Blu De Tiger. This girl is going to go far.
OliverBlackman replied to Mickyk's topic in General Discussion
There is no evidence that this is the case and you’re diminishing her ability with a sexist opinion. -

I dunno, I think you’re doing great things: -

For anyone actually interested in learning more about Blu, this is a fairly good interview. She comes across that she knows how to play bass and looks have nothing to do with it. -
Basschat MM GAS is in full flow this week

I prefer this now. Once picked up a bass in a train station but then found it had a broken truss rod. Seller didn’t care and had flipped the bass I used as part trade.

Ever get that "Didn't realise how lucky I was" moment.....?
OliverBlackman replied to Beedster's topic in General Discussion
I’m clearly not as lucky as you! -
When I got a Fender P bass that was a step up on the Epiphone and Jim Deacon I’d had before it. Then I was gifted a music man SR4 that was a real step up in value and build quality. Probably peaked when I had an Overwater J5 and a Warwick Thumb NT5. Both gone due to finances but hoping to one day add a vintage Fender and a Ken Smith 5 which for me are as good as it gets.

Aha beat me to it 😂

I was wondering how these looked without a scratch plate as a I don’t like the one they use, and saw this on FB! Oooff! Finally the lower horn looks In proportion.

If Sire engaged in a legal dispute I’m sure their margins aren’t big enough to take the hit and it’d have to be passed to the consumer in a very competitive market where price point is one of their key advantages. Probably a lot cheaper to just redesign instead.

Do drugs make you a better player?

OliverBlackman replied to OliverBlackman's topic in General Discussion
I did not! In this day and age though I think it’s unusual outside of snoop dogg and Joe rogan to see an interviewee that’s not sober given that anyone has access to the clip. -
Maybe… but they don’t make you better at interviews! I enjoy the Anderson Paak band but this is a tricky watch and I can feel Ian struggling through some of it.

You can always swap them back out if it doesn’t get you what you wanted. £55 is a score! Some strings are almost that much.

Because most customers have eyesight

Must be late 59 to have tortoiseshell p/g and rosewood board. Looks very 60s to me. Never heard of Shellback either so they need to drop that price by £53k!

The gigs I’ve been to, it’s not kids who are the problem. Even regularly see the same from middle aged and older at football matches!

NBD - Ken Smith Burner Hadrien Feraud Signature
OliverBlackman replied to nickmew's topic in Bass Guitars

That sounds like those end of life parties people now throw instead of funerals… were acting happy but really inside we’re still very sad! Having said that I picked up my p bass for the first time in months and I’m happy again!

There’s been a lot of nice NBDs recently… I’m getting twitchy 🤣
