Smoke machine on point!

They could have done with setting the bass up before filming...

Had one of our best gigs ever last night at the Butchers Arms in Inverurie. First half was a bit quiet (although there were still folk up dancing) but in the second half it got really busy because an event finished in a nearby venue and a bunch of people came in to continue their night. Bar was packed, had to rescue a PA speaker and some lights one time and one person nearly became part of the drumset but it was a lot of fun anyway. Got a three song "one more tune". I heard we're getting some repeat custom (people who've seen us before and came down in order to see us). Loads of great feedback. Two different people came up and told me they enjoyed my playing specifically. All in all, one of the best nights we've ever had.

Also, I have a special hatred for geographically based gear snobbery. That tone of mild disgust when an instrument is MIC and it was so much better when they were MIK or whatever - get lost.

All basses overlap to some degree, ergo I fail to see what the problem is lest I decide that I have the same "predicament"

As long as there's no gear snobbery going on, play whatever you like. Can't effing stand gear snobbery, it can get in the bin.

How is the recovery from your funectomy going?

Noticed the top loaded strings on the L-2500 - food for thought... http://www.bassesbyleo.com/l2500_bridge_mod.html

More than one way to skin a cat with a circuit that simple which will end up being electronically identical.

Thanks for sharing the song - don't be shy! Agree would really need to hear it in isolation - in the context of the song it doesn't sound "unintentional", if that makes any sense, so it makes it hard to wonder what the problem is.

Rubs hands together

Some BroadBasses are broader than others...

Wife? Sounds ambitious for this oxygen thief...

I should never have traded my B402-A. Damn.

I missed this point first time around. I would happily drive 2 hours to do a deal. That takes me to... Perth, maybe Dunfermline at a push heading south or Forres, maybe Nairn if I'm heading north-west with a view to going north. There are a whole lot of mountains in between those points. And Dundee. There are very little opportunities for bass related commerce in this small network of not particularly big places. I don't know where you're located, but I'm willing to bet you are more centrally located than me. And this is the point where you tell me you're on the Isle of Wight or something

I ALWAYS ask before bidding, and politely. I find it absolutely bonkers to do this afterwards, regardless of how politely it is done.

Congratulations on your 666th post, Beelzebub

Isn't technology wonderful?

I dunno, that Venetian Pearl looks lemony fresh to me

Not guilty, Your Honour, I have had my Triad since August last year. BTW it's Korina Burst - named after the wood type.

Highlights of parental vinyl... Cream Wishbone Ash ELP Genesis Bowie Alice Cooper ABBA

I tried both in store and plumped for the Triad. I preferred the sound of the Triad as had a bit more character to it - I found the Mercalli too smooth for my tastes. But it's just my opinion - the Mercalli is a fine bass too. Plus the Triad is a three pickup bass - which historically I've been a sucker for also

TB is like London, too effing big to get my head around so I rarely visit. Threads get too long, too quickly and I can't be bothered sifting through it all unless I really need to know something.
