Welcome!

I have the Spark Go. I haven't used it with the bass yet, but it's dead handy for guitar. It sounds ok, but when you play through headphones it sounds really good. Spark have released a set of headphones for silent practice. I'd be interested to find out what they are like.

I can remember a duo in a bar once, one on keyboards, the other singing and possibly playing guitar, doing Oasis covers. The singer made Liam Gallagher sound like Pavarotti by comparison.

I was watching a Trogly YouTube video yesterday, where Aldo Nova appeared to be playing a Chibson copy of his own Gibson signature guitar. He was working on a cruise ship, or something like that, so Trogly reckoned he probably just didn't want an expensive guitar getting damaged/stolen by a passenger or damaged by a salt water atmosphere and had bought a cheapie and fitted his hardware of choice to it.

That was released 34 years ago. When I was 15 a 34 year old song would have been "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley 😭

Just keep fiddling with them and your seat and finger gunk will probably do it for you. 😄

"I bought an £88 Ali Express Warwick Bass so that you don't have to..." 😄

Sock 'n' Soul

I might start a band called "The Unique Names"...

Is your band name "White Dog Poo"? 😁

You could have been really mischievous and caused all sorts of trouble for them by telling him to f**k off and slag his mum off. 😆

One hand free to hold a pint and the other free to scroll through social media on the phone.

I like that. Make it and I won't buy it (because I'm skint). Maybe move the G tuner somewhere else.

Hmm, good point.

Is a Rolex going to be better at telling the time than the £70 smart watch I wear? My watch might actually be better at it, as it synchronises with GPS satellites etc. A £250 bass that has been properly set up will play better than a ten grand one with a badly cut nut and strings set so high you could drive a bus under them (yes I know that instruments that expensive shouldn't be badly set u, but it happens).

Genuine question, when was the last time Gibson brought out a new style of guitar? Fender have brought out the Meteora recently and the Acoustasonic (albeit it's based on their traditional electric guitar shapes).

Much as I'd love to see the original Sabbath lineup, along with Metallica, Slayer and Anthrax all on the same bill, I just can't afford that sort of money for tickets and accomodation

I think one of the photos may be real and the other photoshopped to save having to take two photos, but the guitars definitely are real. There are reviews of them on YouTube.

My wife has the power to have people sectioned and sadly, had to use that power this week on a client. ☹️

They do still play Glasgow every St Patrick's Day. Obviously, Bruce hasn't been in the band for a few years now, but I was lucky enough to see him play with them quite a few times.

Don't worry, he hasn't gone to the great gig in the sky. I saw a message on Bluesky, from Stiff Little Fingers, saying that he has announced his retirement due to health concerns. Best wishes to Bruce and here's hoping that he has a long, happy retirement.

Just be warned that you might get taken for a BMW driver

Saints by The Breeders is currently playing on Spotify.

On a Spockenbacker bass?
