@NikNik - does the neck have inlays?

Admittedly my experience was UK to USA, but it was anything but easy. If it wasn’t for the manufacturer stepping in (Alembic) we’d never have got it sorted.

Having had a recent nightmare experience with UPS in the thread below, I’ll guess this is almost certainly to do with commodity codes i.e. lack of information provided by the seller as to what the neck is made of. UPS don’t make it easy letting you know what is required prior to shipping. I hope you get it sorted. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/460929-a-tale-of-international-shipping/

That is a MASSIVE improvement over the first link. Thanks for posting it. I found the first download to be glitchy, especially during the Pretenders set. Just watched the 1080p one and it is perfect.

Just re-watched the Jeff Buckley section. I can't imagine there were too many people with their hands in the air when DG asked who wants to sing 'Grace'. Well done Violet 👏

Ha ha. I decided not to skip forward. I’m up to the Jeff Buckley covers so far. I know what I’ll be doing this evening.

Agreed, it's not as good a quality as broadcast, but you know what - I'll take it! Torrented and now safely stored on a memory stick. Thanks for posting @cheddatom 🤘

Anyone know of the whole gig video has popped up anywhere yet? From what I’d seen, it’s supposed to on Pluto TV as of today, but I can’t find it on there. Someone mentioned it might be on Paramount+, which I don’t need or want, but I might get for a month if it’s on there.

What a night!

Had a bit of a discussion about that on the way out of the Stadium. I think it worked the way he did it. If it it had finished on My Hero I think there might have been an expectation for encores, but ending with the solo version of Everlong, it was quite clear that the gig was done.

Full set list here…. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/foo-fighters/2022/wembley-stadium-london-england-3b0a5bb.html

Looks like that's just an hour slot, probably highlights?

I don’t want to watch 100 sh!tty mobile phone clips though 😎

Just got home from the gig. That was a long day!

Do you mean every album apart from RobotHive/Exodus, or every album and Robot Hive/Exodus is the best of them? I have a real soft spot for that album and this track especially. I was going to post something about Clutch yesterday, but then got distracted and forgot. As good an album as Earth Rocker is, I do wonder how many die hard Clutch fans would put it at the top? Even more so for Psychic Warfare, although ‘Our Lady of Electric Light’ is probably my favourite song across both albums. I do agree though, Earth Rocker is all killer, no filler. My favourite Clutch album is Blast Tyrant, but I’m not sure it’s complete enough across the board to fit this thread. Looking forward to the new album - not long to wait now 🤟

Just thought of another one....

I'm sure I'll think of a few more, but this immediately sprang to mind....

It might be that whatever you are intending to ship @TheGreek may not be worth considering this, but I’ve been using @walshy’s Man with a Van. £60 door to door. None of this insuring nonsense to worry about and you won’t need a hard case.

What is it with BD and Xotic? They have a nice XJ-1T in black with a chunk out of the paintwork. https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Xotic_XJ4.html

It had better not be in Hyde Park. I’m going to Wembley.

Send him a link to this thread. That should keep him grounded 😂

For my money, a jazz dressed as a P would be worse than a J for that role.Gotta be a P. It’s for this reason I had a natural Limelight and then a black Shuker Precision built for a Queen tribute. No half measures for that I’m afraid.

Yep, You Tube would be my route. So easy to do.

4m is a weird length that most manufacturers don’t do as you’ve almost certainly found out already. I really like Klotz cables. Not saying they are any better than others, but they work for me and have been (thus far) very durable. Klotz do a 4.5m straight to right angle cable, so I’d be looking at this one…. https://musicstreet.co.uk/products/klotz-funkmaster-guitar-and-bass-cable-angled-4-5m?variant=32986783645757&currency=GBP&utm_campaign=gs-2018-12-11&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvcPs28vr-QIVKoBQBh2o5A9WEAQYASABEgL8fPD_BwE

Me too. We need the video.
