New thread.
Q: What do you feel like complaining today? My train broke down on the way to work and I lost a whole hour of my very busy life.
AltQ: Why are you happy today? Remember that problem at work that was going to be solved with the help of an expert? I solved it yesterday, all by myself. I'm feeling proud and happy.
EDIT: And oh, yes, I'm on holidays from tomorrow!!

For some reason, despite two weeks' blissfully restful holiday, I still have no motivation to work after coming back. Nothing changes.
But on the plus side: I managed to fix my bass amp the other day. I thought I'd have to pay some engineer £30 or more to tinker around with the electronics, until I popped the back off and realised the only problem was a wire had come loose from the power switch.
Plus I think I've found a buyer for the old bass I hardly ever play, which should free up the space and the money for me to buy one of these beauties.

But then I tried one, and I had to admit I wasn't all that taken with it. Nice neck, nice big sound on the neck pickup, but I found the bridge pickup far too twangy and the access to the upper frets was awkward due to the body shape. By comparison the EB3/SG bass offered a better blend between the pickups and a more navigable neck. I will still insist on trying them side-by-side again before buying though!

It didn't stop a girl racer in a Ford Ka from plowing in the the hedge just inches from my back wheel when she decided to drive like a tit, realise she was about to kill me and slam her brakes on whilst speeding on a wet road. Thankfully her car was dented on the front wing and all along the side. I watched her get out, asked if she was injured and when she said "no" rode off.
