Sad news. Condolences to his friends and family.

Welcome. I'm also in Notts. Best of luck finding what you're looking for.

No idea but sounds like an interesting project

Really interested to hear more

Found myself at a rehearsal room last night that didn't have backline. Dug out my battered BDI21 from the bottom of my bag, plugged DI into the PA. Worked a charm, sounded good to my ears.

I've sometimes thought about a cheap, headless, stick bass to have as backup. Small and light package to load and store on stage. Something like this Has anyone taken that approach?

Sorry to hear you didn't get the spot. All the best for whatever is your next gig.

Nice one. Enjoy learning the songs and playing!

I saw the Staves and CMAT yesterday at Moseley Folk Festival. Great performances and lovely bass playing from both bands.

Interesting. I'll be following this discussion.

I wish him the very best with it. Even if we can buy strings online from him that might help support.

How frustrating. I'm sorry your time was wasted.

My view is that if you want to and it makes you feel more confident (not necessarily younger looking) then go for it. You clearly want the gig so I wish you the very best of luck. I'd love to hear how it went.
