Just weird, Dave - surely you didn't expect anyone to disagree? 🤪😜😇

Same here, have to practice downstairs when she's out as my room upstairs has filled up with (my own) rubbish. Started clearing it out a few weeks ago, but most of it is worth selling, so it takes time.

I'll sit down to learn a new song, but stand up to practise it once I've got it.

The OP did specify strings of a different gauge, not just a routine like-for-like string change.

Same here

If I change to a different type or gauge of strings, I usually need to give the truss rod a tweak.

I've gone through this cycle far too many times, the psychological weight of having more basses than you can 'justify' can become overwhelming, but realistically, unless you really need the money or the space, then just put a few out of sight and forget they're there for a year or two. It'll save you money in the long run - no need to ask I know that! For me, the main pressure is space, I have enough wall hanging for 6 basses, but currently have 7, so plan to sell 2 I don't use and buy another Jazz Bass that I will. The pressure to keep the numbers down comes entirely from myself, my wife always tries to talk me out of selling any of them. Unlike some people, she welcomes new basses and I have to sneak older ones out of the house if they are leaving the family!

I couldn't find this thread when I started gigging again, glad it's resurfaced. Played last night at a small local pub with a band I haven't played with for about 3 years. Good to see them again and play some songs I thought I'd forgotten but my fingers seemed to remember! That was my seventh gig this side of the Covid restrictions. Going along to a blues jam this afternoon, next gig is my daughter's wedding in a week's time.

Finally got to play the gig following cancellation due to double booking. Arrived last night to play and was told that he's double booked again, but had sent to other act (solo singer/guitar) away with some cash to cover expenses. Actual gig was good, had a few local guests from other bands coming up to join in, great atmosphere. Mixture of blues and rock n roll with a singer who's been playing the local circuit for a long time and knows what he's doing. A very pleasant way to spend an evening. Next gig is my daughter's wedding in a week's time.

Did he know them all by name? I have only one Precision at the moment, so it's easy - it's called 'The Precision". The four Jazz Basses are a bit of a struggle.

No problem - in fact we are planning to visit my wife's cousin & family in Wallasey in early September, so will be fairly near you.

"One Direction" - I have no idea what that means, other than the number of directions you can move at a time.

Best argument against eternal life I've ever heard. I've been actively avoiding the unlovable mop-tops for most of my life, having had the misfortune to have been at primary school in their 'prime'.

I'd prefer a three tone sunburst screen with tort icons. Then I'd feel right at home. (though possibly not entirely right in the head)

Thanks, got it. It's a lot easier on my eyes, especially the knackered one.

How do you see this dark mode? I can't find a button

OK, I have followed the instructions and hopefully have removed the formatting. Does it work OK now? I admit to being a complete ignoramus who it comes to computers (and most other things, really).

I think (always a dangerous start) that I edited the top line, possibly since the great update - but I can't be certain. Is there anything you want/need me to change?

If I changed the colour, I did so without realising that I had done so. I can't honestly remember if I wrote it in Apple Pages or straight into the form. I suspect the latter, as that's what I usually do. Have you tried the with any of my other ads (there's a Jazz bass & a Sandberg Panther in the 'basses for sale' section)?

Surely the beagle would eat the bagel before it started to go off?

My eyesight is getting worse by the day. Is this thread about bagels or beagles? And why do they stink? I realise that just about all dogs can smell a bit off after a good roll in some other animals excrement, but why would a bagel smell? Does it depend on what they've been dunked in? Have I run out of question marks yet?

Just heard that last week's cancelled dep gig has been re-booked for this week and I'm still needed. Always good to be in demand!

My current gig rig is an Orange Little Bass Thing and a Barefaced Super Compact, only played 3 or 4 gigs with it so far, but seems to hold its own. I suspect it will be loud enough for medium sized, gigs - anything bigger and I'm sure I'll be going through the PA anyway.

I'm fairly certain that the manual illustrates two 8 ohm cabs, one to each outlet, but doesn't specify whether they are in series or parallel I can't check as my manual has managed to lose itself in the few weeks since I bought the amp! I'd appreciate a definitive answer as well.

That's fine, except that the link doesn't work!
