    I could hit you around the back of the head with both and see if you can tell the difference 😆

    Often, chord names are transferrable and a m7b5 and a half diminished are the same thing, just referred to in different ways like a shovel and a spade or a hatchet and an axe. What is more important is the function of the chord in the context in which it is being used. If it is functioning as the seventh chord in major chord scale, I would call it a m7b5. In truth, it probably only matters what it sounds like, not what it is called.

    Just don't call it a Jazz band. That's always a bad idea

    Learn them and then forget it.

    I always thought that having a hobby that brings in more money than it costs it was argument enough.

    Jazzer. Set changes every gig. As do most of the musicians.

    That Jamerson book is great for learning to read 16ths.

    I think it is one of the greatest frustrations in music making - finding people who are interested in playing the music you want to play and who are good enough to play it. The 'better' you are (subjective, I know), the harder it becomes. Even if I could out Jaco Jaco, where is my Zawinul, my Shorter, my Erskine etc? I guess they find you if you are good enough.

    You are very welcome, all of you.

    Phil Jones BG75 Double Four. I prefer to hear air moving than going through headphones. I play guitars through it too.

    The trouble with the nothing to hide nothing to fear argument is that, even if you have nothing to hide, you may have something to fear when the next enforcement regime comes along e.g. if you share information about your sexuality, religion, trade union membership etc. All innocent enough under one regime, catastrophic for individuals under another. Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. Law making has got very slapdash during my lifetime and there are so many unforeseen pitfalls created as a result.

    Sold a bass to Dave. Easy to do business with! Good Comms. Quick payment.

    Why didn't you say? 😆

    It's definitely the bass in the video.

    I am near there, my friend. Let me know if I can help.

    Sold pending the necessary. Watch this space.

    Yeah... Apparently it's a really light bass 😁 (having lugged a Wal around for 38 years, EVERYTHING feels like a light bass to me).
  20. Bilbo
    Full face

    Minor scuffs and buckle rash.

    Yeah. I have had about 5 or 6 basses with a low B (this Marleaux, two Status basses, a Harley Benton 7-string etc) and they just never sit right with me (and the music I play doesn't really require it, if I am honest).

    This bass has done the rounds and has been owned by at least three people on here that I know of. I have no problem with the bass fundamentally but am not getting on with the low B so want to get a 4-string to replace it. This is a video that fretmeister didn't do (he isn't who I thought he was) when he got the bass in the year of our Lord 1492. Nick Latham makes it sound better than I can. The 'kill switch' he is talking about appears, to me at least, to switch the bass between active and passive modes but I may be wrong. I have just put a new battery in it which will save you £3.49. I don't have any specs but suspect they are easy enough to find if you want the numbers. £1000 and it's yours

    The website is back up.

    Another tune from the same album, this is the complete bass part for the tune 'Donde Se Fueron'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/donde-se-fueron-ozomatli/
