comments however. Sorry

Or all the lead singers and guitarists you could have ejected at high speed...🥴

It’s gone! Slappie’s a Snoozer loser.

I don’t mind so much if a song starts too fast or too slow, it’s not great, but it’s better than my pet hate of a drummer slowing down gradually through a song. Not the deliberate act of correcting tempo and maintains it, but usually due to a lack of concentration, boredom or stamina, unacceptable! 🤬

Just need to jiggle a few coins around first (kids at university means every penny is counted by the “accountant” 😆) I know you’re a fan too! So in the meantime if you or anyone else is able to jump on it, go for it man! 😎 I’m notoriously a ditherer.

Maybe I should just buy it and put a request out to the general Bc population.

Blimey. If someone was prepared to pick that up and meet half way to Bath they can have the cab for their trouble! £100 for the head, still seems a good price! 😮

Sorry dude. 😊 If I did get inked I really have no idea what I’d get done. Unlikely to be a bass guitar image though, although a double bass or a bass clef tatt could be tempting.

I do have tats but, as I’m not from Glasgow, I call them moobs! 🤪 In all seriousness, this was a google image. I don’t have any tattoos, and at 58 I think the only meaningful bit of ink now would be my address.

I got a tattoo of the first bass I bought when I joined BC, then overwritten with each replacement, here’s the result.

6’4” 18 st My double bass is the only band mate I see eye to eye with.

Maybe try writing on a different instrument than you would normally do? What’s your “go to method”. Lyrics first? Riff/chord patterns first? Try changing stuff around. Read some different literature to get inspired for a story/theme? I feel your frustration but changing my normal MO tends to “prime the pump”. Hope you find your flow soon?
