Played at a business networking event in Oxford on Wednesday. Why? Why book a band that isn't background music for an event that exists solely for people to talk to each other? Anyway, as was predicted, everyone went outside to continue talking whilst we played to the bar staff. Off to Wilderness festival today and then have a dep disco wedding set tomorrow so a nice busy weekend of music playing 😀

Dep gig at How The Light Gets In at Hay - packed venue, good pay and the biggest fattest warmest bass sound I've heard in years 😀

Yes all the time and all the way up the neck. It makes finger positioning much more efficient, playing ‘Master Blaster’, for example, is much easier using the B string

And music shops wonder why their custom is declining. Delightful. 😐

Not with that attitude!

Is that a drop tuning mechanism on the bridge?

To learn and stretch yourself? If there isn’t at least one musician in the band im in awe of i get bored quite quickly. Luckily, im mediocre so the bar is set fairly low!

The T bass had a 3rd pickup for hum cancelling only

Doubled in price now 🙄

I use the vox ampeg headphone amp. Cheap as chips and easy to use - turn on, plug in, play

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/322824933568?ul_noapp=true Purports to be a Jaydee Celeste 5 string - it's not real though is it? If it is then it looks like Jaydee simply couldn't be arsed with 5 strings and were trying to put people off.

Are you saying members of basschat don't know how to use computers?

I was interested in going till I saw the ticket prices in Cardiff - £44 up in the gods and £72 for "VIP"

Eel be lucky to get any bidders that's for sure

Alright, no need to carp on about it

The real question is - why have you only got two basses?

Bought a gig bag from Gareth, excellent communication, good packaging and timely delivery - a pleasure to deal with

He's wrong - the worst he can say is yes!
