You keep it in a stable ? It’s not a guitar, it deserves better than being p1ssed on by horses

Nice relic job ! Was it a squier once upon a time? only joking - very nice. Good luck

But if you make them bright enough you’ll be able to see your bass from space and how cool would that be?

JFDI

👍 by that selfless act of posting photos you have saved 10 people from the misery of becoming a guitarist

I demand the finest bass Po rn available to humanity, dammit! what a piece of work is a man! How very noble … etc. </withnallRant> so supply pictures or I’ll send some people to guitar lessons 🤢

My zoom will octave up, that might do?

Thanks waste not want not

I’ll buy them. Quite good enough for me

Welcome

I’m not sure anyone was rushing I think they just play fast al the time even the singer commented on it being so, the guitarist was super loud and very confident. Nice guy but a stereotype player. @Downunderwonder I was first up as I was in their direct line of sight and yes somewhat ambushed as I’d given up on them due to the late start such that I really had to be on my way.

I’m sure the drummer knew what he was doing, I just couldn’t hear him. I was right by drums, to his right. I looked at a few versions of tab and cover version.

That’s with a busted pickup and a poor relic job naturally

I’d look at any instrument that was better quality than the standard of my playing and keep the change. So, one $150 squier affinity later …

I’ve spoken to the organiser (who wasn’t there that night) and he is wisely telling me not to overthink this, suggesting that I come along for a few nights and don’t play and get to know people instead. He suggests that a combination of needing to go, going first and not feeling comfortable didn’t help (own failures notwithstanding)

I don’t have an amp, I would have been playing along to the music on headphones (had I made it to note #2)

No, I have kids, a disabled partner and a ton of work to do on my house. My bass spent 7 years in a wardrobe when we moved in. im not phased by a 12 bar

Thanks I’ve been thinking about the root causes of this. Inadequate preparation, edge of curfew so less willing to get up and felt pressured, loud band of people completely unknown to me, couldn’t hear drummer, not used to playing in a band they kept turning me up and I knew I had got lost and kept reducing my volume (not proud of that part)

Their postage is very expensive

He’s got me confused … how on earth could that happen to anyone ? You’re weird Mister 🧐

That’s good advice though I was ready to play it in either A or B this surprised me as I wasn’t phased and normally would have been
