Mine went for about £300 too. Lovely bass, great build and worth so much more, just couldn’t get over my annoying penchant for everything P bass shaped. Sold for what I paid for it.

Whatever backline I bought last is the best evvah!!

Sucks that your amp let you down in rehearsal @Toddy Are you ditching all the modern kit you currently own and getting old kit from now on? Interested to know.

So glad no one has wheeled out the archetypal & overused stereotype comments associated with East Anglia and the Fenns. Having said that, I don’t think there’d be much of a backlash from the locals. ....too busy playing their banjos

Sounds like level42. Good job @doc40hz

If you can, just walk away. I don’t necessarily buy the “couldn’t phone/get through” bit. No respect for lazy, cowardly communication. It’s no reflection on your ability or you as a person. No one wins if you shout at them. At this moment you walk away disappointed, angry, etc but integrity in tact.

There’s one in guitarbitz in Bath. I’ve been lusting over it for months, beautiful looker.

That’s how G&R’s always sounds to me. 🦡 🔪🍒🤪

So you’re his backing band essentially? Bit like a pit band, you turn up and play whatever is presented to you. Now that’s fine, if that’s everyone’s expectation. I play in a band that is led by an amazing bass player who has gigged and recorded with high profile artists. However, he chooses to let me create my own parts, but occasionally gives direction, particularly in the studio. But that’s our expectation. So, essentially, laying out expectations from the start makes for clarity and helps minimise disappointment and resentment. I’d have a chat with him Mick, sooner rather than later, or walk.

I’ve been trying to do the same as @paddy109 I’ve looked at the various charts google throws up and I’m not sure what’s on mine. Purple ball end with purple & green tuner end. Possibly Dominants? They are too stiff for my liking, but sound mahoosive arco. It would be handy to have some idea as I’ll be looking to move them on and get something more suited to pizz/slap. Sorry for poor image of scroll end, but purple and green is there.

She is an amazing composer, creates beautiful and unusual music. Would love to be in her head for a day.

How can you try basses out in a shop if you don’t know basic slap technique. And... How can you post a bass video on YouTube if you don’t know some rudimentary tapping. And.... In order to facilitate a guitarist playing a 53 minute “blues” solo, one must have mastered 12 bar blues walking lines (but nothing fancy mind). So as one can see it’s important to know all sorts of stuff. 😉

It’s ok, it was supposed to be humorous. I don’t do music for money, or love, I just like watching people suffer....bit like my “humour” 🥳
