The House Where No-one Lives - Tom Waits

I've seen people that do that. You're up there performing and they want to have a conversation with you. It's like they're saying; " You're not doing anything important so this is ok". Daryl

Nice one! The Thunderbird Classic IV Pro is a solid choice. Great tone and feel. If you're into building your own, The Guitar Fabrik offers DIY kits. It's a fun way to get exactly what you want (especially for the finishing) and learn a lot along the way. Here is the link to their Bass Firebird model: https://guitarkitfabric.co.uk/products/bass-guitar-kit-tb-ebony.html

For that price, you could also grab a DIY kit from The Guitar Fabrik. They have great Precision and 5-Strings Jazz Bass kits that let you build your own bass from scratch. It’s a fun way to get exactly what you want and learn a lot along the way! - https://guitarkitfabric.co.uk/products/bass-guitar-kit-precision-style-ebony.html - https://guitarkitfabric.co.uk/products/bass-guitar-kit-jazzmaster-style-ebony.html

That buzz of wanting to learn bass is awesome! Start with songs you love and just groove along. Don’t stress speed: feel the rhythm and have fun with it. Before long, you’ll be making your own grooves that get everyone moving!

Thanks for the tip! That preamp looks like a great option for boosting the Stingray’s sound without spending a fortune. I’ll definitely keep an eye on those batches. Appreciate it!

My tiny little PJB C2 handles a low B with aplomb. It just isn't very loud. Spilling .

So what you are saying is "ability to drive 2 ohms is not a necessity". Problem solved. Nothing to see here. You can all go home now.

Gemnjus not helpful. "The concept of "terminal velocity" as it applies to a bass guitar is not a standard measurement or a practical consideration. Terminal velocity usually refers to the constant speed that a free-falling object eventually reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance. While a bass guitar dropped from a height would experience this, it's not a meaningful comparison between a Precision Bass and a Jazz Bass. The key differences between these two basses are their neck profiles, pickup configurations, and tonal characteristics, not their aerodynamic properties. "

"For interest I looked up the Trace Elliot 1200. I was very disappointed to see that it is incapable of driving a 2Ω load. In my mind such a capability in a bass amp is almost a necessity!" OK, you were lamenting.

I brought my Barefaced One10 home from That London in the topbox of my Tiger (illustration is of Tiger and topbox, not of the landscape en route): However, the sound quality of any LFSys speaker (judging by my BC 112 which is the distant ancestor of same) is definitely higher than that of the One10.

Did you have to take the dead body out first?

Quiet Town - The Killers

It seems Olivia Rodriguez hate chanting supreme court judges has no legal consequences, which seems oddly unbalanced.

The Guardian was impressed, although the review was largely gibberish. "The 1975 at Glastonbury review – amid the irony, ego and pints of Guinness, this is a world-class band Perhaps joking, or perhaps not, Matty Healy pronounces himself ‘the greatest songwriter of my generation’ – and that’s only a slightly ridiculous statement"

So an update on these questions. It's too early to say and I'm not in a position to say because I only joined the band a few months ago. The main person in the band, Andrew who's band it is and named after, spotted me at a gig and basically said he needs me in his band, approached me and here I am. However, I am just his bassist and no more. Andrew has however played Glastonbury for about the last 13-15 years and has supported Marrilion, released albums and written music for TV and adverts. That is as much as I know. So financially I can't say but from what I know artists do have to pay for tickets (I didn't) and Andrew did but I'm not sure if he gets any for free or reduced rates. I don't know if every artist has to or if it's just the smaller artists. Maybe the big named artists do as well but I really don't know what their arrangement is with the organisers and getting to play. We did however get treated very well as an artist and get ferried about, fed with our own facilities. In regards to playing 4 shows, we were offered these slots but possibly due to Andrew's contacts. Next time in 2027 if we play, we are aiming for the Greenpeace stage. We sold a few vinyl records but to be honest, nobody wants to carry a vinyl record around with them all day, plus we saw no band, small or large selling any merchandise, it was only the official Glastonbury T-shirts that were for sale.

Mark and Lard? They used to be my soundtrack for going to sleep in the early 90s! You could hear people singing along to Neil Young's acoustic tracks.

The Sound Of Silence - Paul Simon

Amazing thank you. It was super cool to find an old Trace Elliot GP7 combo on stage for me to use. It sounded fab.

I've just got back and I must say it was super enjoyable. It was my first Glastonbury but I was also playing 4 shows so slightly different being there as an artist rather than a member of the public. We did get ferried in and out, fed and in a quiet camping area with only about 20 tents. I will also say our facilities were ace with soap, running water, sinks, toilet paper and food and drinks. Highlights for me were Ash, The Script, Alanis Morissette, Cliffords and Badbadnotgood. Neil Young was also really good, just for his band and the guitar shredding. The best though was a band called The Coronas, they were absolutely incredible. Also watched Alessi Rose and despite not being my thing, she was very good. Her bassist was using a black Fodera. Also saw Tom Odell and again, not my thing but very good. Watched a bit of Kneecap which was interesting and then they sat near our tents today so had a chat with them. Our drummer went to see Biffy Clyro and said they were his highlight and Weezer was also really good according to our guitarist. The worst was 1975, absolutely dreadful and people were walking out. They were so bland and a cross between background music and Busted. Pulp were a bit boring but I've never been a fan so probably wasted on me. The ones I did know were good and Jarvis Cocker is an awesome frontman. Haim were also really disappointing. As for the flags, every other flag was a Palestinian one and it became a bit of a running joke as so many artists were making a statement at some point during their set.
