54 is late summer?? No wonder I'm feeling the chill.
-
Thats a good point - it needn't be the only thing you do, it could be part of a very busy multi-band situation.
-
I'm no expert, but I'd say it was cold and damp in your basement.
-
With those social skills I doubt you'll get much older, so it's not an issue.
-
You should get 6 or 8 weeks to find the balance. Edit: There you go, wrong again.
-
I dont either, but I'm more likely to believe the type and size of a neck has some sort of bearing on tone. But no one seems to be saying roasting changes tone in any way, despite the claims made for 'aging' of the wood.
-
Has anyone claimed that roasting a neck improves, or at least changes, the sound of a bass?
-
I kind of agree with you in principle but logically there's no reason why a band doing 5 gigs a year shouldn't be a good band. It's all about how the band want to play it. I don't see rehearsals or gigs as social occasions and there's no reason for me to meet band members outside of band activities. But thars just my preference. I wouldn't join a band that didn't gig or record, for me that's the whole point - I don't really understand rehearsal-only bands, but if that's what people want, I'm not arguing.

Yours is probably better.

Also this one for anyone on a budget... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B074MR853J/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_DXECAbAHG70M9
-
Considering what you get, its a complete bargain. You'll pay less if you can snag a used one on here, though.
-
If you set your budget at around £1k youll be more or less in the ballpark so to speak, by and large, all things being equal, give or take.

Always a pleasure to enhance the conversation skills of the membership.
-
Or maybe they're hamophobic..?
-
Sorry, that was a bit ham-fisted of me.
-
That's a lot of money for something that looks like it's been under the sea since 1958. Does it come with a tetanus shot?
-
Not me! I'd rather do a David Cameron.
-
Yes, me too. It's not just because they slowly and excruciatingly try to nail the songs while you, having already nailed the songs, are obliged to stand there waiting and watching with a face like a pair of old tits, it's the fact that they just couldn't be bothered and instead spent their time drinking / playing video games / watching TV / rummaging in their pants* instead. Nothing is more likely to raise the temperature of my urine to 100 degrees Celsius. *delete accordingly.
-
Stability seems to be the reason for roasting a neck, which is fair enough, but does it have any bearing on 'tone'? *Opens can of worms, runs away*

Simply hide some of your leads or accessories in her office - when she complains, accuse her of stealing them and reclaim the moral high ground.
-
What you really need is a bass-playing Pole. This may be more difficult to arrange after Brexit.
-
I'd rather know up front what the score is than be lied to and have my time wasted, as has happened on more than one occasion. Should have known better of course given the number of flakes and fantasists I've had to deal with over the years. Edit: Lots of bands out there who should be called The Flaky Fantasists...
-
I want to see the Freddie Mercury Tribute Bum Clock.
-
I dont know about that. There's a lot wrong with The Guardian, but at least it's not pushing a rabid swivel-eyed Brexit agenda and a return to Victorian no-welfare serfdom, as favoured by certain right wing tax-evading billionaire newspaper owners...
-
Perhaps you could go and work for The Guardian? My old mum and dad read The Mail, I'm sick of telling them that most of it is not true. I think they just enjoy being outraged.
