I'm pretty much resigned to being doomed. I just wonder how far I'll get into the year before the inevitable happens.

Very true, my acrylic light-up bass got a run out at tonight's open mic night and will also do a few songs on Saturday's gig.

If it's because they ring you up and say (or get their robot voice to say) they're HER Majesty's Revenue and Customs, you'll need to find another target.

Over the last month anna bit: Sterling Ray5 TC BAM200 Bits to build a 2-band preamp for the Ray5, and a Wilkinson pickup for same USB-powered pedal power supply Jazz clone neck This last puts me in a bit of a quandary. I intend to use it to build a bass, for which I have some but by no means all parts (the body, for example, is currently absent). Would the building of the bass be regarded as a single good or service, in which case the transaction has been initiated (vide supra), or is it separate transactions for each part acquired?

I think I can clarify and simplify my earlier wording - it is the date of the commencement of the transaction that counts. I can seek the opinion of my barrister brother-in-law on Boxing Day when I see him if any more qualified opinion is required.

I would agree - where the payment for a good or service is one side of the new year, and the good or service is provided on the other side, then the earlier of the two should count, which should delight anyone in the waiting list for a Wal who intends to participate in the 2029 abstinence challenge.

I do know what -40F is in Celcius. I also know 32F and 212F. Everything else is a mystery.

If you've got the budget for a Mesa Subway 15 then you could consider a GR Bass AT212 or AT410 (both of which are lighter than the Mesa).

I'm the opposite, I have no idea what stones are.

Perfect for bass exorcises.

The UK has been metric for 60 years now. Sadly, a large portion of the population of the UK is stuck in the past, when Britain had an Empire.

From my own experience, a Barefaced Big Baby II would probably do the job, a Tech Soundsystems ND410S would also do it (24kg, more than I want to lift these days but one of the lightest 4x10s around).

It's quite impressive, somebody joined on Saturday and has already become the only resident of my Ignore list.

Depending on if you want to support Jeff Bezos's tax avoidance.

Try telling them that the pins point the way the signal is going and see if that helps them.

I let the singer plug his mic in, as he can count up to 1. I do everything else, which is just two mics. Some cable colour coding FOH speakers = orange, monitors = yellow, and the leads are unequal lengths as the mixer is always one side or the other of the stage.

Or flogging ex-partner's gear for a song.

Generally. I think it's mainly a dislike I have of knobs with numbers on.

Oh dear.

Once upon a time that was the Palace Cinema. When the Odeon multiscreen opened it became a music venue with the sloping auditorium still in place - played there once, rather liked it and it was massive. Then it went titsup and the next owner filled the sloping auditorium so it was level - played there once too. It has been through various incarnations since then and has recently reopened - I've tried getting a gig there but so far without success.

Played there once. Never again. Singer got a parking ticket, I got s speeding ticket as I was so desperate to get away. Dreadful load-in and load-out, nightmare parking, and we were supposed to be using some of the DJ's amplification except that he didn't get there until well after we'd set up. Good job our "drummer" only had cajon and bongoes.

Penultimate gig of the year at the Swan in Coleshill. Unusually, the car park was fairly empty, although there was a crowd watching the football which had gone into extra time when we wanted to get the gear in. Running time is now 8:30 to 10:30 due to noise complaints, so had an hour to set up which was just enough. Used the Sei Jazz BC Bike and the Cort Space - must stop using headed basses there, it's rather short on space. Four Christmas songs including a seriously revved-up Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.

Because the internet is a write-only medium.
