The great Julia who can actually play bass whilst riding a unicycle.

Huge thanks @greghagger for today and helping make some sense of these events above as well as other topics

Looks pretty good. Thumbs up

I forgot to say thanks for creating porridge …

I’ve not had that feeling in 15 years, the memory grows dim

Invent a Time Machine, my dear Scottish brother from another mother and make it tues/wed earlier than it should be. Then you need not “get by” with mere images Simples

I focus this in an alternative way. I don’t need a new bass to get better at X. This bass is better at being a bass than I am at playing it. It is I would need to get better at X. for X substitute “timing”, “note choice”, “showmanship”, “talent” or bete-noire du jour

“Yes” and “lots” there you go. sorted

T c electronic bh250 has both and isn’t a combo

I used to live in Hampshire church crookham near fleet lovely place

I teach my daughter guitar. I get to play bass whilst helping her keep time and she’s genuinely happy to play along with someone, it’s what I lacked when learning If you can avoid puking, why not play chords for him to play along with. ?

You were already senile, though possibly not yet mad, when you joined

I was actually born in clacton on sea. I’ve never lived there in Essex though aside from a two-year sentence in Chelmsford (education, not prison, though there were some similarities)

Thought you’d have owned at least five. I had one but didn’t like the wide board

They’re nice people i said to the keys player last night “ when I come here and see you guys play, I know just how far I still have to go” thinking maybe “in the midnight hour” as my debut.

He doesn’t have kids or a house with a diy mountain. I might get 20 hours in over a period of two years

Going to suggest “in the midnight hour” as a) a homage to duck Dunn b) we have a lady saxophonist so the horn parts are do-able c) I absolutely love that tune and it’s the first one I figured out by ear so it’s a huge proud moment for someone as talentless as I am I spoke to the ridiculously talented keyboard player who happens to be the brother of the ridiculously talented bass player about a full-on blues jam next time if anyone has any killer blues jam endings please let me know (the climbing up the neck to the dusty end eighth note pluck-fest type of thing)

It helps though I just use grenades @SpondonBassed I live next to a school so the use of military hardware is fully justified seriously though @Suezee what bass are you playing most right now and what genre do you most enjoy ?

There was someone who built a garden studio @WHUFC BASS ?

Welcome quite a few female members on here btw you don’t have to be a grumpy old man on this site

The bass player has a single cut six string fretless and he’s ridiculously talented. He told me once he practices 20 hours of every week.

I feel slightly better, and it’s not just the schadenfreude
