[quote name='skankdelvar' post='1071420' date='Dec 29 2010, 01:06 AM']I've been having a good long think about this. Over the last thirty years, I've been in quite a lot of guitar / bass shops. And I can only think of three where my visits have been consistently satisfying. The good ones were Music Mart in Canterbury (dec'd afaik), Musical Exchanges in Birmingham in the 80's (def dec'd) and Peter Cook's in Hanwell (though I did once watch them sell a Marshall TSL full stack to a 12 yr old newbie and his Dad). By comparison to the sh**tiest of the sh*tt*rmost, The Bass Cellar is actually quite good. My sole visit to the Bass Gallery was shrouded by serious inebriation on my part, so I cannot comment with any accuracy.[/quote] Yes musical exchanges in brum were always good ,i used to go there from about 87 most weekends ,also used to hang around in the bass place a fair bit in brum , just missed mark king by about 5 mins one saturday !

Never been there but worth a visit for the sharp wit by the sounds of things, i wonder if i mentioned i had 58 basses he would come up with the same joke!

I only started playing again last year after a little break of 17 years and before that i was doing it full time as a living touring and stuff but i have nothing on paper to say i can or cant play (well there was that hate mail from a deranged fan )

Hey mate hello and welcome ,i do love those cakes you bake over there !

sounds like a perfect night ! fish and chips mmmmmmmmmmmmm

[quote name='mep' post='1142859' date='Feb 26 2011, 10:22 PM']I did catch up with our guitarist this morning as he gave me a CD for potential new song. That was the most musical thing to happen. Spent the day customising our sons Suzuki GS500 (my old bike) with some renthal bars, re-sprayed black wheels with red reflective wheel stripes. It looks and feels great. Tomorrow we will go for a ride to a bike shop in Plymouth, with me on my SV650, and head back for lunch. Lot's of twisty B roads and a blast up the dual carriage way.[/quote] Not too far away from me then ,i am about 20 miles from plymounth but the other side of te bridge!

dont blame some of you for having a rest ,others sorry no excuses!

Mr sting is so underated ,yes i know its been covered loads before ,but that whole singing and playing bass at the same time and in fact doing them both bloomin great is a fine art anyway what all you lot up to?
