Re nutrition, given the complex and very wide ranging roles of protein in the body, if you were so deficient that your nails were weak you’d have a whole lot of more serious problems to deal with, despite what the internet might say. Like bones, hair, teeth etc, density varies from person to person, so if you’re at the low end, you probably need more help than extra protein.

Yep, that's the start of the collection right there. I justify multiple basses via the same logic (Precision with flats, one with rounds, an FL with flats, an FL with rounds, might need a Jazz, make that four........ What about a Stingray.....?). Be careful mate, you are about to set foot on a very slippery slope

Great news by the way, social media is increasingly making it harder for people to steal and sell on. Nice to see an upside to social media also

Start a collection

Must admit I'm tempted to use Superglue, I grow my right hand nails to play acoustic and they then break the moment I start playing bass again. I wonder if there's any risks (although given Superglue was apparently developed for surgical purposes I'm guessing not, or at least low)?

I used to use paint on nail strengthener from high street pharmacy. Does the job just fine

Yes, love mine

All four non-singers in my band carried an SM58 on account of our singist’s perpetual failure to bring a mic to gigs

I’ll say it again, why’s it always the drummist? Or the......

Our drummist turned up to a recording session without any sticks. The manager thought it a good idea to go out into the woods and find a solution. I will never forget the moment she stood there, holding up two drumstick length twigs, saying ‘will these do’? To his credit, drummist gave it a go. Four hours later we started the recording having found a local percussionist happy to lend us his sticks. Why’s it always the drummist? Or the singer? Or the guitarist?

Drummer turning up without his cajon sounds like the best outcome for me Jack.

If you use PayPal and pay via Reverb you’re fine

Reverb is great BUT it can be frustrating as a buyer as it’s a little more laid back than eBay. Not unusual to buy something, pay for it and not hear from the seller for quite a while. I bough a guitar there a while back and got a refund because the seller said ‘it’s not a great time for me to send, might be a few weeks’. I’d take that on BC from someone I know, but not From a seller I don’t on a dedicated sales forum!

Have to say the third video clip was WAY better and did demonstrate musicality for sure. Bach and Jaco made me cringe though, sounded like they were played by a machine

I'm happy to never hear any more of the kid bassist who can certainly play fast but certainly can't play either in tune or with any musicality, it's just not entertainment. But I am SO looking forward to more from BassicBbBlues/Basslover
