It was funnier the first time. 😉

It's so small I can't see it. (Why do I get the feeling I've said that before somewhere?)

I love it when that happens. I walked into practice a couple of weeks ago and said "I've got this bass riff going through my head. It's kind of surf rock meets The B52's". Then started playing the riff. The rest of the band joint in, including the singer with some ad-lib lyrics and it was exactly what I had in my head. I'm still constantly amazed by being able to create music with other people.

What's a Snarky Puppy?

But it only plays Bach.

It's not about the sound so much as the feel and longevity. A real set of Elixirs will last 5 times longer than uncoated strings and your fingers will thank you for it.

PM incoming.

I've been using the Harley Benton Airborne pro for about 2 years now for every gig and practice and it's worked flawlessly. Can't go wrong at the price. Also has the additional benefit of a built in tuner to save space on the pedal board. It actually works better than the tuner on my zoom B3. https://www.thomann.de/intl/harley_benton_airborne_pro_5.8ghz_instrument.htm?i11l=en_GB%3ABG.GBP%3AEUR

To be honest. The first part of the scale sounds far more appealing. Might go a bit mad and put pineapple on. That's enough adventure for me.

Not unless I'm posting them publicly. I always upload them privately to YouTube first so I can watch / listen to them on the telly with a decent sound system.

That looks great. If only they'd given it WiFi connectivity it would be perfect. Having to mess about plugging into a computer and transferring files before being able to upload is a deal breaker for me. Looks like I'll be continuing to use my phone for now.

Only by the bailiffs.

I have an Eko acoustic guitar with bolt on neck. It's a lovely bit of wood. I never thought about modifying it into an acoustic bass. Might have to look into it.

Do we have to?

Following with interest. I wouldn't mind having a crack at this with one of the Harley Benton Rick "tributes".

Ours does. Unfortunately it's my wife so I still get to carry it.

Very cool!

Oh the irony. If you don't like my post. Just move along. And you're wrong about me being wrong. Opinions are never wrong. They're just opinions. To you (and probably many others) Jaco might be the best bass player on earth. To me it just sounds like a load of utterly pretentious noodly crap.

Following. I've often wondered the same thing and considered buying one.

Can't help you I'm afraid. Everything I've ever heard Jaco play sounds like a bunch of random notes with zero musicality to me.

They're pretty good for the money. I've had mine a couple of years now. I use it for every practice and gig with zero issues.

Ah. There in lies the rub. If you're in it for the money then you should absolutely be expected to play anything. For me though that all changes when (as in my case) it's just a hobby. Why should I spend my valuable leisure time learning and playing a song I can't stand. If it's not enjoyable, I'm not doing it. Simple as that. Not really an issue any more as I'm no longer in a covers band. But this was certainly a bone of contention when I was.

Definitely not a browser issue. The mobile site does exactly the same thing. It's really annoying.

He also has a Breville sandwich toaster up for £150. Utterly delusional!

Dirt cheap. Half the price of the original listing a year ago. 🙄
