Stub Mandrel

If you inspect a sock it's topology depends on what type of fibre it's woven from (e.g. cotton is hollow, nylon is not).

Finally gigged the jaguar SS. Small bass, big sound. Lot of fun, think I prefer a 34" though.

Well... I have two fenders, but I'm taking a Squier Jaguar to my next gig. I also happily gig an Epiphone and now a Harley Benton.

Higher air density in winter leads to a slightly higher speed of sound, reducing latency and making it much easier to sit in the pocket than in summer.

Not at all, a good external 4R stack will be louder and bassier.

Me too!

Me too!

It's straightforward. Internal speaker is 4R. You unplug it and plug in one or more (daisy chained) speakers instead for down to 4R minimum.

Hellllooooh?

I might revise my board down to a TU-3.

I got kicked out for 'bejng too widdly', although it was Hawkwind like improvisations and walking bass as against root notes, rather than flash slap or anything like that.

I'm more like 'I learn my part, the drummer, guitarists and keyboard player learn their parts. Why can't you?'

Just found this from 22nd March. https://youtu.be/3u27UUep6is

Back at The Bootlegger, Chepstow Road, Bristol from 8pm on 12th and 19th June. https://www.facebook.com/events/389322336475316?ref=newsfeed https://www.facebook.com/events/538371757761890/?ref=newsfeed

None more black.

More like Knobinson Crusoe, the serial on every summer holiday where you never got to see the end because it was a week longer than the summer holidays.

I suppose this one is mostly decorative...

I need to speak to steve or em and see what they think. Only saw steve briefly at the last couple of gigs.

I had my rig turned down below my practice setting last night, and the drums only had one, overhead, mic on them.

Yesterday, drove all the way to Bristol in hammering rain. Gig was in a cocktail bar specialising in blues/jazz and soul. With our friends and family we outnumbered the clients, and for most of our second set we were effectively playing to an empty house 😞 Staff were really apologetic - blamed the rain and the jubbly, as people had started off getting hammered on Wednesday night and were partied out by Sunday... Still, we sold a t-shirt, the few people who were in thought we were great and the staff were full of praise. Back for the next two sundays, so hopefully it will perk up! Tiny area to set up, so next week smaller PA and just one-carry bass, amp and cab setup for me! Still we got a good photo...

Played the local jubilee/festival in Llandevaud yesterday. About 100-150 people but mostly off around the hog roast/stalls. Playing on the back of a lorry. Went well although my lead developed an intermittent fault and I had to switch to a more reliable(!) wireless at half time. During second set the stalls upped sticks at 5:30 so numbers dropped away. As we were packing up the next band were setting up on the adjacent lorry to do three sets 7 to 10, looked like they might have got about 20 people left ☹️

Sounds like the idiot missed the first set...

Wowsy. Played a local festival today. Bloke csme up afterwards and said my Embassy was the most beautiful bass he'd ever seen. 😍
