Are they gold? Asking for a friend... -
Just a jam night, but gun to play some random stuff, all at a furious pace... steppin out, hide away, mojo working and something else! Gave my lovely old maya a workout.

Ok it's not a bass but it's pretty.
-
I've ordered one of these. I don't need it, but it's affordable, compact, and I saw Stew's at the Bass Bash and it was cute.

Excellent! Last gig I did they put a 'bucket' round (OK a beer glass...) that nearly doubled our fee.
-
Oooh... I prefer the cheaper one!
-
Ah. Are the specs otherwise similar?
-
Me no unnnerstand! These have cloverleaves. LPB is gorgeous.

Well my first gig in my hometown. I felt I was rough but we went down a storm. One very strange song, the drummer decided to experiment with a different drum patter for Radar Love. He thought we were put off by the unannounced chage (he'd seen a youtube video). Actually it was the fact he played at a tempo of about 230 instead of 175. I think we broke the Guinness World Record for speed playing the song... I didn't know I could play that fast!

My better half booked "the ultimate zz top tribute" but they only played 20% zz top songs, ehich confused people a lot, although they were very good (apparently).

It's like a simplified version of Squid Game. Everyone takes their favourite bass. We then stand in a circle and bash each other unconscious. Last one standing takes all the basses.

Yep I've had the 'are you a musician question' thing at the interval before now 🙂
-
Looks like you got some great memeories to take home!

Still tempted by the Marquess 5.

A necro-thread that deserves re-invigoration! I've finally cracked this after three or four sessions. It felt like notes, rythym, tempo - pick any two! Guitarist sent me a link to Mark's video, suggesting I play the bodge at the beginning! 🤣

Love my Thunder 1, was playing it today

Caramelised = roasted Not fake.

Err... that's what the Jazz bass was originally conceived as!

The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash 2022 - Sunday 9th October

She says "ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! x" Reckons she hid because she isn't a bassist! 😆 -
The Exchange in Risca, great crowd, but a bloody great chunk of wall right in the middle of the bar room.

A pub we've played a couple of times before, really small and challenging to set up in. Before we started it was prety much at capacity (that's not a huge number of people!) Went really well. At the end we finished with Purple Rain and everyone was singing along to the wo-oh-oh-ohs. Never had so many people doing the rounds to say how much they enjoyed it and even buying us drinks. Even the landlord came and congratulated us all. Nice 😁

I use one of those, silly cheap and never had an issue with it.

Go a gig at my boomiest venue on Sunday. Stone flag floor, awkward layout, two bare walls facing each other exactly one 110Hz wavelength apart...
