3rd bass I’ve had off Stuart over the years. Hassle free (from my perspective) deal. A true gent to deal with. Thanks John

Very little in my experience, other than whim and fantasy, clothed in super spiritual language in some cases. I feel for you, and find it so sad that this is still going on 10 years after I was last involved in church organised music. Leaders, please either trust your musicians, or help them by having some thought about what they may need to assist whatever it is you’re trying to achieve in a service. Too often I had “I’d like us to sing (x/y/z) now” at the end of a sermon, often something I’d never heard of, without notice. Given the significance often put on the “sermon/preach/word” and the time spent preparing it, gave some indication of the value put on musicians time in preparation. I will bow out from posting on this thread as it’s probably not what the OP had in mind. But it still find it sad. Keep remembering why you’re doing it peeps, do your best, listen to as wide a pallet of musical influences as possible to increase your vocabulary. Love each other and, above all…. don’t listen to me 😂🤪

So glad this is still going! I remember organising one over 10 years or so ago in Shaftesbury. I’ll try and be there, especially if there’s crumble…🤪 -
I joined sometime after it’s inception. And it was clear that the there were a core of contributors who were pretty disparaging about BC, most of whom had been barred. However, like Marvin’s first paragraph, I found a lot of great advice, some “extra mile” kindness, and a lot of laughs. I’m glad I missed all the nastiness.

OP edited now Graham to show 42mm nut and 9.75 lbs. cheers -
GONE! Traded Reluctantly parting with this bass, but really need a 5 or 6 string and have been denying it for too long. So would consider a trade for a 5’ver/6’er, preferably fretless, but will consider the right fretted, with me adding a couple of hundred quid (£200-300). Body purchased from @Beedster of this parish a while back. It is Ash I believe, tonerider pickups with individual volume for pups and push pull series parallel switching on both volume pots. Very versatile tone. The neck is an unnamed rosewood board unlined, with inserted fluorescent markers. They weren't put in with a great deal of finesse but are functional and don’t affect anything. The same markers are inserted on 12th and 15th fret positions outside the G string for reference when you’re up the dusty end. 42mm nut width, but fairly slim depth. And weight overall 9.75 lbs. Low action, and great player. Hardware is Wilkinson. Next to it’s not identical “twin” which is not for sale. I’m in Bath but happy to meet up in or around Bristol, Bath or Bridgwater. I don’t have a spare case or gig bag for this, so if posted I will need to source packaging. Thanks John

@vmaxblues are you looking for a trade? -
We already have a bespoke builder for the large of hand. This person is catering for the tiny of finger.

Why are people stating that the person in question “challenged” Adam Clayton’s stupid stereotyping comments? Is posting vile abuse now the “challenge” for the hard of thinking? I hate this world more each day. The person got their publicity, well done them.

New unused A string. Here’s the spiel: Presto Balance Hybrid 3/4L Double Bass Strings - steel-rope core (chrome- steel wound), light tension, full tone, long sustain, good bow response, suitable for arco and pizzicato. £15 posted -
All this talk of rotas reminds me of a Milton Jones observation on church: “Some people see the church as a giant helicopter. They're scared to get too close in case they get sucked into the rotas.”.

SOLD Error in pricing. It’s £30 posted. Boxed with instructions and cables to connect to iOS or PC/Mac. Bought this a while ago, never used it. Tested and working as shown. Handy little controller, but I have a different device so never used it. Ipad not included. £30 posted to any door of your choice. -
SOLD As title. Came out of a recently bought body. Working fine. Residue from foam padding on underside. £8 posted. -
The decal starts and ends with the right letters.

Noiseless pickups seems a strange choice for the bedroom. Although no snoring would be welcome…. Apparently

Put your pedant away you dirty boy. He didn’t, you’re right. But the milky children would have. “I wave my pedant in your general direction”

I don’t particularly like Prog, but very much enjoyed that prog on Prog. Never knew Jon Anderson was a Lancashire milkman. He weren’t drinking milk when ‘e wrote them bludeh wurds. How many little Jon Anderson’s are there I wonder, all born on his milk round, singing falsetto in the local choir?

Gotta love the Cheesy Groin as the locals call it. Great venue. It’ll be a blast.
