I play German. When I was in my late teens it was a HUGELY important topic. Now I could not care less. The only important thing about bowing is the fact that the more expensive the bow, the easier it is to play. We kid ourselves this is the same with Bass Guitars. That is not true. Any decently set up Bass Guitar will be just fine and dandy. Sure, we all have slightly different preferences, but they are just planks with metal in them. Playing with a really good bow is bonkers. Everything just works. Sadly, when I say a really good bow I mean north of £5K and probably north of £10K. Yes, there are plenty of good bows around for less, but once you have played with a really good one, everthing else is a bit of a let down. Just for reference, I do not have a really good bow.

If you live in North Wales and speak Welsh, this is side spilttingly funny. Otherwise, not so much.

Monster, monster electronics. In a good way.

I have a Shuker Uberhorn. To my eye it is the best possible new take on that offset style we all love.

Mono Neon is go!

https://m.facebook.com/Retro169/ He has done 4 jobs for me. He does very fine work and his prices are keen.

My sister (GP) looked at it and said "It could be one of several things, but is prob a ganglion. Suck it up, it is too small to do anything with at the moment. It will either sort itself out or get big enough to get invasive."

I cannot deny, this makes me sad.

Some guys have all the luck.

Pretty subtle, huh?

I belive there is an exceptional Bravewood Jazz on the FS forum.

Just beautiful!

Thanks. As is the nature of these things, the GAS is les fierce after a couple of days, but I am still tempted.

Steve Slate did let you have a couple of kits for nowt. He emails you alot, but that is cheap at the price.

I sometimes feel like that as well. Not often though. Actually, not ever.

I feel myself being drawn into fretless world. Again. It will end badly, but it is what it is. I was watching Juila Hofer doing some Pino stuff and the MM Sire V7 Alder-5 FL BK 2nd Gen she is using looks to me like a coated board. Does anyone have any experience of this?

I'll be the parade, you can be my rain

It could become a Basschat-ism!

SBCTR-line. It has a certain ring to it, no?

100%. But to have an amp which will do what is needed in a smaller room situation without FOH support is where it is at. I do not believe that a 10" wedge will deal with an enthusiastic drummer if that is the only amplification for bass in the room.

I have a QSC K10.2. It is a very capable cab. Would it fight with a drummer? As a monitor? Yes. As backline? No.
