I've been trying to find a decent video of someone demonstrating a recent non-reverse Thunderbird on clean strings, fingerstyle. But typically, they all seem to play the damned things with a pick! I don't suppose anyone could do me a quick video with their non-reverse T-Bird just some simple fingerstyle playing..? (No pick, no fuzz or drive. Just the bass with clean strings, please?) Thanks in advance 😎👍

It has NOTHING to do with LB's acoustic, and trust me, you do not ned to hear the bass 👍

What a f***ing awful looking instrument, frets aren't even parallel (might be photo), plus why such a wide neck, could easily fit another string on there And then, there's the feedback.....

Hopefully Lee and I will be meeting soon, we’ll do our famed hammed up Version of school days or something…

It seems that I have finally succumbed to the cold that Mrs Norris has been sporting for a week or more. Soapy throat, sneezing, snot. It'll be a long night of paracetamol and adrenaline. To cap it all, I got two tickets for Iron Maiden baby - before I realised this is one gig that couldn't be moved or avoided. Mrs Norris is dutifully depping for me at Maiden with my son while I go off to spend a very long night playing in a barn (setting off just before 5pm - got 45 mins to drink my cuppa then go). It's a ticket do with hired PA, sound guy, etc. I told her to get me a tour T shirt though.

White Cliffs Of Dover - Eric Johnson

Yes.It's a really nice place.Unfortunately there aren't many of these left here in our area. Is the decrease of those little venues a particular symptom just here in Germany or is it the same in your countries?

Mate, firstly glad this has helped Second, if I were able to get up your way to see you lay down that funk, I'd be there in a flash Third, love this f***ing forum and the people who hang here, and @AndyTravis, like @Clarky earlier this year, respect and thanks guys 🙏

Never rains in Pitlochry. Its the centre of the known universe. Gorgeous area, one of my fav areas to drive thru. I no longer stop at Pitlochry these days as its always too busy. Maybe i should visit in winter months. Dave

Sandy - John Travolta / Grease soundtrack

That’s pretty cute. I guess back in the day we’d all have used beer crates!

If it inspires someone then all the 'getting stoned out of my gourd' on acetone fumes will have been worth it 😁

Awesome stage presence - isn't quite the same with only IEMs!!

There's been a few threads from Basschatters who have taken a punt on this sort of thing from Chinese online marketplaces over the years. My impression is it's a bit of gamble, while some have been pretty pleased with what turned up, I think most of the instruments have required at least some additional work to get them up to standard. And , as pointed out above, if you're unhappy enough to want to send it back or nothing turns up at all then the usual consumer protections may well not apply with a Chinese based exporter

I love this build!

Storm The Beaches - Fozzy

I’ll close the JG on the first of July. So if anyone’s hanging on for payday or something, there’s still a bit of time.

I already have a blonde bass .... so my idea was to copy the aged black burst on this Gewa - so I need to get all the sanding sealer off so that the spirit wood dye can do its thang

Dr Gig is a great healer (at least for the duration). The rain seems to have been well south of us and a quick look at the radar imagery confirms it. Arriving here tomorrow, 8-4 apparently. Cloudy and a light breeze keeping things comfortable at the moment.

Hate the stupid sport, merely a brain fart. Anyway, I'll see your ford and raise you a well. Whatever his name, I saw him with the band a couple of times (before he died, obvs!) and he always had his elbows out like that so I can only assume he practiced on the double neck all the time! Last time he also - quite annoyingly - played the bass line to Hold Your Head Up wrong. Dummmdummmdummm dum dum instead of Dum dum dum dummmdummm.

I'm sure you all seen Jacob Collier playing the harpejji , this however is a bass one ❤️ https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1B28ZE3ceA/
