    [quote name='phil.c60' timestamp='1463141285' post='3048946'] I also seem to recall a Take Fat - inlcuding a "Blobby Williams" on a certain TV progamme a while ago! There must be more, surely....... [/quote] Wouldn't Fake Tat be a better name?

    [quote name='redbandit599' timestamp='1463156896' post='3049169'] And a favourite of mine Dread Zeppelin - reggae versions of Led Zep with an Elvis impersonator. Actually, quite good at times! [/quote] When they're good, they're really good - well preferable to Led Zep IMO. (I was going to type "the originals", but under the circumstances... )

    That's a looker, for sure. I love the binding on the F-holes

    I've seen a couple of reworked B2s. BCer Anzoid had one, a slimline version of a "normal" body with a long top horn. I've got another, which was made by BCer yorksfivestringer from a B2 which (IIRC) got run over; it looks vaguely like a Status Streamline.

    I'm just wondering if there is space for the battery to move slightly when the bass is moved. If the battery connection or leads are dodgy or fractionally loose, that might do it. Try moving the battery when the bass is plugged in. (My original thought was that it might be the keyboard player )

    I complimented one of the Four Brothers on his hat once (I think I may have bought him a drink as well?). I didn't realise who he was till later, when he and the rest of the band walked on stage all wearing hats like that

    And while we're at it, here's a Foundation fiver... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USA-MADE-PEAVEY-FOUNDATION-5-STRING-BASS-GUITAR-MAPLE-NECK-PASSIVE-TWIN-PICKUPS/131781409290?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140122125356%26meid%3D61ba2c07fc3c4726827de436c280cb44%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D131779267510

    Nice. It's probably just as well the neck is too chunky for me, otherwise I'd be digging the hole deeper...

    That's not the first I've run across which has been made passive-only. Do their electronics tend to break down?

    [quote name='blue' timestamp='1462911150' post='3046947'] To me, if a guy has paying work to offer he can be as manipulative as he wants. Blue [/quote] If we were getting paid, I'd probably agree. I won't work with her again, for sure.
  22. alyctes
    I'm not actually sure. Probably lack of talent. But the leader asked me about six weeks before "Do you think I'm too manipulative?", apparently seriously...

    [quote name='Cameronj279' timestamp='1462817339' post='3045976'] Necessary? No. Will I ever own a bass without them? Also no. I would much rather have the peace of mind. I prefer the schaller straplocks and they're easy to fit...even I could fit them! [/quote] This. It's not just gigs. I have had a bass come off its strap while I was in a lesson, minding my own business.

    It takes practice, but it's worth it
