[quote name='mrtcat' timestamp='1474973708' post='3141897'] Recording of a dep that the singer from my band and I did on Saturday. Easy to learn the set because they use backing tracks so they sent us the tracks and we were both able to run through a few bits on our own before the gig. Went well despite the drummers best attempts at making us laugh to put us off. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CutYNHBTaA8[/media] [/quote] TASTY!

It used to do that for me if i was accessing the site from a mobile but not from a regular 'puter.

Musicman Bongo! I've owned 3 since. Regretted getting rid of 1 of them sorely.

2003; first picked up a guitar and put down the PS2. I can't say I regretted that one!

My fun with JHK's lovely Yamaha at the Bass Bash.

[quote name='Dedamn666' timestamp='1474925579' post='3141610'] Someone is selling one on Facebook at the minute. Bass Players Market. He's asking £1400 [/quote] Seen it. If it were a 5SSS, I'd have gone to t'brum from Sussex right away. 4SSS and a bit steep.

I'm sitting here on payday to annihilate approximately 96% of my paycheque on a bass. Costs until the next payday are covered but it's so tempting to plunge into it. Anyone else done this before?

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1474922265' post='3141585'] An old topic, but a good one to revisit. First and foremost, it's probably not a good idea to join a band if you haven't defined or even know what you're looking for in a band. You probably have a life outside of music and playing bass. What can you realistically commit to? Make sure you ask questions. Here are a few of my favorites. 1. How long has the band been together 2. Tell me about turnover, how long has your current line up been in tact. 3. How many gigs did the band play last year. 4. How much travel is involved. 5. Do you book through an agency or book yourselves 6. Does the band own commercial grade lights and sound 7. Why did the last bass player leave 8. How is the band paid, equal split or is there a heirachy system Those are 8 pretty basic questions, there are more. What questions do you ask?

After trying Cetera's Yamaha BB3000, I pretty much fell in love with the tone and feel of it. Although most know me as a Musicman zealot, I found this bass to be truly gorgeous. Anyone else owned one of these? How much should I expect to find one for about? I'd love to get one, string it up with some flats (the Sadowsky ones I tried were truly gorgeous, of which I must thank OBBM for letting me try) and have fun with it.

Loved it. Are you guys playing anywhere further west at all?

[quote name='NancyJohnson' timestamp='1474743556' post='3140228'] Couldn't we do it every six months? [/quote] I was joking with WalMan on the way back about the idea of a nationwide one being spread over two days. So many bassists...

Best day I've had in a long time. I'm eagerly awaiting the next one!

This is going to be awesome. I hate to sound like a bit of an idiot but it seems I've misplaced my kettle lead for the Genz. Could I possibly borrow one for today at all, please?

It's so quirky and yet so brilliant. I don't mind having a bit fo a strange bass considering my 5HH Bongo in a creamy, white colour was dubbed 'the world's greatest sounding toilet seat'. Also, if anyone knows of a 5SSS going available, please send 'em my way.
