That's cool, having a picture of your rig on the backdrop 😉

Well, a shot in the dark, is one step away from you, while a walk in the park, is a step in the dark, and it's the things that you do, that will make me feel alright. Hope that helps 😜

Favourite female bass player?

I wouldn't mind my expectations being exceeded in that way! 😆

Talking of Sting, he neither wrote nor played the main riff to Every Breath You Take, yet he earns around £2k a week from it, while Andy Summers doesn't.

Not sure why Sting would be surprised, he's credited as a songwriter.

Unfairly maligned is Richard Rowe, apparently Epstein made up the infamous quote. I'm sure I remember one of The Beatles saying he was probably right not to sign them, based on that one particular audition? Anyway he went on to sign The 'Stones so not all bad.

"The bítch on Bass" Rockbitch. Played a fretless and did an amazing slap bass solo on it. I'd post a picture but I don't want Rockbitch on my search history at work! 😂

My Dad wasn't in The Applejacks 😃 I'm sure many Basschaters Dad's were also not in The Applejack's, but mine was once out with them, and when fans started to ask for autographs they asked him too, and the band told him to sign them 😂

But the Squiers in 1980 were Japanese made (with a Fender logo) and by all accounts just as good or better than the USA Fenders.

Are Bono and The Edge still on the Fender board? If so they must have had some input into this?

Stepping into Joey Vera's shoes, not an easy gig!

I liked Share Penderson back in the day. Admired her bass playing too

UK made now 🙂

Covid

Maybe that's why their record sales were never particularly high, but they managed to do big gigs and tours?

Stu sold me an Ashdown miBass 550w. Excellent transaction throughout and it was mightily well packed! Would happily buy from him again and can heartily recommend. Cheers Stu! 😁

So as per the title, is it a Lull? (but with a different body and neck (and hardware (and electronics))). 😜

Which band? 😃

Billy Sheehan was in UFO in 1983 but only as a touring member. It would be interesting to hear live recordings from that tour.

Start by asking yourself why someone should give their money to you, instead of any other bass teacher. What are you going to do that they can't get for free off the YouTube? Do you have any extra relevant knowledge that can be applied: Alexander Technique for example? Also factor in time to develop and update lesson plans in addition to your travelling time. Good luck!

What amp was it? Asking for a friend...

This has been tucked away as aesthetically it didn't really suit the depping gigs I've just done for a Soul band 😁

Sorry, One 4 ohm cab = how many ohms?

It's an amp in the for sale thread. An Ashdown. If I can get the full whack from one cable I'll buy it, but I didn't want to influence anyone else buying just because it possibly doesn't do what I want.
