You'd have struggled from Canterbury mate! 😱

Next up ... songs about major cities going bankrupt. 😱

I'm sure they're really jolly good, dontcherknow, but at £165 each they would bloody need to be. It's an infra-red sensor (so the remote control for yer telly) and an on/off switch. Ten quids' worth of components, maybe £20 on a bad day. Someone's 'avin' a giraffe. Haven't Donner copied this design yet? And if not, why not?

Reading all the above, I'm counting my blessings ...

I've heard from loads of people that the in-built wi-fi on whatever they've just paid for works great, and I've seen ever so many YouTube reviews where the reviewer from some big dealer chain doesn't actually say that the in-built wi-fi is complete bovine manure. But it is. It always is. I have no difficulty believing that the on-board wi-fi works fine if you're gigging in The Brecon Beacons or a remote valley in Utah. If your gigs are all in London and the Home Counties (as mine are) then you really really don't want to be relying on the in-built wi-fi. Don't ask me how I know.

Are you listening on your phone again? 🤨 😄

Well worth checking out. They make fine, punchy instruments that play really well, though their signature body shape doesn't appeal to everyone (including me). My solution was to buy https://reverendguitars.com/basses/mike-watt-wattplower-mark-ii/

Srsly? Other Instruments? Your 'avin' a giraffe, @Kiwi

You can't threaten me with a good time ...

Erm ... none at all. It already exists. https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/35-accessories-and-misc/ Is there some subtlety here that I've missed? 🤨

Thanks Steve. I appreciate that you've now put them on Standby but that last comment on its own would be enough to have me reaching for the Off switch.

The finances of any given website or forum will generally be so opaque as to be quite impenetrable to the Users, and Basschat is no different to that. All of which said, it's hard to understand how such a thriving and successful Forum, with so many subscribing Members and a busy (and paid for) Marketplace can be running short of money.

Personally, I feel honoured and, yes, humbled to be sharing the planet with someone called Dwayne Lafleur. If that name didn't exist, then we would need to invent it.

Don't think I've ever seen a Musician Wanted ad that quoted cash fees, and not at all sure that I want to be ahead of the curve on that. But thanks anyway.

Keepin' busy, Stu, keepin' busy. 😄

I wondered how long it would be before I heard from you. 😂 You'd be bloody ideal, too.
