That ‘wobbly comedian’ says, and I agree, that “normal is the cycle on a washing machine”!

I’m also going to bring my desk (so people can see how good a Zoom L is for small gigs) and that has 5 Auxes so bring IEMs if you like and you can try basses without adding to the sound level. I’ll also have some IEMs people can try (together with quite a few tips and a LOT of wet wipes!).

I was going to bring my ‘80s Legacy and my S3. Might be interesting to compare?

Sorry, no. Coming from Bromley and happy if anyone wants to double up...

There are comments in another thread but if it’s definitely comfort not cost look at a Heistercamp strap. Have it exactly how you want and choose ’with padding’. I just got a 3 1/2 inch for a heavy P I like to play and not having any of the associated probs now. Money well spent!

Do they do smashed avocado or anything with quinoa?

As others have said it’s not just the ticket prices. I’ve been going ‘Camden way’ for gigs with a buddy for the last 5 years. We meet at the same pizza place for 2x pizza and a bottle of red before a gig. 5 years ago this was c£35. Last time it was £86. We’re discussing meeting at the door & eating at home. Stops all the catch up / socialising…

Yes, thanks people!

It was the only url available or that Andre could afford at the time he set up statii.com?

I have an aging Manson fretless where the action was too high and the truss rod adjusted about as much as it could be (in my limited knowledge). A suggestion was to put low tension strings on, which was a great idea, but now I can’t seem to get any relief at the 5th fret - really buzzy.

That’s gotta be pretty accurate for the average bass player 😂.

I guess there might not be such a thing near you but when I had some ‘issues’ building a 5er from a kit I visited a model shop (RC aircraft, air fix etc.) where they had all sort of stuff ‘sold by the foot’. And the owner was vey helpful/interested in helping solve my engineering problems.

How much was the Berhinger mic stand monitor? They are useful for pub gigs!

Yes, very enjoyable! I was surprised Marcus Mumford was there. But more surprised at the ‘lack’ of any Fenderyness. I thought it would be a prime occasion to whip out something vintage but everyone went ‘super clone’!
