Thanks for this. I quite enjoyed that. Mark

I think Brave is a wonderful record. I have some other bits and bobs by them from around the same time, but that LP was just fantastic. Mark

I try and put the Rotosound RS775LD flats on all my basses (except my Washburn semi-acoustic, for which I have some Rotosound RS885LD Black Nylons). I absolutely love the sound and feel of the Rotosound Monel flats. I do have a Vox AC50 amp head, but even just using my Vox amPlug and headphones, or straight into my DAW, I wouldn't be without the Monel flats. Mark

Rotosound Jazz 77 flats on my 1025x. 👍🏼 Mark

Arrrrrghhhhh!!! Why are basses like busses?!? You wait for one and two come along at the same time! My unicorn bass has just popped up for sale in Birmingham. Obviously there's no way I can get there to check the bass out before I buy, is there anyone that can assist with this regard? The seller states they are willing to post, so I'm just looking for someone to give the bass a once over, if that would be possible. Pleeeeeaaaaase? Mark.

Uh-oh. A Paddington stare incoming in 3 … 2 … Mark

Thank you all for not making me feel like a failure! I may go back to the song that prompted this thread at some point, but not this week. Thank you all for your input so far. Mark

I'll add https://www.geminipickups.co.uk to the growing list. Very good to deal with, incredibly helpful and receptive to emails. Mark

Have you ever tried to learn a song and it was just frustrating you so much trying to get it down that you just walked away from it? I tried really hard to get the bass line for Money by Pink Floyd, but there's a change from verse to bridge (I think, it was about 15 years ago) that I just couldn't get my fingers to work properly on. hahaha You know when you know the notes you want to go to, but because your fingering is in a different position/shape before the change that you literally just trip your fingers over each other? That change in Money was like that for me. I was at the point where I thought I had to relearn how I was playing it to make the changes possible. Which, at the time, that just seemed mental to me, but was probably the correct course of action if I wanted to carry on with it. I may give it another go sometime, but not today. 😂 PTSD or something about that song now. Hahaha Mark

I'm kinda diggin' that hole in the top horn though. Mark
