Hello, so am I. I can possibly help you out with the jams. where are you approximately? The midlands bass bash has been in Nottingham last year but was previously in Doveridges and Leicester

I liked a short scale “spider” bass, very loud for its size

If it’s a device packed up in a box, rather than a bass that just needs to be taped back into its box, I can totally see why they don’t check thimgs like midi controllers and just rely on the tiny failure rate

Yes would be acceptable if it was an acoustic bass, naturally

Mine was a German musima p bass copy in white/white/maple it got a jazz bass pickup added, quite badly. I regret all of this as I didn’t know quality when I saw it

I’m just saying that I can see how someone could get into a pickle, I’m not saying it has been handled well or fairly or quickly by him. I honestly regret posting anything now

That looks f ckuing amazing … big thumbs up @neepheid

Google translate said “huh?” So thanks for the clarification

Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel seems to have been switched off. As someone who has been really, really poor I sympathise with possible tunnel vision about debt but I do also think he could have done things, and treated people, much better

Probably worth posting in the affiliates forum

I’m clean. Not bought a thing

Welcome, please make sure to fit in with the grumpy old man persona that seems to be de rigeur. there are members here from all over. And stay away from “marketplace”, if you want to avoid house-filling with stuff you didn’t know that you needed. (Yet)

Don’t think that’s the original tort plate. I’ve had one of these and it looks too red

@nekomatic I usually just take a zoom pedal and plug into the pa

@SamIAm the best reference I found for this was in “Bass guitar for dummies” by Patrick pfeiffer in which he goes through the scale for various chords and identifies which notes are good in strong beats and which make great passing notes on weaker ones it was the first explanation I ever read which made me think “ah!”. If you’re not 100% a music natural like I am not, a simple explanation is worth gold, frankincense and myrrh. Though maybe not so much myrrh next time … as Brian’s mum said

I wasn’t suggesting it, merely agreeing with @SamIAm that people don’t scale attachments in line with their height. For all I know @asingardenof might have the handsize of a premature baby or maybe useful surrogate snow ploughs

Look at Donald trump 6’2” and he has the hand dimensions of a six month old baby

Larger people can have small hands too, or reduced stretch

Agree, even with a 34” the audience won’t even notice that it’s not a guitar and is somehow different … 🤔 get a shortie and be even more inconspicuous

@Shiggs I’ve seen some very petite ladies manage a full sized bass. It can be done, you have to compromise on technique and deviate away from that 100% ideal perfect kind espoused in tutor books. Exactly as Scottish-me @neepheid says. Example Enid from Girlschool is about 5’0 and does just fine with a p bass. Maggie from Fuzzbox is petite and just moves her hand more often

That’s what we do 👍

There’s a left handed part of marketplace here, I believe
