I think this is one of the reasons I didn't used to bother taking a backup for years. "Who does this jumped up twit think he is?" etc. Nowadays I do, but the backup is waiting in the wings, still in its bag/case.

FFS can we please just get back to generic moaning about not being able to afford shiny things whenever we want?

Not at all - no sarcasm. We all get on great and we get next to f all done (probably because of the calmness?)

You can't have either of my highly harmonious, somewhat productive bands, they're mine!

Search for The Inevitable Teaspoons on Spotify or whatever. Will never be a hit because I'm making you search for it. Obvs that's the reason... EDIT - yeah, that didn't work either

Well indeed, the last time we were here I had to have a rather painful fire sale and I'd rather get ahead of it this time and avoid that if at all possible.

I've shut up shop right now. Too much adulting to do. I've noped so many tasty looking things by saying "that's a car clutch", or "that's getting my utilities account back on an even keel", or "that's money I need to save to insure against whatever the next effing domestic disaster is", etc.

That was good fun. Private party in a big old shed, a new one with insulation in the walls/celiings so not quite the echo chamber that some sheds I've played in were. The organisers had prepared well - we even had a large, homemade stage to play on! We got fed and watered and it was a good gig - a small but enthusiastic cohort of dancers, a lot of people stayed outside and listened until later on because it was a warm, dry evening but we got lots of nice comments from people and a decent pay too, more than our usual fee. A worthwhile endeavour. Team G&L FTW (CLF L-1000, with Tribute LB-100 lurking in its gigbag behind)

Hey horse, you WILL drink this water I have led you to.

This question always goes tribal in the end.

I've only recently started taking two, so no, not needed yet, or ever thus far. Figured that after about 15 years I had chanced my arm long enough.

For the longest time, one. I've recently started taking two when I can be bothered, but the second one is in its case/bag lurking in the shadows as it is strictly the understudy in case anything goes wrong. I'm not changing basses part way through a show - it's just rock covers (or original tunes no-one gives a monkeys about) - who is this jumped up so-and-so? Oh look, he's changed bass. Yup, still sounds him, playing a bass.

Death to Jazz basses.

Because his signature is a bit ambiguous, the rest of my band refer to my JC Signature (and me by extension when I wield it) as "Slack Casady". Funny guys

No-one is going to care - take whichever one you feel most comfortable with.

I'm in a no hit wonder band, if that helps?

ANGUS!

Or me, you cheeky bas! Edit: oh wait, I forgot, no-one wants to hear our songs regardless of who wrote them. Now I'm sad.

20 dwindled down to 3 by the end. Bar staff so keen to get the place closed that they helped us load out. What an odd night, grateful for the 3 who stuck around to the bitter end but have to chalk this one down as a bit of a bust. Oh well, private birthday party next weekend, I hope the birthday boy has lots of friends. We'll even accept casual acquaintances!

I think the whole point of the "Paranormal" series is to create instruments that could have been, but hitherto have not existed. As in "spooky, I dreamed about a bass like that" type of thing...

You're too late...

BOO, CAPTAIN OBVIOUS

No, all my basses are used interchangably at home, in rehearsals and at gigs with wild abandon and lack of consideration for the sonic consequences.
