    I've been with Alex our guitarist before, and also plan on coming over with my brother sometime. It's a busy weekend, but I might get over myself (I know comment was meant for @Gottastopbuyinggear)

    It's Joan Baeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaeaz that gets to me...

    Thanks both I'll wait for a few suggestions and then check them out.

    There's also this of course: But I don't think there's actually a bad version out there...

    What's the best free, simple online shared calendar for gig planning? Ideally, something that works on a PC and on an android app and that I can copy and past or drag items from it into Outlook and vice versa? Life is getting complicated!

    I got a bit distressed on Sunday when my partner couldn't understand why this is a perfect pop song... Strange, as we have most of our musical taste in common.

    Well it did the job very well and with the inexpensive amazon padded strap was uber comfortable with no neck dive. Only issue, my cheap wireless set slightly attenuated the low c and b, still there but not wall shaking. Earned me some cred points too 😎

    Seem to be getting some traction. I will see if it might work for the Earl Haig. Otherwise I have a venue in Penarth that would be willing, we could use their big upstairs room on a day when there's a really good band downstairs.

    Maybe he just enjoyed the music and didn't expectvhis own mathematical precision firm others. Indeed he may have appreciated the differences as z good thing.

    Well done! I've done the odd fretless rehearsal but never had the guts to try a whole gig on one.

    Awesome gig last night. 8:45 about 4 people in. But they came,and it was loopy. Loads of improv and I even played a few solos! Pure fun from start to finish for us and the audience. That's what it's all about. 😎

    I can't understand why the open string needs to be out, surely a tweak to the nut-first fret distance isn't enough to cause an issue. I never came across an instrument where bad intonation near the nut couldn't be addressed by cutting the nut lower.

    LOL, I'd have said Bentley.

    "I am a very good bass player"
  15. Stub Mandrel
    Most bands I've been in do that. Usually the ambient sound is so bad I can't bear to listen...

    I don't have an issue with playing songs people enjoy. Also I don't mind playing songs with boring basslines that let other band members have some fun. That said there are songs I don't enjoy, one is Feeling Good, because in one rehearsal I nailed a really fitting walking line for it, but I just can't repeat it.
  17. Stub Mandrel
    Lol! My brother resisted that song for ages, then eventually acceded because it is the drummer's favourite. They found a blast to play. When they did it at a big gig they managed to blow up the venue's PA 🤣

    Ugh. The Imperial Leather guitar.

    You wouldnt want the back of a Gretsch showing, with its stupidity pad.

    John Thomas? Didn't he pop up in Lady Chatterley's Lover?
  21. Stub Mandrel
    I've pretty much decided to use the MB-5 for my gig on Saturday. Just for some of the songs in the second set that lend themselves to low, slow lines.
  22. Stub Mandrel
    Ackshewerly, I rather like this...

    "Naughty, naughty. Very naughty!" 🙂

    It might be an unpopular opinion, but I'm unimpressed by how many of the other opinions expressed here are far from unpopular.
  25. Stub Mandrel
    I suspect the problem lies at the far end of the strings to the zero fret...
