You are safe then. DD is otherwise known as the Denim or Traller Park Tuxedo ( suit, ie jacket and pants )

Fretless is fun. I wouldn’t be without one, in fact I would quite like a Fretless 5

The right 77 Jazz Bass in the right hands. I've found they can be a bit of a gamble in terms of timbre. I sold my 78, it was boring.

He was probably praying to get arrested for the publicity.

Chris Been so busy I’ve only just seen this. Yes would have been great to have more time and a chinwag. I have to say I ruddy love the bass and neck. Added a Hipshot and it’s all good. Plenty of range, nice neck and just the right amount of zing for me. So glad we managed to get the deal done eventually with all the problems arranging a meet after the op on my ankle in September 😁

The law is that he was restricted from being there because people go there to harass people who have to go there. He was asked to move, he didn't. He was told to move, he didn't. He refused to move against a police order to move from a restricted place and he didn't. He got arrested and fined. I don't see anything unreasonable in that. If he wanted to do 'silent prayer' he could do that anywhere, he didn't, he wanted to harass people, luckily people have protection from that now.

Moi aussi nelson Mandela didn’t get everything right but it was a pretty good shot

Sadly only in South Africa. It’s still very much happening in Palestine.

Looks a lot like the Schaller 460 I flogged to, err, someone on here a year or so ago! Additionally, that looks a lot like a DiMarzio Model P bodged into a curious position. That's easily worth £75 just for the parts. Shame it's sold!

The BF 10 is a solid 200w driver and BF rate the cab as fiine for 500w so long as it stays clean. Fully distorted a 135w tube amp is 270w of howling misery so not going to bother a BF 210.

I'm still recovering from a knackered shoulder, but I'm also in the process of composing my first original tune, and I'm going to use this bass for that, so once I have anything recorded - that I'm happy with - I'll be sharing to be torn apart. 😂 Mark

That's a lovely bass. May it bring you much joy. I've got a 2025 and it's fabulous. I expect a 1025(x) is very, very similar. I'd love to hear one of these with flats on. That might be a very good combination.

I thought that particular battle was won thirty years ago?

This. Borrow or even hire another cab until you can get it fixed. It's just not worth doing half a job on an expensive cab. You could pick something up on Reverb or Ebay for buttons if you can cope with a heavy old cab for a gig or two.

It's not making silent prayer illegal; iit's preventing sing silent prayer (or anything else) as a form of protest in an area where protest is banned to protect vulnerable women ftom intimidation.

I don't actually own a fretted bass and find frets, dots and binding massively distracting. I don't have a pony or a tail but did have long hair and a waistcoat once.

If there's a reappraisal, the prices will go up...

Always keen to natter to a bass chatter who's passin!

It's a few months later than originally planned but my Shuker 6 singlecut was completed last week. Just in time for xmas. Now I just need a 4-string to complete the Shuker trio.

Is that the law? It was a man standing in silence. If I'm in power and I make all sorts of silly laws, the public can then respond however it needs to (elect somone to reverse/strenghten them) but we need to be able to talk about it. If I'm making silly laws and censor and punish any opposition to it I've become a dictator.

Jon made that preamp in the pic too. So far I’ve got to say he’s been an excellent communicator. He wanted to let me know there is a fan like the one in the Minnie that can be loud at quiet levels , I told him this was to be mostly used at gigs , the fan is not an issue at gig volume in a fairly noisy environment. Parts are on the way , this is a pretty straightforward design. Strictly back end clean transparent power. I’m looking forward to hauling this downtown for gigs.

I'm not sure it's quite the same and the original quote references the 'I was just reporting/joking/asking a question'. The shouting of 'fire' in a theatre of course being a famous exception to the first ammendment; I remember seeing Christopher Hitchens demolish this particular judgement and explaining it's very purpose to be the same as what is happening here. The goverment wants to draft you into the military to fight in its war and you don't get to voice opposition to it. A reasonable sounding 'example' offered to the public for imposing censorship.

Indeed, after having an order knowingly breaching a safe space order and then refusing to move on after being requested to do so. So we let people break the law because we agree with it or because it furthers our agenda? In the same vain that some just stop oil people were jailed for silently protesting.
