I spent months rehearsing with a band, having joined on the condition we'd be doing regular gigs Basically I was led down the garden path. They wanted a good bass player, but had no intention whatever of doing gigs. To say I wasn't best pleased is something of an understatement...
-
Crikey, I thought several months of rehearsing without gigging was pushing it a bit and taking the p|ss - er... apart from now, was there no point during the twenty years you suspected your gigging career might not be as productive as it could be??
-
Eh? No! I thought it was a picture of Laura Kuenssberg's buttocks?
-
Beginning to think I should have chosen a lovely picture of a lagoon, or a mountain, or something... I have one or two ideas... it's simply a case of getting them recorded. What could possibly go wrong??
-
Yes well, if you get good let us know.

They say if you get a tattoo you should consider what it's going to look like when you're old... but if I got one, I'd know instantly...

@SpondonBassed My Tena Lady covers a whole coffee table, but she's quite a big girl and it's a very small coffee table. Glass-topped too, but we probably don't want to get into that on a family-friendly forum... as for charging, I have to put the bins out on Monday nights.

Yes, sorry. Obviously there should be some sort of profanity filter. Think of the children!
-
I do my paint spraying in the conservatory. It's currently a lovely shade of shoreline gold...
-
Yes. Bollocks and shitty buggery, all possible. What profanity filter??
-
You're welcome mate, but not entirely sure if I helped or hindered...

It was July, 1971. I was 11 and this blew my tiny mind. Nothing was the same ever after...

True. However I find Fender flats take more playing-in than most before they get to where I like 'em. YMMV.
-
People tend to fit Fenders, instantly don't like them, then remove. But the initial tone you get is in no way representative of what they sound like when played-in, when they get much closer to La Bellas. Well worth persevering with when you consider a 4 string set is around £24.
-
Well excuuuuuse me! At no point in the thread (until just then) is there any indication that you were talking about a five-string set. Thhhppp!
-
Lollipop tuners are great, but not on a fiver. It's a four-string thing.
-
I found Chromes to be alarmingly high tension, but this was way back before I was happy about adjusting the truss rod. I may give them another go, but to be honest I find La Bellas perfect for my needs. There's something about a really well worn-in set of La Bellas... ooh, yeah.
-
I found that too, but Fender flats are cheaper!
-
Not much to be done about it then...
-
Hmm, what does that tell you?
-
I thought it was an 'arrythmia' of drummers...
-
Great, like it. Just the level of weirdness I was hoping for when I chose the pic.
-
Already?? I haven't even got round to seeing if the LSO is available...
-
As 70s Fenders become more expensive, good Japanese instruments of that era are where it's at.
-
That, I like.
