Hope Mrs WIB fully recovers soon. As a goodly proportion of the BC membership have female partners and/or are female themselves, it would be worth bearing in mind that the symptoms of heart attack in females have some differences to those in males. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321528#symptoms

I happen to have an Ibanez SRF705. Nut 45mm. Just looked at the specs for several 5-string Ibanez SR models, consistently 45mm. Yamaha TRBX500 43mm. ESP LTD B-205 45mm. Schecter Stiletto Stealth-5 45mm. Sire Marcus Miller V5 46mm. So AI is bollocks.

But you can't change that into part of a plant's reproductive system by changing one letter.

What basses have 42mm nuts, so I can see if it would suit me? EBMM Stingray 5 is 44.5mm so not them.

Damn, there isn't a band with a name including Seamen.

DukeWellington. I suppose I'll get a Paddington stare for replacing a space with a letter.

Why? All that Hooky said about Ian Curtis was that he died - in fact, IIRC, he said that they lost him. Ditto Nate Mendel about Taylor Hawkins.

The Positive Grid. I don't use the others since getting that.

Just want to check - is it definitely a 42mm nut, not a 44.5 or 45?

Second time we've played at the Crown in Rugeley. Parking is a bit dodgy, and our singer had to get from Worcester up the M6 on a Friday evening so he was a bit late. It's rather cramped there but we squeezed in a bit better than last time. That's just before we started, when the singer broke his first string of the night (final score: three). Audience reaction was the same as the first time we played here - we'd be playing a song, there would be quite a few people reacting to it or singing along, then at the end of the song absolutely no applause (apart from drummer's wife and guitarist's girlfriend). And no calls for more at the end, and we're not one of those bands who insist on playing the encores, so we didn't. Everyone was very friendly though, and one of the bouncers was very complimentary. A little incident did occur - towards the end of the second set, nearing the end of a song, I noticed a woman at the back of the room (which wasn't very far away) in some sort of physical distress, and the man she was with got an inhaler out for her. Our guitarist's girlfriend is a nurse and I was going to point her at the woman, but she noticed her just as we reached the end of the song and went over to check on her. Apparently she reeked of fags and had had a fair bit to drink, so she rather brought it on herself (I think it's reasonably clear which "she" is which). Edit to add: Sei Flamboyant 5 -> M-Vave wireless -> Zoom MS-60B+ -> Tecamp Puma 900 -> GR Bass AT212, Caravelle memory foam trainers (and thermal non-slip socks).

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.
