Excellent session last night with my stoner metal band. I made a switch from my Spector to my 80's Yamaha BB1100S and it was the right choice. Really fun and productive session and we're definitely getting closer to being gig ready. Me and the drummer are starting to understand each others playing better. He at least knows a look of panic from me means "slow down ya bastard!"

Ill just run this up the flag pole so we can all take a top down view and see what actions drop out of it. People who use management speak are generally people with no interests outside of work (golf doesn't count). They're not blue sky thinking and onboarding all day and then going rock climbing, car racing, dogging or bass playing. They go home to their life partner who is exactly the same and spend all evening working. Weekends, they might go to a cafe to work, or just for a treat, go golfing with the head of global PR and talk about marketing strategies. They've never pretended to be a rock star in front of five disinterested people like we do.

Well now im going to have to. I assume they butcher it.

This is the wrong forum for that sort of threat. Please keep that sort of filth for mumsnet

I had a tattoo by Sketch from Tattoo Fixers, back before the show started. Its since been covered up because it was a bit wonky.

And anovver fing. That TV show, The Repair Shop. Why are they all so nice? They're definitely up to something. And why does everyone who goes on to get their tat fixed have to have a cry? Why won't they fix things for people whose parents are alive and healthy? Why do they insist the parents must be dead? "Can you fix my mums old egg whisk?" "Is she dead" "No, she's alright. I dropped her off at Ethels on my way here" "Im afraid we can't fix it if she's alive" "Thats a shame, I wanted it fixed" "Then the old bat has to go. We can deal with her if you're not up to it"

Let me run it up the flag pole again and see if you salute it.

Anyone using the word "onboarding" deserves to be stabbed in the ear.

Given that a Sterling Ray 34 is £900 now, a budget EBMM Stingray is likely to be £1200+ so still not exactly cheap. Ive had a couple Sterling Ray 34's and 35's and they are really good. Used EBMM Stingrays on Reverb vary from £1265 - £4069. It looks like a budget of £1800 gets you a decent choice.

Mike Starr tone thread? Im with you on this one. Absolutely unacceptable.

Would? Is one of those really simple but extremely effective bass parts. Really fun to play with a band.

Slaughter To Prevail confuse me just because everyone refers to them as STP and for anyone of my age, STP will always be Stone Temple Pilots. I have seen Dying Fetus in Bristol years ago and they were excellent. The mosh pit was pretty much the entire room!

That was unfretted. Ill try it fretted and see where it is

Beaten to it

Hi everyone. Ive had my BB1100 for a little while and it plays really nicely but I can't seem to get pickup height right. I do tend to dig in quite hard whether playing with a pick or fingers and im getting pops and cracks as if the strings are touching the pickup poles. Is it normal to need to set the pickups quite low? Ive got about 3mm between strings and pickups at the moment.
