She plays better bass than me whilst riding a unicycle (see YouTube) And now I see that she is even more talented than I thought. What’s not to like ?

You’ve not heard of day-bleed then? Resistance in the fancier cables is higher on adjacent days to Friday - thicker and more goldish cables are more prone to it

I had heard that for optimum sound you should not connect any cables on Fridays …

Me? No. I liken being a bass player to being a dad looking after “stroppy teenager” drummers and “toddler” guitards. If they want you to use a pick they can “get tae f***”, is I think, the appropriate phrase in Scotland.

Nope. Haven’t touched a drop

What the f*** does a guitarist know about anything? I don’t know why you, someone smart enough to play bass, would even listen to someone struggling to get beyond baby-babble

No, it’s richly deserved payback and thus carries a stamp of approval from God

They criticised your tone? WTAF? tell them to go f*** themselves with a fish fork 🤬

I know, but @Sean and his predecessors aren’t actually dead as a result so I felt the spinal tap reference worked better with his situation in mind …. 🤷‍♂️

And their heads nailed to the floor. Seriously do something to really screw things up for them. Like walking out on a gig five minutes before kick-off

As chicken curry loves chips. IF I recall a night out in Wigan “with a lady” correctly after all these years

I guess they didn’t get the memo about proper spinal-tap behaviour being changing drummers like they change underwear and went for bass players instead 🤷‍♂️

For once, I agree 100% with Mr @AndyTravis

You should have left regardless … theyre treating you like you’re their dog

What about casters and a dog lead? That looks great (how the fghk does anyone do this stuff? 🤷‍♂️)

I have exactly this one. It isn’t heavy. I’d buy another in a heartbeat

I know a double bass luthier (he built his own cello from lumber), I c as n ask what he recommends

Where did I put that kindling? stake ? Check matches ? Check howling mob? Check

@neepheid reads my mind once more. I have an additional perspective; if I use household money to buy something for a song (stupid end-time on eBay, grubby but polishes up etc) and I like it, I keep it. I’d never treat myself to something at market rates . Management is aware of that. I have an understanding with management that if I make money on shifting something I bought cheaper (but don’t like) then I give back the purchase price plus the profit for the general good. I’d never knowingly sell for more than a “basschat price” however. I feel fairly comfortable with the morals of this.

Yes. #sorted
