    I had a fretless. Really nice to play, the reason I moved it on was that it was incredibly light and I was coming from a succession of basses that started with a Hayman 40/40, then a couple of Ps, then a Warwick Thumb, and it just felt so insubstantial. I'd like to try a fretless 5 sometime.

    Visible where dl=1 on Chrome, Windows 11.

    Is that obligatory?

    Cast around for open mics. I've encountered a wide variety of them, from being almost the youngest and rockiest there at one to being the oldest and folkiest at another.

    I'm not so sure that no-one can play half the stuff in the videos - that's going to depend on whether the people creating the original content were able to play it at the speed at which it was shown in video, rather than the ability of the content thief to play it.

    Check if there is actually some relief in the neck (hold down a string at the first fret and the top fret and make sure there's clearance in the middle of the string). If you have relief, you could try shimming the neck to raise the headstock end.

    The bag I mentioned upthread is a fishing bag, and the smaller bag that sometimes lives in it is a tool bag.

    Not as far as some. 280 miles or so round trip to pick up an Ibanez EHB1265MS from Surrey. And a 380 mile or so round trip to pick up a Trace Elliott 4x10 combo. That didn't stay long after my first gig with it was up two flights of stairs.

    So you could go one way round out, the other way back, and make it a genuine round trip.

    A fundamental point about Thumbs is the year they were made. Early ones have lovely slim necks, then at some point in the 90s they became horrible engorged monsters, and apparently they've slimmed down again. Also, how many strings? And Thumb NT or BO?

    Could it just be that the headstock has been banged very hard on something which has sheered a section off along the grain?

    That's what I use on my Hohner B2AV. Although with the Status strings being two-thirds the price, that may change.

    That's still a thing, as is the noticeboard at the local rehearsal studio.

    The current covers band was through Joinmyband, the current originals band was through Facebook when someone I'd met on a couple of open mics was looking, and the previous covers band was through open mic nights. I'm also doing a dep in June which I got through an open mic.

    I just bought an M-Vave page turner. Using it with Adobe reader for PDF cribsheets, I was initially struggling but I needed to switch the reader settings to View | Single page and then put the turner into Android landscape mode. What apps are others with the Lekato and M-Vave page turners ( @fleabag, @stewblack, anyone else?) using them with?

    And leak the few signature models that they've created out via their back door as the extremely rare GT model (see "Edward VIII coins").

    Probably because the people creating that content are content creators and therefore his passing off is something that will potentially affect them directly, which equipment supply doesn't do.

    But most of them will be passive websites that just carry information and don't try to push anything to anyone. It's only web forums and other social media that will be examined, assuming that a web crawler can be adapted to detect forums.

    Same here (year and model), even though I don't play 4s any more except the odd open mic night when I take it for a run out.

    That's fine, as long as it takes the same amount of time to train an airline pilot or a surgeon as a till operator and the qualifications required are the same.

    Mrs Zero and Mrs Drummer are glad to provide that service. Sadly, it mainly consists of saying that the bass is too loud. Still not sure if that comes under the definition of "unreasonable behaviour".

    Page not available. The poster might be more helpful if it mentioned where this is happening.

    I built one with an ESP32 and a couple of footswitches - made it 9V powered as it was intended for use with effects as well. The Lekato looks an excellent buy, costs about the same as the overall cost of components and die-cast box for my DIY job - although mine will do line up and down, page up and down, and switch between apps.

    FTFY.
