    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"

    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.

    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?

    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.

    Ackshewerly, I rather like this...

    It might be an unpopular opinion, but I'm unimpressed by how many of the other opinions expressed here are far from unpopular.
  16. Stub Mandrel
    I suspect the problem lies at the far end of the strings to the zero fret...
  17. Stub Mandrel
    A zero fret helps, but isn't fashionable.
  18. Stub Mandrel
    May I ask what's the point of a system that makes theopen string flat? 🤔

    Wulfpeck are... oh, it's unpopular opinions that are wanted.

    Ironic that he also appears on Soft Machines THIRD, a wonderful album but possibly one of the most inaccessible ever not withstanding Metal Machine Music and Zero Tolerance for Silence.

    They've all been republished in a sensible reading order with extra content. Shorter novellas combined into longer books. I've made a start with the first two Elric ones.

    Whatever you do, don't pogo.

    My dad has no interest in music, beyond once having some Klaus Wunderlich and his Amazing Organ lps. Sadly my mum, who once came to a Hawkwind concert with me and my brother and whose best friend ran the Lonnie Donegan fan club, never saw me gig and died in 1999, a few months older than I am now.
