Bass Guitar Magazine did a round up of 'best' hard cases at various price points recently (it was the one with Chris Childs on the front). Of them all, this one caught my eye for its practicability https://www.skbcases.com/music/products/proddetail.php?f=&id=13&o=&offset=&c=84&s=75

I was a massive Clapton and Cream fan back in the 70s, but I’ve never liked GB as a drummer and recently even less as a person.

DI the Flightcase into the PA and use the Flightcase for monitoring?

😱 This is surely the beginning of the end of days (bass days at least). EDIT: this is not not meant sarcastically BTW.

Ultimately, does any form of music have to 'say' anything? Giving pleasure/provoking an emotional response should be enough. Rock used to have 'something to say' when it was new, brash and anti-establishment, but the passing of time has made it part of our culture and, therefore, makes it more difficult for it to shock or be confrontational (but not impossible). There's plenty of new stuff out there and my gauge is whether I like it musically, not whether it has 'something to say'. YMMV.

Have a hot bath.

Perhaps it’s cold.

P bass pickups? Splitters!

We already got one, it’s a very nice. Whispering - I told him we already got one, snigger, snigger.

Seems like Roger Daltrey was saying this last year. Perhaps it’s those who actually have nothing left to say who spout this old chestnut.

The Seymour Duncan SPB-1 or the hotter 1/4 pounder will give you that less honky, mid scoop you’re looking for (I’ve had the SPB-1 in the past, it was nice, currently £75 from Anderton’s I think). Here’s a link to the SD P bass page which has sound samples https://www.seymourduncan.com/pickups/bass/p-bass?__uuid_ref=5c916f848af0d

I did when I had one. I had to modify the replacement to fit (craft knife and nail file). EDIT: Use the original as the template.

I voted nickel. However, as I now use EB cobalts on my basses, this is only true if cobalts didn't exist.

I really like the theme tune to Casino Royale and Chris Cornell’s vocals on it are brilliant. However, the orchestration doesn’t make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up the way Barry’s strings on OHMS does.

Yamaha BB300 and an H&H Bass Baby.

👏👏👏

I find vegetable oil is very good at removing sticker residue.

It is fact the measure of how much GAS pressure you have 😉.

I do not need another PJB product, I do not need another PJB product. 😬

Mmm, magic beans.

Likewise. I also found Jerry Cornelius very entertaining, if often confusing.

Thread derail - I have many fond memories of reading the Eternal Champion series. As you were.
