Just saw this on social media today. Here's the full video...

Did you ever try these?

I saw the drummer from Yes, Bill Bruford, play a jazz set in London. Some excellent bass playing too...

Yeah, their insurance excludes musical instruments, although that doesn't stop you paying for it if you don't read the full terms.

I did one recently where I used parcelforce and insured separately with this lot... https://www.secursus.com/en-gb/ It was alot cheaper than couriers that provided insurance also.

Just came across this thread and it's like therapy for me 🤣 I've been playing in church worship groups for 25 years with a few Christian bands thrown in for good measure. I've had everything from an American full time worship leader to the current regime of turning up half and hour before to have a run through. I'd definitely say additional practice pays off, but that is only possible if band members are committed and enthusiastic. I would also say this isn't just church related. I played in a jazz trio that did background stuff and there was no interest in rehearsing or taking the time to learn new songs. I left for that reason as it became really repetitive.

Fell in love with an electra that @ots was selling, but I missed out. tracked a new one down (specific older model with maple fingerboard) at bass direct and it arrived yesterday. Had to fiddle around to sort out a buzzing 10th fret on E string, but sounding superb. 👌 👌 👌

I have to say i wasnt expecting that when I hit play!

Another Jazz meets D&B example... The bad plus

I concur. This I can get into. And I also have eclectic tastes

I agree, there's somthing about the sound that reassures me I have an OK tone - with other basses I'm tweaking all the time because I'm not sure
