    Friendly, lively city with some great music venues (Cluny is great). On the other side of the river is the fabulous Sage - a concert hall type venue. Surrounded by amazing countryside, but bloomin' cold for us southern softies!

    Can't you take it in on a carnet? Will cost (£400 ish) but is the official way of taking kit across borders if it is coming back again. Doesn't help for merch though.

    Thanks. Really like the effect, even before you tamed it! Thinking of trying it on a furniture project.

    That stain looks great. How did you extract it from the turmeric? Did you rub straight from the root, or soak it?

    Something different. As @Dad3353says, a bass is a bass (at least is is to the vast majority of band mates and even larger majority of punters), so take the opportunity to enjoy something different.

    A Lee donkey...oops, profanity filter ruined an already bad pun.

    Not as numerous - or in the case of 70s Fenders, very undesirable. Funny how they got better with age 😏

    Finishes the bass off nicely 👍

    That'll be the Boom Boom Club run by Pete Feenstra. Hosts lots of older name artists - Focus, Walter Trout, Mick Taylor etc.

    Ah, but the Telecaster must be the Precision of the skinny string world.

    Had a similar experience with Van Morrison. Got to see him twice in two weeks. First time stunning, second time, as you said, was like listening to a CD.

    Went with @Mickeyboroto see Del Amitri following a thread on here about an excellent documentary about them. Fortunately the support band were great...

    Whereabouts are you? There's a recommended techs thread which I'll go and find. £120 bench charge does sound excessive.

    Just got this today as a late Christmas present. Thanks for the heads up @wateroftyne

    Was a huge fan of Costello and Sade (yes, weird mix I know), and Sade was a highlight for me. Was there at Wembley for this, so only saw the bits of the US show that was on very old technology giant screens between the UK acts. Great day.

    Was rehearsing (rhythm guitar) with a big band many years ago when the pianist, immediately behind me, fell off his stool. After the initial laugh at a bit of clumsiness I realised the poor man wasn't messing and had sadly died from a heart attack.

    This. I've tried groundwounds (a long while ago) for the same reason. To my ears d'addario Chromes do it much better.

    Time to revive this thread - recorded in 2011 but only released this year, and one of my Christmas CDs, a highly recommended offering from Mavis Staples and Levon Helm, Carry Me Home. Sample of the album here:

    With all that foliage it looks more like someone's been Close to the Hedge.

    I thought it was universally accepted that this odious berk was the real Penfold doppleganger.

    Harley Benton are reverse engineering them as we type!

    Congratulations on a bold project! Looks great. As for riff requests, it would be great if you did the demo in the style of Ed Friedland or our very own @Dood playing the same short riff/motif through all the different settings.
