@SpondonBassed - do NOT respond to this comment in your usual manner. 🤭

The Alex Blake bass part for the tune '(You Must) Meet Benny Bailey' from the 1985 Grammy Award winning 'Vocalese' album. Great arranging and some great bass performances across the whole record but this one swings like a mofo! https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/you-must-meet-benny-bailey-the-manhattan-transfer/

Don't care. It's irrational, remember? I still hate regardless of what the dictionary says 😘

Hi: We've just moved in to a house; I need you to build an extension within a month, starting with planning permission. -or- Hi: We've an offer on a house and if it's accepted I'll need you to commit to building an extension within a month of moving in, but we don't have a date for that and since we don't own the property we don't yet have planning permission.

In theory a decent idea. However in practice, especially for live use, every additional connection adds another point of potential failure and a patch bay will add 2 for every device connected to it. Also connections that are made and broken on a regular basis tend to be the ones that fail first. If you find yourself changing the routings you use on your pedal board a lot, there are two things you may want to look at: 1. Have your patch bay normalised so that the most commonly used configuration is hard wired into it without needing any additional patch cables. 2. Look at one of the MIDI controlled routing systems where all your devices are attached to a master controller unit and the various routing are made from that.

Most decent building contractors have a waiting list of at least 6 months. A tax on property over £500K may sort this out though particularly in London and the South East.

Planning permission takes ages to get passed.

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?
