Thats evasion….

You can only win a million on the premium bonds 🤣

In certain circumstances… But avoidance could be as simple as buying one product over another as one as a tariff applied.

My mate runs a big tool company and they already suffered this…. Fake invoice from a supplier just paid. They now have checks in place and won’t amend bank details without talking to someone they know. Not sure how you deal with the fact that staff turnover is so high that I’d be surprised they could talk to someone they know more than once!

Maybe a ship mysteriously ploughed into it?

I have patches on my stomp semitone up and down and a tone up and down. I've used that in situations and no one notices... Of course it's a complete pain in the arse if you learn them in standard tuning and rely on the stomp and it doesn't work for some reason. But I guess that's the same as having a spare bass and having a problem with that.. On the plus side I've loved watching people in the audience wonder what I'm playing 🤣

Does it say if they are on lower salaries/benefits?

Tiny steps but I've restrung the Ibanez so the P can go back in the cupboard...

“Did any of the ladies have any Irish in them”

I was in the Gibson Garage last week - to gawp at the Jack Bruce bass - and engaging one of the assistants into the ‘why don’t you ever have many basses in here?’ conversation they said that that was to change very soon! They told me on the QT that when the shop was fitted out the wall hangers were put in (wrong) immovable places meaning they can’t move the stock around and that they are too close together for basses. They then mentioned there was to be a relaunch of a ‘boutique brand they own’. I guess I’ll have to pop up and ask to see their Growler soon!

I just have a split after effects, before amp/cab/reverb, that I send to ‘send’ on the side and that goes to my amp.

I don’t think I have perfect ears but I think you do this ‘naturally’, especially on an unlined fretless. The only way of ‘knowing’ what note you are playing is to hear it? And I think we naturally stick with what sounds good. Indeed, on a fretted I sometimes feel myself ‘hooking’ notes to slightly sharpen them then realise the bass has gone out of tune. For me the vids have explained ’why’ I do certain things but I haven’t really thought much about why I think that. If that makes sense! 😂.

As low as 99.9%?

If you have an mp3 of it look for some software called Riffstation. It was a Fender app but whilst it’s not been supported for years you can find old links to downloads for PC. Load your mp3 into it and it will interpret the chords for you.

I would go wired from your sansamp & wireless from the desk to your ears. If you are playing a ‘venue’ and not near the desk you might need a long cable for your P2. Although it may be that it comes to a stage box so you would take the feed from there. as Walman said I’ve not experienced dropouts either. But I suppose there’s always a first time!
