I had to chuckle when I saw this...

Very good! I would guess Pete academy will know this guy?

There's a few folk already bidding for him in the ebay links forum!

Maybe,but the listing is from a 'rival' music shop-and there is a bit of a strange music shop divide
in Hanley.

Haha, I know him! He plays for a band called Blue Origin

Forgot about this listing! I reckon someone here should bid on him, it's for a good cause and he might come in handy

[higgins666]

Hahaha, how did I know this'd end up on here?

Ahhhhh, it's all for a good cause, & I did actually laugh when I saw it aswell

[Doddy]

Ah right....are you the guy that uses a chain for a strap? Or was that the old bass player?

[chrismuzz]

You're famous Higgins! And it wasn't the band, it was eBay. Who'd have thunk it?

Nah, that was the old bass player, I'm the rather more hairy "newer" bass player, tbh I don't think I could hack using a strap made from a chain because of all the running around & stuff I do during our set.

Hahahaha, yeah man, tbh I was half expecting to come on here or Talkbass & find something then I bumped into Paul (ex-Soma bloke, he's not in Black Road Home) earlier today & he told me it had popped up here!
