I've been following this with interest. Electronics was never my strong suit, though I still have my battered copy of Horowitz and Hill from Uni days.

Or anything in certain threads on here either 😉

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard!

So @LukeFRC - are you playing 4 or 5 tomorrow?

I've never heard of Mamoth WVH, but just checked the album out on Spotify, on my phone. Two things struck me: excellent album cover, the sort you would be excited to walk out of the shop with, hoping the music would be good too; 10s of the first track says there is no point in playing this on the phone so I'll have to get up and play it properly loud. Thanks for the heads-up. 👍🤘

What's a "Festival "?

That's really nice!

Bass shaped cake?

Based on the last bash, if you bring a +1 they will win top prize in the raffle 😁. I still have that transcript of Moondance, and I intend to put it back into the raffle. But this time autographed and dated, thus starting a tradition, so that 20 bashes later it will appear on the antiques road show. Or Crimewatch.

Done @Andyjr1515, @SpondonBassed, @ezbass

And even if the number of people arriving is an under estimate, the mass departing will be about right.

More craftsmanship on display for the control knobs than many builders can manage for the entire build...

But @SpondonBassed and I are also bringing an additional person each, so the numbering is out straightaway.

Welcome aboard! Loads to learn, get frustrated with, much about with, and get satisfaction from. Much like learning any skill, but bass is cooler 😎. StudyBass.com is a great place for a beginner as it Scott's Bass Lessons. The former is free, and has a great section on avoiding injury. Useful for those of us who picked up the bass much later in life and have realised we aren't invincible 😉

My lad Dave wants to come along, he'll bring his bass. Might get a couple of other hangers-on as well to make up a car-load. ( @nickmew? ) @Richard R - Brawley Artemis 4, Brawley Artemis 5, EBS Session60 amp, something to weigh basses with. + son with his Westfield of some sort. @Frank Blank - Rob Allen Mouse Fretless, Rob Allen Mouse Fretted, Ibanez SRC6, QSC K12.2, HX Stomp. @Stub Mandrel - Fender Performer, Hohner Jack Custom V, Deathburger (HB kit build), TE 1110 combo? @petecarlton - Mayones Cali4 "Puzzle" Bass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYAvWZGwc4s&t=13s&ab_channel=BassTheWorld.com @Teebs PRS Kingfisher bass, Godin Passion RG-4 RN (It haz arrived! ) @SpondonBassed - Jack. (That's not short for Jack all, it's just that I can't decide until nearer the time.) @Machines - Sire M5 / Yamaha RBXJM2 / GenzBenz Neo Pak / EICH112XS @bassmansam - Rickenbacker 4003s, Eppy Thunderbird Vintage Pro and Ashdown ABM 500 2x10 combo @jebroad - Not-fender jazz (maybe), squire silver series jazz, old Kay SC, Dingwall combustion, Ashdown 8x10 (Maybe) @Jabba_the_gut - 27" mini basses, Short scale telebass, whatever else I build by then, TC RS210 combo. Cakes @Oldman -RUACH NT 35” Unlined Fretless Custom, head and cab @NickA Since the last one.. got a second Wal with an extra string and those weird metal things in the fingerboard ( supposed to help you play in tune I think, but cause all kinds of problems ). So, yes, please. I'll be there; Couple of Wals and some pjb amps. @Geek99 - POSSIBLE ... Ampeg AMP, bass-doc built relic P, homemade jazz with geddy lee pups, zoom b2.1 @bnt - TENTATIVE - Harley Benton MP-4EB Enhanced "Shamberg" w/ EMGs and its own Ryanair seat, tc SpectraDrive. 16 confirmed on this list, plus the few others who have said they want to come but haven't added themselves yet. Should be good. 🤞

I know what you mean about wanting the set. 🙂 bought the 5 string version of my four string earlier this year and I've put the four string away to learn to play 5. There is I think a fretless, but I'm not accurate enough even with frets!

Welcome aboard! Sorry I don't understand - why is playing a Warwick "backsliding"?

Very smart. And a great trio of guitars. 👍

Victor Borge?? As in The best Piano performance ever! -Victor Borge - YouTube

Welcome aboard! From "Kill David Hasselhoff" to "Green grows the Laurel" - that's quite a variety. Though it sounds like you could drive to gig in Reading intending to sing the latter, but arrive at the venue in the mood for the former.

You tripped over one in a music shop? You were sent shopping and hadn't realised you were supposed to buy fish? Do tell. And of course: Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard!

Your assuming the heating works. This is not always the case in UK churches, particularly the Norman ones 😉

We need a new emoji-thingy to say: This Thread Urgently Needs Sound Clips!! Anyone capable of making one?? Like this.
