playing my favourite pub gig NYE. 3pm till 6pm. Duo 80s gig It will be an absolute hoot, it always is in there and I've not seen them since March I'll be home by 7

merry christmas to you all, here's to 2025 I'll see you in the bar somewhere

I work in a family engineering business. 30 years ago our top cnc machinist announced he was leaving. Oh no, what will we do without Dereck, he's sort of irreplaceable. Now up steps my brother with a degree in Mechanical engineering, (who was pretty good on the lathes side of things) he went and did some serious reading about milling and cnc milling The upshot, we realised that no one is irreplaceable and actuallly Dereck wasn't that good. So, from a playing perspective, there is always someone that could do it and do it well if you're the BL then that's a whole new game

roll on 2025

I used a hartke transporter 4x10 for many years. It sounded good

statii forum seems to be back now

My first bass hero. Watching the TV show Marc. A jazz bass should have dual concentric pots because of Herbie's that was a good watch, thank you Ruby

it's still a few months away!! Still time!!

I totally agree with you If I could get a reverso for the right money, I would

have you still got the Warwick?

it's fine I think. I cant remember what he was playing when I saw them at Wembley, too long ago

A neck has arrived. It feels ok and the wood looks pretty nice too

loved that cover @BigRedX, lovely vocal where was the vid shot, looks like a lovely place

dusty as the day it was born😅

nice, but too expensive for me these days

that's weird. I'm getting the same

there must be a circuit diagram out there. Then get someone to make it Have you tried the Statii forum?

I had that Stagg stand for my stagg 3/4 EUB. it was perfect

I was in an originals rock band in the late 80s. We were very big locally, all young kids were our fans. Tight trousers, hair, pointy headstocks and double bass drums. We eventually split but did get together and rehearse with the view to doing a couple of gigs Then the guitarist ran off with the drummers wife

yes, all the best and look after yourself

my 80s duo is backing tracks but without guitar and keys, as we both play them There was a full band for a while that went out for 300 quid a gig. 75 quid each. It was mostly live, we did use the occasional BT but then the drummer left so we put the drums on the BTs and carried on. now we get 100 quid each. bands are charging much more now and pubs, largely, can't afford it, so have gone down the solo/duo thing Frankly, I dont want to watch people sing to backing tracks, if they're playing guitar/bass/keys and using BT I think that's ok I am very lucky to be an ok singer. I am confident that what I do is good. I know when I'm beaten too

he seems pretty normal there

he was a car sprayer for many years and still has some equipment but no where to do it. we're going to do it at my factory and see what happens. I'm looking at paint from Custom Paints Ltd. So far they've been very helpful in choosing the colours after I sent them pictures of the AC basses that I want to replicate

so the impressions thing I read on here that you should bite on something when having the impression done, to ensure a good seal. I spoke to a hearing specialist recently and he said if you're a singer you shouldn't do the bite thing during the mould But if you dont sing, then do the bite. any thoughts?

great, that makes it easier
