Sorry to interrupt the hilarity you cheeky scamps but can I just ask @jebroad is this Bash confirmed for certain, as in hall booked etc.? Only checking because I want to book a hotel for the evening before so I don't have to do a round trip on the day.

Let me know if you're bringing stuff that's not shown below and I'll add it to the list.
I should be bringing an Ibanez SRC6 as well.

Is there anything more crippling for a man than plumage envy..? 😁

She claims a lot of things but the other protagonists are dead and no one kept any records anyway. I take her claims with a pinch of salt for these reasons and I would say the same about Babbitts claims or those of anyone else active at the time, hence my irony
She had some cool shades though.

There's all sorts of unsafe and sipid music produced by every generation... You may not like it, but that's the point, isn't it?
Try these for a start:
Sleaford Mods, excellent, unsafe, sipid and almost old enough to be grandparents.

@Jabba_the_gut don’t let me leave the SW Bash without me trying one of your shorties, I’m thinking one of those might be my second purchase from you (before you become my personal luthier).

Carol Kaye?
We are not, none of us, worthy. Carol Kaye is, imho, top of the shop.

He isn’t a seriously good drummer. It isn’t all about ability, if he isn’t present he’s a crap drummer. Sack him, quickly.

Too bluddy right. The fixation on technique seems mainly to be a thing for teenage boys who thrap away on their guitars/basses in their bedrooms. At that age it's understandable.
I thrapped away on something else in my bedroom as a teenager, something even more understandable.

I’m not a huge fan of the Beatles nor of Macca (or Sir Thumbsaloft as he’s referred to in these parts) but he played interesting melodic and most importantly totally song-serving bass lines in some of the most important songs ever written, that, to me, makes him a top drawer bass player. Give me that over virtuosity or ‘technique’ every time.

We all inserted our own terms when we got to this bit.

Better than being a complete tit though. (I've never seen a partial tit now that I think...)
I saw a partial tit in the garden this morning, it was missing its 4th knob.

ive picked up a Epiphone Rumblekat because i was interested in a short scale, ive added a hipshot bridge and some deep talking flats (tuners next) and im really pleased with it, so easy to play, but im convinced i need a Duesenberg now! but i must admit i cant imagine one would be so much better than the Rumblekat after my mods
It wouldn’t...
2 hours ago, Musicman20 said:They make lovely looking instruments, but as far as I know, they are made in Korea (?!) then shipped to Germany (?) for inspection. You are paying a LOT for a Korean built guitar (they make great guitars btw, but the prices are usually £600-£1000).
I think the majority of the component parts are made abroad then shipped to Germany for assembly with the minimum amount of German made components to legally allow it to be sold as a ‘German’ product.
i think everyone is on the right track, they look lovely but that’s it, certainly the case at their price point.
-
I have been led to believe that the components are made cheaply outside of Germany, imported in and then assembled there allowing it to be classed as a German product. I know a few people who have them and are non-plussed considering the price.

Don't go getting any ideas now, Mr. Blank!
BassChat has a very large cat-friendly contingent! 😹
I am all for cats, very pro cat indeed, airborne or in a vice, obv.

Fascinating. I’m just about to change preamp from one with on board compression to one without so I’ll need a separate compressor, so this is really interesting and extremely useful, thank you.

Erm...I hate to break it to you FB, but it's BassBash, not CatBash™
There'll be no cruelty to animals (or Basschatterpeople), hopefully...

Interesting reading this, as I'm suffering a fair bit of 'imposter syndrome' at the moment!
Most people, in most of their endeavours, in most fields feel imposter syndrome in one form or another, I think people that don’t are perhaps at best insensitive and at worst arrogant. Don’t let it stop you is the most important it to remember, just keep doing yo’ thang.

Don't be, I was guffawing like a drunk, my apologies for interjecting with dullness.
