we have the same thing although I do the 'nah not doing that' bit to it

Not getting that here:

Glad I did that, even if it was a one off!

I know - tort.. urgh!

Nominated for best male rock performance at the 22nd grammy awards and has its own wikipedia page. Although from looking at that I found out it was a cover, never knew that. Would make for a good mashup!

I was kicking round waiting for my wife to be ready to go out, and I decided to play along through some playlists. There is a playlist for a group I was recently in but it desolved in acrimony, even though me and my wife had spent the whole lockdown practicing the songs. So I was playing along with Josie, Feeling good, I can't go for that etc, but when I got to 'can't hurry love' I got quite sad that I would never actually get to play that live, as it is so much fun to play. Truth to tell with that band it wouldn't have sounded great as they were a bit wooden, and soul needs, well, some soul! but its a shame that I won't get to do that. It isnt right for my current band. Also often sad (as per other thread on here) that I wouldn't get to play babylons burning after the trouble of learning it for a interview. Anyone else put a lot of effort learning something and dissapointed they never got to play it?

Apart from my anecdote, it is hard to say that music has changed my life because there has never been a place without music. There was always music at home, my parents always sang round the house, I learned the piano when I was too young to remember not playing the piano, I don't remember a not playing time. So to not have music somewhere seems odd, like something is missing, and I can only really concentrate on something if music is playing.

That case has been my main one for a long time!

Right timing, right notes. If nothing else, don't break the timing. Ideally aim for the right notes!

I think if I had just the one bass I played live it would be an easy choice, but there isn't, I use all my basses in rotation, so there isn't even one I use more than the others. If I had a 13 pin it would tie me to one bass. the SY-1 has been gigged quite a lot, but I randomly used it on an add-hock basis when I felt like it before, however, after putting the organ patch on 'need your love so bad' the band really liked it, so it has become a permanent on that. It would be nice if it did have patch memories. I am guessing not much in it. Yes, it would be good to use it but doesn't fit on my board. I will play around with it at home and see what I can do with it. As I said, i plugged it in once and spent about a minute going through some options, which is a bit daft really - I have bought it, I shold make use out of it!

Probably wouldn't be somethign I would sell - I was tempted by the SY1000 for a while, as a replacement for everything else, but it is the effort of having a 13 pin interface again. My SY1 now actually has a permenant song on our set list, so patches would be handy.

I do. I haven't used the FI though, literally I have plugged it in once and not used it - I got it as I thought it was cheap from a link on here, and it wasn't, so I had a bit of a down on it. Should probably plug it in and see if I can use it for something at some point, not that I can really gig it as it is too big

Looks good, I would have got that, although I got the FI so I guess I probably wouldn't get it any time soon. Looks an interesting pedal.

I have a 1505, but would be interested to see the 1000S

I heard the Fields of the Nephilim briefly on telly one night, I liked them, went to buy the album, whcih changed my musical style a bit. i didn't know anyone else who liked that, so one of my friends said that they new someone who liked that and introduced me. Became friends with them, they split up with their girlfriend, I ended up with her, changed my life dramatically from there. So yes, the album The Nephilim by Fields of the Nephilim it changed my life.

My car broke once so I took my stuff in my wifes Peugot 205cc

I'd love a 5 string fretless if they did one.

It makes me think of texas. It just looks like a badly drawn state map!

A Gibson 58 reissue, a 335 and a fender american strat. I know.

To be fair, that is what 95% fender players want. A P or a Jazz in other colours.

Our guitarist mostly has to tune between each song. Which I wouldn't necessarily mind if it wasn't so slow.

FInally played my 5 string short scale talman live, in the second half of a wedding set on saturday. it was actually pretty enjoyable to play and left me wishing I had played it in the first half. Not totally keen on the controls, the pickups or the head heavyness, but I think considering how well it played, it might be well worth the effort of doing it up

I also have Cuvave Cube turner, in fact 2 as I have one and my wife has hers. I think ours were just over a tenner from ali express.

but very literally the purpose of this thread! I don't find the jazz bass ugly* but it isn't also that appealing and also ver bland looking, but this might just be because they are ubiquitous Apart from the headstock, but that goes without saying!

I was the same with mustangs and now have one. I don't play it live as it's a 4, but I do play it all the time around the house
