I have one, it rocks. Just buy it.....simples

Nice bass, tempting too as I've flirted with joining the VOC before.

The grub screw on the bridge looks like it's about to fall out - on the D string saddle?

I use GHS pressurewounds and feel they are an excellent compromise between roundwounds and flats

Looking back I wish I'd kept all the demo tapes and photos my band received when we advertised for a singer in NME and MM; some were beyond hilarious! Out of about 30 responses we got 2 sensible ones - one was the daughter of a very famous rock star who ultimately decided that we weren't good enough, and the other was the singer who actually joined the band.

Do tell.....

I found my previous tribute band through JMB so it does work. I have just recruited a singer for my current outfit via Bandmix, although you have to pay to message people.

I got half a dozen replies from approaching about 10 possibles.

Yeah, I had that. Annoyingly I had one of those deal things that cuts fees by 80%, so I lose that. 

 

I'll always try to sell stuff here, but it's guitar based rather than bass and I don't really go on any guitar forums so ebay seemed the best place.

I've used www.thefretboard.co.uk for geeta stuff just as a HU for you

My standard method of dealing with people looking for money off due to completely insignificant or imaginary problems is to offer them a full refund if they return the item and no alternatives. I'll be very polite and apologetic, but I won't enter into any dialogue with them over discounts or partial refunds; they are obviously not 100% happy so they should return the item and get their money back. In every case I have never heard anything more from the buyer.

A good tip, thanks

Very cool story. Something I hope everyone gets to experience.

 

We get the same treatment when we play Summerfest in Milwaukee WI, world's largest music festival.

 

Cool pics.

My best gig in a long and fairly average musical career was playing Rock City in Nottingham with my Bowie Tribute band.

This was January 2022 for a charity gig so not paid, but to be honest I'd have paid them. It actually surpassed all our expectations because

- there was a stage manager (in a very sharp suit) to receive all the bands at the stage door entrance

- we had our own dressing room, complete with toilet and shower, with our band name on the door

- there were roadies/stage hands to carry your guitar onto the stage (we were using their drums and backline)

- there was a 32 channel monitor mixer at stage right - that's right, just for monitors (us pub players are just not used to such luxury)

- the light show was awesome

- there was a decent crowd in who loved it and we played as well as we ever have - the head stage hand said..."you guys were very good" afterwards

- we were the only tribute band on the bill, we played right before these guys https://cosmicskull.org/

- Bowie played there, on that very stage in 1997 (goosebumps)

The only downside was we only had 30 minutes

Thanks @Bluewine for posting this thread, it's allowed me to relive a cherished memory.

The sadness is that the band has now broken up so no chance of a repeat performance 😢

Welcome @Gary C

I'm a Shropshire lad too, as is @Leonard Smalls although I'm in Nottingham now

Which bit of Shropshire are you in?

Ooh tempted, and I'm nearby.

Thinking cap is on for an excuse to 'er indoors

In fact this case will double up as body armour, protecting your back, neck and head as you high-tail it away from a successful looting run at ALDI, pocket compartments laden with the last of the Fray Bentos pies, as those that were too slow try and pelt you with tins of out of date custard.

Hey, you snooze you lose!

 

I can see you've given this considerable thought and planning 😊

Ooh, nice

@Dad3353 has a point, but then he is our Dad😃

The only band of the 3 you mention I listen to regularly is The Who. For me, Quadrophenia is one of the best albums ever recorded.
