I have an HB MusicMan 5 string copy. I got it free, and soley to put a Roland hex pickup on it as an experiment. But much to my surprise it's really good to play, and sounds great as it is. I'd recommend an HB to anyone.

Because they're having to compensate for not being bassists.

Good luck!

Coooool, baby! 😎 And remember- Jaco only needed 4ºC

Welcome aboard! L

I shall definitely be over to your stand then.

That sounds like something Spike Milligan would have said! 😁

Where?

The rest goes on lessons, and a holiday.

" Not good at moderation " 😁 You're definitely among friends here!

Welcome aboard! Like Learning new stuff? There are a million rabbit holes to go down in this site, even aside from the brain-melt that the theory threads throw up sometimes. Check out Build Diaries. Mostly woodwork, then occasionally up pops a thread on Arduino, 3D printing and all sorts of mad things to make a bass with!

@Owen - I recall David saying that particular hymn was often deliberately scheduled along with the Rugby in Bangor. Is that correct, or was he winding me up/ mis-remembering ?

Following.

I used to work in Brindley Place. Fair Deal Music was an easy lunchtime walk for a bunch of us to see what they had. I think I only ever bought strings there, but they were very happy for three blokes to just turn up and play basses for half an hour then go back to work. Hobgoblin was another target, but their instruments all had ridiculous numbers of strings. 😁

Of course, if it's London Bridge, and you bought it off a geezer in Limehouse, then you're still in. An epic fail in real life,but not by these rules. 😉

That looks great!

"quite possibly"? What sort of spell checker converts "absolutely and unequivocally" to "quite possibly"? Have you been hacking your phone's O/S @SamIAm? Welocme to BC @Bramh14, without a doubt the most pedantic bass community around 🤣 Check out the marketplace for basses.

😲 Isn't that dangerous? What if the duvet gets caught in the saw???

So what the heck is "screw spacing"?

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard!

I missed this at the start. Looks very smart indeed. 👍

I am trying to come up with any logical explanation for that. I'm struggling, unless you have two totally different bands, one electric and one orchestral, playing totally different music?

Local council has been on a massive environmental health project, so no rats anymore. Foxes are too dangerous to try to catch and skin. It's going to be chilly in February...

https://www.theguitarshow.co.uk/ I went to this last year, same venue. A good show, with enough bass gear to make for an enjoyable Sunday afternoon. Parking right at the venue is tight, but you can spill out into the streets of the surrounding industrial estate. Well organised and not too loud (amps on only for 10 minutes each half hour and everyone at sensible volume, and a separate acoustic hall)
