....No! Not Those images! Filthy minds the lot of you... I saw this image of Chris Glenn when I were a wee lad and thought...”That’s cool, I’m gonna be a bass player” Foot on the monitor, glaring at the crowd. Also fell in love with 51 P/Tele bass shape at the same time. Any pictures/album sleeves that got your “Bass” attention? Sorry if this has been done before.

Really enjoyed that. I like the imagery he uses to describe the different bass parts. As @KingPrawn said, I thought his comments on slap bass were indeed spot on. Thanks.

It’s grim. 👏🏻

I’ve put this on my watch list. I’m genuinely shocked that he’s charging anything for it, let alone the amount! The description is “creative” at best. I want to see if anyone buys it. And if they do, I’m going to sell them my used pants, advertised as a Gucci balaclava.🙄

Bit O’ Edgar Winter? Or Stevie Ray Vaughan? Lnnnnrrd Sknnnrrrd?

He’d probably be fine Paul. He only dislikes country. Said nothing about Western.

Blimey Vim Fuego hasn’t aged a bit 😲

Well, when you can’t find bog roll, needs must.....

Can’t see the article now Jon, but I thought he said he’d helped with testing and design of the pickups and something to do with hardware?. 🙂

Looks like a “Highway One” with those machineheads. So perhaps not such a good price? Let’s hope he hasn’t touched the nut, otherwise that’ll need replacing.

Massive bass drop

Blimey! I must be the only person to have used the system without an issue. 😲 Sent guitars, and smaller musical items without a hitch. Hope you sort it @lonestar 👍🏻

Check the postage address. It should be the Staffordshire one, if so don’t contact the seller to arrange anything.

If it’s done through eBay global service, you don’t have to do a thing. Just send it to the eBay distribution centre in Staffordshire and they take care of the rest. The buyer pays eBay direct the additional shipping costs.

Actually wanted to be either a rockstar or footballer. But I’ve just gone with “the flow”, having a very understanding wife, and one step somehow has connected with the next step. Never been happier going to work each day. Rockstar/footballer/therapist? I would end up seeing grown men cry one way or another 😊

Similar coping strategies to prison staff.

Great thread 😊 Group therapy. Mostly with angry or violent men. Love my job. Stopped full time music to do it as I found it more fulfilling. I’m happier musically as a result. I got there via banking, retail, scaffolder, bottle washing (literally), builders merchant, addiction counselling, prison, probation, teaching and musician. My CV is not “linear”. 🤪

Yes! Forgot about that. 😂 Used it once in 20 years or so.

I have a lovely brown suede strap that I’ve had for years and years. Never use it, but I take it out of a case occasionally, with a mind to shifting it on. But it just ends up in another case. So it’s probably spent it’s whole time in and out of the cases of all the basses and guitars I’ve owned for past 15 years. Bizarre.

No gatherings? My day job is group therapist!! That makes my work a tad challenging. I’ll be Gestalting by myself then. 🤪

Unsurprisingly Belgium/Holland gigs for end of April are cancelled. As they’re the only gigs I do, I don’t be adversely affected. But I do feel for rest of band that do this stuff for a living. I’ve picked up worse things at gigs than Coronavirus mind. 🤪

Yes watched it too. What great players he had around him, loved Ron Carter telling him to do one when asked to change to electric. 😊
