Quite an exciting end to the week is planned... Thursday - Phil Manzanera appearing at a venue about 10 mins walk from my house in south London,. He's talking about his new book with music writer Paul Sexton, but some music is also promised. 🙂 Friday - Squeeze at the Roundhouse Saturday - Nada Surf at Islington Assembly Hall

I will be seeing Squeeze at The Roundhouse in London on Friday. Definitely not my first time though 😀

Topical article by Graeme Thomson in the Guardian today https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/nov/15/we-cant-all-retire-because-someone-died-the-new-bands-honouring-the-spirit-of-old-ones-from-talk-talk-to-thin-lizzy Also, after reading the piece I am now most intrigued to listen to what Mark Hollis' son, Charlie is doing

Hit me up if you're playing in London and we might work something out 😃 FWIW this is the kind of thing I do when I have a 'proper' camera with me

Thank you! Just my iPhone and a little care taken 🙂

That should be fun. Sid Griffin is always great value for money

They put on quite a good show!

Last night off to The Underworld in Camden to see London's own Bleach Lab supporting shoegaze/grunge/riot grrl outfit Softcult from Toronto, at the end of a UK tour together - got there fairly early and bagged myself a spot by the bass amp 🙂 Softcult's bassist had a Squier Paranormal 'Rascal' HH which is very pretty and certainly a little different.

Just on my way to see Bleach Lab supporting Softcult at Underworld in Camden this evening

The same age as me, this is my 1967 Hofner Verithin I bought it in 1988 from a friend who had replaced the tuners with some Schallers; everything else is original. For the band I was in then, I took great advantage of its ability to feed back to create some terrifying drones when crouched in front of the Sessionette 100 I was using at the time. 😎 For the last few years I have kept it strung with D’Addario Chromes. It still comes out to play every once in a while.

apparently, it’s OK not sure I have much use for a 6 string bass (let alone the room in my house to keep it) but I am almost tempted just for fun at that price

So I discovered I’m trying to butt out of this gracefully 🙂

Fair enough, although that hadn’t been my own experience with several other varieties of (Bluetooth) wireless IEMs edit: using NUX C-5RC wireless lead system which I am very happy with

What an amazing prize! That is a lot of records

Serious answer (although I am not quite sure if ther question is 🙂) - YMMV but with the combined latency of both wireless systems, that is likely to end up with a noticeable delay between hitting the note on your bass and hearing it in your ears
