  1. There’s a lot of good material out there. Gary Willis’s Fingerboard Harmony is a good one, showing you how to practically apply a lot of this theory.
  2. Please don’t message me if you are seeking a Pedulla case. I’ll sort this somehow.
  3. We use this method on carpets and it’s proven to be very successful. I shall try it with this case too. Be a Shane to have to consign it to the scrap heap but I can imagine anyone else would want it like this.
  4. Thanks all
  5. I've recently picked up a Pedulla which is a lovely bass. Problem is that the case smells damp and musty. I'd normally just leave it in the sun for a few days, but this isn't an option (as I live in Bristol, not Bali). Does anyone have any foolproof and preferably non-messy methods to make it smell a bit nicer?
  6. I’m in the same quandary. My plan is to bully my whole family into contributing at Christmas.
  7. I still think Yamaha has never made a bad bass. I managed to try a John Myung bass (not my thing really) and it was amazing.
  8. Great pedals, amazing prices, super fast delivery. 100% recommended.
  9. Rush book gone! any offers for Vic? postage is £3.50 so anything on top of that is golden.
  10. I also found my local off license (lovely people!) are now accepting Royal Mail deliveries which has helped them improve turnover and saved me a 20 minute trip to the post office. For small items it’s a brilliant system.
  11. Here are some short books (16-20 pages approx) from two of the UK’s best educators. Partially in treble clef. £8 delivered
  12. Both books in basically new condition. Looking for £50 for both (which is what I paid)
  13. Any offers? I’d like to get these gone, and used by someone who wants them. Basically offer what you can!
  14. Personally I’ve found the new eBay way of working much easier to sell books and low value items. Postage being arranged is a good bonus, too.
  15. Bonkers prices for some brilliant pedals (I know because I bought one!)
  16. Utterly pointless to try and grade art and artists. Just sit back and enjoy.
  17. A lot of poverty is hidden, too. Poverty is vulnerability, isn't it? Unless there's a collective acknowledgement that we live in an incredibly unfair society, we can't move on. (This happened at the end of the Victorian period and post both world wars). Since then, all Governments have effectively spent their terms taking things away from us while telling us they had no choice doing so.
  18. You're absolutely bonkers. Here are some stats: https://www.jrf.org.uk/uk-poverty-2025-the-essential-guide-to-understanding-poverty-in-the-uk#:~:text=More than 1 in 5,adult poverty stayed the same. I'm just prepping for a board meeting at Citizens Advice and the stories of poverty we hear from the staff and volunteers are truly heartbreaking. I appreciate you like to act as an antagonist, but come on.
  19. Don’t believe loads of people are poor? Crikey.
  20. Nobody has come to any of my gigs since 2005, so I can't blame the current financial malaise for that. My problem isn't a lack of social interaction, it's having too much to do and not enough time. That's a conscious decision on my part to invest in friendships and do voluntary work.
  21. I think this is a generational thing. I’m currently doing a course at college where the average age is late 20s. I bring in my lunch and a flask of coffee whereas they all buy theirs and have multiple paid for drinks. Over the course of 17 weeks I reckon I’ll be £150 better off.
  22. Work well, sound good but ultimately replaced with a set of Seymour Duncan QPs. price of £15 includes delivery and screws
  23. It’s because we’re spoonfed lies by people who seem to know no better.
  24. Not as if he has a vested interest in treat in it or anything… AI has huge potential but the payoffs have yet to come.
