In my rather dull day job I have an event company as a client. They hire lots of dance floors, stages and lighting for weddings directly to the wedding party. Is it not worth talking to the venue to see if you can offload the responsibility of the lighting - get the clients to pay for it from someone else? Or, offer lights as a seperate hire, then sub-hire them? These guys are fairly high end but just thought I'd add this to the mix.

I'll be driving from Sheffield to Burgess Hill next Monday if that helps. Happy to take a break in Northampton.

John Phillips of the Mamas & Papas. I was working on the release of his second ever solo album. Woke up in a horrible hotel in Minneapolis, put the TV on and his face filled the screen. Even without the sound on I just knew it was an In Memorium piece. Sad, as there was an incredible re-working of Claifornia Dreaming on the album which Charlie Gillet loved - now his was a shocking death 🙁

Did one rehearsal with him, but was one of those situations where everyone had other priorities, so it didn't take off. Bump in to him at Riff Taff networking.

Ooh, I raise you Pino and Steve Jordan with John Mayer, but then hey, this isn't a competition 😎

Hey @Ned58 - I know your front man. May well see you around some time.

Alternatively, it could be argued that Keith was indeed part of the rhythm section as a guitarist. It's not an exclusive club 😀

Sly and Robbie. adding a belated video...

I know their bass player position seems to be a bit of a revolving door, but the double drummers and (here) Oteil Burbidge are fantastic.

Tedeschi Trucks this weekend. Very excited!

Part of the problem I find is the terminology. Cover, Lesson, Instructional all seem to get picked up by Google and thrown at you when you do a search.

Not sure. The main man has just finished an EP that he played bass on. Very nice that he has already commented on my lines being better 🙂 Hopefully we will do something later in the year.

10 to 12 - adrenaline has a nasty habit of making the set a lot quicker on the gig than in the rehearsal room!

This (both bits)!

So sorry to hear this. If you love the bass keep it. Amp and cabs can always be replaced, but new bass may well not feel the same. Keep it to help with your focus on recovery, and all the very best with that!

Yes, terrible (by a couple of contributors). I guess the silence on my thread is much better 😎

Don't apologise - I think all musical related memorium threads should be in General, not Off-Topic. I've missed a few as I so rarely venture into the murky depths of OT.

Loads of new original material for a new band. Really happy with my ability to learn new parts (been making up my own for last few years), and surprised myself at getting my fingers around some fairly compley bits where bass plays unison with guitar. Looking forward to first rehearsal on Tuesday.

Gulp, forgotten now. There's a mid boost switch, a coil tap push pull on one of the knobs. When the Cort website is up (can't get on at the moment) you should be able to get the full specs from there.

I had one - fabulous build quality, lovely neck. The one thing I didn't get on with was the active circuit - which was designed very much with slap in mind. I'm much more a plug in a P bass and leave it type player, and the 75 just has soooo many permutations! So probably ideal.

I'm glad someone did 😎

She won't regret that...

Will have to see if I can get that. Thanks.
