Define "everything".

I think you'll find an Oates down the Hall ...

Where's Gwyneth Paltrow when you need her?

I'm now deeply concerned that I might attend a UK Beach Boys gig and find that Brian Wilson has borrowed Macca's bass ...

Getting the wax out in one piece makes it easier to use when making candles ...

Paging @wateroftyne 😂

Very few people can slap a bass like Lee Rocker ...

The Oxford English Dictionary does a pretty good definition. Of course, that's what it's there for so it would be surprising if it didn't.

Perhaps more importantly, why on earth would you do this? "The speakers are 8Ohm. Currently wired in series so it's a 16 Ohm cab. (Can be re-wired to parallel very easily to give net 4 Ohm if you wanted)"

Absolutely this ^. If you're the entire rhythm section and they can't hear you, then something is seriously wrong with the way the band sets up at gigs. I'm not convinced that you can blame their defective hearing or lack of musical experience! 😂 If I were you (and of course I'm not) I'd be suggesting the band goes out for a drink and a chat.

So how many watches can you make from a mantelpiece?

There have been several over the years, but none in the UK. The KK range was made by Kris's brother in law in Germany.

I've had two of these since they came out, one of which gets used at every gig (and I do half a dozen a month), never a problem yet. Genuinely astonished at your experience. 😱

I'm sorry, I don't do impressions. 😉

I recognise the knobs! Any moment now, my Dad's going to tell me to slap the side of the telly, no not there, up a bit, THERE!

I reckon those control knobs give you BBC1, BBC2 and ITV.

I did a reasonable amount of business with Kris Kedzior some years ago, even brought him along to a SouthEast Bass Bash one year, but you're quite right - my contact details for him are no longer valid. Last activity I can find on Facebook relates to April 2020 which is, of course, the first serious month of Covid. I wonder if he shut everything down and either went back to Poland or possibly back to Brazil before all the borders got shut? What I did find was this post from September last year where Ed Friedland seems to have just bought a Baby Bass and Kris has blogged his review. https://baby-bass.com/blog/

Endless comments about how much it weighs ... but no weight specified! C'mon man, stick it on the scales. 🙄

Echoing others here, but I simply wouldn't contemplate accepting this gig unless there were some pretty significant 'other' reasons for doing so. For both my 3-piece bands we used Covid as the opportunity to reduce our radius from 40 miles to 30, we charge £300 a pop and - since our diary is already pretty much full for 2022 - we'll be increasing that for 2023. We're in NW London and for all I know you're in the middle of the Scottish Highlands, so perhaps big distances aren't such a turn-off for you, but doing a 300-mile round trip to play to at most 80 people is a complete no-brainer for me. Just say no. Tell them you're trying to reduce your carbon footprint.

Straight into a hardcase in a climate-controlled store-room, never again to see the light of day, let alone be gigged. Manufacturers have spent years trying to accelerate the Vintage (they call it relic'ing), so now they're trying to accelerate the Rare.

I used a Dymo labeller to re-title the controls on my amp to be PUNCH HEFT ZING Sweepable FZZZZT
