I'm pretty sure @Geek99 must have owned an amp at some point. If he has previously sold it to keep the wolf from the door (or the enforcers from the church mice loan company at bay), but is now able to replace it and eat as well then I say he is out, but would allow him to remain in, prioritising mercy over justice.

That has just arrived at the start of a long, slightly tedious, teams meeting. I must resist reading it, as otherwise I will miss the one solitary relevant sentence in the next three hours, and I have no idea when it will be or what it will be!

That's where I would point the mic for a double bass on stage, probably a foot or so back and either pointing at the sound post or somewhere north of it, depending on how much bow/finger noise there was. We had a DB at church once or twice, when one of the youth played one. He's moved on to play electric in jazz ensembles and DB with one of the big orchestras.

It would be interesting to know when that data was compiled, and the ages of the people surveyed. All the young people (<30) I know seem to be huge fans of 1980s music.
-
Sad to hear when anyone leaves a church. Hopefully over time they will take leading worship more seriously, and you will settle into your new home.

I spoke to the lad and he said it's way above his capabilities and wouldn't get used properly, so it should go to a better home. @songofthewind
-
Definitely interested - they are great units and I know a kid who would make very good use of it. I'll check with him - but if someone pips me to it in the meantime then so be it.

Where in West Oxfordshire?
-
That is priceless!

Fabulous live band. Saw them a while back, and seeing them again 18th June in Brum. Rocking out and enjoying themselves. Far and away the BEST quality sound I have every heard - not just live sound but better than any HiFi or anything. Crystal clear, at concert volume.
-
I should have got tickets for that! 🤦♂️

I would let him/her use my bass, provided they did not have a large buckle. If they did then that would have to come off or shirt untucked. But I would also have a quiet word with them afterwards and say that it is VERY bad manners to assume you can play someone else's instrument. I would also quietly enjoy watching them try to play a 35" 5 string..
-
Welcome back! 🥳 Definitely 5 strings is the way to go - and if it isn't then you can carry on making a groovy racket with 4. Who cares as long as you're having fun?🤘

What are you listening to right now?

Made me smile too, but it ends too early; we need to hear the band kick in! -
Welcome aboard! That would be an exciting souvenir! Maybe post a question on the General Discussion forum saying where in the UK you will be and asking what the best shops near there are? Good luck, and enjoy the holiday in the UK. Apologies in advance for the weather. It will probably rain.
-
Welcome aboard! I can never read the name Pennsylvania without mentally adding a shout of "6-5000" at then end of it. I'm way too young to have that stuck in my head! What do you play? I'm guessing Stingray?

I have just found this excellent short podcast series on BBC Sounds: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0hr4zmc It's called "Song Exploder", where different musicians take apart one of their best known songs. I'd never heard of most of them, but they're all good. "Go your own way" was interesting - when the rhythm section don't really want to play what the composer wanted. 😛 -
I think that @binky_bass's point was more that there is probably an assumption that blokes playing punk are a bit thick, plus the word punk being derived from a term for loser anyway, but there are plenty of counter examples. Which I think has been admirably demonstrated. 🤘🎶
-
That is a most excellent justification.

@Dom444 You beat me to it! Just a tip though, as I can see you're new to the site. Best practice is to post to say you're interested, as you have, and to send the seller a private message as well. Then the seller @Steve1967 gets an email saying there is something he needs to look at, and personal information like phone numbers don't need to appear on a public Web site. The private message button is a little envelope, up near your profile pic if you're using a mobile phone site. Welcome aboard by the way. -
That is, truly, Dreadful!!

Famous quotes thread!
-
Really? It must have leached out of my ears pretty soon afterwards then. Actually completing a PhD meant the ability to finish writing the bloody thesis, despite being out of time and money and desperate to do anything than check results from over three years ago or try to get the references straight. Prior to that it was great fun, but a surprising number of friends didn't manage to complete the write up within the time limit and never got to wear a floppy hat. Dr May took 30 years due to some minor distractions.

The neighbours are going to just love you two! 😜 How easy will it be for him to integrate into the village?

The last one, the chocolate brownie. That would be my call on almost any bass (just preference), but I also think it would be most appropriate here. You're getting an original neck by the original luthier (with stamps and provenance) and this is closest to the original, but clearly an upgrade. As @Grooverjr says, it's the one that would work best with a coloured/ stained body too. Your choice of course, and what a nice problem to have. 😃
