Bowie used one openly. Many well known artists use prompters that look like monitors. I don’t have an issue with them.

Tried listening to Adele today.........
hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to Beedster's topic in General Discussion
Well, I guess it might be something like this one. I’m a huge fan of Adele. Great voice, great writer and she’s very funny with it. Scroll to 4:45 if you don’t want to hear the song. -
There's a bit to unpack here. You picked it up, yet didn't test it? If you collected it, why didn't you take it back? Why wasn't the seller approached to contribute/cover the repair cost? Is the seller from BC? 'never trust anyone'? You're seriously sticking with that?

If you’re referring to parallax error, the photo was taken head on. Questionable saddle positions and string spacing as well which of course are easily remedied, but FFS, if you’re asking that much for a bass, at least make it look presentable.

Have you ever paid to play a gig?
hiram.k.hackenbacker replied to hiram.k.hackenbacker's topic in General Discussion
We didn't intend to. Events just conspired against us. We still haven't been paid through the electronic system for the gig in question. I'm assured payment will be received by September 20th. -
Someone give the headstock a whack and bring those strings over. Could park a bus on the real estate G string side.

No, they don’t pay in cash. -
We did. My covers band played a gig at a local pub. The night went very well and after we finished, the pub emptied and we started breaking down our gear. I was aware the drummer and guitarist were talking to one of the staff and I presumed it was regarding a re-booking. I carried on packing and then went to get my car which a 5 minute walk away. There’s nowhere to leave a car at this pub. Upon my return I discover that one of the staff had paid the guys in cash, which had been divided into four. The keys player was given his share and headed home. The manager then appeared asking for the cash back as the pub is owned by Greene King and that we have to invoice for the band fee rather than take cash which was offered in error. We handed back what we had left and the drummer had to go to the cash point and get cash out to repay them. You couldn’t make it up. Probably sounds like I’m moaning, but I’m not as they are actually very nice people and mistakes do happen. We had a laugh about it and joked that none of has heard of anything similar happening….but I’m sure it has….hasn’t it?

Sold a Fender bass to @Brucegill last week. Very smooth transaction and a jolly nice bloke as well. Recommended to all. Thanks again.

Couldn’t really get anymore disco unless it had flashing LED’s as well. I’d like to try one.

Do drugs make you a better player?

Nearly two whole pages and no mention of Hawkwind! -
Given all the above, anyone would be perfectly justified in asking 'if it's that good, why are you selling it?'. Well, I'm knocking on the door of 60 (mid 30's by Basschat standards) and I have a lot of very nice basses here, many of which are just being stored. The ones that don't see daylight are most likely never going to, unless I sell them. I gig quite a bit, but my Shuker is my go to and I also have another very nice Lakland Bob Glaub 44-64 P (also from @three) to back that up. P.S. Don't start getting any ideas @Chiliwailer and @molan - the Modulus and the Ritter aren't part of the culling 😎 You'll be the first to know if that happens 👍.
