This absolutely should not work, but is awesome:

Vim Fuego : I could play "Stairway To Heaven" when I was 12. Jimmy Page didn't actually write it until he was 22. I think that says quite a lot.

I disagree with the 'i could never play like that' sentiment. If you were willing to practice 6 hours a day, and knew what to practice, in a year's time you'd be pretty close (figures may vary for the individual).

The Lee Aaron I remember fondly from my teenage years? 😮

£29.50 plus booking fee?

They actually told you, rather than ghosting you. You haven't lost any money. None of your gear has been stolen. Take the win!

I liked his Lado signature.

Oi oi!

Can you post some of your settings? 😀

And stomach flatter! 😆

2008ish.

Back in the day I had a Carvin guitar amp. Nothing to do with Lita Ford endorsing them ☺️ Sounded great. Very good for (old school) metal.

They don't seem to hold their value second hand, which is great for the buyer because they are great basses. I had a BB 5 string, can't remember the exact model, I liked the feel and could get such a wide variety of tones from it. This is the only pic I can find of me playing it.

@Dennis Finch wot he said ^^^ 😉

They ended up with a drummer.

I have a guitar which has an Epiphone Custom Shop stamp on it. But it's still made in Korea. Great guitar though.

Update. I've purchased an EHX Mono Bass Synth pedal (in fact the one mentioned by Hen barn above). Having had a fiddle at bedroom levels, there are a couple of sounds I really like. It has presets, which is incredibly useful, and although glitchy, not as glitchy as some pedals. Possibly my technique doesn't help, but the longer I played, the less glitchy it got.

The EHX Mono Bass Synth pedal, also has presets.

Does this also mean it also doesn't do 80's keyboard bass sounds?

I was working all the way through lockdown, so the whole furloughed boozing in the back garden thing didn't apply to me. The only time I drink is when I'm gigging (and obviously not driving), or seeing bands, so as that wasn't happening I wasn't drinking and my alcohol tolerance has now severely diminished.

Fate Gear, one of the better Japanese Steampunk bands IMO.

IMO the only time this has worked, is when Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé's Barcelona album was rerecorded - after Freddie had died - with an orchestra.

I've seen a bass, where the owner had moved the bridge further down, to make the longer strings fit better 😖
