Welcome aboard Andy!
If you're worried about owning only 4 basses then you can always visit the market place and catch up with the guys here who own 7, 10, 30...
There was a recent thread somewhere about how many basses do people own, I can only find the old ones.
I have never managed to listen to all of it, can't stand it.I just listening again, and managed 30s. The day has gone quite well and I saw no reason to spoil it.
Please, someone explain - why on earth do so many intelligent musicians rate it so highly?
I should more honestly have posted "makes me want to drive to head office with a blunt instrument and make the prat in charge of musak suffer".
But I dread to think what you would have posted in reply to that... 🤣
Clearly you don't work at B&Q. They have gone back to what they did a few years ago and only play insipid covers of great music. Makes me want to scream.
Which immediately made me think of The South Bank Show. I have the LP of Variations, but haven't played it in ages. Did find this on YT though.
I forgot that the title sequence changed over the years.
This series of podcasts is just great! Ian Anderson is always entertaining, Adam Clayton really interesting, Nick Mason a gentleman of the first order. Ramble all over the place, but hey, it's in the title 😁
I've been to @Owen's church. What you need to appreciate is that half the congregation sing the songs in English, and the other half in Welsh, at the same time. Now while this makes for an awesome sound in the sanctuary, it must be a nightmare for the musicians who also have to play in two languages at the same time.
I absolutely love the repurposing of the mains plug pins!
That and @Dom in Dorset's idea of using earing studs as fretboard markers are just genius ideas.
