    Maple miost if the time until my “Steinberger” phase (thanks Hohner)! Then maple, a Yammy BB, then maple jazz, maple esp and maple Sub MM. happy with them all. Now I’m Spector. Don’t think it matters much either way.

    Al We disagree but you are respectful. I salute that. I hope I am as respectful back, Scotland were promised by the Union side at the referendum that the only way to stay in the EU was to vote “No”. This was on every leaflet . The “once in a generation” comment was a rhetorical comment during an interview. It did not appear on any literature. It is now used as a debate closure tactic. My country rejected leaving the EU by over 60% to under 40%. We haven’t voted for a Tory Rule for over 60 years. There is an unresolvable democratic strain there. This being said, I wish all my English Brothers well, they always get what they vote for.

    £240 per band member I’m hearing? Just a natural extension of the Daily Mail “blamerafurrinurs” approach. Total embarrassment. Hopefully will lead to the political break up of th3 UK and the final reunification of Ireland.

    Joy, fun, connections to heroes and occasionally enough money to buy (or justify) new gear? My best times were playing in bands for sheer fun and not worrying about “making it”!

    That is a fantastic series. As is all of his documentaries! I remember similar situations in the past, the best example being Robbie Williams. His lost post TT period, the helping hands from Elton and George Michael then his debut album arriving and thinking, this has some real girth to it! Now people talk about incredible pop songs like Angels, Strong and Millenium. Good luck to the bold Harry. Cracking song.

    It’s a way of ID-ing a bass. Previous theft? (No slight on seller btw)

    Cheers HJ! I’ve only ever did small venues and always thought of the Sans Amp thing as an effects board....will defo be going lightweight combo or small head n cab.

    Seeing his thread, the small rig for jazz and the ampless thread gets me thinking. I’m looking for a small rig to replace my cracking but backbreaking Hartke 100w. Every time I think about it, I delay and wonder about going ampless but...I don’t always have a PA system. So, forgive my ignorance, would a SansAmp do it? (Flyrig?)

    Bass returned for a refund? If it’s described properly and any flaws pointed out, I’d assume the buyer would be stuffed and would have to sell it themself. I did that years ago on here, bought a Marcus Miller JB, didn’t like the weight or 7.25 fingerboard so put it up for sale with full explanation. Wasn’t the seller’s fault I’d bought something that didn’t suit me.

    Hand him the bass. “Show me.” Ask him “can you not play more like Michael Brecker and not Boris Becker.?” Set up gear. Plug in. “Oh I forgot...” place massive container of Durex Play on amp. “That’s to make it easier to stick your brass kazoo up your derrière mate.” Diplomatic corps 1981

    When I asked the sales assistant if I could get a discount on a fender bass in January...”everyone knows they don’t let us!”

    Says 550w on the back....

    Paul is now my fave basschatter due to his ability to balance a bass on his.....well you find it! Anyway....just a wee legend player and I love it. £449 brand new from Kenny’s Music. They still have a neck through Aguilar for sale st £800. Web said it is walnut (maybe they’ve changed it now) but it’s more crimson or cherry red. Had a rehearsal during the week and a two hour session of extreme bonding yesterday. Mucho like-o! As ever, try before you buy but I’d recommend a legend For anyone wanting a competent and reasonably versatile bass or back up.
