I was more surprised at the fact that they weren't a group of goats.

Not an attack on you (I know most BC members are quite easily upset!) but the whole idea around reaction videos is just so... I don't know. I think there are much better ways to spend your time than watching those sort of videos.

Reaction videos... *sigh*.

Skoda Octavia. Can't beat it for practicality.

And this leads me to my second point - Why are US strings so expensive here? DR/La Bella/SIT etc. It's cheaper for me to order strings from the US even with the high postage costs!

I'm taking a break from music but was thinking of starting up something again next year. The ads on JMB are beyond depressing... Guys who I've jammed with still trying to make something work but they're the ones with classic excuses such as: "£5 is too much for practice." "My SO/child/dog has had an accident so I can't make it tonight." "My car needs a lot of petrol and I'm choosing that over practice." Argh!!!

This! My favourite players are those who are quiet and are humble but they don't put themselves down. I've jammed with some amazing musicians who have zero drama and make being in a band fun.

Love that stack knob!

Fun fact - when John left the band after BSSM, Buckethead auditioned for his spot.

The dreaded blue tick no reply scenario...

And you wonder why you were banned from Talkbass...

By The Way is a great album too - I don't understand why it gets all the hate. Bar 'Carbron', I think every song is at least good.

Californication is a magnificent album. I sometimes prefer it to BSSM.

Shift workers i.e. let's practice at the weekends. 🤮

Turnstile's new album 'Glow On'

Good - because I really enjoyed SA. I wish they made it a single album though... Here are some highlights:

Oh God please no!

Aside from Boomers and P flats, why is the GHS catalogue so hard to come by in the UK?

I've had one amp failure in my 20 years of playing. Ashdown Superfly. DOA.

I need a gig... Hello? Is anyone there? Bueller, Bueller...

Dunlop screws are normally chunkier in width to accommodate for the straplock size.

I normally use vaseline to help slide it in.

Did you have to modify the existing screw hole?

Has anyone changed the stock strap buttons for Dunlop strap locks? I know the Dunlop screws typically tend to be bigger and was worried about paint cracks.
