Should be easy enough as long as you get the main theme in. But its busy,. Those groups in the videos, it always seemed like they were the sort of groups that are more fun to be in than listen to!

Because it was dead or because there was a fight?

haha - looked on his facebook page. That video has one comment - "Youre a f***n moron!" Yeh, he can't expect to sell it easily when he treated it like that! Shame it was fairly local

Almost certainly - there are probably more complaints on this forum about the gibson three point bridge than anything else.

I had one of those, it was nicked, I would love that back.

I didn't see the video, but I had looked at his facebook posts and he said about a month ago that he had intentionally thrown it from the stage and he was impressed that it didn't break, so i figured it was one to avoid.

Obviously a feature. We saw the police in 1983 reading festival. The ones at thames valley that is, a lot of our stuff got knicked. Surprisingly and quite pleasantly, we got most of it back and noone had to get any slappings (maybe the guy who knicked the stuff did, would have been ok with that).

I was sort of thinking about one. I don't really normally like fenders, and am not that bothered about vintage, but today I played a 1965 Jazz bass with flats on it, and TBH, it was one of the nicest fenders I had ever played, i would be more than happy to have something like that, but it was a little bit more money than I would want to pay (ok, rephrasing, it was 5x the amount I would like to pay!), and it occured to me it would be a bit of a liability, too expensive to take anywhere, but I wouldn't want to play with all the metal on and frankly the pots could do with replacing (and I know you can't do that sort of stuff)

Thats what I challenged. If you were ONLY in it for the money, you would be doing something other than gigging.

Its not your negativity. If I had had happen to me what happened to you, I don't think I would be as positive as you are!

Trust me, there is such a thing as bad publicity, for someone who did have them very much on the radar!

Relating to the other thread - you don't play the keyboards by any chance do you?

Its not true though, he says that, but he also says he lives to gig. So he is not only in it for the money!

I am suspecting that maybe she might have had more to do with the writing of that than him. And who would blame her with a bowel of porridge!

I love gigging. Normally we are doing 2 or 3 gigs a month, but this year is a bit weird, so far done 3 gigs, but don't have anything for 4 weeks, and then nothing for 4 weeks after that - various holidays and new jobs getting in the way. I did join a new band (as well) last year, and we may be doing our first gig in 5 weeks, so that should be good. Shame they weren't ready earlier, could do with something to fill the spaces! Unlike others here, I play the bass at home a lot. Sometimes the keyboard, occasionally the guitar, rarely the flute, but pretty well every day I play the bass.

No it isn't all. Guitarists - bloody Guitarists

Yeh, sadly not much of a way round that apart from a hope that when it has all calmed down, those things said in anger will be overlooked for one of those understandable things that happen. Only time is going to tell on that, and of course, probably depends on how bad the injury to his daughter turns out to be.

Haven't they left? I don't know, something like that isn't an every day event so decisions about future events should probably be left until people have had a chance to cool down and think about it.

Probably all of them!

Oh god no, I couldn’t wear one of those unless I was in a 70s classic pop group! Everyone had belts like that in the 70s, or at least my parents generation did

They are available in leather or as a vegan option. My wife is a vegan and when I mentioned my lack of blue strap she offered to get this. I love paisley anyway. I am not specifically fussed about vegan but if I can get a thing that’s just as good but nothing had to suffer for, it’s a no brainer. I really like the size adjustment and plectrum holder bit

Handy I suppose if you broke your headstock!

Got one of these for the new blue bass - I didn't have a blue strap so I ordered one of their vegan ones in paisley blue. Just turned up, rather nice!

Glad for those working there that it has been rescued, although as it has gone down the tubes twice in 5 years and been rescued, maybe it needs some sort of structural change. I must admit to not understanding how it can stay functional.

Even if they were, wouldn't that be the same as any other manufacturer having different models? Like I said, the fender J and P, not really that much difference.
