    I first became aware of the RHCP with the release of the Abbey Road EP and have been hooked ever since. Mother’s Milk was therefore my first proper RHCP album and I have a real soft spot for it. I’ve seen them many times with Kiedis being in various levels of form. I forgive this as the rest of them are just so good IMHO. Love the little side jams they shove in the set, something which I’ve tried to incorporate into my band. I was very sad to see John leave, but if he hadn’t, we wouldn’t have One Hot Minute, which I also love.

    They’ll never learn 🙄

    @JapanAxe and @ChrisDev - thanks guys for your responses. Just got home and I’ll have a look asap. Out to work again first thing tomorrow then off to the gig. Really appreciate your help 👏👏

    @ChrisDev - I don't suppose you've done Sylvia by Focus by any chance have you. I would normally sit down and write it out myself, but I need it by the weekend and don't have time between now and then.

    Been a fan since what seems like forever. Saw them at The Toxic Twin Towers Ball at Wembley in ‘99. What a gig! Sad to hear ST is hanging up his mic, but it sounds like a sensible move.

    I’ll chuck Mike Lull into the mix. You won’t get a new one for £2k, but you might score a used one for that ball park. The B on mine is fantastic. They are 35” scale tho. For my money, 35” scale basses shouldn’t be disregarded in terms of 5’ers. Mike Lull MV5 at Bass Direct.

    That is lovely. GLWTS.

    Heard a few horror stories about The Bull, as I'm sure you have. Not played there for a while. Hope tomorrows gig goes better.

    Cripes. I'd have done it myself for £300 😎

    That seems a lot of dosh mate. Where was it going? I assume it was of significant size/weight as well?
  12. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Noted. Deleting number from phone 👍.

    Just been online with SonoBus for the first time. As a former user of JamKazam, I have to say this is much better and user friendly. Full rehearsal this next Tuesday, providing the drummer can get on line by then.

    That is a right result. I’ve played a few and they were much much heavier. Enjoy 🤘
  15. hiram.k.hackenbacker
    Dare I ask how much it weighs?

    @triplebass - I take your point, but it's been like it for years. Many years even before this....

    Wembley Stadium played. Drops mic. Leaves room 😎

    Already got one thanks mate.

    Mrs.H and I are currently at HRC Dominican Republic and there is a dismal selection of basses on offer here. The first one I saw was in the main concourse and is probably one of a thousand that Gene Simmons has played @cetera. The second was on display in the HRC shop and isn’t a celeb bass - just a bit bizarre. I’m still not sure what’s going on here.

    Nope. Picked up my JJ Burnel Signature from Shuker HQ and gigged it that night.

    PM'd.

    Yep, same here. My festival days are well and truly over. I think my last big one was V in Chelmsford, so some time ago. I just cannot be ar$ed doing battle to get a halfway decent view and then giving it up to go for a two mile trek for a p!$$.

    I don’t understand why you would think he would have changed. Was he subject to some kind of revelation about the trauma he out people through. Guys like this do not change.

    +1 the most recent comments. The only thing he cares about is money - building instruments and customer service are not even on his radar. If you truly want to help the bass community, be Letts’ complete undoing; which in truth, you should have started a long time ago. This softly softly give him another chance bo!!ocks does not help anyone. It probably has the opposite effect.

    Probably sounded a bit harsher than I meant, but I am staggered that you gave this guy another chance after all the grief he has caused you, especially in light of the fact he’s still doing business and making (let’s be honest) $hit YT videos. You need to see him for what he is and what he will always be.
