I have never told anyone how to play the bass. I'm probably doing it "wrong"...

Oh well, as long as you're managing OK, then everyone must be managing OK, right? I'm sure there are people on the Aspergers/autism spectrum who are having a lovely time with this right now.

I'll give you a fiver for it... sorry, said it before someone else does...

Take me out back and put me out of my misery - I am dismayed at the amount of time it took me to retrieve from my tiny mind what HPF stood for...

Yes, I do. There's not much else interesting about me to talk about, I work in IT FFS.

ADDITIONAL - I got rid of it with uBlock Origin (right click on the orange blob, choose "Block Element", accept the settings that pop up (they work) and boom, it's gone. That's Chrome on the desktop, ymmv in other browsers/platforms. It would be better if we didn't have to get rid of it ourselves...

Install uBlock Origin, right click on the orange pest, choose "Block Element...", accept its plan to vanquish it, boom, it's gone. That's in Chrome on the desktop, ymmv in other browsers.

Make the eye catching orange thing go away please. "Privacy"? Frankly, with it hanging around distracting me, I don't feel like I have any.

I was expecting an in-depth discussion about how noise reduction works...

That's a new one on me too. Sure, there's always the indignant "what do you mean you don't know/play <insert obscure track, or something that clearly can't be done by a four piece with one guitar>?"

Yeah, 1100 miles in a 13-14 year old, 128k miles s#itbox, damn right I've got AA membership Also have RAC through my car insurance, but dunno what level of service that is ('cos I never asked for it, it just happened) Cheers!

Gig was actually Friday night, but hey ho. Butchers Arms in Inverurie, and it was a decent night. Started off slow, but we were grateful to a couple of lassies who were determined to dance and make the most of their evening. It got busier in the second half and ended up being a decent show - decent enough for me to do some audience bass machine gun strafing at the end of a couple of songs. We did have one guy at the bar indicate that the singer needed turning up - right at the start of a song and continued to signal as such and get annoyed that we weren't doing anything abotu it. Sure, man, I'll just get right on that with my third hand 🙄 G&L Tribute LB-100 was the weapon of choice. Amp behaved itself.

The mods are in on it... PHRASING

I'm as parasitic as they come.

I'll squeeze them in somewhere...

Well, it fits! I think I have a plan for the Markbass cab too. Then cover it all in a blanket and hopefully it'll all be fine. Also done some road trip prep work on the car - unclogged my rear washer nozzle, emptied the water out of one of my rear light clusters (bloody condensation), fitted new front wipers as the old ones weren't clearing so well. Two weeks to go...

It's the only thing I'd change about my G&L Tribute LB-100 - the vintage tint has been applied a bit too enthusiastically and it looks like it has jaundice.

Found it in the second to last place I could think of! Only used a handful of times - just checked and thankfully the batteries hadn't leaked through disuse! Will this work?

I may struggle to find it, but I think I have one of these going spare *somewhere* that you're welcome to. Barely used. Hold that thought...

I think this is going off the rails. There's a big difference between someone flat out saying they don't use PayPal and someone referring to some nebulous, undefined "issue" with their PayPal. I'd definitely have issue with the latter.

Good opportunity, stars don't often align like that. And I totally agree with you on Gibson at the moment. They're not dead to me, but they're definitely on life support.

You must have played both then.

Hmph, doesn't sound like they know what "professional" means. And they have the nerve to make it seem like it's just plug and play - that's pretty disingenuous

If it helps, I don't know anything about Jaco apart from "he was a famous (fretless) bass player" and I've no real desire to find out. If I've heard him play on something it was an accident.
