This is a really good demonstration of exactly what rubbish is. One thing that, to one person, is no longer usable, or fit for purpose, so they are going to throw it away. The same thing, someone else would possibly be prepared to buy from them. The real question is; whether Jean-Luc has thrown it away, sold it, or put it in their spare parts box... I see this sometimes at the local council tip. Wonder why people are throwing things away that look perfectly useful. And I'm sure there's a perfectly good reason for it, but you're not allowed to buy and sell things at the tip. Although I have seen people taking items off people as they're emptying their cars. So is it rubbish, or is it ready to be recycled? A lot of rubbish music seems to have been recycled by various people.

Ha! I have Lozz's Keeley compressor, which I bought from him 4 years ago. It's brilliant. Always on.

I am not tiny! I am still in. Truss rod adjusted last month - seems the saddles are at the lowest they'll go. Still plays well.

A friend of mine died last month. 65. Our drummer is going in for stents next week. 60. A manager at work had a heart attack- has been off for 4 weeks so far. Stents fitted. 48. Stay safe everyone.

What is B doing wrong that is preventing you from progressing? Where do you hope to progress to and when? Is everyone else 100% on board and capable of committing to playing at that new level? The best musician is the one that can make the gigs.

Yes. Quite. 2022 post so presumably post pandemic. Venues were trying anything to recoup losses back then.

A search for 'lift up arms' with Office Chair, Gaming Chair, musician's chair comes up with a few ideas. https://amzn.eu/d/0rmqpAr Gaming Chair https://www.gear4music.com/Recording-and-Computers/modul-Studio-Chair-Black-and-Grey/5889?origin=product-ads&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22258054978&gclid=CjwKCAiA24XJBhBXEiwAXElO3xJyDdPbrq7F3sGRBxa_hAq3q-dlTLleDRrYUjB-6z0xhpQ1o7LIhRoCn7kQAvD_BwE Think the IKEA one isn't going to work as ideally want the arms on and off. And the Herman Miller ones are what we use at work. Keeping hold of a working one is impossible. I'm considering chaining mine down. 😬

Looking to replace our home office chair. The current one was selected by my son as a computer gamer chair. It's been heavily used and abused and needs to go. I'm looking for something that I can sit and play bass on. ie removable arms or arms that can adjust well out of the way. What are you using?

The artists will have to decide which sellers will give them the best price for acting as ticket agent. Otherwise there won't be any ticket agencies.

Aklot currently £32 on Amazon.

That's only because he's posted in the wrong sub-forum. Should be in the Theory and Technique section... https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/31-theory-and-technique/ Which IMO should be listed above General at the top of the forum and not 4 page scrolls down on the phone.

I have a great app on my phone called Chordbot Lite. You can program chord progressions in and then play along. I'm sure there are other apps and PC programs but this is incredibly simple and intuitive to use.

Its that time of year when my wife tells me not to buy anything and to put it on my christmas list. Unfortunately the dog has eaten all my socks and I'm down to my laat two pairs. So I bought some more on Saturday. So. 1. Socks I also bought 2 pairs of jeans brown and black - as I can't wear my curent ones out for any Xmas parties. 2. Jeans (I may or may not wear them, then they can be wrapped and I'll open them) 3. Trail running shoes - I'll buy them and they can wrap them. 4. DMX WiFi transmitter/recievers - I'll ask for Amazon vouchers and buy them after. 5. A new bass - no idea what, 3 string, possibly Ibanez - I don't need one - I doubt I'll find one.... 1-3 are dead certs. 4 I may change my mind. 5 may stay on the list for the next 10 years...

10 still in I think.
