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? 😜

" I have heard there's good money to be made down the docks. Doing favours for sailors".

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.

A weird thing that happened, the guitarist was playing a semi acoustic through a pedal board. When he kicked on his fuzz pedal, it distorted the bass too.

Royal Blues, at The King & Queen, in Fitzrovia. Acoustic night, drummer played a Cajon. It was still a tight squeeze on stage, our line up is vox, bass, guitar, drummer, and 3 backing vox. It went really well, people were surprised when told it was the first gig for the band. Gear for me, Rob Allen Mouse, Swiff Audio wireless, into the house bands mini Markbass combo which fed into the PA.

I'll be expecting a build thread 😉

Which one?

Has a bit of a Wal vibe too.

And there are a couple of others (not including the animated series) that no-one has heard of 😆

So was Laverne and Shirley.

Sassenach porridge! All you need is oats, water and a pinch of salt. 🤤

That's got to be the furthest distance between band and audience I've seen 🤣

Donington 1988 😟
