But he'd need a mirror on the stage to read it and it would all be back to front. Unless he held his bass upside down 😯

Oooh, exciting times. Welcome to the club.

Never ever thought of putting a set list there. Genius

This thread working in beautiful tandem with my Bruce Foxton thread has had me attacking any bass not quick enough to run with a .88 mm Jim Dunlop. Mainly Jam stuff. It has been a pleasant evening.

Oh man. If I wasn't married already...

Agreed. I just looked at Start vid and he is using a semi with a real Maccaesque thump tone. Guess as it's a nod towards taxman he thought he'd go the whole hog!

Bought a packet of strings from Nick at a fair price. They arrived well packaged and very quickly. Nick was polite and friendly to talk to. Made it an all round painless and smooth transaction. Happy to recommend

All in the fingers I suppose 😅😅

On which Jam tracks did Bruce Foxton use a Rickenbacker (or his copy)?
-
Yes! I am amazed at how much I altered my usual set up, there was zings, there were clangs, there were fresh, percussive, in your face rattles and clacks. Wonder why it suits this bass so much. I mean, it's not like the bass history books aren't full of finger style Ric players.

Where do churches advertise for musicians? I confess I didn't realise they did until reading this. Nor that they paid. I suppose if I thought about it at all I assumed it was exclusively an American phenomenon and in any case musicians would be drawn from the congregation. I'm intrigued.

A gem.

same, I'm ambivalent -
This statement is indubitably correct. There really is no way Marmite can be considered rank.

From what I've seen so far the current set up strikes a good balance. The pedal controls are as you say making broad changes without subtlety. But that's great when you first get the pedal. You can actually alter sounds straight away, before getting to grips with the software. Also at some gigs the sound that works in rehearsal just doesn't on stage. A quick shift of a parameter can fix this. Make it more complicated and that becomes tricky.

Never felt I got the best out of this until today. And you know what? All I did was use a pick. Insane the difference it made. I only just started learning to play with a pick, and thank goodness I've overcome that particular prejudice.

*Nods vigorously*

Anyone heard when this might be out? Didn't know how the bug might have interfered with it. Even the April date they originally gave is 'estimated' so I'm not getting that impatient. (I am)

definitely helping

Excellent, working on an excuse to need a second wireless system. Nearly there...

Damn. -
Have to put it down to my misinterpretation then.

Been planning a similar hatchet job on mine. Have no luthier like skills so can't do anything sensible but would you say it is worth doing?

But lots of people seem to be. No need for the sarcasm really, it was a fair question.
