I should perhaps mention that we only joined one of the bands as a couple (prog covers band that never got to gigging because of trying to recruit and keep a drummer). The other two bands, she was recruited by the band after me, and not from my suggestion. One of those bands already included one husband and wife, and didn't have any issues due to that. I know another band featuring a husband and wife which has been going for at least 30 years with no issues. From my own experience, I would say that your experience is the exception.

Did you manage to see Horse Slips?

Have you not encountered TimR before? 😁

Do they not pack together like the RCF Evox then?

Almost 50kg? I hope you're all strong lads.

I associate the Zephyr with a sandwich structure to the wings as well (dark-light-dark or light-dark-light), as can be seen from side on and at the upper edge of the forearm chamfer and belly cutaway. The Grind just has solid wings (and sadly some have painted bodies).

I've been playing fives almost exclusively for over a decade, so to me they're not pointless. I do have a couple of sixes but as yet don't use them much. As they both have Roland GK-3Bs on them, that may change.

A few years ago I put together a basic PA when Mrs Zero was the vocalist. I've gradually improved and lightened it over the years. The current band were asking about paying into it but I said it was simpler just to leave it as me owning it, partly because I may do some gigging with Mrs Zero using it (though this is looking less likely as we age).

Looks like the original Dan Armstrongs had two strap pins at the bottom of the body and the Chinese ones just have one.

Who'd have thought it? https://www.ebay.ca/itm/285105361623

The point about watching it is you don't need the imagination.

You've never watched naked Hungarian lady gymnast porn?

It makes my back feel as if it's going to pack up just looking at it. I'm not saying whether that's Ampeg cabs or porn.

More comprehensive than me, I've just had the C5 and 5- and 6-string Grinds.

Any particular reason? Mrs Zero and I have been in a couple of bands together and also play as an acoustic duo, and AFAIK it's never caused an issue. In fact, one band I'm in that's just a recording band wants her to come in to do some vocals too.

That's pretty much my attitude.

You've probably gathered I'd prefer 12mm but I should be able to work things out for myself. And I've got some 68mm plastic pipe so I'm halfway there already.

Just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be done.

I'm going to go with the scooped front 4s having both 34" and 35" incarnations and the 5 and 6 and non-scooped front 4s always being 35".

So, the law won, then?

I think it was when the Grind got a second revamp that it changed. I remember looking at the specs of the original neck-through Grind with the body scoop and it was 34" 4-string, 35" the rest. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/differences-peavey-grind-and-peavey-grind-bxp.797769/ The ones in the catalogue don't have the body scoop, so that's the revamp. They got revamped again about five years ago.

There wasn't any feud between Neil Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd. https://groovyhistory.com/neil-young-lynyrd-skynyrd-feud-sweet-home-alabama/7

As I fulfil the traditional bassist's role as PA man, I've got mains extensions, mains leads, XLR leads, etc, so those all go in a wheelie suitcase. Bits for the bass go in the bass gig-bag. Everything else that needs a home (tablet to control mixer, last minute thoughts, spare T-shirt & towel) go in a Spada laptop bag that was a free gift at the Motorcycle Show ten years ago https://spadaclothing.co.uk/en/moto/products/accessories/luggage/gonzo-laptop-bag-luggage

Looking at the way it's all put together, would it be possible to Adjust pickup to correct height Remove strings and undo pickup frame fixing screws Lift up pickup and pickup mounting frame as one Put nuts on the height adjustment screws and tighten them against the frame, locking the screws in place Reassembly is the reverse of disassembly ((c) Haynes Manuals) You'd need to find the size of the height adjustment screws first.

Hurrah!
