  1. If one were to woo a lady with a succession of Reggae songs, where might be a good place to start?  Without being too direct. I feel a good term would be blatant subtlety which i coincidentally may have just come up with yet cannot fully explain. I have no idea what i'm doing except steering towards the little bit of light at the end of this dark tunnel

  2. I have reason to believe that an ebay seller I recently purchased from has been giving my name and address out to third parties without my consent. I think this is a breach of GDPR and the Data Protection Act. What are my options?

      GDPR doesn't apply to private individuals.

  3. I've noticed my left ear was a bit muffled of late, so all this week I've been popping a few drops of Otex in each evening in an attempt to soften it all up... last evening I gave it a good flush out with some hot water, and now not only can I hear in glorious stereo again, but I've got the makings of a good sized candle. zzzzzzzbx3o48f1K6x6.gif.b2b3fc9149a80279e6c0387c2182a48e.gif

     

  4. I have a gig tomorrow. One of the songs we're playing is I Can't Make You Love Me. Question is: do I bring a fretless just for that 1 song (out of over 20)?

    1. pete.young

      pete.young

      I would. That's a beautiful song, now I have band envy!

  5. In the entirely hypothetical case of a Basschatter who does NOT own an iPhone, exactly how excited does the panel believe that Basschatter should be about tonight's mega-upgrade?

     

    Personally, I'm filing this under "a good day to bury bad news". :ph34r:

  6. I went to the Doctor's because I keep painting myself gold.

    He said not to worry, I just have a gilt complex.

      Someone in a James Bond film died from being painted with gold. But what a lovely finish.

  7. How can you safeguard against scams on Fb Marketplace?
    There's a bass for sale on there I really would like, but I don't know how to safeguard against getting scammed. 😟

  8. TC SpectraComp bricked:

     

    Failed to update firmware two times, third time lights out. I now have a very small door stop.

      What did TC Electronic say? I don't imagine they will want a bad review from someone as influential as yourself.

  9. Had an absolutely first class trade with David, great chat on line, met up for the hand over after David had a long drive and I was late - sorry!

      Maybe this would be better in David's feedback thread?

  10. According to the BC profanity filter, our next gig (18th March) is at the Fighting pink torpedos in Kingston

      pete.young

      It's beyond a joke. The filter I mean, not your gig, I'm sure that will be a fabulous event.

  11. Paul Carrack gig halted half way through tonight. Hope he gets better soon. Gutted as we were really enjoying it.

      Hope he's OK. We saw him in Ipswich last back end and he was brilliant.

  13. I've tried not to be interested in playing music, even tried to stop listening to music. I thought, I'm bored of it all.

     

    I'm just kidding myself. I can't stop. I was up the other night watching something about REO Speedwagon...I don't even like REO Speedwagon.

     

    Family aside :) Music is my first love.

      Well that was a close call. When it happened to me, I bought a banjo. And now look.

  14. Oh no.....a bass I've wanted for a while has become available. £2k+ though.....what to do!?!
    I should probably go try it and hope that it's rubbish haha

    1. pete.young

      pete.young

      Seems overpriced to me, even by todays inflated standards. Think that was the right call, whatever the reason.

  15. So does this forum have a dark Theme I can switch to? The white background hurts my eyes on 34" ultrawide.

     

    1. pete.young

      The site admins are unlikely to act on anything in Status Updates. You would be better off to raise the request in Site Issues and Questions. Darkreader looks good though.

  16. Srsly though why do people keep trying to steal my cable? Is there a decent system for labelling them? grrr.

      I made my own cables out of sparkly gold glitter cable.

  17. Hi guys. I have quick question about strings. I wanna try 55-110 EB Cobalt flatwounds or even "Jamerson set" LaBella for standard tuning. My question is: Are these strings are not too stiff and have too much tension to set them in standard? Will I have to cut nut slots more or factory cutted slots will be ok for so thick strings? I used to use 50-105 and everything was ok but I'm afraid that when I cut them more it will be too much for smaller gauge strings.

      You might do better to start a thread somewhere than use status updates.

  18. Watch the Chernobyl TV mini-series. If you are 40 or over, you will probably recall seeing the news when you were young. You will want to see this series. It is very, very good. Moving and true to the events that shook the day and following years.

      I'd just finished working at Sellafield about 2 months before it happened. Friends who were still working there told me they knew something had happened somewhere because the alarms in the air intake system all went off. This happened about a week before the incident was reported in the West.

      Steampunk Morris dancing is even more retarded. Plus tard as the French would probably say.
