Never fails to raise a smile that one. Only the gentle swaying of the cymbals convinces me they haven't sped the film up. 😁 And annoying as the others may be, they are still better drummers than I am.

Was that underappreciated when it came out?? One of the best albums ever, I practically wore my copy out! Not a duff track on it and you can hear the fun they are all having. Plus you get to hear one of the all time finest vocalists in pop - Roy Orbison - singing with one of the worst ever - Bob Dylan 😅

Ramblers Welcome! Lace up your talking boots, then pull up a chair, sit down and join us. 🥾🍺🎸🎵

Camel - Stationary Traveller. Just superb Rick Wakeman - 1984. Wakeman doesn't like it. Tim Rice wrote the lyrics but his name is teenyweeny on the sleeve and I dont think he's a fan.But Chaka Khan's vocals on Robot Man and Julia are stunning. U2 - Songs of Innocence. Overshadowed by the iTunes delivery fiasco, but has some heartfelt songs.p Pink Floyd - The Final Cut. Not the CD issue with "When the tigers broke free" shoehorned into side one badly. But the rest of the album isn't bad, and The Gunner's Dream is one of those songs I wish I could write.

Welcome aboard! Sounds like you need to trawl the market place to see who sold what to who and when, and post in the Wanted section. While you're here, join in the chat, we're all friendly.

Welcome aboard! It's funny what instruments you just click with, or not, and can't really explain why. Glad you like the Mikro, they have a great reputation.

Until you posted that you were 😅

Welcome aboard! I started same age as you, and three years on am now tolerable, at least at playing the bass. I always recommend StudyBass.com. It's not shouty, is completely free, and makes sure you understand the basics, like how not to wreck your back and wrists, tuning and setup, and theory. Scotts Bass Lessons is excellent value for money as well, at about £80 per year I've kept my subscription running. He is a bit enthusiastic, so get going first, then take the free trial in a couple of months. After that, play what you like, learn to play the bass you have and stay away from the marketplace! 😁

I was hoping this was about Indian cookery using spinach.

"Rusty Worship for The Eternal Lord"- sounds like an album from Rend Collective 😁 That apart, it will be great. It is very strange with no congregation singing, but live worship is still the best and you should enjoy it. I'm hoping to play in a fortnight 🤞

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard! Tuba and bass - you're not secretly Herbie Flowers are you? 🤔

Welcome aboard

Welcome again! Hopefully the Midlands Bass Bash will be on in the autumn and you can join us then. See the Events forum for date and place.

It's like practicing at home rather than playing a gig. The difference being that your practicing results in something useful...

Of course! Hence the only Allen keys that fitted my bass being rusted old ones in the box from my father's garage!

Welcome aboard! Make yourself at home, you'll fit right in! 😁

If it says "Buy me more friends", then I suggest you put it down and step away from the BassChat marketplace before things get even more expensive! Other than that, Welcome Aboard! 😀

Welcome aboard! Can we call you Bruce, just to make life simpler?

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard!

Just tried a quick experiment with the only piece of cloth I had around, which is a facemask. I don't think this is going to help me, or the OP:

Oh, you mean practice.😄
