Kneecap. I gave this a try and I am the wrong demographic. Maybe it’s an age thing but it just sounded like the generic noise I regularly hear coming out of Corsa’s with horrible body kits and the tinny headphones of yutes who like to eat Maccy Ds on public transport with their feet on the seats.

I could swing by Southend on Wednesday, i dont need it though.. that same old conundrum.

wrong place!

Just watching Prodigy. Holy crap they put on a hell of a show. Nice blend of electronic and traditional instruments. Their drummer has serious energy.

A batch recently became available so I ordered one. No sign of it being dispatched, a week after it was supposed to be, and they're showing as unavailable again. I have emailed them but no response yet.

FTFY congratulations @police squad

The rot set in with rolling news. 24/7 coverage of what’s going on right NOW. Content becoming less relevant than immediate impact. It’s now not far off rubbernecking motorway pile ups and gossiping about celebrities. I largely ignore what passes for news now. On a Glastonbury note. Greentea Peng, Black Uhuru, Cymande, Ezra Collective. Just great.

Ouch. That's what stops me taking the expensive stuff - especially on easily accessible/zero stages. Never bothered me when it was the old jeans and T Shirt bands. BTW - Black bass and LEDS!

A P Bass would’ve been fine, but needs must.

I'm still thinking about some of these. For those that have them - how are you getting on now that they have played in a bit?

It's an early 80s Korean-made Cort - sold under dozens of names but mainly Kay in the UK. I had one, it was pretty good, maybe not quite up to the level of similar Japanese basses from the same era, but getting there. Definitely no' bad for £50.

The Mark Bass Advanced Stainless Steel set are a lovely low tension set. Really easy to play. Don't know if they are long enough for you, but worth emailing them.

Cool 😀 there are some low lows there for sure, even though I'm watching an audience recording of the FOH mix, I think.

In 35+ years of playing I still haven't tried one. But they do look lovely. Congrats!

I've got tickets and really can't wait. Not sure my wife is going to enjoy it though, I think the level of musicianship will go totally over her head 😆

Agreed it's a good price. Not sure what fixing up is either necessary or possible though? Other than a missing EQ slider tip it all looks fine. Depending upon the fixing centers, it could be a candidate to ditch the heavy wooden sleeve and mount in a lightweight ABS 19" case?

That looks very nice! Congrats 😊 Played a couple of these over the years - hated the vintage one, but quite liked the modern 2010’s model. Enjoy!

That’s my brother’s mate Andy on bass for the Selector.

No, just an old Kay.... 🙄

Entirely depends upon the desired outcome - freedom from her clutches? A punch in the mouth? An STI?

About 6 months ago I was playing in the Vintage, Wellington which is a decent music pub with densely packed and usually inebriated audiences. Anyone who has played there will know there is little delineation between the stage and the audience. One young woman, tall, willowy attractive but very drunk came up behind me an wrapped her arms round mine whilst I was playing and started a conversation about which songs she wanted. It's remakably difficult to go on playing and singing with 6 feet of drunken young woman draped over you with your arms pinned to your side. In the end her boyfriend who clearly though it was hilarious came up and politely asked if I would like him to take her away. What is the etiquette in this situation?
