Ampeg amps and cabs, like the rest of the band he's been on in ears for years though and he only has one speaker out of 24 mic'd up!

We actually paid more where we were but I think you got the better deal tbh. We left our seats because the people around us were sucking the fun out of it! We had the "Gold Merch" package, it was worth about £10 tops,lol

With Thundercat on it was almost like a bass bash then!

Did you stay for a$ap rocky?

I was in stand C just to your left then!

I like it.

Are Barefaced still going?

McPhD

I've probably been the reason for the complaints though, lol

I can't recall ever crying to a moderator of any forum, I've had a few private conversations about certain members but never to ask for them to be censored or anything, bonkers.

Live by the sword.

I love all the "we've never been asked to show our certificates in 20 years", I might as well not bother to tax, mot or insure my cars then?

Almost certainly they will be yes.

I modded a red affinity Jazz, it was one of the best jazz basses I've ever played, only sold it as I went exclusively five strings. Go for it.

I've never heard of her and on principal I don't click on any articles or Google the offended person at times like these for the reasons la bam lists. As you were.

Looks to me like the advert has worked perfectly, those with ideas above their station are triggered whereas the ones that are happy to do as they are told and take the money aren't bothered. If I refused to work for every person I thought was a bit of a d1@k I wouldn't have many customers.

Plenty of other high Street shops have five string basses, even ones much smaller.

Same here, if I was joining another band in future this is the sort I'd be after, no messing about. Learn your parts, turn up on time with decent kit, play and get paid. I've done my share of practicing with bands that will never get out of the rehearsal studio with one member that hasn't learnt the parts they were going to learn last week, and the week before all to get a freebie charity gigs for "exposure".

If I was looking for a local band to join for fun and a few beer tokens I might not read the advert fully before messaging them, if it was an interview for my actual job I'd read it ten times over then get someone else to read the application and my reply just to be certain.

That's the point of it, a weekend warrior that wants to spend the next three years rehearsing isn't what they want, someone that reads their messages, learns the parts before rehearsal and does as they are told is what they want, if that's not you then don't apply.

This particular shop had decent quality guitars in stock.

Lots of bosses are, that's life.

To me it just says they are looking for someone to do the job rather than be a bunch of mates in a band that never gets beyond the practice room.

Wouldn't bother me at all.

Both the basses I use were purchased after just walking into a shop, USA Jazz five string and Musicman Stingray five string, both from PMT Birmingham a few years apart, I paid full retail for both. Guitar guitar had a good selection of Fender, Musicman and Lakeland too on the same day I bought the Jazz.
