fleabag

I have the fretless SRH500f and it's lighter than my bedroom slippers. My scales are industrial packing scales, so pretty accurate. I weighed the bass, and realised i'd left the rather hefty 4 inch leather strap on, so weighed the strap separately. Bass with strap - 3.1 kg Strap - 0.35 kg So the bass actually weighs 2.75 kg ...or in old money, 6.05 Lbs

Sorry, no Paypal Goods and Services. Too many scams around. Ironic He has an email address, if anyone has been scammed should be interested

Not correct - i think the giggle pin has fallen out of the larf shaft causing the twin back sprocket to spin freely

I dont seem to be having these notification problems. I'm getting emails regarding PM's and also the PM notification at the top and also any that regard quotes and followed threads. Just for the record, i dont use a moblie. It's laptop, Win 10, Firefox, default white theme.

I cant stand either country or western

It's a funny old world. I've been in all male bands, and a couple with a female/females. It doesnt matter to me either way. I've no problem with an all female band only wanting female members and the same with the men wanting only men. It just depends on the reasons for it. I was in a 5 piece back a few years, and we had a string of singers , including one woman. Things got weird at one rehearsal when she refused to sing certain lyrics in a Black Crowes song, Hard To Handle. Those words being "That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin' " and also " That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin' " Then she sits on the floor crossed legged like in meditation, and started sulking. Bit strange. We had to let her go, but then we let 3 different male singers go for other reasons. At least the woman could sing. As could our bloke singer from India. We had some trouble with a nutter in the audience at one gig, which scared him. It didnt bother anyone else, because we had enough big scary blokes in the band already, and we made it clear to the unruly geezer, but our singer quit. One bloke we sacked because he hadnt rehearsed, turned up at a gig, and forgot the words to the first track. LL told us not to come back if he was still in the band. I wouldn't be comfortable in some monstrously macho band. Then again, i'm sure there are some equivalent female bands that could tear it up in the same fashion, just that i believe there to be less of them than toxic male bands. The female band L7 springs to mind.

Vague at this point. Plenty of women out there that can fill a spot in that type of band, but we dont know why the ' no women ' as yet. It's certainly nothing to do with touring, going by his ad. Bedroom musician right now, so it seems, till he has more members. I'm guessing he's old school attitude at this point, and simply wont entertain a female in his supergroup. Bit myopic to say the least, if indeed that is his reasoning

There are a few acceptable reasons why it would be " we dont want women in the band " and the legitmate reasons have been stated here, so no need to go gung ho PC yet. Ask, and then be offended afterwards or not, as the case maybe. When myself and a friend started a funk band , us lads tried to be the vocalists and we were pretty awful. We ended up with 3 extra members, all female, who took on the job of main vocals and 2 backing vocals, and it made the band. We were lucky to have them join.

The easiest way to sort this till ped changes the rubber bands is to just refresh the page yourself manually after you've made a post

Those Just-A-Nut things or whatever they'e called by Warwick are excellent. But cliff dammit, that price ! No.

I had an even more brutal method
