Welcome aboard! Lots of Brummies, Silhilllians, and Midlanders on this forum. There isn't a "find a basschatter by postcode" search (thank goodness), but we're about. Try to get to the next Midlands Bass Bash if you can (see the Events forum). And enjoy yourself, I started aged 50-ish too. 😎

You got off lightly! I had to wander all around church following a 3 year old in a star costume while I was dressed like this:

I've been listening to a lot of 70' and early 80's electronica over the last few months. Tomita, Vangelis,Jarre. All superb stuff. -

Mamma-Mia 2, which I am not watching but other are. The aural equivalent of passive vaping. -
Just got in from Carols By Headlights, organised by Olton Baptist Church in Solihull. Great band, playing from a trailer with a proper event PA and broadcast on local FM to the car radios. Good bass mix too.

Welcome back!

Given that Bach was a fugueing genius it is far more likely that any riff any of us ever write, he already had. Which is sad in a way, but solves any future copyright infringement cases.

Bible on the phone, the Mixing Station app for IEM if I'm playing. If I am running the livestream then the phone is on silent but available for texts from whoever is monitoring YouTube. We used to get texts when we started, but virtually never now as we're more experienced. Mixing Station works with our Qu32.

Our church went straight back to masks on unless you are speaking from the front or singing. While the guidelines allow the congregation to take masks off to sing, nobody did except those leading from the front. Singing with a mask on is odd, because when you try to take a deep breath the mask pulls in and restricts the air flow, but it was fine.

No idea why this is in introductions, but everyone is welcome, even those with big feet. And you know what the women say about men with big feet 😉

12,000!! That's like polishing with a fairy's breath!

An Oscar-worthy acceptance speech. However the competition isn't over yet- we may find someone who only bought a set of new strings despite marrying an heiress and winning the lottery.

Could I have a jazz body with the first five of the top row as diagonal stripes please? Maple neck with the headstock in the pale brown 👍

Watching with interest. The workshop looks fab!

Yet another new bass player, (midlife crisis maybe)

Welcome aboard!! Lots of very supportive people here, and has already been said - not just for bass- related stuff. -
Welcome aboard! Huge choice of basses at or below £300 new, even more 2nd hand. Play a few Yamaha, Ibanez and see what you like. What feels right in your hands matters. And welcome to a fab hobby.

Welcome aboard! If you're playing 5 string then most of the time you can stick around the 5th fret and work across the fretboard. The stretches aren't as much as up by the nut either.

Welcome aboard! Repairs and Build Diaries, huge fund of useful information and helpful people 👍

The Dee Gees. Foo Fighters disco album, which is way better than it has any right to be. -
Yep, you already fit right it - and we thought they didn't understand sarcasm in the US 😉 Welcome aboard

Welcome aboard! Lots of church bass players here, often trying to smuggle funky bass lines into Hillsong.. 😉
