I remembered yesterday getting a flyer in about November, and then forgetting all about it. Just checked out their current album "Shuffle and Go" on Spotify. Like that a lot. FC's website apologises that, due to Covid, they won't be joining the audience in the bar afterwards as usual. And asks that you bring cash if you want to buy the CD as there will be an Honesty Box on the merch stand!

Just bought tickets to see Fairport Convention at my local 300 seater venue on Tuesday. 👍 Then possibly Nick Mason and co in April and definitely Joe Satriani in May.

It's in the signal chain. You're nicked.

You're supposed to provide that as part of the answer. It's a 25 mark essay question in Philosophy And Ethics, not a 2 mark Maths question as we originally assumed.

It's a bass situation, so probably a Bb

Welcome aboard! I think that may be the first time an introduction post has warranted going straight to the "famous quotes" thread. Vigorous rabbit-holing, innatention and Glenfidich, sounds good to me.

Welcome aboard Left hand, right hand, second-hand, all tastes catered for. Lots of worship bassists here too, we come here to moan about the church pianists and the state of CCW, and to occasionally swap tips for fitting funk basslines into communion songs. BC=Bass Confessional.

Probably now, the panto season must be over.

Tetris.mp3 This month's challenge: transcribe and play on bass. 😛

Well packed, that man. After the Midlands Bass Bash I did think that Jaguar's design rule "two sets of golf clubs in the boot" was inadequate. "One 35-inch-scale bass in the boot" was just not quite possible.

Oh No She Isn't!

"Sonically Plebeian". 😁 Now how do I change my Basschat signature 🤔

Finally listened to this. I like it! I'm struggling a little to imagine it sitting in our church worship band though, so it's not going to be on my purchase list 😇😎

Welcome aboard!

A man who makes fine adjustments to his trousers with a hummer. Tough dude!

One of my favourite tunes by The Move. Never heard anyone cover it before and I find it's on @Happy Jack's YouTube channel 😄

Thanks @Happy Jack 👍 I did a search on the forum to see if there was a NBD review or such but couldn't find one, so thanks for a very comprehensive, and favourable, review. Good to hear the low B works on a Rick. I have only owned 35" basses, so 33¼" might actually be easier. I'm not in the immediate market for a new bass - I still have to learn to play the ones I have properly- but there are a couple for retail sale within easy driving distance so I will check them out when I have a bit of spare time. Thanks again

Slightly off topic - anyone here played the 5 string 4003S/5 ? Have decided 5 strings suit me, but do like a Rick.

I've done the essentials: trussrod, intonation, string height. I would be quite happy swapping electrics and shimming a neck but don't have the kit for fret levelling etc. @Steve Browning. I had my first bass set up professionally. When I got my second a year ago it was strung E-C, so much higher tensiom than the B-G I wanted and with different strings. So I had to adjust everything, or pay for a setup. This: https://www.studybass.com/gear/bass-setup/ is what I followed. Carefully and step by step. Very straightforward and much easier than, for example, playing the bloody thing!

CAUTION: contains irritatingly catchy pop earworms and no interesting bass content. This warning posted as a public service.

VERY cool. "Jabsco only needed 4 strings".

Yes, I can see why that would be odd.

Absolutely in character and looking really good! For some reason I expected them to point upwards rather than along the neck.
