Guys I have 7 weeks in London coming up (July and August) so if anyone wants a lesson while I’m in town give me a shout here or direct if you have my number 

Anyone had any experience of using a stand that's suitable for playing the bass whilst in the stand
I have a quick instrument change show coming up...
Thoughts welcome

I'll add a recommendation for Sam wells
Just had my bass back with a new C extension
Sam has done an awesome job!!!

Starting another UK tour on Jan 12th if anyone fancies a lesson should i happen to be in their area feel free to get in touch.

Another UK tour coming up starting in August if anyone would like a lesson if I happen to be in their area feel free to get in touch

I've PM'd you again Ian 😃

You have pm

I'm with Tommy Steele doing the glen miller story
Big band on stage!

Bass not required at this time but I'd be happy to play it and give you some feedback here if you like

Chris are you still in Canterbury?
I ask because I'm on a tour that does a week in the Marlowe as of Tuesday
Perhaps a pint may be possible?

A phenomenal thing... If you're a studio regular this is a major piece of kit...

Excuse my ignorance does the fact that they're medium mean they're not weichs?
If that's the case can you give me an idea of what the tension is like?

Did these sell? are they Weichs?

PM'd

Hector, that sounds like a plan

I'm on tour Gents so if anyone wants to see if I'm in their area, should they like a lesson, I'd be happy to try and work something out.

Thanks Fellas
Ben you have a PM

Thanks Gents..
any more in the mix?
I think I'm headed towards Evah Weichs..
I tried belcantos on a 75k English bass in tofts, by far the loveliest bass I've ever heard. They were great but much more for the bow I thought.

The most overlooked element in the (absolutely) correct 'do it' mantra is doing it in context too.
So get together with other players and read stuff so there is a collective energy keeping you moving forward...
count in and off you go.

I've read the several discussions on one or another type of string but I'd like to have a bunch of recommendations for strings for arco/pizz
I have some work coming doing a bit more arco (currently doing a touring show with a big band) and would like to hear people's recommendations for strings that do both well
I'm currently using innovation silver slaps and can get a decent arco tone from them (my technique is solid) but I know it could be better with a more appropriate string
Chuck some names and reasons at me fellas

What are you moving onto Jon?

freelancing is hard for everyone Rob... and getting worse it would seem.

After an extremely successful fortnight at the Edinburgh Festival this lady is going to be on the road next year... UK tour beckons. I shall post details as soon as I have them.

Is this still available and is there any movement in the price?

I got Chris on the gig!

It's not the first time I've been likened to those two! 😃😃
