That’s me too. Consequently I always try and avoid phone calls. My phone is permanently set to ‘do not disturb’. People who know me know to text instead. Glad you got a response. I played a Stingray with a Status neck a few years ago, it really was wonderful.

He did some lovely stuff with Tracey Chapman too.

Moseley violins in Birmingham quoted me almost £300 to fit adjusters. There’s a place in Oxfordshire quoted me £100, I’d already dropped it into Tim Toft though.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve taken it to a place in Stone, Staffordshire. They’ve quoted me a very reasonable £130 to fit adjusters to the existing bridge.

Where are you playing Thomas?

I believe the note was photoshopped in later.

I use either IReal Pro or ForScore.

I haven’t tried that. I do like their Plant kitchen range. I’ll check it out 🙏.

I’m sure it would have told you in the first minute if it had been vegan, you should send it back.

I’m put off by the fake meat things you can buy, they just don’t look appealing - probably too realistic? I’ve tried a few of the vegan cheeses and really don’t like them. Saying that though, I bought a tub of Sainsbury’s vegan soft cheese today to use in a cheesecake. It’s made from coconut, so hopefully should work well.

I had been vegetarian since my early teens when I switched to veganism. The hardest part for me was stopping eating cheese.

I didn’t realise they used recycled car interiors. That might explain the pair of furry dice that came attached to my strap.

I’ve done quite a few gigs. My one jazz band is quite busy. I’m not sure I’d be playing in a very busy pub though.

It doesn’t stop at circuits though. https://www.magneticmag.com/2020/11/behringer-accused-copying-arturia-new-synth-swing/

It’s good that there are options now.

That is incredibly sad. He only last week bought some books from me. I met him at Manchester railway station a few years ago, he bought something from me and we had coffee,

I’ve taught mostly for a few years, I had to reduce my playing whilst doing my masters and PhD. I was doing a lot of gigs until about three years ago, mostly jazz, I’ve just started again recently. I played with a new jazz trio this afternoon.

I will now only play what I enjoy listening to.

They’re cheap because they tend to copy other manufacturer’s designs. Investing in their research and develop department means they’ve bought a new photocopier.

I recently bought a nice Stentor conservatoire model 3/4 size double bass. The bass has already been set up by a luthier. I’d like to experiment with the string height though, get it so that it’s ‘right’ for me. I’ve been looking online at adjustable bridges. There’s quite a disparity in the price of them, from extremely cheap to the very expensive. I was wondering if there was a certain model to look out for, one that people recommend? They also come in different sizes? How easy are they to install, I’m guessing I could just use the existing bridge as a template? Thanks in advance for any help given.

Have you spoken to the UK distributor to see if there’s a UK based repairer they can recommend?

I can in all honesty say I’ve never heard of them.
