Beautifully Broken - Government Mule

I've been taking prescription anti-histamines (not the ones you get in a shop) in hay fever season since I've been a teenager. I do have some special beeswax type thing to wipe inside my nose, along with nasal sprays, etc. I once did a big blues festival type gig in Dundee once while having a major attack. It must have looked a bit strange to any eagle eyed punters to see a box of tissues on top of my rig, with the cover behind the cab half filled with used tissues - not exactly rock n'roll! It was actually a great gig in a pretty big packed venue, but I was relieved to get through it...

Fracture - King Crimson

Walrus Canvas Tuner lots of bells and whistles I just want it to tune anyway it works and might be the “fastest “ tuner I have used

Another bloody rabbit hole 😄

Not so good. I only occasionally suffer from hay fever but i'm on daily anti-histamines for past 20yrs or so. Hopefully it'll be ok and you can enjoy the gig. Did get a tip from a guy that suffered badly was to rub some vaseline on inside of your nose to trap pollen. Not tried it but he swore by it. Dave

Seems really fair for a solid bass. Now the fun starts!

Ok, for better or for worse, I've done a deal at £900 subject to viewing on Saturday. I'll report back. Thanks to all for your advice, I'm sure I'll be back for more. All the best 👍

Take a large 18" cooling fan and position near you. I use one every gig with Glam band and it does keep you cooler. Dave

Aha! Thanks for that. It's a bit difficult to follow, since Chordify lags behind the song. Nevertheless, that's a big help.

Nice one Daryl, this is more how it should be for you guys. Should be a fantastic experience. Keep us posted on how it goes. Dave

Hey, thank you so much for your answer! I think I hate active basses/guitars and in general I hate batteries haha, that's why I think I'll probably mod this bass to full passive. The spare hole isn't a problem since I can leave the original, unconnected, pot there or maybe I can add a switch for a serial/parallel thing if I decide to keep the PJ config. What about the original stereo jack? Wouldn't it be compatible with my plan if I decided to leave it? Talking about the Jazz/Jazz conversion, keep in mind that this model has the pickguard... that's why I'm not really concerned about the hole aesthetic and I wouldnt refill and repaint it, since it will be covered (with a new custom pickuguard). Of course it's the hardest part of my mod plan...I don't even know where to put exactly the Jazz neck P.up haha

Ah that's a shame - can't actually see anything - just a tiny blue square with a question mark in it !

Rip It Up - Little Richard

Mine are just absolute staple basses now. 3 or 4 tracks on the album and they’re going out live from July Onwards. very, very happy with them.

Its not about the fee, its about the underhanded marketing. eBay provide a service so should be compensated, no arguement there. But doing it in such a way to hide their fees is my gripe.

I do no exercise because I'm lazy. I do do a bit of practice. The day after a gig, I used to feel as if somebody had been giving me a going over with a baseball bat. I changed to lightweight gear, including the PA - no single item weighs more than 10kg except for my monstrously heavy 11.5kg 2x12 cab. Plus the other band members give me more of a hand lugging gear than in previous bands. As a result, I feel fine the next day.

As long as you play the right notes the scale doesn’t matter!

Just put another P together with a roasted Jazz neck . Same woods as my others but for for some reason this resonates and punches fantastically 👌 Fenders "artic white" body... Yet it's like a cream colour 🤷.
