Never trust Talkbass. Glad to hear she's doing significantly better than was rumoured Tim 👍

Which of course was my point, she apparently struggled to get gigs post-Justin, part of the problem being the still male dominated Nashville session scene

That f***ing board 👌

Context 👍

@spongebob did everything work out OK?

I really got into Justin Townes-Earl whose double bass player was outstanding. She quit the business and now sells houses

Stand in the corner 😆

I’ve emailed and spoken to him several times, I won’t be using him, it’s always ‘drop it in next week but call me first’. And of course, when I call again…. I would prefer ‘yep, drop it in today’ or ‘drop it in Monday morning’. I’m sure he’s a lovely guy and a great tech, and perhaps I’m too impatient, but he’s a short 10-min walk from my house and I’ve not once pinned him down on a drop-off date. If I’m leaving costly tube gear at someone’s place I need to know they’re reliable. I’ll be calling East Street Music tomorrow 👍

Living in a very old stone farmhouse 25 miles east of Aberystwyth at the time, the Welsh weather f***ed every aspect of double bass tuning at the best of times And I would kill to live there still 👍

Likewise for electric 👍

‘You can have all the lights and pyro and dancers you like, but if you sound like that, all you need is a piano’

Funnily enough just listened to it, only thing could make it better is some bowed double bass towards the end 👍

How I used to have to get DB to gigs when I also took the wife kids in the back No spare possible back then.......

How much of a problem would it be to put another bass in the Mini?

Agreed 👍

This is the desk I use and at £250, if you have the space, it’s a bargain 👍 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/146030788472?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=NJtMSw-GTWu&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=155UlNbXQGW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

And BTW, this thread is a great example of why Fender have given her a Sig 👍

I hear the Peter Kay Precision is coming also 👍

You're correct I just checked 👍

Very bling, '58 in blonde with anodised plate and gold hardware. There was one for sale on here for a few years, I was really tempted

Most parachutists have never needed a backup ‘chute….

This ^

Fender Custom Shop - or the team that became FCS - did a very short run a long time back. Lovely thing 👍

I know, it's quite amusing at times isn't it, but that's the meejda for ya 👍
