  1. It is a generalisation but it isn’t harsh. Obviously your drummer was an exception, and, given those circumstances, I would have happily shared transport duties too. I would also favour a non-driving drummer with a pro attitude over a driving drummer with a bad and lazy attitude, thing is in my experience, including fifteen years being a drum tech for touring bands, I have never met the former but have encountered a plethora of the latter.
  2. Well the boat bringing my Chowny SWB Pro docked in the very early hours of this morning and left for Rotterdam in the last hour so I am assuming my bass will soon be on its way to Steven and then to me. I took delivery of the Gator GC-ELEC-XL case this morning, odd how frustratingly light it feels!
  3. Or, alternatively, chin both of them.
  4. This is easy... Drummer = c*** Singer = c*** ...any drummer who doesn’t drive isn’t a drummer, they are a royal pain in the a*** and that’s before any of the other negative traits you mentioned. Embrace the C word here and walk.
  5. This is an option I am seriously considering.
  6. Just for comparison purposes, obv...
  7. I believe it to be a thumb rest.
  8. They do the SWB-1 in fretless but I would prefer a lined neck and I’m not sure I like any of the SWB-1 finishes. If Chowny did a lined fretless version of the SWB Pro I’d order one in an instant.
  9. As yet I've not found one I got on with.
  10. Christ I’d forgotten he died, what a loss...
  11. God help me I’m just down the road to you and if I can just sell another bass I’ll be back...
  12. Oh sweet baby Jesus and the saints...
  13. Excellent documentary, what a player. Spitting image of Nigel Tufnel as well.
  14. Does anyone own, have experience with, or can recommend a short scale (30” or less) lined fretless bass, electric or acoustic?
  15. I watched it arc through the air and hit the target so unless you are Toyah then I’m afraid it was another yob.
  16. I once gobbed over Toyah mid-gig at The Rainbow on the 21st February 1981. I am considering making it a double in November.
  17. I went from 34 down to 28.5 and the only difference was playing became significantly easier. I had no positional problems whatsoever.
  18. As environmentally friendly as the oar might be, I too am relieved at the use of an engine in this case.
  19. I am a bit of a train spotter so the Marine Traffic app is excellent anyway, I have a couple of questions about a fretless SWB so I’ll PM you.
  20. Hurrah and huzzah, underway with an arrival date!
  21. Keeping my fingers crossed for you Sir, fickle idiot that I am I’ll probably get fed up with mine by the end of the week.
  22. Put a post in the ‘wanted’ section, I got a reply within a day.
  23. No, I am beginning to agree with you actually, which, after all, is one of the points of floating such thoughts on a forum, to talk some sense into myself.
