@Sarah BRM... Good evening, Sarah... Just a short word that may help a little when using this Forum. You can bring your posts to the attention of any Member by preceding the Forum name with an arobas. Continue to type the User name and a drop-down list will fill up with Members with that name. You can then choose the one required from that list; it will be seen on-screen in orange, like your own User name above ^^. This astuce will bring the post to the attention of that User, making sure that he/she sees it. Try it..? Hope this helps; meanwhile... Have a great day. Douglas

Here's a screenshot I've just taken, minutes later... ? ? ?

What is the custom option that you require..?

Is their offer of a month's trial not enough to tip the balance..? At worst, it would cost the return courrier (£40, I believe...); worth considering..?

Maybe your choice of castanets as your solo instrument made things harder to sell..? ...

Yes, I would confirm 'Ignition', with the centre block. Slightly heavier than the 'full-fat' 500/1 (but still very light indeed...), and with a different tonal characteristic played acoustically, but an excellent bass nevertheless, far more versatile than they are usually given credit for. Not ideal for 'slap', really, but is that a Bad Thing..?

Ok, I'll shut up, then, if that's OK with you. Offending post edited; you win.

Edit : Overly-vocal comment removed, as apparently being unwelcome.

Mmm... Tea...

... and ... breath... Slowly, let the oxygen fill your lungs... then... out, slowly. There, that's better already, isn't it..?

...

Cork-sniffing..?

Fixed..?

Isn't that just where one would expect to find an Oasis..?

Some medieval architects foresaw the problems that ecclesiastic music could cause, and built in consequence... ...others, less so...

I'd have paid double that, back then, to NOT see The Edgar Broughton Band again (again..!)..!

And the winner is ... @Jean-Luc Pickguard..! Here, then, is your Winner's Certificate (download and save as pdf file, then proudly print and frame...) ... BC_Chal_Cert_2024_08.pdf ... which looks like this (but bigger, of course..!)...

And still some folk would try to crash the fences to get in for free..!

I don't remember seeing drummers, at 'live' gigs, re-tuning their drums for different songs, still less swapping out snares or toms, to recreate the authentic sounds of the original work being covered, or even their own work as an 'originals' band, in concert. Occasionally (very rarely, but still...), a change from sticks to brushes, hot-rods, timpani mallets, or even simply heavier/lighter sticks. I don't recollect the sound person tweaking the PA, either, altering compression or reverb/delay for a number, or even the balance between the parts of the kit. Maybe we drummers are not quite as precious about these nuances, or maybe, for us, it really is all in the wrists..!
