Yup. If that came on a sub £200 bass I'd still send it back. Let alone a Lakeland.

I think it's "out of". Not for me I'm afraid. It's too jazz. By which I mean, to my ear the timing is all over the place. Which might be really clever, as I am assured, is jazz. But my brain just can't process it. To me it just sounds wrong. Maybe I'm just a heathen. 😆

Yes. In summer I sweat when I'm playing. In winter I wear a jumper.

Excellent! I bet that's gonna be a great buzz.

It seems to be common running through this thread that the snobbery is against anything other than Fenders. In that case I'm more than happy to be looked down on. I'd rather plan an elastic band than a Fender.

I've got the Harley Benton Airborn Pro, as does my guitarist. We both use then both for practice and gigging and I can't fault it at all for the money.

Indeed, and if there was ever any doubt, the machine head at a "jaunty" angle confirmed it.

I find the whole thing a bit silly to be honest. It's probably the same sort of people who complain about clip on tuners being left on during gigs. Who gives a sh#t? At long as the audience and band are enjoying it, you could have a full set of Encyclopedia Britannica on stage for all I care.

I watched the first two last night. I quite enjoyed them. The Sex Pistols were way before my time, but I was aware of them by the time I got to my teens, and of course played the almost compulsory for any young rock covers band, Anarchy in the UK. I know absolutely nothing about Steve whatshisface who's memoirs it's based on, so it's interesting as a stand alone drama. I'm not sure how accurate it is, and I'm not sure I really care. So far it's a decent watch, and the guy playing Johnny had me in stitches. He's got the mannerisms down to a T.

Our good friend Mr Phillips again. 🙄

If those are the rules i can't work out how I'm in a band. 😆

Sounds like a much better candidate. Fingers crossed for you.

I'm equally as happy the other way around. If someone isn't the greatest musician, but they're a good fit socially for the band, and they're willing to work. That's good enough for me.

I have the same thing when I get to certain song parts. I think I'm going to c@ck it up, so the anxiety builds the closer I get to the part, then by the time I actually get there is almost inevitable I'm going to mess it up because the nervous energy has risen to such a high, that playing anything is almost impossible.

I thought I was going insane for a while there. Why are there six tuners on a 5 string bass? Took me ages to figure out one of them was a shadow on the wall behind. 😆

Same with Velvet Revolver. Basically GnR without Axl. Scott Weiland was utter dross and totally let down the band imo.

Knocking over the guitars gets a standing ovation for best song of the night.

Very tenuous. He must be short of cash. Other than the title, they have absolutely nothing in common.

You people are crazy. 😆

Probably fit in perfectly at a jazz gig. How would anyone know the difference?

One of the greatest vocalists of all time for me. I mean, the bloke was an absolute not job, but a superb vocal range.

Sadly this is not unusual. I worked the doors for about 6 years and had to deal with people like this on a nightly basis. It's one of the reasons I won't do night time pub / club gigs now. I'm afraid there's absolutely no way I could keep my cool and deal with the situation as diplomatically as you did. Well played. 👍

I think you may have missed the joke, but yes indeed. Still one of my favourite bands of all time. Their first album still ranks as one of the greatest debut albums ever released for me, almost (but not quite) up there with Appetite For Destruction.

There's a thread on here entitled. "Rap. No, it doesn't start with a C". I'd happily remove the '''nt" from that title.

Mojo and heft. What more do you want from a cab? 😆
