This is an excellent idea, he could certainly run such a thing at a Bass Bash.

It's a big cask but I think I'm up to it, I'm a Brut. Judging by the sommelier this thread has gone right off.

I too was baffled by compression. I was also baffled by the singer/guitarist in my duo (an experienced FOH/sound tech) missing compression in our sound, applying that compression and being satisfied when I couldn't hear the difference. "If you can hear a difference in tone then it's too much compression," she would say, I couldn't get my head around that. Thankfully I am acquainted with the excellent @Osiris, who spent a day demonstrating and educating me in the subtleties of compression, that lead to me understanding the subject a lot more and, eventually, to acquiring an optical compressor, much more suited to the type of music we play. Now I can't do without it, I notice when it isn't on and yet I'd still struggle, really struggle, to explain exactly what it's doing. I use a very expensive preamp and the Effectrode PC-2A Compressor, given the choice between the two I'd keep the compressor, the preamp is tech, that compressor has some kind of juju I can't do without.

This thread has become an absolute Chablis... Trying to think of another pun but I've drawn a blanc. Thnkyvrymch.

I am an outlier when it comes to railway enthusiasts as in I am ambivalent about steam, always have been since I became a railway enthusiast aged about nine. I'd be more interested in a Class 08 shunter than any of the great steam locomotives, horses for courses innit.

No competition, Deltic all the way.

Come on everyone, lets list our favourite shed felters. I'll start... Danny 'The Stuffer' Hobson.

Shed felters were they?

Oooohhh, collar felting now, quite the definitive felting compendium this thread.

A little out of column a), a little out of column b). Type D. ...and my arśe is a kipper.

First class advice. Textbook. @pete.young is clearly a force to be reckoned with when it comes to shed felting 👍

That was the case until the 2021 financing report that recommended, and I quote, Eels. Since then it’s been just the one form D27/3b - Application to Felch a Shed in an Uncontrolled Area. My dog knew that one and I don’t have a dog.

Felting a gazebo? This is Wantage not Rio Didgeridoo! Good grief man.

I'll be polling several Basschatters wives and partners this afternoon, we'll be keeping the results private, obviously. Should I ask them about how many bass players they know afterwards?

FTFY

I knew a bloke who got 18 months for shed felting, mind you, he didn't have the proper paperwork.

Likewise... Blimey, we're about as current as a sultana 🙄

Yes. They look deceptively slim.

That's not hard is it? We could all s*** on our hands and give ourselves a round of applause and we'd still be doing better than Talkbass.
