Spondon and Nearby. Band Mates Required.
Happy Jack replied to SpondonBassed's topic in Other Musicians
For those of you without Google Maps, be aware that Spondon is a suburb of Derby. Never been there, but I've known of it all my life ... ever since my first BSA. -
I think I went a bit overkill on the mods!

Those fanned frets don't look awfully fanned to me, and you clearly gave up on the torzal twist ... -
A Basschat Ukulele Bass sub section now needed?
Happy Jack replied to miles'tone's topic in General Discussion
But it would need to be very small. -

As new and in pristine condition, this was intended to replace my old H4n but in the end I bought a second H4n and an F3. 🙄 This is NOT the new 'Essentials' H6e but the significantly sturdier original unit which they now market as the H6 Studio. It's been used maybe a dozen times and is fully functional. Original packaging & documentation.

The whole 'kitchen scales' thing is just so declasse these days, don't you think? Here we have the intersection of luggage scales with a meat-hook ... so much more satisfying. And no, your eyes do not deceive you. The scales register exactly 9.5lbs = pretty much the weight of every decent (single-necked) P-bass in existence. -
With my kids in their 30s it's a long, long time since I could enjoy Xmas, but I've discovered one thing that really works for me ... a decent Xmas Market.

Agreed. I've made a not-altogether-good reputation for myself by walking out of a number of bands over the last 10 years, either because our 'vision' didn't align or because they proved to be just not good enough (IMHO, of course). Some of my current bandmates are surprised at the way I do this, perhaps even think I'm a bit of a loose cannon. Me? I've never lost a moment's sleep about it. I walked away from a very well-paid job four years early, not because I don't like money but because I was well aware that those four years were (at that moment) the best remaining years of my life. The same equation still applies. I'll be 69 next month (no, I can't believe it either) and I have no interest in allowing anyone or anything to waste the best remaining years of my life right now. Use them or lose them.

Never been in this precise situation but I've been close enough (several times) that you could see it from here. In all of my experience, removal/replacement of any band member is only acceptable is everyone is on board right from the start. If everyone in your anonymous band agrees that 'B' has to go, then he has to go. If it's just 'A' who's pushing for it, then all the non-B members need to go to the pub and have a chat with Frank and Ernest.

So now I'm expecting you to paint your DB in camouflage pattern, using Humbrol paints. And then of course there are the transfers ...
