ambient

Just use the tube, that’s what I do. I used a Mark Bass combo on a trolley. I’ve even carried a double bass on the tube.

I owned a bass for about 5 years that had suffered a head break. It was only by chance that I found out. I was doing a gig somewhere and someone came up and starting talking to me. He commented on the instrument and said he had owned one exactly the same. It was his, the repair was invisible.

I hope you mean vegetarian lasagne, though it might explain the stories I've read about it. I've been in 6 Wetherspoons, each is etched indelibly on my mind. The worst for cleanliness was probably in Carlisle, the food on the floor looked to have been there for several days, if it was freshly fallen on the floor then I feel sorry for whoever had been trying to eat it. The last one was Bristol next to Temple Meads, it was late after a gig and I wanted coffee prior to my train home. Again the tables were dirty, this was despite there being more bar staff than customers. I remember phoning my mom to let her know I'd made the train, it being the last one. Even though I was talking quietly my voice was echoing around the place, the few people who were there were just staring blankly into space. I just drank the black liquid as fast as I could and disappeared into the night.

It does seem odd that he’s doing this. I’ve never come across it. If the gig requires the drummer needs PA support then the whole kit is mic’d and goes through the PA. That’s only on big gigs though in my experience. Just stand by his amp and turn him down next time.

There is that. I’ve also yet to go into one and think, yes I’ll sit awhile and enjoy my coffee. It’s usually my god what’s this stuff they’re passing off as coffee, why don’t they employ enough staff so they can clean the chips and other food debris from the table, and what on earth have they done to this building? The latter because they seem to have perfected turning a nice and architecturally interesting building into something totally bland and characterless.

Wetherspoons?

Maybe his cat isn't as fussy as mine?

SHOULDNT YOUR RANT BE IN CAPITALS? (Spelling mistake was deliberate )

Honestly I’ve tried, she refused to go anywhere near it. She’s extremely fussy what she poos or wees on.

Awful paper, it’s not fit to line my cat's litter tray. Glad to see so many others here feel the same.

He must have really disliked English class at school.

It's almost 5th November.

Champion Version are a small independent record label that release some amazing music on vinyl. I've been fortunate to have a few things released via them over the last few years. They have an event at The Old Church in Stoke Newington on Saturday 10th November, featuring some amazing artists including Rothko and Yellow6. Check out the line up and details on the Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/events/1750107205024896/

Don’t play so loud or just get used to them.

If this bass could only talk is the name of the album. He uses a second bassist on some tracks, a guy called James Earl who I think played a 6 string bass, night have been a 5.

Find out who people like Fodera use.

I believe that’s right, yes.

It’s probably best to book direct with the courier rather than through an intermediary. DPD are very good as are FedEx and UPS. My Modulus came from the States via Fedex.

I think that a big part of the reason why women maybe didn’t play guitar, bass or drums in the past is the male attitude toward them playing. Maybe we were scared they’d be better? It’s still there now. Read this from last year. https://jazztimes.com/departments/before-and-after/before-after-tarus-mateen/?fbclid=IwAR27B2NSsK6oygkYGjX2jD-r7vRvIFUjLgcxeJR52dG2NgkDFpwXIM9U3sg Before he’s told that the bassist is Linda Oh he says it’s great, he’s told it’s Linda then asks who’s playing bass, again he’s told it’s Linda. His assumption then is she’s got help in the studio. With Esperanza he gives credit to the bass, it’s the bass that sounds good, not Esperanza making it sound good.
