Just seen your introductory piece. Welcome to you. I hope you enjoy the forum. Nowt wrong with any bass in my book. Never judge a player by their bass. 👍😎

Hello to you. Welcome aboard. 👍

Yes, I'd noticed some of them!? Idea of him as a generator sounds good though.

make it a tandem and we could take turns touring with Nilo. 😂

SBL floats on the FTSE. Profits overtake those of the Oil companies. Protestors glue themselves to music shops across the country. Law passed to ban bass. Basschat crashes. Thread ends.

Don't really 'do' pedals, so may I bring two basses instead? (Fretted and fretless) 👍😎

Losing heroes from your youth really brings home mortality and that time waits for no man (or a woman if you are one - to quote Colin Hay). He provided great enjoyment to many during his time here, and that's a fine legacy in my book. Take it easy - you've gone far beyond the pain.

I'll sell/gift you my lot. I can even deliver them on a 'no-return' basis. 👍😆

Do local music shops have notice-boards where you can put some information about yourself out there - 'Bass player seeks ...' type of thing? Facebook? Are you up for traveling within a 10/20 miles radius from your gaff? Are there local evening classes for 'guitar' in your area? If there are, drop along. You'd be surprised how many 'tame' bassists are viewed as manna from Heaven and something other than your hip might click. I was gigging in bands five years before you were born -and still am - so, agreeing with comment(s) above, get yourself motivated and give it some. Let us know how it goes. Best wishes Snorkie (or Snorkle in this weather). 👍

Have a few amps, but mostly gig with Aguilar 751 or Euphonic Audio i-amp 800, into a pair of Bergantino 1x12s or an Eden 4x10. Although I have six class D heads, I, like flapping trousers as well and much prefer old school, hernia-inducing cabs. As I age disgracefully, I worry that Mrs Snorkie might find the 4x10 and the 1x18 as struggle, but have confidence she'll cope somehow. 😉

Pardon? 🤭

Just picked up on this one. Excellent news. Although we've never met, you seem a fine person to me. Delighted that your life, work and music are all heading upwards. Very best for the new job and 'new' home.

So, that's where our guitarist was that night! 🤔

Usually, when I find something I really like, the company either goes bust, or stops producing that particular model. Finding spares, etc. becomes a pain. Maybe I'm a jinx? 🤭

Janis Joplin, Maggie Bell and Elkie Brooks spring to mind? 😉

Do you have a 'local' FE College offering music as part of their curriculum? If yes, you may be able to either place a notice onto the faculty board/web-site, and/or be given an 'introduction' to suitable candidates through a tutor delivering on the course. Sometimes students are looking to participate in live playing scenarios to build credit towards their units. Good luck.

I think that's where Freddie got the idea. 😂

Yes to both questions 👍

That bought Nilo for three years. 😉
