  3. Might I also add: Do it RIGHT NOW now: https://www.helpmusicians.org.uk/health-welfare/musicians-hearing-health-scheme Do it RIGHT NOW now: https://www.helpmusicians.org.uk/health-welfare/musicians-hearing-health-scheme Do it RIGHT NOW now: https://www.helpmusicians.org.uk/health-welfare/musicians-hearing-health-scheme Do it RIGHT NOW now: https://www.helpmusicians.org.uk/health-welfare/musicians-hearing-health-scheme It says "If you’re over the age of 18 and earn the majority of your income through music"; I don't, however I was able to demonstrate that both my bands are busy and have a large following, and this seemed to be enough for me to qualify. 40 quid for excellent custom fitted plugs, what a total bargain.
  4. You are Dave Swift and I claim my five pounds.
  5. 36, Rich West How come my silhouette makes me look like a huge massive fat bastid? Correction, a huger massiver fatter bastid?
  6. Fantastic, congrats to all. I know the feeling, I played at my son's wedding last week.
  7. Not just you, I do that too sometimes. You're still weird though

    Weight

    Just out of idle curiosity, I've just filled a bored moment by weighing my working basses: Ibanez BTB six - 10lbs 6oz Sire V7 - 10 3 P bitsa - 10 3 Wal Pro 2E - 10 2 ska Jazz - 10 1 Shuker - 9 7 Thunder 1A - 9 7 fretless Ray - 8 14 No surprise that the biggest bass is the heaviest, but a couple of surprises. The T1A feels far heavier on a strap than it is, and the Shuker feels lighter. Perhaps it's to do with the balance? The Shuke is perfect, while the T1A neckdives like a bastid.
  9. Oh my dear god that is stunning. Quick, nurse, my pills...

  11. Oh boy I'm jealous. I love the Performer basses.
  12. Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree - I'm Really Really Sorry
  13. Something I've noticed quite a lot in the last couple of years is bands/artists from the US playing a 'European Tour' that features no UK dates whatsoever. My favourite jazz artist's last European tour featured pretty much every country in mainland Europe (9 dates in Germany!) but the closest he got to the UK was Paris.
  14. I agree. Learn them as-is, and then if you get the job ask if they'd mind you tweaking them a bit or if they'd prefer them left alone. Good luck with the audition! What's the genre?
