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.

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 😎

Ah, something we can agree on (I didn’t write the thread. You did)

Tupid thread. Tupid thread title.

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

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

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

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

Nice one Spewy. Top job 👍

Let's see who breaks first then.

Go on then. Sign me up.

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.... Out Alembic Spyder In Shuker JJ Burnel Precision Bravewood '66 Jazz Xotic XPJ-1T Chuck Rainey Signature

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.

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

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.

Someone has kindly Dropboxed me 'Strange Cousins', so just 'Corner Hotel' to go if anyone has it?
