It's just community policing, random patrol, just some visibility - is it not standard practice elsewhere? A couple of them come in, have a wander around for a few mins then leave. Time enough for a bit of 'Priest tho

Worst. Headstock. Ever. Winner

You're too late - @Cosmo Valdemar already has a crick in the neck

You're on a hiding to nothing - he'll always take her side, and that mild attempt at compromise is as good as you can expect. Does it matter if you both play it? Will she bugger it up, is that what you're worried about?

I think the 3+2 is best viewed horizontally, to my eyes vertical orientation accentuates the "melted" look you describe.

Well, I'm going to fly my freak flag high for the G&L headstock and say that I think it looks great. Love the "eye gouger/bottle opener" and the CLF headstock is fine, if unremarkable.

Ok

This thread, again?

I can't even sell a £250 bass right now, it's not the prices.

I get the feeling that the Wanted forum is a bit of an echo chamber, it seems very few people go there, there's no way to bump things, so once your thread goes off the first page it's pretty much gone. I don't think I've had any success from putting a requirement up in there ever. Feels a bit like peeing in the sea to be honest.

It used to be nada fees, that's my point.

Those have been few and far between recently, the greedy tightwads. I've taken advantage of that a few times before.

Done it a couple of times. One time they knew exactly what we were up to, got a nod from them on their way out

In my experience, a blended approach is best. I like to have a set list, and it's carefully thought out and curated. I'm not afraid to change it on the night depending on what happens though. If the police enter the venue for an inspection and we're away to start a new song, you can bet your life that we'll just jump straight into "Breaking the Law", for instance... Also, no-one wants to wait for a committee meeting to come to agreement on the next song. Seen that happen before with bands without set list, cringe.

Yarp, it be slow out there.

I guess I would include anything on Portishead's "Roseland NYC Live" versus their original recorded counterparts - the addition of the orchestra does take the recordings somewhere else, in the sense that I ended up preferring them to the original output.

I have one of these bags. They're fine as far as carrying a bass is concerned, but I find that weird shaped front pocket annoying - won't take A4 paper.

I flit between three favourites - neck only, neck and middle (series), middle and bridge (series)

That'll keep your mind off your tuners for a while

That's nice. Unless the tuners being replaced broken, you'd be out. Can't it wait until next year? That's kinda the point of this whole exercise. They work for now?

Probably not. Me, I quite like the headstock of the D5 - with its cheeky nod to the '51 P headstock

No, sorry, I don't own any active basses right now. I might be buying a Sire Z7 when they become available at the end of July...

Yup. Which makes the improptu sniper-like accuracy on the Ab detune even more remarkable!
