From Pip Millett to the OG. Part 3 features Donald 'Duck' Dunn’s bass line on Otis Redding’s version of "Try a Little Tenderness".

Did you reach a decision over whether to order in the end?

No. Being in a band is like being married. You have to treat each other with respect or it won’t work. You’ve been fair and honest. Turn off your phone and have an amazing holiday.

I sound similar through both my amps mid shape selected, treble boosted a bit for some snap and bass boosted a little and a little grind on the sound too Sound man at a gig I did a couple of years ago complimented my sound during soundcheck When I joined the U2 Tribe (we The Policed were supporting them one night) they all said how they liked my bass sound

Guys, on Thursday our singer dropped a message into our ‘serious’ WhatsApp group (as opposed to our regular chat which is full of memes and in-jokes). Long story short, it was ‘We need to chat, I’ve got a lot going on and I’m not in a good place. I want this to come out through me and not for you to find out later…etc etc’ Now I’m off on holiday tomorrow with my wife and we’ve been looking forwards to this holiday for literally years (we last went abroad in 2019). So I said ‘that’s cool, but we need this sorted and out in the open before I go away, because this isn’t going to hang over my holiday. 3 of us (4-piece band) could manage several dates and times, but the singer couldn’t make any of them. We offered a group call but he didn’t respond. Today, we discussed the opportunity of meeting tomorrow AM just before I go away, but once again he can’t make it ‘so it’ll have to be when you get back’ in response I left the ‘serious’ group chat with a message saying ‘I’m not dealing with this on my holiday, someone came rejoin me in this group when I get back’ I’m certain it’s p***ed him off as he hasn’t even reached out to say ‘are you ok?’ (I’m not). Unlike the other 2 guys who both checked in with me in no time. Have I overreacted?

Here's my main gigging bass, a '71 of Fullerton goodness upgraded with a Curtis Novak 51P pup and Hosco compensated saddles:

I wanted to give people the option of personalising the front.

head over to Facebook page Rickenfakers. There's normally stuff on there

Looks great, what’s it like to play without a finger rest?

Alice Copper (not the metal)

Alice Pooper!

What’s the stick like to play? Met this amazing Dutch player in a beach bar in Portugal last year, doing a lunchtime music set, and I became a bit obsessed with them for a while. He did a amazing rendition of Roxanne and other 80s hits.

ah ok, never knew that

Alice Cooler

Amice Cooper

Finally made some progress today after a bit of a hiatus New guards cut and pickup on the way, going to go for a single p bass (in p90 form) in the bridge position

Some really interesting discussions happening now around further improvements to onboard patch management/editing. If these come to fruition it’ll be fricking awesome.

I know what you mean, I have preferred seated views in the past few years. The tickets ain't cheap either.

I will have my ric, although maybe too stringy for most

Looking good 😍. Not long now 😁

I don't think it's silly at all. I'd be all over that if I had the funds. It has to be one of the bast examples I've seen and BB's prices are always sensible. The '73 stripped Jazz is a beauty and well priced too and being it's my YoB I'm hoping it sells soon as I could get into trouble!
