    I can understand that. But still... suh-weet!!

    It does happen, Jack. Not very often admittedly, but it does happen.

    That must have been SUH-WEET! Nice work.

    Big fan here. I saw them live at the Swindon Oasis in 1977. Blown away, especially by the rhythm section. I was actually in love with Tina Weymouth for some time. They were being supported by a really terrible unknown pub-type rock band called Dire Straits. I remember thinking how apt their name was, how unsuitable they were as support for the Heads and consoled myself with the fact that they'd obviously never get anywhere. Ha, ha, ha! How wrong can you be??

    Exactly. I'm all for not wasting time and having a pro attitude (even if it's not a pro band), but there's no need to be a total dıck about it. These people always contradict themselves at some point so can quite easily be deflated. But it's never ideal. The bottom line is, being in a band should be fun.

    My buttocks exploded and I had to go to hospital. Big boys came and ruined everything. My Mum died and I have a bad cold. Your package was sent to the moon by mistake. A leprechaun put a spell on us. There was a bomb scare. We had a change of management. A ghost ate my homework. God made me do it. I don't know what you're talking about. I've got diarrhoea. What's your name again? I'm sorry I don't work here. A bus ran over my knob. I'm sorry, I don't speak English. Look! What's that over there!? *Points, then runs away* Good luck!

    It's his loss. What a masturbator.

    My main issue is TV commercials. I will NOT allow them in the house. Which means a lot of BBC2 and BBC4. OR I will put a channel on pause, go and do something else for a while, then fast-forward through the ads.

    That situation would certainly have raised the temperature of my urine to over 100 degrees Celsius. It's astounding to me how little some 'musicians' value the input of a good bass player (and drummer). They just DON'T get it!

    Damn hell, I keep coming back just to look at this. Somebody please put me out of my misery. Seriously. How can something be so vintage AND so modern simultaneously yet also have such a wonderful patina AND be in such good, clean condition? Auuughhh!! Aero71, I NEED this. You MUST send it to me. We'll discuss the sordid financial details at a later date. They are not important.

    I know. It's bad enough it's a Musician, the fact it's also a white one is killing me. Hnnggg...

    Fantastic bass. I'm getting me one o' them there Custom Shop pickups - records really nicely. Of course the playing has something to do with it, obviously...

    About as much chance of that as Goebbels outlawing radio in the thirties.

    I'm quite sure the fecking thing is watching and listening 24/7 and sending its findings direct to GCHQ. But what do you expect when even your phone can get in touch with your bank? You can't even fart without somebody knowing about it. Mind you when I fart, everybody knows about it...

    My four decades of gigging has taught me exactly this. And it rarely gets any better. Finding people who are on the same page as you is the quest for the holy grail. As long as you know this and accept it, you can start having fun. Well... mainly frustration, with little bits of fun in it. Good luck, everyone.

    And for the rest of time!
  17. discreet
    Yes! And if you watch Mousetrap Monday, full of dead rodents!

    Most TV is very poor now. I mostly use my scary interweb telly to watch stuff on YouTube. Very much enjoying Mousetrap Monday, it's fascinating! Subscribe! https://mousetrapmonday.com

    If you rely on bass playing for a living, then it's just another potential income stream along with all the others you no doubt have running, so it's OK. Otherwise I'd blow it out. I like to feel part of a cohesive unit and that my contribution isn't expendable or negotiable. That situation would be just way too tenuous for me. YMMV.
  20. discreet
    Ahhhhh... Yes.

    I think he's referring to the combo.
  22. discreet
    I bought this one, or one very like it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0795QCFLM/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_uZ4KBb5S8AP8T I believe a RCD (Residual Current Device) is also a good idea. But I expect someone who knows what they're talking about will be along soon.

    I'm no expert, but it could be dodgy wiring at the venue. It's quite serious as even a low-amp shock can kill under the right (or wrong) circumstances. I carry an earth testing plug in my gig bag.

    Rolf Harris?

      That white Ibanez Musician is doing my head in, too. But the current mrs discreet would have my pods on a plate. Hnnng!

      Which do you need more, your pods, or a nice new bass? ;)

      Ha! I have other basses, but only one set of pods. Still a difficult choice though. ;)
