Off to the 3 nuns in Loughborough- last time I went there in nov 22 i chickened out as I’d done no practice time due to money pit house and the mysterious passing of five years of diy drudgery. Partner urged me to go. I’ve still done no practice but am determined to get back in the saddle so am going to ask to sound-check at outset (p with flats) for a confidence factor then ask the hosts to pick a song which I’ll practice until they call it. (Sound check is either “the chain” or “groove is on the heart”) then I shall jump straight to performance with all the grace, agility and musical talent of a ten ton cat. as sheryl crow said …“crash and burn” but maybe not … last time I did this an audience member came up after and said “nice to hear a bass instead of all the weedy acoustics” I shall report

I’ll buy one when my talent outstrips the b2.1u that I have. which will be never .

I release you from your momentary vow of restraint. Perhaps if you fit racking on the ceiling you can fit it in. Somewhere

In farming country you could change the name to BlackUdder

Praying for inheritance plus you getting bored of it

That’s if he gets past the attack dogs and the portcullis. And the machine-gun emplacements

If you got bored, or decided you didn’t like it ….the bass I mean, not the colour

@rita often it can take months to arrive back with you. A returned item from Romania took three months.

You’re doing just fine on that

I’m slightly confused by his “there were two guitarists already so I bought a bass” story in The Unforgettable Fire, by Eamon dunphy it says that Adam was at boarding school and begged his parents to buy him a bass so he could play homemade “dirges” with a school friend edit Wikipedia has the story the same way I recall it from that book. See “early life” on his Wikipedia page - he got one at 14, so perhaps his memory is failing him

I think 50 plus years of residency from childhood is enough to acquire at least something of a Dublin accent

You’ll be fine

Ask @KiOgon

I would do something around E (duh) and A and bring in the two kinds of sus note as they appear in the sequence

If that’s the guy I bought from, the rear pickup rout was totally mis-shaped with lugs cut out for front pickup position it was made of pawlownia and was truly awful seller most unhelpful

My number 1 favourite bass playing lady. Drop dead funky.

I think I may have spotted a flaw or two with this otherwise excellent plan

I er, might need a screen wipe 🫢

My kid dropped it on concrete, which got dented slightly

Zoom b2.1u gets my vote way more competent than me

Do it

Hello, we have lots of US and Canadians here
