As much as I want to enjoy and respect music, most of these Glasto performances have been dire. To the point where it almost feels like a giant windup. Listening to the intro glowing BBC intro then being confronted by the performances is a curious test of sanity, and gullibility. Hope others are enjoying it more than me!

For everyday noisy environments like a pub, I use Loops on a low attenuation (this helps to understand speech). Loops on higher attenuation for when playing acoustic drums with standard monitoring and when it's IEMs I use with a limiting preamp to stop high levels. For sleeping I find the Bose sleep buds help distract my tinnitus. In fact I use them regularly when travelling rather than noise cancelling headphones.

It is turning into a bit of a saga.

Did Jameson or Jaco need a pick?

Lion Eyes - The Eagles

yeah a white n black is on my wishlist, I like the black hardware too but at the time you couldn't get a chrome one and just wanted that look 🙂

Totally. The form factor on these basses is spot on...

Tiger Feet - Shuwmuddywuddy

13 year old Renault Mégane Sports Tourer, doing approx 6,000 miles a year.......£135.17 for the year.

They hang a bit strangely with the neck strap button in the original position as they tilt forwards (assuming the same thing happens as on the Hohner B2). I have seen a picture of one (must have been a Hohner B2 as it was natural finish) with the strap button moved to the shoulder but never managed to find the picture again.

This is literally true though! The change in mass is given by the m in E = mc², where E is the electrical energy. You must have some amazing kitchen scales, however.

This 100%

The new Thunderbirds are very good...not to mention they have more than two or three finish options...but I still think the Classic Pros are number one. Not to mention, I'm a big fan of the black hardware and pickups...had a Alpine White one years ago. (Yeah, one of those basses I should've never sold.)

A 15 year old Merc C350. The Saga quote would seem to be for an Aston though. About twice the next highest quote.

Members of the Hallé playing works by Steve Reich, joined for one of them by Jonny Greenwood on bass. Superb music, which you don’t get to hear performed so often. The bass part wasn’t technically difficult, but God forbid you lost your place 😁

Yes I discovered his family name was Peakman and knew that he had issues with drinking. I wasn't going to share that but it seems it's well known out there already. Here is an article I found in our local paper about Lorne from 7 years ago. A video too. https://www.plymouthherald.co.uk/news/meet-ex-homeless-man-who-1304951 It's all very sad that he is no longer with us and I don't doubt that although I never knew him, I'll think of him everytime I pick the guitar up 🙂

I play the Bass (es) I want to play on a gig I don't own any "new" instruments and most have scars - marks The bass the punters talk about is the L2 Steinberger - and that's all about it's appearance

Picks are for guitarists- you’ll go blind

JJ of Biffy throwing in a Gibby (Grabber/G3) to back Alanis’s bass players LP. Great sound too.
