Freddie is a monster player and has the talent and ability to shred. Obviously you won't hear that on a Whitney Houston song (etc) because for him that's not where the money is, but it doesn't mean he can't.

It could have been organised a bit better though... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj08rgp4g8ro

And I'll just leave this here...

Everyone back to Nancy Johnson's for the after-bash party! 😃 😜

Scooby Dobie Doo?

I saw them at Hyde Park 2007. Tbh was underwhelmed. They were a bit static, didn't really get the great showman bit from Tyler. His voice was ok though.

What I actually needed in a bass. Plus a zebra skin finish! 😆

I came to bass from classical guitar, so still use floating thumb, and also occasionally pluck with my thumb, but the first time I played a bass with a ramp it just felt right 😊

Ok. Shuker No1 was everything I wanted in a bass. Mid-scale, Thumbchum (combined ramp, pup cover, and thumb rest), bendwell; extended fret board, monkey grip, scalloped frets at the dusty end, pink LEDs that flash and pulse, and the highest outputting pup possible. But it is also couture, as the body has been resized for me and slightly widened at the bottom to fit how I hold and play the bass, and a slim fast neck. The low action and ramp mean some people find playing difficult, but for me it is glorious. It plays and sounds wonderful.

Near enough will do for me. Playability is the priority. Plus I'll be going through pedals so may want to get crazy at times 😉

Shirley that'd mean raising the B string by a semitone? 😜

A lot of muso's have sold their music catalogues. The companies who bought the rights will be wanting to exploit and monetize them, so aggressive marketing and 'incentives' may have been used? -
I'm gassing for an EUB and the Ibanez UB804 seems to be ticking all the boxes. I want something I can pluck and bow, which is versatile with the sound (db or bass guitar). The shorter scale length appeals. And as I often take public transport to gigs, not having a bridge that will get knocked is plus. Is there anything else I should be looking at that meets the criteria?

I don't think you have understood. The only bands that are in the Hit Parade were formed before the year 2000. So what generation is that? But to answer your question, yes I was.
-
This week, in the Hit Parade for both albums and singles, there are no bands who were formed in this century 😲 https://www.facebook.com/restisentertainment/videos/1248256536344708/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v

Are you going to put something soft on the floor too, to avoid chipping the bottom of your basses?
-
Just wondering if anyone who has objections to buying from Amazon has done anything about it? Maybe advocated for policy changes, by contacting local representatives and expressing concerns about corporate tax avoidance and worker treatment? Or supported campaigns and petitions, and maybe donated to or volunteer with organizations like Tax Justice UK or Fair Tax Foundation that work to promote fair taxation and corporate accountability?

Do they still have the outdoor stage?
-
Not sure if it's there anymore, but in Southampton there was a pub called The Hobbit, which had a mini pyramid stage outside at the back. I always thought that would have been a great place to play. I only ever saw bands play inside.
