wouldn't wood be a good option, then you can paint it the right colour

Yeh, what we had at new years, wouldn't have known anything about it if someone else hadn't told us some other band were on.

Thats because you are on your own friends list!

You are right, I can't listen to anything by him even once!

The performa is a nice bass

Well, a new venue has opened up recently in our town, it is under a resteraunt, quite low ceilings, low lighting, little groups of chairs, very tastefully decorated, the sort of place you would go to meet someone for having an affair or something - looks like a little jazz club, very cute. I can imagine a sultry singer in the corner, with a guy on a double bass and a drummer, with a bass, snare and tom playing with brushes some gentle music. Only they didn't get that, they got us! I was a bit worried about this one as it really didn't seem like a good fit, but a gig is a gig and they booked us. Turned up earlier than others, started loading in, at least there is room out the front to go straight in (can't park there, but there is a car park round the corner, but loading is fine). We had the whole of the window area, so had to wait for the drummer to set up to see how much room we had, had a couple of feet between a monstera and the cymbals, enough for me. The only hard part of the setup was getting in each others way and the fact there were already people there who wanted to chat. But the place filled up with quite a few people we knew, and some people who came specifically to hear us, including one woman who plays bowling in the room below where we practiced on thursday night so though we sounded good! Started off quite quiet and went down well. The drummer got louder and faster through the gig but not much you can do about that. After much discussion we didn't really change the set list that much, brought back some older ones, couldn't do the newer ones as a lack of practice over the last few months. But all in all, a good gig, people seemed to enjoy it, the staff liked it, and after years of declining venues in town, its nice to see one come back.

Need to plug your phone in

It is - I tested it. However, there is a new issue which needs to get sorted out which is halting all mail

Seems like it should be better now according to my stats

Dingwall certainly do fretless as an option Clearly I read that wrong, nothing to see here

I have not seen / heard of that. Also the email system has nothing to do with the PM functionality

hopefully

Absolutely - have a gig on friday, the first gig or practice in a month. Gonna be great

That's the theory but as one of the few people with a 42" scale electric bass (ie, not EUB, which is the same), the 42" G doesn't sound twangy at all. I think the best reason is that it is easier to play.

It is - its one of those lines that you can use for warming up or just testing a bass out

You certainly can get it to work on windows, its just a bit more work. Is there nothing on the A&H site about it?

I suspect the problem with an eub bag is the width. The bag I have for my NS:Wav is clearly way to narrow, I would assume they all are!

The full length, bass to tip of the headstock is 134cm Been looking, found a Warwick Buzzard case that was long enough, but an odd shape which might not fit (in fact, I was puzzled how it fits a buzzard), and a few 88 key cases. There is an Flying V bag that is long enough but it tapers to the neck (as you would expect from a V), which is where the sei is the widest.

I assume the two larger black boxes are those, due to the colours of the wires, but no labels on them, not sure if they are removed or on the bottom. Still haven't found anything, was going to modify an existing old bass case with an extension, seemed easier than making a new case!

I have an old original macbook air - like an original 2008 intel macbook air, and I use garageband to record from the mixer. Its not worth anything so no risk using it live and it works fine.

I have used the Behringer as a multitrack recorder many times. Having said that I haven't tried adjusting the levels when playing as I am normally one of the ones playing! Slightly easier in my case though as it was into a mac so I just plug the USB in and press go.

That used to be a regular in our repertoire for many years, seems to have disappeared in recent months. Good fun bass line to play

An alpha mako. And now I have a Sei, perhaps a slightly shorter one for gigging around, so a 5 string headless fretful.
