  2. A better bass, isn't always better!!
  3. Some interesting points. My original post was meant to be tongue in cheek...not too serious.
  4. How shall I start! This post is I suppose about observing the sales of different basses and the 'usefulness' of certain catwalk/custom models in the trenches of modern music. The bottom line, music is made, no more, no less, so that's not the immediate issue. What I'm referring to is the worship, coverting, then ultimately dismissal of certain high end basses. The sort of bass that although are manufactured to heavenly tolerances, using the finest materials known to angels, quickly lose appeal to the old faithfuls. The scenario of saving up and selling a kidney to buy said bass, only to sell it 6 months down the line!! Is it just me that notices this, or is it just a small minority of happy/unhappy customers that do this?
  5. I intend to and have paid my dues over the last 30 yrs. At 43, I'm still young enough to hopefully have a good few thousand gig miles left in me and old enough to have gathered a bit of wisdom. Bottom line, its about experiences and hopefully enjoyment. If you're lucky enough to retire on the short comings then congratulations
  6. I've been fortunate to gig all over the world and still do, but recently started playing back in pubs and I love it. Its where I started and probably where I'll finish. The main thing is the company you keep!
  7. You'll prob find that everyone is thinking the same thing. Firstly, you're not financially reliant on the gig income (guessing this is the case), so given that, you're doing it for the enjoyment and very probably out of pocket for your involvement. This is obviously not majorly important, as you're doing it for the love...which aint there at the moment. Group chat is the way forward, get everyone to air their views and see how the land lies. Your BL may have lost the impetus and is bored of holding the reins. It can be a thankless job running a band, and is very easy to just learn songs and turn up. See if that's the case and offer to help or take over if it is. If you still feel like you're going to be banging your head against a brick wall, then leave...its as simple as that and move on to pastures new.
