  1. For the difference you could get one of these as well as the Squier. https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_beatbass.htm Edit: Or you could if they weren't sold out. Sorry 😕
  2. I don't think Mark worked for SBL but he's mates with Scott and certainly used to turn up on some of his videos. Geoff Chalmers (of this parish) used to work for SBL but moved off to start Discover Double Bass https://courses.discoverdoublebass.com/courses I've not done any of the courses from that site, but Geoff is a top bloke and knows his stuff.
  3. There's a few people on ebay who would say you can.🙂
  4. Cornettos don't have sticks 🙂
  5. Does it play like butter? 😊 In a more serious vein, one of the first things I look for is location.
  6. Is that the one with Leonard Rossiter on vocals? 🙂
  7. The New Main Street Singers or possibly The Folksmen (although they did actually do some performances)
  8. Just to confirm, I did mean "pony and trap".🙂
  9. I was at that one, but checking the line up, I can't believe I have no recollection of Devo. (I do remember that Starship were pony though).
  10. Bill Evans Trio - Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby Bill Evans -piano Scott Lafaro -bass Paul Motian - drums
  11. How about @ezbass?
  12. My daughter and I had a try out of these at the LBGS. Really rather nice. The pickups on the ones we tried were monstrous.
  13. VAT on anything over 15 GBP Customs Duty on goods over 135 GBP Postage, packaging, insurance and duty count towards the VAT Postage, packaging and insurance count towards duty And don't forget the Post Office's ransom admin charge. https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty (I wasn't charged anything when I got one a few months ago).
  14. Maybe we'd do better if we stood still on the stage. 😊
  15. Never did Bill Wyman or John Entwhistle any harm 😀
  16. Looks like a VSB80. Very nice bass (I have an almost identical one). GLWTS
  17. Muddy Waters supporting Eric Clapton at the Hammersmith Odeon 1978 The Band supporting CSNY at Wembley Stadium 1974
  18. A damp cloth
  19. When removing the screws, remember which hole they were in originally. Sometimes the makers may use different lengths.
  20. One of the first. Don't forget the likes of The Last Poets
  21. Ahem 🙂
  22. Sadly no, but if I was, that's how I'd want to sound. As Tom Lehrer said about another Danny, "he's been a particular idol of mine since childbirth" 🙂 If I had to specify one electric bass player, then I'd probably go for Jack Casady
