Can you file flats and use pliers on it

Well done @neepheid! 2025 could be easier, as I may be skinter...

Yesterday got an email saying the Brassmaster will be delayed by at least a week 😞

Indeed. My comment was purely on the aesthetics (no-one would claim Alembics are anything other than excellent instruments to play), but aesthetics are very personal. In truth there are some many good basses out there of different shapes and styles, it should be possible for anyone to find one they like to play and see.

I was a Sea Scout so was taught to hank a rope properly. So now, when I coil a lead, every loop gets a little half-twist.

The best invention for musicians, ever!

Ah. That's 👍

It looks like the Sire headstock, which I like but many despise! -
What's up

I would but the tiny distance between inaudible and rehearsal volume on my amp makes it so hard to set a sensible volume.

You need to play to a standard to join a band. Generally, staying in a band is about building relationships and a team spirit. Bendricks Rock seems particularly healthy as we share a warped sense of humour (how many bands have a tagline like "Keep It Moist".

Rics, Alembic (with point on the end), Gus, some Vox models, G&L with a pip on the headstock, white bongo. Just personal prejudice and otherwise as meaningless as dismissing all Precisions.

At thevtime I felt that the new romantics had the best shirts.

Actually some good news ... the guitarist from the blues band has picked up a gig on the 23 Jan. Good news - 7pm to 9pm Bad news - Womanby Street Cardiff. Worst parking in the city.

God that's awful 😞
-
Just found a photo from our guitarist's other band's last gig... Capital Radio's firework night. I'm not jealous...
-
That's taught us.

Definitely looks better IMHO.

Without making any judgements, someone who is in a musical couple might not give an entirely unbiased view of how well it works? 😁 <ducks>

Of all the basses I've encountered probably the most bass for the money, even including Harley Bentons. A future classic.

Fear not. Black is just a gateway to tort, you'll get there in the end.

Until relatively recently, the mist I had paid for a bass was under £300. I have 18 basses, only four of them cost more than £300. The best one cost me £80. But I love the way they are all different so I play each one differently.

You're wrong about that 😉 -

Yes that's correct. They have a particularly sneaky way around here ... box junctions on roundabouts under a flyover so you can't be sure some exits are clear in time to stop before you enter unless you approach at a speed that gets you hassled by following vehicles.
