My band Lee Ainley's Blues Storm are playing the Harvey's Brewery beer tent on both the Friday and Saturday night of the show. If anyone is going and fancies a mix of less obvious blues-rock covers and originals then come along and say hi! https://www.facebook.com/LABluesStorm/

Oh, and yes, pretty sure there is some info out there (I looked for something similar once) but it is paid for research and VERY expensive.

A lot less than guitars, and I would put my neck on the line to say a lot more being made now than in the 70s.

All yours! See you tomorrow.

I have one Eminence Basslite and one Peavey Black Widow 12" drivers that I need gone. Free to anyone who will take both and can pick up. Burgess Hill - half way between Gatwick and Brighton. https://www.flickr.com/photos/151072544@N08/sets/72157697252644934

Stunningly bad. Have up on it years ago, still get the odd email from them.

Well as you were the other party in my first transaction on here I've got to second this! Oh, and re my previous post, yes, you did leave feedback all those years ago!

Just a thought, from those pictures, the body looks much nicer than the neck, espcially the headstock. Any chance it is a bitsa?

Never had a bad experience, but would love to have three pages of feedback! A lot of people don't remember that bit 🤨

The Fretboard.

Changed sex in the 80's and has never looked back!

I can't believe people can have such closed minds towards any musical form...except Country

Bridge pins can break very easily. On a £99 acoustic bass it would probably be an idea to upgrade them - allparts have some for £3.99.

Wurl, itsa good question.

I have one of these, recommended on here when I was looking, and been very happy with it for years: https://dslstraps.com.au/product-category/premium-straps/garment/padded-garment/

Funnily enough, my reaction after a rehearsal a few weeks back was"Wow, I'd have loved to have been watching that set". I guess, after a lot of hard work my band is getting to be where I want it.

Are we related?

Hard task master is he?

Nice to see Tim in action - cracking guitarist. Oh, bass player was OK too

Loads more work for acoustic duo/trio being advertised. I don't think anyone is excluding bass players, but it is them and drummers who are going to go first, and the drummers (not so daft despite all the jokes) have come up with the cajon, an effective tool to keep them in. Shame for us an upright is so big and expensive, and everything else needs plugging in.

No, strings were OK, just for me, a completely uninspiring instrument. I'm sure someone else would have loved it, but it didn't do it for me even before I knew how much it was selling for!!

Played an F Bass in Bass Gear when I bought my Carvin amp there. £4000+ and was very ordinary. Amp was great though, and still use it.

Bob Dylan's Must Be Santa - could take you all to Christmas to nail the vocals

Shuker. My 5 string fretless is all the way up at the traditional end of the spectrum, but Jon makes great basses in many shapes and sizes. Quality is fantastic and he is a great guy to deal with.

Very happy with the carbon reinforced neck in my Shuker 5 string P bass. Very stable, no floppy B, and almost comical how well it stays in tune.
