Doctor J Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 I never would have figured that out for myself. Now for a reckless sip of what I presume is room-temperature tea I just made. Quote
Doctor J Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 I can’t wait until every bass purchase comes with end-user safety training. ”No, mate, you’ve got it backwards. The bass goes in the case here and you stay outside and carry it... ...using your hands.” 2 Quote

I would like to make it clear to anyone who is thinking of stealing school property and joy-riding around in it, putting themselves and other students in danger- and to those who would help them- that if caught, you will be spending lunchtimes with me in my office, and will have a letter sent home with you. I hope that after last week's incident you will all have a good, long think about the importance of your studies, and of the safety of those around you. Do I make myself clear? Good, now open your books at hymn numer 94, Autumn Days...

bassbiscuits Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 If I was Yamaha I'd have taken the opportunity to promote their cases as the most comfortable, safe ones out there, guaranteed to get you from A to B in one piece. 3 Quote

[cue out of tune upright piano]" Just before assembly, we used to put drawing pins in the felt of the hammers in our school piano. The music teacher would play 4 bars at the start of the hymn sounding like she was in a honky tonk bar. 4 Quote

Beer of the Bass Posted January 17, 2020 Posted January 17, 2020 Hasn't every double bass player tried to clamber inside their gig bag and zip it up at least once, just to see it they can? It can't be just me!? 1 Quote
