My band is; Drums or occasionally cajon Bass guitar or occasionally upright bass mandolin or banjo electric guitar and on some songs lapsteel acoustic guitar & harmonica all this is occasionally augmented with onstage keyboards and we've got a trumpet on the new record. The last one had fiddles and pedal steels. I think I can tick the box on the traditional format and it's nice to play with different players

Patch bought my singers Epiphone Hummingbird from me via this site. Prompt payment (nicely gifted too!), good comms and all round good chap to deal with. Nice one!

I too have an old Sony camcorder that must be 7 or 8yrs old. Great sound & picture quality

Nice

They've been on EBay for years but I've never seen a bass with anything other than chrome (or nothing obviously!)

Classic. Every home should have one

Bump for Leicester this Friday at The Donkey

We play all over too. A bit of a lull in attendance after Xmas which is always the case in January but the promoters were happy & said we were their busiest night in weeks. No problems with bookings old & new although struggling to get on the festivals

It's offline for a few weeks whilst Ped is away. There is a post about it somewhere

Good man!

I dropped my 51 P-bass at my last gig & bent the jack plug in the lead but I've never heard of the pickup falling out. Normally it's the jack plug socket that falls out on these - a design fault like the telecaster

My original Precision has been with me for 20yrs & unlikely to go anywhere. I still gig it occasionally too. I do think keeper is an occasionally overused term here as per the OP though

And I'd at least pretend to be drunk if I was caught wearing that shirt...

Welcome

My current drummer is awesome & I have been lucky over the years.

electric jug ala the 13th Floor Elevators

I've only played a small handful & my experiences are not like icastle's in terms of weight. The more vintage ones were heavier but generally I have been surprised by how light they are. I think there are issues around amplification & ultimately it's either one or the other regarding a bass / guitar necked one. As a Fender fan myself they seem to be closer to the Gibson's in terms of vibe. All that said, I am a fan. They are very cool

Once I get flats on a new bass I won't change them again. 30yrs sounds good to me

Welcome
