Bought a set of tuners from Steve. Really friendly transaction from a top BassChatter. Shipped promptly and really well packed. Couldn't be happier 😎

Many moons ago I played in two bands which pretty much did similar sets, both of which did the songs mentioned above. Worse still, they were usually requested as encores 😱 But like @NoirBass says, I'd love to play them again in a band playing a gig.

Even when he's on the back burner he pulls off amazing riffs. Pure class ❤️

Rubberband Man has been on my play along list for a while now, its a track I really like since hearing it on the 'Stripes' film many many years ago. Its great to see him do this, love it! I've said it before and I'll say it again. What a great guy!

Only issue being a little tight fitting over the pickup but other than that it was fine. Didn't take long to get here either. I replaced the bridge on a jazz type bass with a Gotoh. Quality bit of hardware but the saddles were bigger than the originals BBOT ones making the action higher. The lowest I could get it was still too high for my liking so be prepared to fit a shim if you prefer a lower action. KiOgon's looms are great and even an idiot like me can fit them.

It was from this seller https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-4-String-PB-Bass-Pickguard-13-Hole-Scratch-Plate-for-Precision-Style-Bass/174028281113?hash=item2884e4d519:m:mAwjG80xdbvJpoK9m-zGcCA&var=472837458162

Bought (well, traded) Peters lovely Yamaha BB1100s. Fast dispatch and very well packed. Perfect pain free deal! Cheers!

That is pretty funky 😎

This little chap is excellent. I took delivery of this little combo on Friday courtesy of Thomann. I've been on the lookout for a decent practice amp as living in a terrace house with arsey neighbours can really put a dampener on practicing with a large cab and powerful amp. Even with the volume right down it's probably too loud. So I spotted this B-stock bargain and snapped it up. I've owned a couple of the 'larger' PJB combos which were excellent so I knew it was going to be alright but in all honesty I wasn't expecting too much from such a tiny amp like this. First thing that I noticed when I took it out of the box is just how well made it is, it's a smart little thing, sturdy and just 'feels' quality so 5 Stars there. I first tried it out using a Precision with dull flats on, no problems with that. To get the scooped sound I prefer needed almost all the mids dialled off, bass at 12 o'clock and the treble at 4 o'clock. Sounded ok, certainly useable and playing along to tunes at a reasonable volume it handled it very well. Now take the amp off my 4x10 cab and place it on the floor makes a big difference. It goes from being ok to pretty darn good and not to annoy those next door I did have to turn it down a bit. Second bass I used was my Precision with shiny new round wounds on. Much brighter sound obviously and very happy with what was coming out of the speaker. Finally I plugged in my Fodera, set the EQ flat and yep, all very HiFi as you'd expect. The little amp handled it well, even with the bass boosted a bit it didn't break down. Its never going to be an amp you could gig with except maybe a quiet acoustic type event but for home practice its superb.

Day 37 - BB King Just sublime playing on the Hofner. Sorry to jump in @NoirBass but couldn't resist posting.
