Looking at that photo, for some reason I found myself humming an old George Thorogood stomper - [i]Get A Haircut And Get A Real Job[/i].

Is it the Otway trick of a strap peg in the bottom of the bass hung fronm a piece of string attached to your jeans button?

Or it it held up by will power?

It could be Will Power. He's hiding just out of shot, holding the bass up

no, but i am badly post-dubbing some drag queen who takes their style hints from Frank N Ferter, and making a poor quality musinfomercialyrical abomination...does that count?

zjus held on to my B string and played. I played half the song like that my strap fell off but you no what they say the show must go on.

Oh I love the Ray to pieces, its gorgeous! The band split up a while back, but I'm getting into a new one as we speak, so not a lot of downtime as it were Your band seems to be running at a rate of knots still! I also have an interesting message to send you which I will do post haste!

They generally only come out around christmas time AFAIK. It would be good to know of a shop that stocks them all year round.

[Dread Bass]

yeah good idea we can make it a basschat mission.

oldgit did you fix my crazy dyslexic grammer to qquote me?

[tauzero]

I did have a supply of Grolsch washers - not sure if I've got any left, nor where they are if I have. And the Roadhouse isn't giving performers free beer of a Thursday any more, so my stock will not be getting replenished...

[Merton]

My local Sainsbury's does the Grolsch bottles. Well, it did 'em before so I assume it still does. I will happily buy some, quaff the beer and send the straplocks

[Dread Bass]

cool that would be great my local sains dosnt or the one near my g/f

[Merton]

I'll have a look and let you know
