It’s been said many time I know, but that green is a lovely colour.

The E string on the Soap throughout the vid sounds so quiet.

Depends partly on the age range of the participants potentially, certainly if there are a load of young ‘uns. If there’s a mix of ages ‘classics’ have to be the way to go, as I’d say you need something ridiculously well-known that everyone is at least familiar with at the onset for you to have a cat in hell’s chance in 3 hours. Think simpler Abba or Queen songs perhaps, or even bloody Sweet Caroline, much as it pains me to say that one in particular. Easy to sing and everyone seemingly knows it.

Good call, I’m in.

Love this! Looks a cool venue too.

The Darkglass wizardry will add a fair heap in cost on in itself of course but, regardless, 100% agree. Also, why do this and not colour match the headstock? Bonkers.

One of those days that only Tom Waits can make better

I love dear old TW to bits. Have been most fortunate to have seen him live twice. Love all of his work. This one has worked wonders for me on occasion. -
Belated NBD - Harley Benton HB-50 (prototype)
mr4stringz replied to neepheid's topic in Bass Guitars
Very nice. Has that pawn shop kind of look, what with the MM-style pickup. -

As visually incredible as it all looks, it’d be sensory overload for me and I’d have the worst migraine ever inside 10 minutes, and that’s without factoring in that it’s U2. I just don’t know with all of that going on if I could actually tell you if the band had been any good and/or entertaining at the end. But then, maybe that’s part of the point? A small ‘spit and sawdust’ venue with a band playing and living and dying by the simple sword of ‘just’ being up there playing to a room will always be more my thing. It is true though that, in recent years, tours and concerts (by the bigger bands at least, see also the bigger festivals) are being marketed far more as an experience and an aspirational lifestyle thing rather than ‘a gig’. So yeah, not my bag but that’s OK!

Keenly priced stuff. Apols if already posted. https://ashdownmusic.com/collections/basses-22 Quite like the look of the Green Capri (there’s a 1980s phrase if ever there was one).

Quiet stage and using a bass kicker...
mr4stringz replied to bass_dinger's topic in General Discussion
This thread is of no practical use to me personally, but just chipping in here to say that it’s threads like this that demonstrate rather succinctly what a great forum BC is. Or rather, how great its users are individually and collectively. Anyway, that’s enough of that mushiness. Pray continue… -
Yes, Mr Realale-Donerfarts. Posh git with his double barrelled name.

Good grief, no. That said the toilets alone are fairly bad.

I got this at Download once.

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
mr4stringz replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Those are (I think I’m right) the difference between the Ignition and the fairly recently released Ignition SE. That one is an SE. -
Totally my experience with the Ricky I had.

I rarely have the chance/opportunity to do bricks and mortar shops these days, but when in Birmingham I find the GuitarGuitar guys there are sound.

Just a thought, but it’s possible this might not be the thread for you.- 297 replies
