Very definitely a parson's egg of an evening. Jack's Entertainment Centre in Bedworth - we've played there once before, in the front room. This time we were in the back room, using the house PA. We only used it for vocals and the sound man also set up an ambient mic for the drumkit. Nice big stage, pretty good sound, and a good audience. Managed to get quite a few of them up for Time Warp which is by no means a given. Afterwards, one middle-aged man came up to three of us individually to tell us that when we played Dakota (opening number), his dad who had dementia told him he recognised it - it was one of his favourite songs and the pair of them had a great night. Always good to get some positive feedback. Now the not so good bit. The car park also services some flats, and it turned out I'd parked in a bit for residents (I didn't realise). Some complete bastard parked blocking me (and two other cars belonging to residents) in. Mrs Zero and I had to get an Uber home and come back the next day, when the complete bastard had moved, to retrieve my car. No, I didn't key his car. That would have been too obvious. After all, we'll be going back there. As usual, Sei Flamboyant 5 headless -> M-Vave wireless -> Zoom MS-60B+ -> Tecamp Puma 900 -> GR Bass AT212 and Caravelle memory foam trainers, with socks.

Thank heavens, as otherwise there would be none that could be guaranteed to be independent.

They have an Ebay store, interestingly not called gearupmusic but thekingdomofgames. They don't seem to have bought anything through Ebay, only sold stuff, and they do have 99.6% positive rating. Items in their Ebay store don't seem outlandishly priced, but I haven't scrutinised them, just cast a glance over them. No sign of reviews on Trustpilot - is there anywhere else that might have reviews?

Ah, the fatline body?

We just need the £300 Wal for a Basschat full house.

Although there are one or two English grammar "rules" which are ridiculous because they're relevant only in Latin - to never split an infinitive (Latin infinitives are one word so cannot be split) and to never use a preposition to end a sentence with.

And me, though my memory played tricks on me and I thought it was Spinal Tap.

Status is 4th declension, IIRC like manuus (hand). Edit: And virus (fog or miasma). Which reminds me, a rather ill-educated feminist I once met was all offended at the fact that handbooks were called "manuals".

Thanks, but I've used the drainpipe successfully in three speakers so far and I know my hole saw does the job for it. Oh, and it's Tau not Tao!

Inga is going for the title of Monarch of the Zombies.

Purpaul sparkle, surely?

This is the stuff - the Nova Pad https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162935948623?var=464180501111 which I've used on the BC112Mk3, the micro cab, and the Plenty cab.

But a P pickup is two halves each covering two strings, so out of phase is irrelevant - it wouldn't make any difference to the sound, unlike a twin pickup bass (J type) where out of phase would be relevant.

So using my default of needled felt would be a reasonable thing to do?

Tecamp Puma 500 or 900.

The Burns Flyte has a very similar body, although it unfortunately isn't headless.

Some of you do...

Would the Ray5 be the same as the Stingray 5? I have one of those here too so I could try a neck swap.

@Phil Starr, does the cab need some acoustic wadding?

No replacement speakers available, so I've opted for a refund.

Mrs Zero and I used that for our wedding walk down the aisle at the registry office.

And Black Friday.

What about Chuck Barry?

Considering that a short scale has two differences to a long scale - shorter distance between equivalent frets, for the more delicately handed, and shorter reach to the first fret, for the non-Warwick Thumb-inclined, these only tick one of the boxes. Also the lump of metal which counterbalances the ugly lump of wood stuck out needlessly far into space has been moved to a position where it counterbalances it less so it will be more neck-divey. One step forward (for the short scale lover) and two steps back.
