    I usually take my stand out to gigs. More often than not it's hidden off to one side and just holds set list, picks, towel etc. If I'm depping then it carries my notes & chord charts. One of these, I like it a lot. Tremendous VFM. : https://m.thomann.de/gb/thomann_orchesterpult.htm?o=0&search=1514722872

    I usually describe it as "a mixture of soul, Motown, pop, and stupidity".

    PM me the payment details Mike

    Yes you do, and in your fantasy they turn out to be lovely chaps and not jerks at all. For my fantasy, it's Steely Dan or Mike Stern.

    It's obviously a very important message Very handsome bass.

    I heard a story about Mike Rutherford once, to the effect that the reason he got together with Steinberger to develop the full bodied Steiny M-series guitar was because one of his kids had told him he looked really stupid playing the cricket-bat version. True or not, still funny

    Probably just me being picky, but if I was laying down that sort of folding stuff on a bass I'd want the strings to line up a bit better with the pickup polepieces. Lovely colour though.

    Prince. No question at all in my mind. How many people can claim to have single-handedly produced, arranged, composed AND performed many of their finest works?

    Exclusively 5s at the moment, although I do have some 4s 'just in case'. And I'm putting together a fretless Ray-alike 4 that I'm hoping to shoehorn into the set somewhere

    That headstock is totally wrong on that bass. The body is ok in a Carvin-y Conklin-y sort of way. Nothing remarkable though.

    Your own fault. Nobody made you get married

    No, we're discussing it. You're complaining that we're discussing it. Funny though, I was under the impression that jazz is thriving. Lots of new young artists coming through, etc. Certainly the jazz scene in Bristol is as lively as it's ever been.

    I've had three equipment failures in my gigging career. 1 broken string, 1 battery box in active bass, and 1 total wireless system failure. The last two were rather more serious than the first! My guitarist has regular amp failures, he just patches it up the next day. He's a Yorkshireman and is therefore allergic to spending money; the idea of buying a new amp sends him into a cold sweat.

    I expect most of us have got a 'Jaco', i.e. somebody whose popularity/reveredness we just do not get. Yours (OP) is Jaco, Spiders' is fusion as a whole, mine is Les Claypool. Oliver's language analogy was spot on; you don't speak Jaco and I don't know a word of Claypool. Doesn't make it crap, it just means that we don't get anything from listening to it.

    It is capable of producing low tones. Doesn't mean it has to all the time. Otherwise Leo would only have given it 5 frets.

    I had a Maison 5 string once, they were a cheapass budget version of these basses. It was a great bass, so given that this one is superior in all aspects this will be a fabulous instrument. Lovely colour too. GLWTS

    Certainly will -- and I'm hoping to have two working hands this time too!

    What a bell end. He sounds like a prime candidate for a 'frank exchange of views' in the pub car park. The bold bit alone is reason enough to bin him or the band. I don't blame you one jot for walking, but it's a real shame when it's something you've obviously poured so much into over the years. I see what you mean re: them getting some stick on their Farcebook page.

    What you don't know is that charic has sold the film rights of the kebab guide to Disney, and is trying to cover it up by pretending that it's "gone missing"...

    Or there's always I Can't Believe It's Not Playing Like Butter..?
  25. Rich
    Ah, gotcha. Yup, that's different. How about the classic "found in my dead uncle's loft"? Always good for a larf, that one.
