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.

That's where a 5 or 6 string comes in useful. I'd have played the Db on the 14th fret on the B string.

There were about 11 bass players in my intake on the BMus (hons) at ICMP. There was one female bassist who was absolutely amazing, she's now one of the busiest players around London. There was I think one female drummer too from about the same number, she too was absolutely amazing. One of my favourite drummers is Teri Lyn Carrington. The cool thing was that nobody there, at least to my knowledge, thought anything of it.

Laptop speakers you mean?

As far as I know the Paladino custom shop bass is a replica of the guy's original vintage instrument, the pickups are copied so the specs are the same as the originals that would I think have been handwound, it has a nitrocellulose finish rather than whatever they use nowadays. It’s a faithful hand built replica, hence the price.
