A gentleman never reveals where his thumb has been placed. I do love it when iconic/influential musicians don’t have much clue about the gear they use or theory, (in the same detail) as perhaps less well known keeners. It appears less important somehow? 😂

Is his bass short scale? The neck looks er..short..😊 or was CS particularly large?

The headstock!

Gas Gas Gas!

I like it runny.

I went to spocsuvers now my eys are mugh butter.

I’ve noticed that my leather strap needs more cleaning after a gig than my basses (which gets a wipe down). If I leave it in the case then it gets nasty 😷 But I’m not as clean as you Rob, you must smell lovely 😊

There’s enough Cummings and goings on here as it is Mickey.

Oi you! Yes you in Rotherham, East Heringthorpe! Turn the low mids down if you can’t afford a headphone amp. I can hear it from here. Btw I hope you’re better since i heard you falling down the stairs... ....oh ...a slap solo. Well you deserved everything you get. Now turn DOWN!!

Anyone in Newington area practicing in their flat...please stop, or get some headphones.

“Precision” takes more sharpies to write on the smaller end...(the bit with the metal twisting things on it), so it’s probably balances out in the end? Just a thought...

Your welcome. With the lockdown I haven’t been able to get to the guy who normally does set ups for me. So your channel has been even more valuable. Followed the restring tutorial to the letter with my phone in front of me, and I even surprised myself. Great tip about using the bed btw. John

Thomanns time travel service. 👍🏻

Big shout out to @geoffbassist great YouTube channel. Thanks for the “how to change strings” video. I have changed strings many times, but always felt I’d not done a great job. So this time I thought I’d try a tutorial. Geoffs video was enormously helpful, thank you. Loads of interesting and helpful videos on your channel. Good job.

Ordered double bass string set late Tuesday night, just been delivered to my door by UPS.

“Entry was not with intent to intimidate." Depends on which end of the broom your holding 😳

Thanks Chris. But to be fair, nobody knew who we were, The Bangles were on before us and Southside Johnny after us, so it was his way of making the watching audience too dizzy to get up and make a cuppa 😂. I think I slapped most of the way through the album this came from. Quite unnecessarily too 🤦🏻‍♂️ but no one said “oi you! mullet boy! Stop that now! Kajagoogoo have kajagonegone” Which goes to prove “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”

Yah wanna see someone slappin the buggery out of his Thunder iii back in 85??Do ya?? Mmm? Warning: 80’s Mullet in use. ref clothing choice: I was picked up and charged by the fashion police immediately after arriving back in uk. Warning: No funk involved. (The mullet was returned to the original owner, unharmed by September 85.)

Or the bank balance? 😉
