that's a shame they are really pretty

I hate changing key, it’s where my lack of proper musical training shows as I can’t just transpose, and my brain looks at the chord chart and literally would have to rewrite. OnSong is quite good for shifting keys effortlessly and removes that stress.

in Bridgehouse's defence Leo made a similar choice

the guy forming that band is probably not looking for someone with your experience WoT, they probably want someone good, but young and willing to do what they are told for not as good pay and conditions as you would want....

That’s quite some going for your first 3 years!

So if you were going to go active the answer to your previous thread was probably “Sadowsky” 😁 here’s the Japanese made non-roadworn equivalent to yours (though their charcoal frost metallic is darker)

TBH mate I’m not sure you would like the colour of WoTs money - it’s close in colour to clown vomit - but with variations of “copper turd” and “newkie brown puke” added in

Depends - they might have a really clear idea of how to find the right person - from getting an email to sending a pre-writer survey form and faq that then returns to them as a spreadsheet then shortlisting from that, inviting to audition via pre filled out emails … if you’re set up for that then 20 messages on FB from every Tom, Richard or Jaco in the area asking their own random questions or wanting to know different things - or in some cases just waste your time…

I like clown vomit. If you have to pick a name for a colour it's funny. What would you call it?

you know there's a range of nominal things I've seen people focus on in bass gear - the nominal name given to the colour is a new one. If it helps you spend your £3600 you could call it Glitter finish close to Pantone 7737c?

there's a Freedom custom guitar research one for sale right now that's an Active 5 string P .... Freedom are super high end Japanese luthier

Well it is a 50s reissue!!

it's about finding a pigment rather than a dye based ink/stain... I enjoyed the fact that with art stuff it was actually tested for lightfastness by the makers... This was my body... it went darker than I wanted the grain was only as apparent in bright sunlight and you can see the spots I rubbed through.

If values are the same a new loom won’t change the sound, just make the knobs nicer to twiddle

I ended up working out a similar thing when I did my build - but used my fine art background and ended up looking at pigment based watercolours (not dye based) - as for art there’s obvious needs to create light fast colours - these are fantastic and super concentrated - not crazy expensive either https://www.docmartins.com/collections/hydrus-fine-art-watercolor-bottles I wiped on with a sponge in thin layers (like you would watercolours) and did a dark blue to black blue burst finish - topped with chestnuts wipe on laquer tbh writing this makes me want to make something again in a brighter colour!!

double post

Sometimes the things that are important to one person isn’t to another. For some folk weight or nut width is super important, for others it makes less difference…. History of what you’ve learned on, technique, style of music and all that all that go into it even between people of the same competence… also a major thing… how many basses do you own… I get the impression Lozz has a few basses … if you only have two or three basses you’ll sweat the small stuff - other folk will just have 50 instruments…

That was a small Stonehenge

Well more like not sticking to it and then realising! he even had a jazz bass phase a few months back!

crikey, that will be hard to play

hold up, there's a sunny bit of Yorkshire?!

Out of interest do you have the equivalent of band leaders

Personally, Ild probably be part of a different church soon after
