I hear you! I parted with my Trace set up. Huge Bi-amp behemoth and smaller workhorse. I replaced with what I consider the best Trace I have ever used a GP12SMX, and the tiniest, an Elf. The Elf astonishes me at rehearsal, but I have yet to gig with it.

I belive Booker T and his MGs were jamming around a riff while in the studio. The single they'd recorded needed a B-side and much to the band's surprise their 'jam' was deemed to be suitable. The guitarist was asked to move the guitar part to a different point in the song and that was that. One of the musicians thought the tune stank so bad they should call it onions. Deciding that spring onions (or green onions as they're called stateside) are more palatable to more people, they went with that instead...

He's a heck of a player

no problem, that's what I needed to know, thank you.

Nothing to apologise for.

What about the ends? I can't find anything online toi say what they are and wondered if the strap itself gave any clues?

Hi, can you tell me what materials these are made from?

Easily one of the most unpleasant experiences of my life when I tore mine, you have my sympathy. And yes, once you've suffered this type of injury the choice of strap takes on a far greater significance.

You may have already seen it, maybe others had seen it before you had. Doesn't mean no one else has a right to discover it.

Had two Thunders. Sold them both for peanuts (but they both needed a lot of tlc) and literally gas like a burst main every time I see one. This in particular. What a stunning example.

OK now I feel better about my minor quibbles. Some of you are just weird 😅

I was reading this thinking how hard it must be to get through life worrying about such irrelevant details.... and then amp overhang was mentioned and a shudder ran through me. Then stacks with different size cabs... I started to twitch. And I recall just how insanely angry I get if a strap button is located on the heel of the neck I stead of where it should be so the bass falls away from me when I'm trying to play the damn thing. This led me inexorably to the most heinous of all crimes. Neck dive. And I realise that we all ha ve our irrational ticks. Yes I've used a clip on tuner, no of course I won't be putting on and off all night, but then neither would I clip it on the very end of my headstock or, heaven forbid, the front of the headstock, so you would hardly notice it anyway. Oh God I need help

@Paul S That is just joyous!

Yep, sounds and feels indescribably good, but I can't lift it.

Just bought a Warwick case multi stand thingy from @thestick of this parish. The corner of my domicile used to house three basses on individual stands which stuck out at irritating angles. Happy to say three has become seven. I can get some more out from under the bed now.

I intended no hostility or offence, I apologise for causing either.

I agree with you, impossible to make a definitive judgement from one clip played by someone else. Thanks for taking part.

Thanks for taking part!

Always liked these wrap jobs their guitar tech did for them. So realistic

I drove down the M4 to Reading and back today and felt like I'd absconded from Stalag Luft. A holiday? Ooh I don't think I can handle that. I just don't know who could resist a case that turns into a scooter. I mean how cool is that??
