Why 3? Not happy with just a spare?

Doesn't count... Has to be identical visually

Doesn't count.... 😁

@Bunion you're banned! 🤣

Have you got any bass kit that is an identical twin of something else you already have? Something that for some reason you just needed/wanted exactly the same thing again whilst still having the original item. I've just picked up a second used Sony DWZ wireless unit because they're long discontinued, super rare and I love my old one. It been used most weekends and having kept my eye on recent 'what wireless' threads I can't see anything currently that I would be happy to splash the cash on should it fail on me. It'll be parked in the spares drawer or loaned out within the band in case I ever need it. And the other twin I have is a second Mesa Boogie Big Block 750 obtained by a recentish trade with one of our esteemed Basschat members @silverfoxnik Again driven by the fact that I love my original one, there aren't many about and the opportunity arose to grab a spare. So the criteria is that it must be exactly the same as something you already possess. If it's a bass it must be visually identical - no extra strings or different colours. And lets not bother about second cabs or accessories such as stands/leads and suchlike. Just basses, amps, effects or similar bigger things. Watcha got and why?

Bought a few bits from Pete. Perfect transaction, fast easy and well packaged (thats enough about my missus though...) Highly recommended!

It could be a UK courier thing. Since Tufnells went bust a few weeks back all the other ones have been deluged with extra work and are way behind in general. Throw in customs and international purchasing......

Plan H New P bass with a heavier body It's much more fun getting new basses than new straps! 🙂

Although I would generally agree with you I think maybe there is a difference between a festival appearance and a 'proper' gig. If I've paid good money to see that bands particular gig I would expect them to deliver the goods. But if they were part of a multiband line up I wouldn't be so bothered. Looking at the TV footage there seemed to be thousands of people enjoying Blondies set regardless. A bit of sunshine, a few drinks and a feel good vibe singing along to a load of songs that brought back your teen memories is not a bad afternoon for most of the general public.

I didn't know it was Matt Bissonette on bass for Elton. I saw him with Dave Lee Roth in the late 80's replacing Billy Sheehan

I enjoyed Maneskin. They really got the whole crowd going. A bit samey but fun to watch. And Victoria is a solid bass player.

Debs is doing ok. Much better than some other footage I've seen recently. She's always been a bit wobbly but she can get away with it to a point I think The band is killing it on Rapture

I switched on late yesterday and caught the second half of Mariam and Amadou. Totally not my thing at all but pretty good - got the crowd going and the bass player was good to watch. He was doing the funky chicken walk around the stage effortlessly - he was sliding around all over the place with his hat at the perfect funky angle. I got to thinking that they would be better if Mariam and Amadou got into the spirit of things a bit more and ran around a bit like Axl does. They remained rooted to the spot for the whole slot. Anyway, they finished up and the drummer and bass player both went and grabbed their hands and walked them off stage. I didn't realise they were both blind! Bloody hell! Imagine being led up on to the stage, being told 'Don't move, there's a 20 foot drop right in front of you' and not being able to see the 50,000 people dancing along to your tunes.

Sounds like the bass is in tune but the player isn't. Authentic punk vibe brownie points.

Looks like an old Aria maybe?

Generation Sex. They're loads of fun. Making it up a bit as they go along, a bit out of tune and screwing it up a bit but enjoying themselves in a grumpy way. Proper punk in front of 100,000 people 🤣

Try a suede backed wide one. Suede is grippier than neoprene or leather

Just playing to a click and probably recorded some previous shows.

Carly Rae and the Arctic Monkeys have just had their Glastonbury ruined. Imagine finding out you're going on after the Foos 🤣

That was dreadful from old Debs.....shocking vocals Haven't we got a 'well beyond the time to knock it on the head' thread somewhere? Reset your memories here

They would......it adds a further few days to the process and confuses the issue because the tracking will indicate that the courier has completed the delivery back to Thomann. If the box went missing the process would show exactly at which stage of the delivery it went missing.
