It is arguable that Apple Juice is more potent than a JD, especially when diluted with cola.

The pain and discomfort of the headache will do more harm than a few paracetamols.

I can think of 3+2 examples but not many 3+1. Could they potentially be under license? The prototype Z series had 3+1 but IIRC Sire were threatened unless they modified it.

Many years back a mate of mine downed a bottle of Jack Daniels on stage for maximum rock n roll effect - it actually contained apple juice.

Back when I used to race downhill mountain bikes, I "borrowed" a couple cans of redbull from a team who were sponsored by redbull. The cans were marked "For Athletes Only" I excitedly took a swig of the special energy drink and the cans were filled with water. I guess it's entirely possible that alcohol manufacturers make special bottles for musicians filled with something non alcoholic.

Other manufacturers do basses with 3+1 headstocks. Although, I suppose, most of them don't look (or sound) quite as much like the original as the Sire Z-series does...

Thank you to Mike and the Scrumpettes for your work over the years. Hopefully someone can take things on.

I had a similar experience, the guitarist turned on is new Wireless system and the mixer disappeared. One of the problems with 2.4GHz is that, as well as the overuse of the band, Wi-Fi channels overlap. 5.8GHz do not, having a guard band between channels. To avoid any issues, you should also do a scan using your phone. iPhone and iPad have a utility called Airport Utility that allows you to see any close networks. Also, you must secure your network AND hide the SSID.

I only managed to come to the last one but thoroughly enjoyed it. I had actually started to plan for the next one. Thanks very much for all the hard work that the whole team have put in. As I organise the NW Bass Bash, I know it doesn't just happen and the more effort you put in, the easier it looks to everyone. Yours looked very easy Hopefully somebody might want to pick the SW Bash up for this year (he says hopefully). Rob

It has occurred to me that there are famous musicians who are associated with drinking, drug use, etc. who still manage to be healthy enough to be touring musicians in their 80s and I can't quite tally the 'rock and roll lifestyle' with reaching old age in good health. I am suspicious that there's not as much riotous behaviour as we'd be led to think. We went to a small rock festival of cover bands back around 2011 and quite a few of the musicians on stage were drinking straight from 70cl bottles of Jack Daniels in between songs. Call me dubious, but I strongly suspected they were full of Irn Bru, or similar as they were all playing extremely well, not at all inebriated.

Sad to hear it too, but thanks so much for the work you, Gabrielle and the Scrumpettes all put into it. I really enjoyed the three I went to.

What new gear should be produced?

Even if its similar price to America, the higher quality would still be an advantage. -
NBD - Fender Japan Traditional Collection 2025 Precision Pearl White
Bassassin replied to Delberthot's topic in Bass Guitars
I hope whoever you borrowed it off didn't pay much for it, thinking it was a hand-made one-off. I think I paid about £40 for mine. -
Will post back if I get any dropouts, haven't so far, but early days. I don't think I had any dropouts with the U4 (although I did have a total transmitter failure) so maybe I just don't go far enough! I also haven't had any inteference with any of the other wirless stuff.

Sad news. I only managed to make the one last year, but it was fantastic. Thank you to all of you for the work you've done organising over the years.
