If I was a drummer she would of just made me quit. 

 

Makes Keith Moon look like he was hitting his kit with feather dusters. 

 

Love the moment at 4.06 when she hits the cymbal and a huge chunk of drumstick goes flying. 

 

Never seen anyone destroy a drum kit quite like that. 

Didn't strike me as too over the top to be honest, certainly not for the genre of music they play.

Chunks of wood fly off drumsticks. It happens, certainly when hitting cymbals at the angle she does.

YMMV, but she's not overplaying, which would really bug me.

Somewhat lacking in description and no obligatory gut shot. I've no need for a fretless either, but it does look nice....on the face of it.

Dawn Patrol - Bring On The Good Times album (2022) - Modern Yacht Rock. Groovy, feel-good music with hints of Steely Dan, Michael McDonald, Toto, Hall & Oates etc

 

 

I was just browsing for something to listen to for the drive up to my Dad’s this afternoon. It’s on iTunes, so I’ve downloaded it. Interestingly, they have it under ‘jazz’ in the genre description. Didn’t think that was your bag, but I’ll go with it 😎

Ooof. That is very nice indeed Barrie.

Tupid thread. Tupid thread title.

not if you have 18 basses it woudn't!

Yeah, in my wife’s dreams I’ve only got 18 😂. 18 sets of strings would still last me decades.

Dingwall strings are great and have quickly become my favourites. Never had a dud string and great tone.BD don’t always have lots in stock so I also order from Thomann - last autumn I ordered 16 sets and they were in stock and delivered within 5 days so no problems with stock.

18 sets would last me several lifetimes and I gig a lot!

Non-stop "Hi-ho sodding Silver Lining" for days to come... 🤮

Use the 'off' switch then. It has a similar effect to the 'block' button on Basschat 🙄.

Sweet. I’ve no need for it, but I like 😍

The buckeye top may see itself as star of the show but that rosewood board has to take a bow for best supporting role. Absolutely gorgeous throughout - I’d love to play this. Alas, shorties only for me now. Just for fun… what’s the nut width and string spacing on this?

The nut width on mine is 40.3mm. One would presume it would be very close to that.

19mm string spacing, but can be adjusted obvs. I would imagine the nut width would be standard Monarch size.

Yeah, I know mate. Already had a chat with Barrie before it was listed. Lovely bass. 

That looks fabulous Barrie. I fitting tribute. Is that 1139 I see on the wall behind him?

Anyone starting a 2023 thread so I can join it and fail miserably ?

Usually @bassfan's responsibility.

Thing is, the +/- number of instruments doesn't give a clear indication of what's going on.

I'm +2 basses overall for 2022, but I'm still £'s in....

Nothing bass related which is just the way I like it. 

Played a particularly busy pub in Hornchurch, Essex which I've just returned from. It was a ticketed affair and was sold out.

Load in wasn't great due to the amount of people we had to get past and I was dreading the load out.

The band leader (it was a dep gig) neglected to let me know that I wasn't the only dep. There was a drummer there that I'd never met before.

Any reservations were dissipated after a few songs. Unbelievably good player. Hooked up with him on social straight away.

We finished playing at 11.20pm and did everything we could to break everything down and escape before it went completely nuts at midnight. We made it out with one minute to spare!

25 min drive home with double the usual fee in my sky rocket. Showered and in bed with a glass of vino by 1am. Happy with that.

Its lovely!! Congrats....What do the mini toggles do?

One is a mid/treble frequency selector and the other provides 20db of boost.

I'm intrigued. Why does anyone need set list software? What does it do? 

 

I've always just written the set list down on a bit of paper and stuck it somewhere I can see it. 

Sharing set lists electronically has been a thing for a while. Save the trees (except when building me a new bass of course 🤣).

OnSong does everything I need it to, even in the free version.
