Of course. Personally I'd have a hard time playing in a band with a guy that's been ripping off other musicians. Maybe they don't hear from bass players he's stolen from.

Only the weight, not much in it though, from about 7.5lbs to just over 8. All play and sound pretty much identical.

10 minutes in and realise.... * mildly surprised Claypool's not English! (dunno how I got that idea) * more "let tell you about my whole life" rather than an interview. A great style and service from Beato * how nice it is to watch YT vids embedded, no ads!

I think, from memory, he’s the guy running the bands. It may be that he’s a nice guy who’s fun to be around and pays well for the band. Confidence criminals can be quite lovely people, it’s the reason they can be successful.

How are professional bands employing this fraudster and thief?

People who buy a house, then put an extension up, or convert the loft, within six months of moving in. If they did it within a month, then it was clearly part of the plan when they purchased the place. If they did it within six years, then the family grew, and needs more space after they purchased the place. But six months just feels wrong.

Not carrying a gun? small portions? International travel?

You’ve seen Police Interceptors too!

He'll get a 12 month suspended sentence, and ordered to pay a victims surcharge of about £500. That'll be it.

It is weird! I was going to say that with round core especially, make sure you've got a nice strong bend in the string before cutting so the core can't 'slip', but it's odd that the others were ok, suggesting you'd likely done that. Don't want to teach you to suck eggs etc

Why would you have turnip with spuds?!? Honestly, to me, that just sounds mingin'. Mark

Haggis, neeps and tatties plus a large whisky is a perfect meal.

I mentioned this on my list posted a while back. I have a Fender Jazz that came with one and I bought it KNOWING the stock white pickguard wasn't going to last long on it. I just can't stand them 🤭

It is not unknown for police to work up a 'Representative Sample" of cases for a longtime perp to plead guilty on, public knowledge as we have seen. I don't know if that then includes the entire case file of open cases getting presented to the judge or it is coded language that everyone understands, used to save court and police resources. I believe there is the expectation that there is enough in the representative sample to get a good jail term by themselves. Perp expects a little leniency for having plead guilty but alternative is going down for the lot so not much discount.

Very nice collection indeed a black/ rosewood p bass with a tortoise guard is one of my favourites 👏👏
