Hi gang Here's a video from a lovely little venue we played in last weekend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5jQo5PNjoQ

It's been mentioned a million times before, but: A spiteful person with a bee in their bonnet and lots of money to burn can make your life a misery fairly easily, regardless of who's in the right.

...I should add that the video in that clip is a crop of the original frame, 'cos the camera was off-centre. The original frame is about a third bigger.

Here's a better test from my gig last night. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG1QDGj00Io

There's nothing nice about getting legal threats. Even if you're certain you're in the right, an opponent with lots of money and a bee in their bonnet can make your life a stressful misery. If BC has to take measures like it has to be free of the threats, then so be it. There's only one party to blame, and it isn't BC.

This method of showing item details = RUN AWAY.

Stick it between two weighty plates of glass, and leave it in the sun.

I've got my main fretted and fretless P's, which I've had over ten years now. I have a slot for a third bass, which is a 'guest'. I just like basses. I like the look of them. And as I mentioned earlier, it satisfies the 'what if?' in me.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1397120408' post='2420764'] would you say its 'Roq'solid? [/quote] Damn, I missed a sitter there, didn't I?

I agree that Roqsolid covers are very basic - they protect against knocks and scratches, and that's it. But.. IME they do that job well, with good service t'boot. Sorry to hear the OP has had a problem. Frankly, I'm amazed as their reputation is usually pretty solid. I hope you get it sorted.

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1397063935' post='2420317'] As someone who plays multiple instruments, bass would be a long way down on my list of instruments to play simply for my own enjoyment. [/quote] As someone who only plays bass, bass would be a long way down on my list of instruments to play simply for my own enjoyment.

It's human nature to continually ask 'What if...?'

Pro audio companies use them to mix FOH. They're solid. :-)

The band & production are great. Loved it. Can't get away with the vocals, though.

Lovely Joni. http://youtu.be/vLu2-gG68S0?t=1m1s

can you not find it even if you select 'Topics I started' in the left-hand menu?

Whoops - the video was flagged as private. I've made it public, so you can see it now.

A big part of the fun for me is the social and interactive side of it. I do plunk away in the house, but if that was my only outlet I'd probably lose interest.

This is a bit of a crappy test, but here's a recording from last night. It's crappy 'cos the gig is totally acoustic, apart from my little Promethean combo, so it's very low volume. And there's very little light in the room. But.. it'll give you an idea: [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9g_d4epRWA"]https://www.youtube....h?v=S9g_d4epRWA[/url]

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1396604224' post='2415532'] It depends on what musical situations you put your self in... If you have a bunch of jazzers busking standards..the leader will have pads or dots and you will not survive ( even if you get invited on the gig ) if you are faffing around in the dark. So, first off, learn to follow a basic chart and follow chords. When you get to a solo... and they will give you one or two... it helps to know what notes you need to be able to use over the changes as all the band will stick to the chart.... or at least count the bars of the rounds so you all come back into together from the top... ( ha, ha ..more terminology ) If you don't get to do this sort of thing, or don't want to.... or only play with 3 pieces, then you have less chances to clash notes... So, yes, happy and sad will get you far enough... but it wouldn't get you far if you want to play in more diverse situations.... Depends on the playing circle as well.... you just need to understanding the ways of communicating of the bands you get to play with. The more you know, you can use it or not...but you don't have that choice if you don't have it. so you'll never loose a gig just because you have knowledge, but there are a fair few that you will be excluded from even thinking about....IMO. [/quote] This.. I have no interest in playing Jazz, or on a boat*, and I'm in bands with people who communicate in ways other than in-depth theory, so I don't feel limited. [size=2]*Actually, I'v played on a boat quite a few times, but it was the Shields ferry on the Tyne.[/size]

Errr.. I know the happy scale and the sad scale. Does that count?
