    Yep!

    It's a little like saying well stone-age man only needed............ He did the majority of his playing at a time when there were very few extended range instruments around. Five strings instruments were just starting to be accepted as a means to cover bass parts previously played on a keyboard. Who knows what he'd have gone on to do?

    My siamese objects to your thread title by the way

    I've done a lot of solo bass gigs over the last year and a half and was quite nervous at the first one. The only time that I was really nervous was when I did one with Steve Lawson last year.

    This is the version I've always played, we did it at uni too and it was pretty much the same as this. I'd be playing it from the 4th fret of the E string up, that's where I'd be playing the Ab. The highest note os the Db which I'd play on the 6th fret of the G string.

    Here are a couple of photos of one next to a tape measure. They’re about 19mm in diameter. There’s a little Alan key thing that you tighten up.

    Brand new. Too big for my bass. Price includes postage.

    No, they're just normal black knurled metal knobs.

    A friend of mine does it all the time. He knows enough people that who he knows can just turn up and play. If one person can't do it, then he knows several other people. I've done some nice gigs with him, there was a Christmas market in Birmingham, best of all was a bandstand in the middle of a lake in Worcester.

    This is why I won't post a bass, or anything really expensive or fragile. Often the insurance that they insist you take out doesn't cover instruments anyway.

    It’s an arrangement I’ve got with a jazz band I play for. If they’ve got 30 gigs over the year then me and the other 2 get 10 each.

    Train and walk.

    Stainless steel tend to be rougher to the touch than nickel, hence more finger noise, at least in my experience.

    In excellent condition. I've replaced them with a set of wooden ones.

    It’s great, I no longer need worry about walking through doorways, or like just now walking along the aisle on the train.

    It’d be a pointless bass gig bag if the only room for the headstock was 8cm.

    No it’s a guitar gig bag, that’s why I answered.

    Should point out my bass is a headless Sei too, 34” scale and there’s a good bit of room between the top of the instrument and the top of the gig bag, at least 8cm or so.

    It would indeed, but try the Fusion Urban guitar bag first. A whole lot cheaper, more pocket space, and it's better padded too. https://www.fusion-bags.com/collections/urban

    It’s hard not to have to stifle a yawn just at the thought of it.

    Thanks

    Very true. Though to be honest there really isn't room to put anything around the battery. You can barely squeeze it in.

    That looks very neat, and actually what I was expecting to see myself. I was a little shocked when I took the cover off last night. The last time I soldered anything I burned the carpet and my finger

    How do you mean? Sorry but I'm hopeless at this kind of thing, so your advice is invaluable, and much appreciated. It did make a loud clunk a couple of times last week when I caught the jack plug against my lap.
