Whiskey lullaby- Alison Krauss and Brad Paisley

Yes it all works with the laptop. I'll investigate whether the tablets, and phone I tried are suitable. Thanks for the reply.

It's a good opportunity to move over to fingerstyle! Sounds like you've had a good latter part of the year. It also sounds like there isn't going to be an advert in Basses for sale saying "Just don't get on with five strings".

I don’t suppose this offering from a fellow German company helped https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_beatbass.htm HB Beat Bass

Quite a busy night for me last night, finished up bassing for about half the acts on. Some songs I knew, some I'd done before and had written the chords down for, some I could read the chords over the guitarist's shoulder, and a couple I just had to wing (but one was four chords and the other was two). I'd been using the TC BAM200 and homebuilt Plenty cab, but last time when the guitars got a bit loud and I turned the BAM200 up to match them it started sounding a bit shouty (for want of a better description) so I decided to use the Tecamp Puma 900 instead and it was much better sounding.

Talk about getting everywhere - this was from BBC sports personality of the year last night!

To my mind the fact that Chris Wood, a highly creative virtuoso player known as much for his electric as for his upright playing, chooses to use a Hofner pretty much exclusively (occasionally seen with a Fender also), speaks volumes. I've never played one and often thought about it, but then remember that I really don't appear to get on with short scale basses

I stand corrected, I should have known as I had a “project” Jack bass for a while.

Yes, I have. I think the tally is two ski trips to Jasper, three to Banff, and 1 to Panorama. The only summer trip was to the Yukon as part of an Alaskan trip - and that was 30 years ago... Last trip to Banff was about 20 years ago. As a solo traveller, ski trips are expensive anyway, but Canada gets very expensive because the hotel rooms are family rooms and so the single supplements are large. I have never skied in the US (and won't now at all) as the price gouging for single travellers is even worse. Also, it's generally more expensive as Canadian ski pass costs are more than 50% more than say French ones, equipment hire is also more expensive than in Europe. I'll have to wait to getting signed-off from the injury before committing to booking, but I'd expect to make it to Banff around January 2027.

It would definitely make a difference, thats for sure

Absinthe Makes The Heart Grow Fonder - Dean Martin

I have a budget of around £1500, so which model, new or used would you recommend please. I've never played a Spector before so I don't know a lot about them. My search for a Warwick Streamer LX 5 that I missed out on a couple of years ago on here are very hard to find unfortunately. Thanks in advance, Woody.

Just anchor your hand near the E and move to B when you need. It’s about your mental approach not whether you use fingers or are pick-weird 😛
