GAS makes a mess of even the best laid plans mate. And I really should inspect the box a little more closely 😆

When I played electric exclusively taking one fretted and one fretless worked really well, each could be backup for the other if needed, but it also gave me lots of options. The first rock/indie set I did exclusively on fretless, and completely on a whim about 5-mins before the gig, was a revelation for me, if not the audience

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….
