    Evri

    Has anyone else had Evri claiming to be unable to access property? recipient runs a farm and is there 24/7 tri d using the chatbot to register an alternate destination of a parcel shop but it’s ignored it’s an eBay sale
  2. I have arthritis coming in my left hand and can no longer cope with full scale I’m being encouraged by my lovely partner to buy something for myself with some incoming money that adds up to inheritance but long delayed I’ve fought long and hard to push my idiot, pathetic and pathologically risk averse cousin to sell something that we co-own and today her hand was finally forced from indulging in endless procrastination and long-grass kicking can anyone advise me about 32” scale basses-are they just Japanese made ?
  3. He did mention that he owned a guitar 🤢 otherwise he’s fine anyway @Robbo I’m still at the awful stage
  4. Think @benh knows a few things also
  5. Paging @Andyjr1515
  6. You could reduce it a bit, make a mark and count the turns I’ve never bothered myself
  7. Good call …
  8. Not sure I could build that but maybe could find a cheap one on AliExpress
  9. Thanks I really wanted small and cheap but I’ll bear your suggestion in mind
  10. Could you take a picture of the thing in bold? I can google the last one
  11. I no longer have an amp. It was in the way and too big. I have a zoom b2.1 that will drive headphones. Can anyone tell me if I can run a small speaker cabinet, or a battery amp for the rare occasions when I need amplification ? thanks
  12. Suggest a lesson or two
  13. I went by your profile. Piece of advice, start with a jam session (see below) and just observe first time. I talked to the drummer at my local one and he gave me their basic set list to pick from. Take your bass and commonly people will strike up conversation. Be honest about your abilities and they’ll support you I’d avoid open mic nights to start with as a) bass is not generally a solo instrument and the guitarists who run them don’t get that and b) you need to spend time at each to find someone who wants to collaborate with a bass player. Since they are usually acoustic types, turning up with an electric instrument generally indicates a lynching is imminent. I got very lucky with a young lady who organises my local OM as all sorts come to her nights and she’s good at matching people up and supporting them but that’s not normal
  14. Try joining this Facebook group 📸 Look at this post on Facebook https://m.facebook.com/groups/725569490932040/?ref=share&mibextid=K35XfP
  15. You’re only in Leicester, how mobile are you ? I go to a few around Coalville, Groby, Ashby
  16. I agree, but at least a five / six string bass is not weedy-sounding or wielded by a guitard
  17. I have one. please don’t mention the “six string” thing unless the word following it is “bass”; Amazon have got fresh stocks of tar and feathers in now 😛
  18. He hasn’t actually said how many he has in total. It may well be that his actual count of “about 20”** is a mere ripple in the headstock count of others here allowing for “had since a teen/mum bought it/Found it in a skip and nursed it back to health/its my pension/significant birthday/partner doesn’t know” extras
  19. It depends, if you don’t like the idea of sentient bass bodies that are fairly unhappy about being cut, chamfered, sanded etc then I’d say “avoid”. Unless it’s old wood and thus magically better somehow
  20. Maybe I just don’t get them, I didn’t say they were not a good performance
  21. And ? Mine was a farmer pretty sure Shakespeare’s dad wasn’t a playwright
  22. I was referring more to darkness and foreboding as in Tolkien
  23. What was the mary wallopers thing about, and why did rod stewart look a bit wasted
  24. I watched 25 minutes and deleted it and that was mostly using fast forward
