  1. This. A password manager is the simplest solution. If you are really old school and have to write things down try a simple option. Choose a few words that make sense to you eg if your born in June and drive a blue Golf then JuneblueGolf could be a core part of your password that you remember. Each subsequent site could be appended with a unique new part which is written down: Basschat =bC1) so password is JuneblueGolfbC1) and so on. Not perfect but better than repeating the same password and easy to remember and keep track of. Even if you are phished and a hacker gets the core password they are unlikely to spend any time even trying to guess or brute force the unique 3 or 4 characters of a different site.
  2. like rock and roll and the radio - ray lamontagne
  3. I don’t recall them having a high mass bridge, but maybe earlier ones? Mine is from mid nineties:
  4. If all crypto, digital banks like revolut and wise, paypal, gold and other mediums of exchange are shut down by governments and central banks alongside all fiat currencies then the above may be valid. Otherwise it’s just a bit alarmist. Society may well phase out cash for the same reasons that barter became unpopular. It’s just a bit inconvenient to carry a chicken around.
  5. alright now / free
  6. Cash will be around for a while yet, but the ease and convenience of digital alternatives will see it’s gradual demise.
  7. That’s MM Bongos out then. Possibly some of the best sounding bass guitars ever IMO.
  8. alone again or - the damned
  9. Fender Aerodyne Jazz Great bass in good used condition. Japanese made 1994/95 Currently strung with flats. V. Light weight basswood body with rosewood neck. The Aerodyne range are highly regarded for good reason IMO with the only major downside being the stock pickups which are fairly weak for a premium instrument. I have replaced them with a Geezer Butler PJ set which is a massive improvement. Every time I pick this bass up it sounds great and is a joy to play but (and it’s a big but for me) I just don’t like the body shape or ergonomics of a Jazz bass. It’s in excellent condition for its age with only a slight mark from pick near P pickup (see pictures). Very happy to consider trades with money going either way for either a Lakland PJ, G&L JB2 or other narrow neck non offset bodied bass.

  22. the sick bed of cuchulainn - the pogues
  23. Really nice neck, light, looks great IMO, black ones are a swine for fingerprints, for a (relatively) expensive bass the pickups and loom are a bit meh. Replaced mine with some Geezer Butlers and it sounds great. I’m not keen on the ergonomics of a Jazz bass so will probably sell it/trade it at some point.
  24. “I think we got rid of religion, essentially, which may or may not be a good thing, but there’s a vacuum that we created that we don’t really know what to do with” I agree with this. To be honest many of the foundations that previous generations based their moral and spiritual character upon have been torn down, for good reason in many instances, but IMO there does appear to be some floundering in the void and more tearing down than creating. As my old boss used to say “bring me solutions not problems”.
  25. I was actually using the mean calculation as median can skew the figures somewhat (for the 1977 and 2022 dates). If you want to use median then in 2022 the average USA wage was over $54000 a year. Two weeks would buy nearly 2 new Fender Jazz basses. Edit: No it was median. Results here: https://dqydj.com/individual-income-by-year/ Either way using your link or mine instruments have still fallen in price relative to wages.
