He was actually voted Behs Player of the Year, and was the only nominee.

U OK hun?

I found very similar with a search for "i-pace" in the Electric Vehicles thread.

Yes, it's the self-adhesive LED strip. The controller is the small white box on top of the cab.

It does mean I'll need to avoid doing a bass on the settee photo, as I wouldn't like to see a macassar-antimacassar reaction.

I would suggest just using an instrument lead between guitar and mixer and then working out whether there's anything more that you need. Can't get much cheaper than that.

Shakespeare described it centuries ago: "It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

It may be a way to get in touch off Reverb as bypassing Reverb for a sale also means avoiding Reverb's fees - something that comes in handy if you see something on Reverb that's in Warwick or Leamington Spa, ie Bass Direct or Bass Bros, as it's cheaper going via the store.

I've got three which are rather more expensive options - Nux Mighty Plug, Boss Katana Go gen 1, and Positive Grid Spark Neo. The Spark Neo is nice if headphone wires annoy you. The Mighty Plug and Katana Go let you use your own headphones - I think the sound quality on the Katana Go is a little better than the Nux but it's not a great difference. All three let you connect with Bluetooth to play along with your chosen music.

I did some personalised LED lighting a few years ago. Maybe a bit of added decoration for the 8" cab...

The bass that killed G&L?

I like both Danny and Charles Berthoud. Is that OK? Don't want the BC Thought Police banging on my front door at dawn. Again.

I didn't watch the programmes to find out all about the personal histories of the people presenting them but to have great basslines deconstructed. I realise that this wouldn't be a note-by-note analysis (which wouldn't interest the non-bass-playing majority) but might have some talk about (for example) technique (slapping in episode 2, plectrum technique in episode 3) or timing (ahead, on, or behind the beat, episode 3). It didn't matter whether I knew who she was or not, it was the content that I was watching it for.

The battens around the front edge and the holes for the port and the speaker mean it's not that easy to apply the Tuffcab. Painting it black (I used rattle can matt black on the ones I built) is much easier, and if you're putting a grille on, you can't really see the texture anyway.

Apparently it's obligatory to look him up on the interwebs, as otherwise you are being wilfully ignorant. I didn't know who Melissa Auf der Maur is and thought I would find out about her and her great career-defining basslines in episode 2. However, the only thing I found out was that I didn't want to listen to any more of her work.

I play at several open mic nights where most of the guitars are acoustics with pickups. They get run straight into the mixer. Same for the singer's acoustic with my second band, which he just uses on a few songs. It would be an idea to get a feedback blocker - a disc that fits into the soundhole and reduces feedback issues. https://sygnusguitars.com/best-acoustic-guitar-feedback-busters/

Tried searching for the phrase "good for metal". I initially put the words in without quotes and was prompted to search for the phrase "good for metal", which I clicked on, and the search string was then enclosed in quotes. However, as well as returning the properly matched phrase, I also got plenty of results which were just "good" and "metal" (with "for" presumably being somewhere in the text that doesn't get displayed in the search results). So the phrase search looks as if it just searches for good AND for AND metal, not the actual phrase.

The first appearance of the phrase on Basschat was 2009, but it was a serious enquiry. Incidentally, the search function is crap when looking for a phrase - it doesn't search for the phrase, which is a fairly fundamental requirement of searching for a phrase.

Best wishes, and I hope it's been caught very early.

Notably "the dude with the Steinberger" and Glen Browne with the five-string (I don't know him, I just made a note of his name). The third episode was far and away the best. If the best snippets from the first two episodes (Glen Matlock on the Anarchy in the UK bassline in the first episode and a couple of other bits, the bit on slap and on singing when playing bass from the second episode) were shoehorned into the third episode, you could chuck away all the rest.

He appeared in the first episode talking about reggae bass.

Dirty Roses rehearsal, the first in a while - this was to run over the Christmas songs for the December gigs. Slade, Santa Claus is coming to town (Springsteen), Rockin' around the Christmas tree (Brenda Lee), Last Christmas (Whamageddon). All went well. We had a chat at the end, and it turned out it was the happiest the singer and drummer had been in a band (and the longest). We're also not certain about what to do following my impending hip replacement at the end of March - I'm perfectly happy with them getting a dep in but I also do the PA so they probably won't bother, just take April and possibly May out.

OTOH, barrel jack sockets are the work of Satan and should be viewed as consumables.

I would say it's being truthful rather than ignorant. And bully for you. I don't know the presenter of the second episode, and based on that episode, I have absolutely no desire to ever hear any more of her playing or that of any bands that she's been in. I suppose I should try to remember her name so I can avoid her.

I have no idea who she is. And this episode has been a real load of old bollocks. Mrs Zero was also watching and was even less impressed than me. Several bassists saying the only bass to have was a Precision. Funny that Mark King, Darryl Jones, Guy Pratt, and Gail Ann Dorsey weren't asked.
