It's just been on Radio2 news at 1.

Very sad

Perhaps it's just me then! Earlier I got to the Paypal thing & it said there was a problem with my bank details or card or address - but nothing's changed. Now I'm on my laptop & trying to buy the same thing it doesn't even go to Paypal - ebay says: "Something went wrong. Please try to check out again." so maybe it's ebay not Paypal?

Currently waiting in the queue for customer service - ain't it wonderful until it all goes tits up

Trying to buy a item on ebay - like you do & it won't take my Paypal!!!

As above ^^

9550! 65 & going downhill 2nd try - 8880 oh dear!

Today the usual Ocado delivery arrived, with a driver I don't think had been here before. Upon spotting something 'Marshall' in my hallway he started telling me about his son, his bass & drum playing, place at uni. etc. etc. Then got his 'phone out & showed me his 'music room' - unbelievable coincidences - my room is going through a serious makeover right now & this bass player drum bashing son of this Ocado driver has already got most thing just like mine is going to be, apart from the Marshall item in the hall ssshh! After of course I wished I had asked if he visited Basschat - but I forgot so thought I would ask here

I would think a needle file to enhance/deepen/enlarge the 'chosen thread' of the saddle should solve it!

Damn! Lots of Sepsis talk lately

I'll be 65 on Sunday 31st Jan 2016 & yes looking forward to getting some pension I never moan - much apart from me aches & pains

You need to get out more

Down South on the sunshine coast - I'm always doing odd jobs not least of all wiring repairs, setups, minor repairs, mods - feel free to PM, you don't get if you don't ask I do usually make a small charge for most things lots of pots & parts in stock, my man cave is currently undergoing restoration, but work as normal. If you do drop in you'll be most welcome John

Another flawless deal with Tom, a loom for his Maruszczyk this time, always a true gent to deal with, a pillar of our community. Cheers, John

[quote name='synthaside' timestamp='1452875959' post='2954376'] KiOgon ... is that an Aerodyne in disguise .... Fenderbots ... Roll out ? ?? !! [/quote]Not an Aerodyne - a bit similar but - -

TBH you'd almost certainly get more benefit swapping the pots, jack, cap & wiring - for less than £40

The Fender Universal is adjustable for almost any shape, I've just had a Jazz on mine - now a Thunderbid & it's the best fitting & stable stand IMO, not so cheap & not so small when folded but highly recommended.

But if you can find one here!

Fender Frank Bello Bass - complete with 'angry man' on headstock http://classicandcoolguitars.co.uk/sold_basses/ffrankbello.htm

[quote name='ambient' timestamp='1452810619' post='2953809'] Anyone use one ? They look great, and get some really good reviews. I'm looking for a lightweight collapsible stand for gigs. [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00TYHM0DA?psc=1"]http://www.amazon.co...00TYHM0DA?psc=1[/url] [/quote]Only good for symetrical base bass, any offset & it's NFG, so OK for P or Ray certainly not for Jazz or T'bird I use a couple of the Fender folding which are neat but same as above; https://www.dropbox.com/s/qg0g1a8sava7skl/fender-2.jpg?dl=0

Another legend - huge loss to world music, R.I.P. Ziggy

Mark has made a couple of visits 'down South' recently - it's been a great pleasure meeting him & family at long last, shame he didn't have more spare time to sit & chat! Anyway - I did a couple of jobs for him, a upgrade wiring kit to the ageing guts of his lovely '76 P & some open heart surgery to his even lovelier '75 Hayman. He's a splendid fellow & we look forward to meeting again. Cheerz, John

Pat got in touch regarding a upgrade kit for his Musicmaster bass, great communications & instant payment, a absolute pleasure to deal with. Cheerz, John

Also good stuff;[b] [size=3]Dettol Mould Remover Cleaning Spray, available at most outlets.[/size][/b]
