I'm with @Teebs as wide as possible and personally I've never purchased a patterned strap.

Just realising my first comment was a little far from welcoming so, welcome, Sir.

Yes, but he/she's crossed the house so to speak so good on him/her. Bass playing is a bit like Hotel California, You can check out any time you like but you can never leave...

Based solely on the response to Damon Albarn on here I've sought out the The Good, The Bad & The Queen album and am thoroughly enjoying it, some lovely reggae influenced bass lines running through it. I remember my Dad *spits* turning TOTP or the radio off when Bowie, Roxy Music or Sparks (there were more, it was quite an extensive list) came on, it was a clue to the music actually being interesting.

Welcome to Essex.

Cheers Pete!

Having played here again I had a better look at this top and the make is Maine, anyone know anything about these amps? I love the tone of it and would love to find one.

MacBook Pro, all the way.

I have a Kingman, it’s really loud and allows you to ‘dig in’ like no other acoustic bass, if only they made a short scale version...

I’m a big Wendy & Lisa fan, particularly of Wendy Melvoin’s guitar playing, much underrated imho.

He was, knew nothing about the man, loved that performance.

Bloody hell, is that Paul Simonon with Damon..?

Is it bonkers?

Then when you’ve fvcked it completely take it to a luthier, as I have each time I’ve attempted any kind of bass diy... 😁 seriously though, good luck!

It’s a cracker, have you listened to it?

WTF?

A beautiful monster.

If it helps the first time I played it I had a similar face on, ten minutes later I was in heaven.

Bernard Manning?

No, you hard of hearing fool, we're doing naked spaghetti macramé specifically to avoid being on the pace.
