My computer feels dirty now.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_(company) To give credit where it's due, the bass playing is the best thing about that video.

Does anyone use thing like Y splitters to separate the bands connections and the connections to front of house? Splitters seem sold out everywhere?

Recently fitted a new pair of Callaghan nickel-plated brass flat-top knobs to my Precision bitzer. They’re the late-’50s heavy knurled style — machined (not cast or moulded), so they have a nice solid feel and noticeably more weight than standard ones. There were £40 for the pair from Charlie Chandler’s Guitar Experience, but totally worth it — they really add a touch of class to the rebuild. This bass started out as a fretless a little over twenty years ago, but I’ve remade it with a new Fender fretted neck and an EMG GZR pickup.

Or mentioning you have a hooker to get rid of...

The Harley Benton B450fl produces a nice tone and is lightweight. It's unlined if that bothers you, but IMO they are preferable and easier to play than lined fretless because the side dots on an unlined are in the 'correct' position(ie where the frets are) whereas on a lined they are the same as fretted bass, which make playing more challenging as the lines are often very faint whereas side dots are brighter. I think it also teaches better habits with fretless too.

@warwickhunt your parcel didn't go to Suffork did it?

232 is less than 245. If you add 1cm to each dimension it is still less than 245. Ombudsman time.

Had the same thing with ParcelForce earlier this month, claiming the parcel was larger than it actually was, saying I incurred a £45 additional charge. Unfortunately for them the delivery driver took a photo of the delivery, which showed their claims were incorrect. Took almost 3 weeks to sort, saying the error was with the courier. Yes, themselves!

Hi all. I would like to buy a fretless bass to experiment with. I dont want to spend too much in case I dont get on with them, however I dont want to spend too little and it just be too crap to play. I'm a relative novice as I have only been learning for a couple of years, and my regular bass Is a squier precision. I did buy an ex demo Vintage V74 icon, but when it arrived all the metal parts were rusted (a story for another day!). I have seen these two which look interesting; Markbass MB Yellow PB https://www.thomann.co.uk/markbass_mb_yellow_pb.htm?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1581403900&gbraid=0AAAAADuDMCWeFnO0JQX-rZw4iDNBcTg5Q&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4qHEBhCDARIsALYKFNNynuLZSElFB10R-ixBYhUfJKWLeht3d_Bc9VqD4X7ZRZOjgLskx50aAhD9EALw_wcB Artist Vintage-Hybrid White Fretless Active/Passive Bass Guitar https://www.artistguitars.co.uk/products/artist-vintage-hybrid-white-fretless-active-passsi-14219?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=11342405749&gbraid=0AAAAADdnIO1sjKbdnYhjcH_jb4b9n_b0b&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4qHEBhCDARIsALYKFNNJHjF3xU5vuoDmoltw0uD1u6nSpno6RUVOVTdLK06Z121B88A7Rb4aAuj_EALw_wcB Alternatively do I spend a bit more and get a squier as I like the one I have and this used one seems good; Squier Classic Vibe Fretless Jazz Bass https://richtonemusic.co.uk/squier-classic-vibe-fretless-jazz-bass-sunburst-2nd-hand/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17621730406&gbraid=0AAAAAD_dMP3oKyr_8sRFLv49Q1revZ_Eo&gclid=Cj0KCQjw4qHEBhCDARIsALYKFNOSDE_kJLxLEgqFjzzGz4kWpU9P-DoX1idMaIxcIeL0H6JAwJG0LwEaAj8cEALw_wcB Lastly do I break the bank and get this Marcus Miller V5 Alder-4 TS FL B-Stock https://www.thomann.co.uk/marcus_miller_v5_alder_4_ts_fl_b_stock.htm Any advice, along with any other suggestions are appreciated!

I think any sturdy tripod type stand with a bar would work if you are prepared to do some drilling etc. I will look at the Tonetech filler as well.
