Happy Jack

In all fairness, Saturday was the hottest Saturday of the year, and Sunday was the most humid Sunday of the year. What that photo can't show is the power cut that wiped out part of the town centre for nearly an hour starting 20 minutes after that shot was taken, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise because the thunderstorm accompanied by a deluge of Biblical proportions therefore fell on (unprotected) power supplies and cabling with no electricity passing through them.

Friday: Saturday: Sunday:

I suspect that for a Mod your approach works really well, Michael. For a mere browser such as me, the steam-powered route is just fine. 🙂

The problem with this approach is that it guarantees that what Basschat will offer you is what other people are interested in, and you're straight into social media territory. What I want to see is what I am interested in, and I reckon I'm the best judge of that.

In all fairness Chris, a pin without a point isn't really a pin. Hey - I'm just saying ...

Me. Please don't do this.

My hands are hovering over the keyboard, poised to strike! 🙂

Well now you're back on the whole 'competence' thang, aren't you? 😂

You'd have struggled from Canterbury mate! 😱

Next up ... songs about major cities going bankrupt. 😱

https://www.canford.co.uk/Products/58-011_OPTOGATE-PB-05M-OPTICAL-AUTOMATIC-MICROPHONE-SWITCH-Inline-case-mute Blimey! I'm sure they're really jolly good, dontcherknow, but at £165 each they would bloody need to be. It's an infra-red sensor (so the remote control for yer telly) and an on/off switch. Ten quids' worth of components, maybe £20 on a bad day. Someone's 'avin' a giraffe. Haven't Donner copied this design yet? And if not, why not?

Reading all the above, I'm counting my blessings ...

I've heard from loads of people that the in-built wi-fi on whatever they've just paid for works great, and I've seen ever so many YouTube reviews where the reviewer from some big dealer chain doesn't actually say that the in-built wi-fi is complete bovine manure. But it is. It always is. I have no difficulty believing that the on-board wi-fi works fine if you're gigging in The Brecon Beacons or a remote valley in Utah. If your gigs are all in London and the Home Counties (as mine are) then you really really don't want to be relying on the in-built wi-fi. Don't ask me how I know.

Are you listening on your phone again? 🤨 😄

Well worth checking out. They make fine, punchy instruments that play really well, though their signature body shape doesn't appeal to everyone (including me). My solution was to buy https://reverendguitars.com/basses/mike-watt-wattplower-mark-ii/

You can't threaten me with a good time ...

Erm ... none at all. It already exists. https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/35-accessories-and-misc/ Is there some subtlety here that I've missed? 🤨
