You were in the Wiggles? 🙂

VAT is after the Duty so the actual increase will be 30% on a 25% increase.

Cast your mind back to covid and the lack of processesors for amps. I suspect they'll get 10% going into the US and maybe 25% coming into another country. Maybe the UK eventually.

Wasn't Robin Bibi by any chance?

I played a biker festival in Germany, and the support act was a female stripper. Rather awkward when she walked offstage and past us. "Great set" didn't really seem right (or maybe it was). Worst part (for a shy retiring type) was, when we finished. The audience were howling for an encore (from her) and we had to pack up as she gyrated around us.

Rosalyn by the Pretty Things. Has the bonus of having a founding member of the Stones on it.

Playing the Royal Hall at Harrogate. Dressing rooms were downstairs. Come showtime and we were wandering around without any idea how to get to the stage. We didn't pass anyone painting scenery but everything else was the same.

The SKB FB4 is pretty much the same case. A much better fit for a Precision bass.

Might make it better for metal. 😄

Great. Let's see if we can make that happen.

The Diesel 2x15 is an amazing cab. Was the mainstay of my sound for 30 years or so. Are you collecting? You're not far from me if you are.

Bought 3 John Entwistle Precisions ('53, '61 and '62), and a '66 slab in there, in the mid 80's.

What horrible news, and what lovely words from his sister. Condolences will be pretty meaningless to his family but they are all I can offer at this dreadful time for them.

May I ask whereabouts he lives? I can share locally if there's any chance he's in this area (Portsmouth).

Deleted. Responding to an older post (and didn't notice!!).

I have to say, I never keep hold of Fender type cases. Basses can move around in them freely.

That was the driver for me. I wanted to feel comfortable on stage. You can't beat nature and so it's a matter of finding the right way to 'go with the flow'. Bigger/luminous side markers work fine for me.

Do you have a budget?

Hi knowledgeable folk. I want to replace the Lace Sensor in my PBAC fretless, but have no idea what wire goes where. Can anyone give any indication about how I can swap these pickups?

Would a light mild work as well, or maybe a stout?

Thanks for the link. Do you add the blob of clear nail varnish too? I didn't use these when I was looking, fearing that they'd just come off over time.

I have gone down the larger dot and Luminlay markers routes. I've been playing for 50 years but still find myself slightly panicking if I glance down and don't see the dots.

Steve Harris seems to manage ok. That said, each to their own. Everybody's preference is the right choice for them.
