The fan is surprisingly loud. Can't imagine it's an issue at a gig though. Sounds great 😸

Then I do not RC.

Richard Searle, bassist from Corduroy, was guest at the 2018 SE Bass Bash. IIRC he didn't want to talk about his days in Doctor and the Medics.

"Sports teams like the Yankees and Arsenal do not claim to be the same as their historic counterparts, such as the Yankees of the 1998 World Series or Arsenal's 1970-71 double-winning team. They represent the franchise's ongoing legacy rather than reenacting past achievements. In contrast, a band with one original member performing the original hits might give the impression of recreating past performances rather than representing a continuous legacy. Bands often build their identity around their founding members and original lineup, which significantly contributes to their creative output and public image. When only one original member remains, the band's identity may feel more like a tribute act rather than a continuation of the original entity."

Which is what I meant. Original post edited admitting I'm a numpty 😖

First rehearsal using it with the band last night. Got some comments when the band mates noticed it wasn't a bass guitar, which took longer than you might have thought 😆 So looks wise it got the thumbs up. I had it on its db setting, the BL said the sound fitted the band really well (Americana). I must be doing something right because my fingers feel fine today - both hands. I'm using predominantly db picking with occasional variations. Because of the 34" scale, it's my usual 1 finger per fret technique. Still loving playing it 🤩

Initially beset by transport issues. Severe delays on the tube, and a traffic accident causing tailbacks meant we lost an hour of rehearsal time. However it was my first rehearsal with my Ibanez UB804, and it was glorious 😁

Boss PW-10. Basically a multi FX in a wah pedal. I'd wanted one since they came out 20 years ago. It's still an amazing piece of kit. But I have no practical use for it whatsoever 😆

Hi all, I'm in your gang now! 😁 I just need a jack to speakon. Any recommendations?

As you say, worst is relative. I bought an FX pedal I have absolutely no practical use for, purely because I really wanted one when they came out 20 years ago. Best. Ibanez UB804, an EUB. My first upright. Loving it! 😍

I do like a sparkly bass 🤩

Find out what happens after the course as well as during it. I don't know what the figures are now, but a couple of years before lockdown some of these music colleges had really low graduate employment rates.

I've recently got an EUB. Fretless, but with fret markers where the fret would be. I feel your pain .

5 minutes‽ Whenever I've played it, it's never lasted less than 10 minutes! 😆

It's not inclusive.

Inclusion. It's a whole new world.

FWB Friends with benefits. CNM Consensual non monogamy. ENM Ethical non monogamy.

Did you just read what I posted, in which case it might seem out of context, or did you also read what I replied to?

Well if that's the name of the game, there's nothing stopping bassists being monogamish, polyamorous, part of a throuple or poly-fidelity, FWBs, or having CNM or ENM, or relationship anarchy, or being Queer Platonic, co-parenting, or chosen family.

I don't listen to disco, but I like playing Bernard's bass lines.

Has the bassist changed? He's a member here.
