    Have added Nottingham to the title. Hopefully it doesn't actually put people off!

    Ortega genuinely make a range of ukuleles called The Bonfire Series... https://ortegaguitars.com/en/products/ru5-te-m13363.html

    Or braids, or leather strips, or both plus a fag. In fact the whole Keith Richards look. Would bloody ruin it though! Looks great as is.

    Very sad. I only met him at the bash but, as everyone has said, a lovely chap to talk to.

    Don't tell @Smanth. She'll be off designing special electronics with hidden easter eggs so that if you press the tone buttons in the right order the bass plays Superstition all by itself. And if you push them in the wrong order it plays Proud Mary.

    That is the best looking Rickenbacker I have ever seen. Ever. Please be careful with it!

    Another Brummie 👍 If @Frank Blank keeps the bass lobg enough to bring it up to the Midlands Bass Bash in April* (and I have a side bet that it will be around for a lot longer than that) then @mr4stringz can join us all in Nottingham and we can see it in the flesh. * See the Events thread as I forgot to get the link before I started this post.

    Can't have a raffleless bash, the very concept sounds absurd! Hopefully we will have an array of random bass/music/totally un -related stuff that people are happy to donate. As per the last couple of Midlands bashes I suggest any profits to Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy, unless anyone objects?

    That looks great. 6 drivers looks perfect as well, clearly more heft than a 4, but not trying too hard. Understated power.
  10. Richard R
    Good news on the gigs, sorry we won't see you this time.

    Oh, I give up!!

    On the other hand, I didn't start this year's event, and am actively trying to go out, so you should ignore any opinions I have. Grant yourselves a pardon, an extra life, and a 2K pedal board.
  14. Richard R
    You asked for it, so I think you're out. On the 2021 and 2022 rules that was the case anyway. Unless it's a bike pedal, in which case you're all good.

    Random minor blues scales stuff until my fingers warm up. There's an Irish jig I play at home, which is quite fun, but I can't do that cold so it rarely gets an outing.
  16. Richard R
    Straps aren't in the signal path, or shouldn't be, so I think you're OK.
  17. Richard R
    The AA fix basses?
  18. Richard R
    I like the G&L. What does it sound like?
  19. Richard R
    Fairport Convention last night in Solihull. DP in good form with DM on drums. Rock on! Half Man Half Biscuit in Leamington next month.

    I'm going to call for Dave Pegg. Partly because he's a great bass player and a funny bloke, but mainly to watch Ian Alison struggle with the brummie accent.
  21. Richard R
    😲 That really IS low!

    https://www.studybass.com/gear/bass-setup/bass-setup-intro/ I read this all the way through twice, and then set my bass up exactly following the instructions. I forget what the string height was, but it was much lower than when I started and the intonation was spot on.

    There are already a lot of good interviews on the SBL podcast, I listened to loads of them during lockdown:
  24. Richard R
    Looking very promising... 👍

    Herbie Flowers would be great. I'm sure I've heard him interviewed recently on a podcast, and he was a really interesting guy. Maybe better for The Rockonteurs though.
