Geek99 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 What is the position regarding interested kids coming? We are talking 12 rather one than 18 months so unlikely to stick a crayon or a cake into your xlr socket - (obviously no photos involving said child please) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One twelve- or eighteen-month-old, also fine and I'll teach them to say "Four strings good, five strings better" Twelve eighteen-month-old kids, maybe less keen on that.. 😅 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnt Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 My chances of attending are looking a bit less tentative now, as long as the UK gets COVID under reasonable control by then. I'll probably get ferries rather than fly, since the cost of flights that weekend has shot up since I last checked, and make it a longer trip. overall. I'm vaccinated and should be able to get a EU Digital COVID Certificate. Now to see whether the UK will accept those without making me take more tests or go in to quarantine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just buy cheap gear to make up for your lack of talent. Even cheap-ish gear is as capable as most of us - a nice precision is what you want, back to basics … there you go - first gear engaged Edited June 21, 2021 by Geek99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve thought this for quite some time, they are certainly, as a minimum, their equal, as least in my experience at a bass bash a few years back. I’d love one of @Jabba_the_gut’s builds, especially now as I’m becoming more and more enthralled by short scales and he’s extremely adept at those. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
