[quote name='totorbass' timestamp='1508496442' post='3392572']... Yep the WAF is quite good (she has let down). But I'm not exagerating. [/quote] ? ? ? Lost in translation, I'm afraid. Try again in original French, please, just to see..? Essaie de nouveau en français, pour voir, stp..?

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1508495615' post='3392558'] You'd have thought they'd have the condition under control? [/quote] No point; half the time it's useless.

[quote name='squire5' timestamp='1508494251' post='3392539']... I'm 65,and after playing in various bands since age 15 without ear protection,ever,(I was one of the 'earplugs are for wusses' brigade) it's only to be expected.If only I'd taken more care. [/quote] On the other hand, ageing is what it is, and treble loss is, unfortunately, par for the course for over 60's. Protection is, of course, a Good Thing, but don't beat yourself up for having neglected it early on. You are not alone.

[quote name='solo4652' timestamp='1508489302' post='3392495']...keep basslines simple to avoid over-egging the pudding... [/quote] Mmm..! Pudding..!

Nice drums back there ..^^ (and a great music stand, too..! )

Birdsong (or is that my tinnitus playing up again..? )

[quote name='SpondonBassed' timestamp='1508479201' post='3392418']... Have they really been on tour for twenty years? How does that work? [/quote] Once again, the power of the mighty apostrophe..! "The band have temporarily halted their '20 Years of Placebo' tour while lead singer Brian Molko sees a specialist and finds out what's causing the vocal issues."

Perhaps it was [i]thought [/i]stolen, but had, in fact, simply slid down the back of the sofa..? ...

[quote name='rogerstodge' timestamp='1508444409' post='3392326'] Good news mate, we won't ask how you set your hand on fire!! [/quote] Trying to keep up with Wooten, probably..! ...

[quote name='crez5150' timestamp='1508412569' post='3391993'] Thought that Jessie Ware was her usual outstanding self last week..... [url="https://youtu.be/b3kTN4Sde1w"]https://youtu.be/b3kTN4Sde1w[/url] [/quote] ... and no bass player in sight, eh..? The future of bassists is secure..? Hmm... (Very nice, polished performance; great arrangement. Good Stuff...)

Good afternoon, BH, and ... [sharedmedia=core:attachments:167528] Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1508357926' post='3391710'] The issue is more about how musicians and bands can get the short end of the stick... [/quote] You get the conditions for the gig and choose to do it or not. What others get as conditions and choose to accept or not is irrelevant, unless jealous. At a party, someone gets a slice of cake; you get none. Important to you or not..?

[quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1508348260' post='3391597'] In this digital age, do any of us read the R&G's in any fine detail, especially if from a hand -held device? If for example ( like I did last week) I added a hard case to my Bass Sale Advert to sweeten the deal, is that an infraction? Taken at face value and literally according to (9i) quoted above, it would appear so...? Not being (too) pedantic here but maybe the rules need to be clearer: just sayin I actually revived this thread to highlight a positive experience so I'm not just 'havin a go'! [/quote] Adding a (free...) hard case as a sweetener would be OK. Adding a hard case and upping the price, or offering the case as a separate item, would not. It's especially flagrant when we see ads for a whole shed load of pedals, for instance, with a list that changes as the items are sold and new'uns added. Pays for one ad, gets (in theory...) an infinite number of sales..! Not on, we say; not on. Honest mistakes can be catered for, with a PM to any Mod, but ignorance of the T & C's is usually spotted, and a reminder is the usual 'first response'. It keeps us Mods on our toes, though, so it's not [i]all [/i]bad..!

[quote name='CameronJ' timestamp='1508345725' post='3391558'] Yeah I had a similar experience myself re: adding items to a sale thread. Had no idea it was against the rules! [/quote] An extract from the Marketplace Rules & Guidelines the full version is linked to in my Signature below... [quote]... 9) The following will result in an advert being removed without prior notice. i) Adding any extra items to any pre-existing advert. ii) Adverts containing multiple items not having a valuation amount that reflects the combined value of those items. iii)Trade adverts that do not show the cash equivalent of the item being traded. ... [/quote] I would presume that either these R & G were not read before posting ads, or were not clear enough to be understood. What can be done to make things more evident, to avoid such 'issues' in the future..? I've not come across any case of infraction that gives rise to a ban, without there being some sort of 'back story', such as repeated misdemeanours, and even then only for serious misconduct. Just sayin', for balance.

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1508326167' post='3391354'] Indeed, from one of the food vendors supplying their services for free too? [/quote] Isn't this jealousy, though..? What difference would it make if the band fee was huge, and the vendor giving stuff away..? Looking after your own affairs I can understand, but looking around to see how others have chosen to do things I find very odd. Just me as usual, I suppose.
