I like my VM4 passive, though the last but one gig I did I went active at half time to boost the bass after an audience request. My 71 P with flats is the deepest bass I own.

A seamless transaction - fully recommended Basschatter!

Played a village hall ‘Pub Night’ in the wilds of Dorset with the Otis Jay Blues Band. The audience came to eat, but were in decline numbers wise thereafter which is always difficult - you’re not the main attraction! But some nice comments from those who stayed. And what a stage! I hardly knew what to do with the room I had. Acoustically, brought my MIJ Jazz ‘Sonic’ and GK MB200 through two Barefaced One10. Sound was so boomy I used bridge pickup exclusively, but seemed to work ok. Image is pre-gig, obviously!

I said I would prefer local gigs to ones that involved too much travelling. He interpreted this as an insult to him - how I don’t know, cos he never got us a single gig anywhere! Maybe I am just not ambitious enough… We do have other options but this would be the easy one.

I used to hate the approach of that solo… gave me the willies! Well done for bluffing it.

It’s yours truly😮

Keep em coming chaps, thanks! Funny how drummers keep cropping up. It is a drummer, he quit without notice but now his replacement has moved in he is suggesting he might have made a mistake. We are using him as a dep initially but the future divides our band. One wants him in, one is undecided. And there’s me!

If you have experience of re-enlisting a former bandmate, please feel free to share. Has it worked for you? Do previous problems recur? If someone quit without warning would you trust them again? Ta!

And another successful transaction with this trustworthy Basschatter!🙏

Do tell us the names of your bands and the gear used🙏

You conjured up your inner Kelly Groucutt👏

Tony is kindly helping me out with a spare part for my Jazz Bass bridge. Very grateful!

No-one got one of these in their spare parts box then?🤔 Happy to pay a charitable donation/postage!

I think there’s room for us all in this big ol’ Basschat world! From what I have read I admire you both. My major motivation is the need to play for as long as I am physically able: too many of my musical inspirers are checking out, and the recent loss of @bumnote and @yorks5stringer has brought home how you never know how long you have got… PS I know what you mean about football, @Clarky … I am a Fulham s/t holder x2. Wish us luck tomorrow night!

One of several people I never met but feel I know. Sincere condolences to family and friends.

A perfect transaction in every respect. Prompt payment, good comms… recommended!

Intrigued as to how it works financially (not trying to be rude) to travel to Brighton for a support gig. Is it for exposure or do they actually pay?

Or a beetles fan?

I put a plea in items wanted to no avail. So please guide me. Maybe a pic would help… I have lost one of the long screws and associated spring from my Jazz Bass bridge . You can only buy in packets but I would prefer one that isnt going to stand out by being shiny and new. Can anyone help me please? 🙏 Here is the bridge missing a screw.

Much better!

Great communication on our recent deal - a trustworthy Basschatter!
