In the jungle, sounds of drumming.
Guide: drumming... bad news. Worse when drumming stops.
Tim Blenkinson-Smythe, explorer: why worse?
Guide: bass solo.
and I was concerned with my neck dive...I suppose one could say that I play pokey bass guitar:
We have a gumby around the house. Not sure where he is but he usually turns up "hidden" somewhere. We've been playing "Where's Wally" with him for years. Of course our game is better because it's called "Where's Gumby". 
On a dark and stormy night, a jazz bebop group, including a pianist, a bass player, and drummer and a saxophonist, were going to a paying gig when a big blast of wind pushed the car sideways and off the road. They all perished in the crash.
But, miraculously, they all came to stand at St. Peter's gate and were met by the very joyous St. Pete, himself.
"Hey, you four cool cats! What's up? Sorry 'bout what happened to you but, at least you're here! And I have got two pieces of news for you - though it might be, good news and bad news. Which do you want first?"
The pianist, the leader of the group said, "All things considered, we could all use some good news."
St. Peter exclaimed, "Well, I'm happy to tell you that you're gonna get a great pad where you can practice all you want, any time you want - no complaints! The Big Man loves jazz! And you only are encouraged to play on weekends, but you get all you can eat!"
The hipsters were happy to hear that. "Great! Now, what's the bad news?"
St. Pete said, "Well, you see, God's got a girl friend..."
The bass player said, "And?"
St. Peter, grimaced and said, "Well, she likes to sing!"
