Its not really news anymore. Its all opinion reporting. You can have two different outlets reporting the same story with the same facts and while one portrays it as a great thing, the other portrays it as utter failure. I don't want opinion, just fact me and fact me hard. There was better reporting on Not The Nine o'clock News

As if Trump and Brexit weren't enough change to be going on with......

Even with 24 hour rolling news muppets the stories break first on social media anyway. Some one will already have filmed it and posted it on toktik or instascam with whatever interpretation they wish to convey.

My band played a short set at my wedding. Didn’t give it a thought then, and haven’t since. If a wedding ring cause issues it may be a technique issue? Also, possibly overthinking, or protesting too much (if you know what I mean) 🤣

I loves a look behind the scenes. Thank you for posting this.

Bass nerd question: what model is the non-66 RI Jazz lurking behind? Also, does this mark WoT becoming a Jazz afficionado rather than the dedicated Precision guy of the last umpteen years?

Im sure they just make stuff up. Any time they quote an anonymous source or "insiders tell us" that just means theyre making it up. And then there's the shouting a question that they know the target would never answer and do it at the same time as a dozen other journalists are shouting equally pointless questions just so they can say "Mr Bottomflaps has refused to comment about the situation involving the Chancellor and a hamster"

Oh, I’ve pushed the boat out. I’m using a tuner pedal 😄

Drop us an email at the shop and we will try and work something out

Or even worse, when they're waiting for something to happen, the whole channel has programmes cancelled while a news anchor says "from our correspondent at... What's happening there?" and correspondent says "we're expecting that X or Y might happen, and here's the building it might happen in, and there may be some people in there who it will happen to or will do the happening". Then it's back to anchor who calls up an expert to do some vaguely informed speculating on whether the thing is going to happen. This is repeated until News can no longer justify taking over the channel for no good reason*. And meanwhile, we're all missing Bargain Hunt! *when I worked for Auntie Beeb, News were incredibly arrogant - they felt that all the other programmes were just filler between news. I'm sure that's true of all news organisations!

😳 that stuff about aliens was true …

Actually one of my peeves there - "Fred Smith got stabbed yesterday in Biggleswade high street, we now go to our reporter standing in the street in Biggleswade' - "Hi, Im reporter, and I am standing in a street in Biggleswade where yesterday someone was stabbed, somewhere down there". Why did they need to be there? "Big change in government policy, going to our reporter live on the roof near parliament' - "Hi, yes, I am standing on the roof of a building in the cold to tell you something that happened in one of the rooms near here".

Hi Hana, for the sheer wide range of your musical tastes, you'd be best served with a simple passive Jazz. The Jazz is sonically very versatile & also suits more hand sizes with it's slimmer neck. You can always add a preamp pedal later if you feel you need more 'oomph'. As for the Japanese 'LawSuit' era Basses, have a look at an early Tokai Jazz Sound JB-45R. There are some lovely examples around. They're often better than the original Fenders from that period, too. Most of all, enjoy your bass playing! We'll be interested to hear which way you end up going
