I was very surprised - I bought a bass that was pickup only last week, and the basschatter very kindly offered to box it if I could courier it. So I looked around and thought I would give parcelforce a try. Did the dimensions and the weight and it ended up at £10. I thought that was cheap so I got my wife to double check as she does lots of shipping, and sure enough, same result. So I thought maybe it is the cost of cover that bumps it up - it was covered to £150, so I thought I would put it the cost which was £250 and it went up by £2, so I got that too (ok, no good if they break it but if they lose it which seems more likely). So I booked a 48 hour service with them where they turn up with the labels, take the box and deliver it here, which they did, all went smoothly. £12.

Wouldn't think that £50 for delivery from the states was that expensive.

In this case that you posted it is because those images aren't not actually there. They were probably removed in the great 'not enough space for pictures' crisis of a few years ago

Of course they don't, but its not about them, he specifically said he wanted to try to do not the same as every other group. Can't think of any local groups apart from us that don't do Dakota, and thats only because I put effort in for us not to do it!

Wouldn't that literally fall into the thing he was trying to avoid of sounding like every other group?

Just bought a GWB35 off Mike, well described, all went through smoothly and was a pleasure to deal with, thanks!

20 minutes? luxury.

Looks like a great value fun little bass. I have a 28" scale bass which I use quite a lot (and have gigged a couple of times) and it is a good size in the house

Unless they are sequenced, it is pretty well impossible for most original bands too Also, not being Johnny Cash would have caused exactly the same lack of success. Ask an orchestra, they seem to like it. And the art of playing things, the fun of playing things and playing live motivates a lot of people more than coming up with something new. Some people prefer playing music to a 100 people who are all dancing and having a good time rather than their mum saying 'thats nice dear'.

I should be getting a fretless tomorrow, and I have a gig on saturday. Seems like the ideal oportunity to find out if it is a good idea

Why is Kitt turned into a right hand drive car?

I know that to be untrue!

Is there a crossover of things on bandcamp and other streaming services?

I have mine in a roqsolid cover and it has been fine

Hard to tell isn't it, there are always going to be people better than you and people worse than you. Some people think they are great and they really aren't, but they can't hear what makes them worse than someone else. Some people can hear the subtlety of the difference between them and someone else so think they are terrible - the dunning kruger effect I guess. Without people having a standard to measure themselves to, there isn't much way to compare

Average musicians that are gits?

Indeed - Opera without the singing (and in fact death metal without the honey monster singing) are fine, have no problem with that.

Hamill?

I would imagine that they would actually just assume you are lazy! I arrive, get all the stuff from the car, set up the PA, do the gig, break down the PA, load the car. If the drummer is there, I help him with the drum kit from the car and back to the car and he helps with the PA. The singer also carries stuff from the car and back, and does a little of the PA setup. The guitarist does FA. Because he is lazy. He stands around chatting.

Is this wireless? My bongo can't be used on a 2.4ghz wireless directly plugged in without getting a high pitched wine, but can if you connect it via a short wire. Either that or some sort of electrical inteference in the house, TV / Wifi etc.

Fair enough - I think the Scott one is worth commenting on as it is a different sort of album, the stones album.. well, its a stones album, so if you like them you will like it and if you don't I guess you won't!

I noticed booking with parcelforce today on their own website, they mention their billing is handled by parcel2go

Yes, you would have to cut and rewire the circuit tracks to do that.

The waza airs are the boss wireless link, not bluetooth. They have bluetooth for audio in from a music source and for app control.

I guess that is what she meant, but hard to get the whole story as it wasn't from her, it was from her friend who was kind of taking the p out of her. She was pretty impressed with the bass though!
