By lightweight flightcase I mean something akin to the SKB iSeries - Almost all my gigs are fly aways - SKB iSeries cases are much lighter than my traditional plywood and metal angle flightcases (and have wheels as a bonus) - this is important for airline baggage allowances. I use an SKB iSeries for my EBMM Sterling and my Precisions - I believe they're not wide enough for a Schecter Corsair bass.

I quite fancy a Schecter Corsair bass but my inability to find a suitable proper lightweight flightcase that would fit it put me off. Even Schecter couldn't point me in the right direction.

The blurb describes it as a 6 string

In my opinion ANY backing track is too much. We don't even use a click live.

I had a Kay Pbass - I blame it for my current back problems. 45 years later my back has still not recovered. Mine went to the council tip.

I never get the 'Air Miles' - they're always earned by the promotor who books and pays for the tickets. I just turn up and fly.

Almost all my gigs are fly aways so I have little choice as the bass is always hold luggage - I have yet to experience an airline that allows them to be carry on or even checked at the gate! I have a couple of SKB iSeries hard cases which I couldn't gig without. What makes them special is that they have wheels! It makes dragging one's bass through airports so much easier.

For many years I played a Squier JV P - cost £129 (new) in 1983/4 I was never happy with it. I built a few of basses from parts but was never happy with them either. In 2016 I took the plunge and spent £1475 on a EBMM Sterling 4HH - unseen factory order that took 6 months to arrive. It is far and away the most comfortable bass to play that I have ever owned - and it's quite versatile in its tone too. I absolutely love it. It totally killed my GAS. I recently enquired of the EBMM factory what it would cost to have an identical bass made - they quoted $2,799 ex works - so plus shipping, import duties if any and +UK VAT - so likely to end up the wrong side of £3k. I passed. I wish I'd spent the money sooner when I consider how much I wasted pursuing my 'ideal bass' through building one (make that 3).

Whatever happened to Westone? A school friend of mine had one - it was the first bass I played - i really wanted a Thunder 1A but I couldn't afford one.

How do you do that? I can't find any option to delete in 'My Attachments'

I'm not sure whether I ever met him IRL - I think I did. It's always sad when things like this happen. I'm always a bit clumsy with my words in these situations. RIP Nick

Yeah - it looked different to me for a minute or so then went back to the way it looked before.

Either that or my PC is doing weird things.

I always ask the lighting guy to never have total darkness on stage. Since I started making this request I’ve not had a problem,
