Just found https://en.toutlehautparleur.com/loudspeaker-components/paint/warnex-1kg-professional-paint-pot-black-textured-special-for-enclosures-honeycomb-roller-application.html - 1kg tin of Warnex for 25EU plus whatever getting it across the channel will cost. Black and grey available. Should cover up to 3 cabs.

So Roland are re-inventing the PiPedal.

I'll bring a Sei or two, an Antoniotsai, maybe the Esh Poseidon V, a BC cab or two with amps to match (TC BAM200 and Tecamp Puma 900 should do), maybe the Barcus bass and the Shuker if I've got it back from Jon by then. And if something interesting happens to the OLP Tony Levin, I'll bring that too.

Tuff Cab is Blue Aran's own brand and they're not stocking it, so it looks like one ingredient must be unobtanium. Edit: or Aldcrofts have stopped supplying them. At £72.50 for 5kg and no smaller quantity available, Aldcrofts aren't cheap though. https://www.aldcrofts.com/product-page/c64-31-matt-black-speaker-paint

I want to be sure of a good reaction from the ladies in the audience.

I may try it at the next open mic night.

I see we had the same thought.

Just wondering the same myself. There appear to be Tuff Cab (available in white or yellow only, nothing else out there), Granotone (5kg for £60, 800g for £25), and DuraTex (£100 for 32ml - that's just over six teaspoons, although it seems it's really a pint which would be more like 550ml). https://www.amazon.co.uk/DuraTex®-Furniture-Application-Water-Based-Professional/dp/B0CTS54R8X?th=1 Hammerite?

I'll battle through. One bit of news I forgot about - there's a young lad called James Bartholomew who does Tamworth open mics, and played bass for the organisers of the three Tamworth/Shard End/Chelmsley Wood open mics I go to. His band Jayler have just been chosen to support Deep Purple on their upcoming European tour. As I'm now house bassist for those open mics, I'm waiting for the phone call asking me to step in for Roger Glover.

Mrs Zero and I have both been unwell so skipped Tuesday but I went to the Kingfisher in Chelmsley Wood on Wednesday, just as house bassist as my voice was well below the normal very low bar. Played with a few people, some with prior notice, some without. I fluffed a few things, as I expected, but wasn't too bad. Tonight was the Crown at Shard End, Mrs Zero came along as well but again neither of us were singing. Quite a few drop-outs and I think there may have been something else going on. Someone I know from open mics at the Cavern in Tamworth turned up with a drummer and we did about half a dozen numbers, and a friend from the Shirley open mic night also came along unbooked but with so few there, she got on, and recruited the drummer and me. Downside was that early in the day, I'd managed to gouge a chunk of skin out of my right middle fingertip - still connected so I've put the flap back in place but it's just where I strike the string if I use my middle finger, so it's index finger only or plectrum. And tomorrow night is a gig doing R&B, which is not ideal.

Same here, so despite their policy saying that counterfeits are not acceptable, "We looked into your report and didn’t find the listing to be in violation of our policy. This determination was made by a customer service agent." Doesn't matter to me as I'll never be in the market for a Fender, but anyone who is should avoid Ebay. Also, perhaps some public-spirited BC experts could write a treatise on determining whether a Fender-labelled FSO is real or a fake, and that could then be pinned in (perhaps) the Gear | Bass Guitars section.

I couldn't bum-bum the bassline to Good Times or any Motown stuff, and I am a bassist. Sort of. Whole lotta love is a guitar riff. I'll give you Another one bites the dust.

Can't see any way to report this as fake on a web browser on PC, either Firefox or Chrome - no question mark on the screen. I have reported it via the Ebay app though (top right three dots, "Help & Report"). Not only has it got a higher price, it's even got a reserve on it.

I can think of very few genuinely iconic basslines, as in basslines that would be recognised and sung (or gone bum-bum-bum to) by people who aren't bassists. The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, Dancing in the moonlight by Thin Lizzy, Brown eyed girl by Van Morrison, Peaches by The Stranglers.

Is that the service fee?
