Office conference and we had Supershakers. Apologies if it was you and you had to suffer a bunch of pished tax accountants 🤣🍾🥂🎉

Right Here, Right Now - Fatboy Slim

When You Are Old And Gray - Tom Lehrer

A beautiful performance from the 2022 ECM album from trumpeter Avishai Cohen (a stalwart of the SF Jazz Collective), Naked Truth', the tune is one of 9 pieces that make up the Naked Truth long form composition. This is Part 3 of the suite which is mainly in 7:4. An interesting reading exercise. Not a massively quick tempo but the lines is constantly shifting so concentration is required. A lovely part, though, played on double bass by Israeli bass player, Barak Mori. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/naked-truth-part-3-avishai-cohen-trumpet/

Those clever product managers, eh? Making them in different colours for different tastes. Cunning.

Practically any light source will charge the dots. UV is the most efficient, but not necessary. If you really want, a UV torch from Amazon cannot be overly expensive, but not a must. I believe Luminlay contains Super-Luminova from Japan. It's a Strontium based inactive luminous material. Lifetime is decades. (Radio) Active materials (the most common is Tritium) are functional but their lifetime is limited. Half life of Tritium is 12.5 years.

Don't think of the dB as a solo instrument really. Not even keen on bass solos in jazz tbh. I did once see Eberhardt Weber live; it was brill. But does very clever use of a looper, chorus and reverb on an eub count as solo double bass? Cello on the other hand, well ....Bach 6 suites, Britten, Kodaly... ..off to widen my horizons, and thanks for the tips👍 Ps: I got a bollocking at school for messing with the music depts new synth... Despite being a kid who'd been bought an instrument and given lessons to play it ( dad was a cellist). Its just that some school teachers were ( are?) in it to be fontrol freaky with smaller people.

Sometimes I just use a low-gain overdrive into my bass. Si

I couldn't see one on Amazon but eBay has them https://ebay.us/m/DHroEN Catchy name too

80s Killing joke

That looks quite decent, do they make a 5 string version?

Only one low gain OD!? Lightweights. Anything less than three stacked drive pedals and it’s not really bass

Four Out Of Five - Arctic Monkeys

Does anyone even use an amp these days?

So I recently won a beautiful washburn taurus t24 with a slight blemish on the headstock as you can see. My plan is to put in a set of my favourite emg j set pickups with the tko switch as is tradition. My question is in the year of our (over)lord(of music( 2025 - what is the go-to budget bridge? I'm currently leaning towards this type as I had a pleasant experience with the guitar version a few years ago on a headless guitar I absolutely regret selling! https://www.amazon.co.uk/SMZhomeone-Travel-Bridge-Professional-Headless/dp/B0D92GXQX8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?crid=2HTWCP1ETGICZ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.f5jwXg9cdybqVolytNQZSZgftMvACVAOF7pz1CWE5Z2mrls-aaLp72HK9s6fKUGGzQvZDIeWiiE87PrAlR5db6GmE1fWrsK-KPJG6LEYPGeBNOE733OGIC1QB0wI7PAc-qyonJk0fy4O7EL6mzfOi2w_22GRKkF4hpmdUR5LikJKzyqm6ZEcKtQmQq4gZ-QnnbhWT5PCzCimUlgQNvmMqw.VQaeQPr524V86iACZYuv_aPYKxUYt7msCniYIbAqvQY&dib_tag=se&keywords=headless+bass+bridge&qid=1760036757&sprefix=headless+bass+bri%2Caps%2C105&sr=8-3 But I am interested to hear what else is out there

Indeed and the fretless is that very one. Sold a bit after by the buyer who is in Scotland.
