    It's amusing to talk to my children in their late teens early 20s. They weigh in kg, measure in metres, drive in miles, run in km, drink in pints and have no idea what inches or ounces are. I measure as above, except I estimate people in feet and inches, babies in pounds and basses in kg.

    I was irrationally excited to play Em in a song last March 😁

    YT will apply all sorts of compression and eq. If your license allows then livestream a reference track that you can compare to the original, both on typical laptop/TV speakers and the church PA. If needs be you might need a separate feed or mix to the stream with different eq.

    300 people allowed in church. Ah, those were the days!

    We will restart bands in November. The church is taking a very, very, cautious approach. Interesting responses from the different bands. One is desperate to get back in, play live warts and all. One wants to start with just a couple of members so that they can ensure they sound good live and streamed before they bring the rest in, and one leader just likes working in the studio and isn't in a hurry to get back. Frankly I want to be back playing, but it won't happen as I'm the person who has set up all the video and livestream, so until and unless I can hand that over I'll be behind the tech desks.

    I couldn't read the image above, but here's a link to the review with larger images: http://statii.com/status_cats/reviews/6/index.html GLWTS, sad that it's in current circumstances 😢

    Do we know anyone who grew the tree for the wood and smelted the steel for the strings?

    Oh my word...

    Congratulations on the baby! That colour looks much better on a musical instrument than it ever did on a car.

    How long is the queue? Is it long enough that if I join now and start saving, then I will be able to afford the bass at the end? A Milliways bass perhaps?

    Roger Waters. Played with Pink Floyd, tried to break up the band, failed, rejoined for the Live8 gig. Though we assume not as a full band member 😉

    The Squire is an very decent bass, as others have said. The Jag V12 also makes a wonderful noise 😀. Welcome aboard!

    Welcome aboard 😀 As a drummer and bassist, could you operate the kick and hi-hat with your feet while playing the bass? That would a) be awesome and b) make the band load-in much quicker. 😉

    Welcome aboard 😀 20 years in the garage, do basses age like wine I wonder? 🤔

    Actually it's a very clever system that lets you eq and pitch shift for every fret, thus ensuring perfect intonation regardless of tuning.

    That's cheered me up no end! Superb! Apart from the musicianship, she's clearly enjoying herself immensely, and Anthony Jackson's expression is just something else. Off to find more now, I have an afternoon of reading documents, so some classy music in the background will be good. Or a complete distraction.😁
  18. Richard R
    I agree with you on that!

    Routers seem to give rise to strong opinions for and against on the Build Diaries, so I figured a quick Vox Pop would be interesting to see what the majority think.

    That's a LOT of bass for a very reasonable price. GLWTS !

    If you could get white squares on the knobs it might be better than just round white knobs. If you can get square knobs that might be cool too. But it looks very good as it is 👍

    Just bought the 3CD+1DVD set on Amazon. I only needed to spend another £4 to get free postage on the cables I actually need, but what the heck! 😁

    Having been alerted by @Petey's reaction, I realised I had not reported back. Tut, tut. Well the short answer is that the fretboard looks better and feels nicer. My son used it on his bass and said the same thing, so we're both happy. One drop in each space between frets, gently rubbed in with a paper towel. One bottle will probably outlast me.

    Someone in eBay land has a got themselves a good bass there. Hope they enjoy it.

    Had never heard of this, but read about it in the biography of John Entwistle, so had a dig about the internet. It seems it was released on CD a couple of times but is now out of print and rare as hen's teeth. Haven't listened to all of it yet, but it's interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smash_Your_Head_Against_the_Wall
