At Hellfest in Blackpool last weekend with my 60th aniv Roadworn Jazz, best Jazz I have owned.

Well the bassist made it to the gig and (presumably) back again, so however they did it it must have worked. Thanks again for all the help!

I did. Nice bass - neck profile not for me though.

@lurksalot Like the vibe of this and the style. I has a slight menace and intrigue about it. The riffs are sort of casual, in a good way, but bold and in place and the track flows well, keeping it interesting. Like it.

Or at least tune up before you start playing 😂

yet.. until we get AI tuners

Sex on fire - every band, everywhere.

ultralights for the win! best tuners ever

To me, it's a lot of money for something that's a lot of unsatisfactory compromises. My philosophy is that if you have to think about it that hard you don't really want it.

Nice reminder of why it's good to sound check tonight. Started playing Uprising, lead came in and it just sounded off and I had to pull the plug. Let's try Crossroads instead. I'm convinced I'm out of key. Stumbles to a halt, I say to guitarist "I was sure we play that in A". "Oh shït" he replies "I'm still tuned down to D from last night". Pub gig, not crowded. We played a bit quieter than usual, they loved it, especially the landlord. Our recent rehearsal meant few mistakes and better discipline all round. A good night.

Yeah send it back. Maybe wait for another full on Bongo to come up second hand.

Lights look very professional.

Top Pun. (cue the music)

It's a brand new preamp and harness though, I'll phone bass direct tomorrow. Thanks for quick reply.

Nice one Dave! Thank god for the Zoutons, eh?!

my BasicallyTab site has been updated with PDF tabs in a new Tabloid format, which eliminates page turns and repeats, making for more accurate, and easy to follow tabs. Still has all the tabs from the previous site but now in individual PDF files, plus there are 5 samples available to download to see if the format works for you https://pcroppier.wixsite.com/bassicallytab

I was a Backbeat early adopter. There are all sorts of portability advantages to a backbeat. But the big Bass Board with double drivers is where it is at for me. I want everyone to experience it. It is essentially two of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/Douk-Audio-BS-1-Bass-Shaker/dp/B0F9KN762P/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.cGvkT4Fcj-j_XkgPZA9rxeDwx5B3hTFbRg06HA36tvxJa_STNGLFwG0AtNDRydZrICABWZ5dXGEtuxEjceJPAGSjujMONeFRw7x6ytx_Oi75cvWPtJDdm63ogH5qTe9JgGPMm9YKuJLmD6JlzDTI1A.OoCq2CWh8y3yrMx9n-sf0NxnkZaNL9wy7_NvMk6zVKM&dib_tag=se&keywords=buttkicker&qid=1763928883&sr=8-1&th=1 screwed to a board with a cheap amp driving it. It cannot be rocket science.

Hi, Ive replaced the old Beatles bass book site with a huge resource of 860 high quality tabs from a varied range of artists. They're in tabloid format, minimising page turns and repeats. There are 5 free samples available on site, id love to hear what you think of the format, as for me it makes playing along, and learning the tabs so much easier.
