  1. "its doing all the English pop bands of that decade," - plus a few Scottish and Irish looking at the setlist 😁
  2. I didn't know what bass it was, guessed some type of P, thanks for sharing. Heading off to explore some of the Roxy Music back catalog with these guys... 😁
  3. Has to be either Danny Thompson for me Or electric, this 😁
  4. I have same same bass with the jazz setup from Bassbags. Still a rock solid gigging bass after seven years 😎
  5. Google also supports multiple accounts so you can have separate calendars for different bands and merge into a single calendar view for all of your bands. Life saver...
  6. The NS Design Omni Bass can be played vertically and horizontally like a normal bass guitar, and has the same neck length. I don't know about the neck width though. If you prefer the longer double-bass length neck, the NS Double Bass might work?
  7. I'd just sand it flat with fine sand paper then use a strip of wood or cork as suggested to shim it and get a tight fit.
  8. When I started playing DB less and wasn't keeping up the hand strength I put some Presto Nylon super lights on - they felt a bit like elastic bands tension-wise at first, but I quickly got used to them and I found I could play two 45 minute sets without getting hand-ache. Controversial I find, as some players think you have to have heavier strings to be a proper player (and they might be right ;-). Good luck with the playing.
  9. I like the tone that this guy gets on a Marcustio - don't know what the signal chain is, but the mids & highs sound great - lows lack the DB frequencies.
  10. They bumble along with nearly 3 million monthly listeners and a couple of songs exceeding 140 million streams. Yes pop music as in short for popular, as opposed to unpopular music, e.g. my music πŸ™‚
  11. Blue Lagoon is the only Bristol bar I know that does party bangers and is large enough, and yes you need to get to know the booker. It's good for load in/out as well.
  12. Incidentally I looked at Thomann and the Spiros say Light on the packet instead of Weich. I know Weich means Light but wasn't sure why they've translated the weight, do you think they're exactly the same?. Looked elsewhere and most UK places are out of stock. Thanks
  13. I've not had this problem with Obligatos or any strings, but maybe it depends on how much playing you do. If I play infrequently and my fingers get sore, I wrap masking tape round them just once or twice, just enough to protect the pads but keep the feel of the strings.
