There's a website that presents stories from multiple former members and catalogues existing court cases in Argentina against the bandleader. But since it's sensitive material relating to a current UK police investigation, it's presumably not one to share on basschat. -
A few of the comments on the video refer to musicians being unpaid or underpaid for their work with Old Time Sailors. -

That's definitely worth remembering for anyone looking to buy one of these. I'm sure I mentioned it elsewhere on these boards sometime ago, but when I briefly had a Mooer Prime P1, I noticed the Bluetooth audio sounded weak compared to my original Mighty Plug. After testing, I realised it was the MP at fault, artificially boosting the low end. The P1 had other issues, but that's another story!

Hi folks, more stuff from the spares draw. These are very lightweight tuners and the one that Low End Lobster has been fitting to his Sire basses as a drop in replacement. This is effectively a set for a 5 string bass with a 4 over 1 configuration. They are currently fairly scarce and the G string tuner seems to be particularly hard to find anywhere at the moment. Prices are: Set of 4 in-line - £105 inc. P&P to UK mainland "5th" G string tuner - £35 inc. P&P to UK mainland Set of 5 tuners - £130 inc. P&P to UK mainland Here are a couple of pics and the link to Lobster's YouTube vid on the subject. -
I’m going to keep that handy too if I go for a visit (I really need to move some gear on and that violet Pulse 2 keeps looking at me).

Thats what I thought but.. https://www.cornwalllive.com/news/cornwall-news/old-time-sailors-blast-hate-10204971 "As part of this investigation, we have arrested six males on suspicion of modern-day slavery offences. We appreciate the activity may have caused some confusion and concern amongst the local community" - the band leader has done a runner. -
I'm sorry, what?! -
So is this part of the same story or has the world gone a little mad? I hadn't heard of the Old Time Sailors, so I did a search on them and it seems they are tied up on a modern day slavery probe in devon? I mean that sounds a bit worse than just nicking a few songs.

I'll try to remember that!

Made in Japan, well used with plenty of scratches (see photos). Plays and records really well. No whammy bar. I’ve used it for home recording and it sounds fine, good variety of sounds. Only my playing lets it down.-

Yeah, think the only tool I've ever trusted that came with a bass was the metal stick you sometimes get when you've got a truss rod with a wheel adjustment. Anything else, I use known, high quality tools from my days on job sites. Wera makes up most of my travelling tool kit, though Music Nomad make a tidy little kit, though it's a little pricier than most might be willing to spend for a small kit. Handy in a pinch though.

Lovely. -
I hadn't encountered them before, but having looked at some videos, I'd probably leave if they were on somewhere. It's like theme park entertainment, and I'm fairly sure it's not played as fully live as they make out. I feel bad for the rank-and-file members who don'thave much choice once they're here - the ringleaders not so much.

Using column PA speakers as stage monitors?
dave_bass5 replied to Beedster's topic in PA set up and use
This is what I find. Although our backline could fill the rooms and we'd get told to turn down, having the band turn down a bit and putting just a bit though the PA seems to give a better mix, without really getting any louder (or at least, not too noticeable). Unfortunately, as I pretty much have to do the sound from stage (basically set and forget but I do have the iPad close in case I do need to change something), I dont have our lead guitarist in the PA as he still hasn't got his levels sorted out, nor feedback control), and I dont want to risk that through FOH. -

Sandberg California II VS4 - Black Soft Aged
warwickhunt replied to RickW's topic in Basses For Sale
I've got a couple of them already but it's black one I'm after as I have a black 79 P bass specifically for one project... and it's a bit of a lump. -

Great fun. Some nice stuff going on there.

It's probably fine because you're not going to be sending anything confidential, but in general I'd avoid any site that doesn't use https, especially if it has a login (like this one). If you sign up and use a password that's the same (or similar) to one that you use somewhere else then you're leaving yourself open to being hacked on those other, more important, sites.

Going to go out on a limb here and speculate that the case isn't......
-
It’s certainly easier on the shoulder than my ‘73 precision. the neck is fantastic and the soft aging is really cool.

I have a Japanese Jazz (a 62 reissue) that I bought new in Denmark St in about 1990 and it's been my sole bass (guitar) ever since. I try other basses from time to time (as well as the usual GAS browsing) but I haven't tried or seen anything that I prefer so I reckon that's it for me. Having said that, if I played more gigs on BG (as opposed to DB) then maybe I'd stretch to a fretless or 5 string.
