Burns-bass

Also there’s a jack socket and a couple of strap buttons too.

Free. Send me a few quid for postage! Can pack up and send ASAP.

Haha, I know - it’s funny. I found the same, the booking fees are incredible sometimes!

Better than £38 though!

Buy them here at the proper price... https://www.ticketweb.uk/event/cory-wong-swx-tickets/9483635?REFERRAL_ID=tmfeed

It seems you might be buying it on a reseller site? When I looked at tickets for a friend they were £18.50 plus booking.

That is exquisite.

Just Pizz. What you’re experiencing is common. I’d say that when a pro looks at it and does the work we’ve all had done the bass will sing. They really are lovely.

Snap! I had exactly the same work done by Martin Penning.

I had this issue and it was a poorly shaped and fitted bridge. The legend that is Martin Penning sorted it, and the bass now sings (or rather it would of it wasn’t hidden away in my spare room to stop the kids destroying it).

Or they’ll assume you’re the Blues Brothers pretending to be the Good ole Boys and you’ll be fine. Rawhide!

That's a shame. I bought a bass from Barry Matthews about 20 years ago. It was a late 60s Jazz body with a 65 neck which was played by John Entwistle. I had all the pictures to support its provenance. Sold it when I gave up playing in 2008. Shame. Would love to see Barry's 66, but the link doesn't seem to work.

That's why I said your advice was better than mine 🙂 I just turned up and played the songs (badly).

This is much better advice than mine.

The songs are your intellectual property, so by that token they're protected whether you register with the PRS or not. If Ed Sheeran decided to nick a chorus, you'd be able to prove that he'd stolen it from you and take him to court for it. If you feel this could happen, then sign up for the MU who offer legal protection. When it comes to royalties, PRS can claim these for you if your songs get played. To generate anything like a few pence, they'll need to be played thousands of times. Having had these conversations before in bands (once when Vodafone nearly used one of our songs for an advert*) the classic response to this is, 0 spilt 10 ways is still 0. Personally, I'd only consider registering with the PRS if there's the possibility your song will receive airplay on the radio, TV or be featured in an advert or whatever. Until that point, I'd consider it a generous gift to the universe. (*Vodafone didn't use the song and the German label we were signed to sent us back thousands of unsold copies of the album which still remain festering in locations throughout the UK.)

It certainly is. I imagine my daughters (1 and 3) would find it frightening!

Gone, sorry!
