    Given that Bach was a fugueing genius it is far more likely that any riff any of us ever write, he already had. Which is sad in a way, but solves any future copyright infringement cases.

    Bible on the phone, the Mixing Station app for IEM if I'm playing. If I am running the livestream then the phone is on silent but available for texts from whoever is monitoring YouTube. We used to get texts when we started, but virtually never now as we're more experienced. Mixing Station works with our Qu32.

    Our church went straight back to masks on unless you are speaking from the front or singing. While the guidelines allow the congregation to take masks off to sing, nobody did except those leading from the front. Singing with a mask on is odd, because when you try to take a deep breath the mask pulls in and restricts the air flow, but it was fine.

    No idea why this is in introductions, but everyone is welcome, even those with big feet. And you know what the women say about men with big feet 😉

    12,000!! That's like polishing with a fairy's breath!

    An Oscar-worthy acceptance speech. However the competition isn't over yet- we may find someone who only bought a set of new strings despite marrying an heiress and winning the lottery.

    Could I have a jazz body with the first five of the top row as diagonal stripes please? Maple neck with the headstock in the pale brown 👍

    Watching with interest. The workshop looks fab!

    Welcome aboard!! Lots of very supportive people here, and has already been said - not just for bass- related stuff.

    Welcome aboard! Huge choice of basses at or below £300 new, even more 2nd hand. Play a few Yamaha, Ibanez and see what you like. What feels right in your hands matters. And welcome to a fab hobby.

    Welcome aboard! If you're playing 5 string then most of the time you can stick around the 5th fret and work across the fretboard. The stretches aren't as much as up by the nut either.

    Welcome aboard! Repairs and Build Diaries, huge fund of useful information and helpful people 👍

    Just been sent this, which is a significant improvement on the original 😉

    The Dee Gees. Foo Fighters disco album, which is way better than it has any right to be.

    Yep, you already fit right it - and we thought they didn't understand sarcasm in the US 😉 Welcome aboard

    Welcome aboard! Lots of church bass players here, often trying to smuggle funky bass lines into Hillsong.. 😉

    Welcome aboard!

    That looks very nice with the black/grey fade. Hope you can sort the neck out.

    I'll just put this out for you all:

    Good news: I'm playing for the first time in ages on Sunday! Bad news: due to work pressures I haven't played a note in weeks. Good news: we will get the songs tonight and rehearsal is Friday 7:30 pm, so lots of practice time! Bad news: I will be working late at home Tuesday-Thursday and will still be in central Oxford at 5:30pm on Friday. Good news: Google says its an hour and a half to get home! Bad news: Google hasn't got a clue and in my experience I might just about get home to collect the bass at 7:30 and so I will arrive late and be the one who everyone moans about because he hasn't looked at the songs, done any practice and turned up late having forgotten something! 😁

    Little details make all the difference 👍

    Lots of lovely things on this thread! I have purchased only one bass related item this year, the Brawley 5 string I bagged this year. Its four string brother has hardly been out of the case, and my appreciation of melody and musical theory has improved too.

    Welcome aboard!

    I do like this track, though it sounds even better on the demo @nickmew sent me last year than on YT. When's the EP actually going to be available, Nick?
  25. Richard R
    Amen to that!
