... because if you are short of material, you can easily make it last 20 minutes with a sing-a-long.

Tell that to Skid Row.

All the other bands sounded fine, it must have been because The Exploited were headlining they were turned up. As it happens, far too much! Ask him about it, I'd be interested if he remembers! 😆

Deep Purple 2006 Milton Keynes Bowl. Ian Gillan was so obviously just going through the motions. The Exploited 1994 F**k Reading Festival, Brixton Academy. Worst sound I've ever heard at a gig. Far too loud, everything just sounded like an horrendously loud thud. Not sure what they were hearing on stage. Lots of jazz gigs when I was at college, where every single song (all instrumental) had the same format, song tune/solo/song tune/solo etc until everyone in the group had a solo 😖

Isn't there a song by Gerry and the Pacemakers that lot seem to like? 😉

In a previous band we used to play a pub which had a private car park which was locked after we loaded in, and was always packed for the band. But there were always fights (which were not limited to the men) and we always had to load out walking over broken glass. We stopped playing there.

He's still ripping people off https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2887916078041001&id=498200213679278&locale=en_GB

He's done tours where he played all of Dirk Wears White Sox.

Yup. Unless you know something I don't.

How many sheds should a shed felter felt, if a shed felter could felt sheds?

Dynamic pricing? 😉

With apologies to @Russ and @Franticsmurf

Have you seen the Oasis threads?... 😉

Yes. Snapdragon folding bass. Small footprint but capable of doing the job.

Among the faux outrage and virtue signalling, nobody seems to care about the infantilising language used in the topic title to describe the 26 year old woman. But by far the most important issue which has been missed is "is it any good for metal‽".

Criticise Adele at your peril on Basschat!

He must be forever young...

That's what I should have done to mine. If I had, I'd probably still have it

I had a black passive one when they first came out. Got rid because I play finger style, and the edge of the body painfully dug into my arm. I should have kept it and just buffed the edge to take the sharp corner off.

Hamer Blitz bass 💕

The bass bit of Wunjo Guitars in that London.

Having had an instructive evening with advice on technique and posture from @Silvia Bluejay and @Happy Jack I've been playing through the songs of the band I'm going to use it for. I'm not quite there yet, things I do naturally on regular bass I really have to think about, like muting. I'm developing a picking technique, mostly db plucking but using other fingers in a different way occasionally. My fingers no longer ache like they did after first playing it. Although tbh after a while I need to reset, as I feel it in the shoulders. Although it's regular bass length - 34" - all my bass are either mid or short scale, so I'm still finding my fretting hand technique. It's going back to the shop for a tweak as the internation is out, and I'll get advice on maybe lowering the action. Otherwise, still enjoying playing it, and I've been asked to join an acoustic jazz outfit, which also goes out as an instrumental group. So talk about running before you can walk! 😆
