To echo guns and roses, about a century ago, I really do not care... as long as it still works, I just don’t care.

My signal chain in just a cable basically

[quote name='clunkie66' timestamp='1506357088' post='3378196'] Can't wait!! [/quote] well done that man

My white vmp p was too

The natural is in y experience much heavier than the coloured ones

I had to play a johnny cash song in f# and capo on 3 is exactly what I did

Totally rubbish relic job though - who did it ? Stevie wonder?

I have, in the words of the fast show, just come

I have exactly this one - the est96a in natural and it's awesome

Yes When I was too tired to think about doing it any other way like re voicing or changing key It worked just fine

A really good book on the topic.

[quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1505940310' post='3375426'] Obviously not Coldplay crap, it would take years and years of selfless dedication to get 5% as crap as Coldplay. I don't even think you could become Coldplay crap, I think you would have to be born Coldplay crap. [/quote] Hmm - not seen me play have you?

[quote name='bassbiscuits' timestamp='1505809621' post='3374391'] And have a wee before you start - it'll distract you for the entire first half otherwise.... Enjoy the gig tho - playing live is great. [/quote] True - Dutch courage also a bad idea My partner asked if I'd do it again, after the first time (when I totally died) and I said "in a heartbeat" - it was awesome second time - cutest girl in the room came up and told me "how awesome the (my) bass sounded" (didn't tell partner that Part (in great detail)

[quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1505753472' post='3374041'] Well, I'd say yes, accept that you might make a mistake or two, but almost no one will notice unless you stop. Most of all, enjoy it. [/quote] True but if you're half a bar out and you try and guess it'll sound worse than silence or a random slide I'm the kind of person who thinks "doh!" But knows what to play in a bar or twos time and is right there when it comes by, so not playing for a moment works better than trying to cover it up in my experience so far @clunkie you'd be amazed at what people /don't/ notice

Firstly accept that will make mistakes If you make one just stop playing you until you get an idea where to come back in Second just concentrate on having fun Also aware that other people will make mistakes as well

Ampeg ba series - small and powerful

alan "someone" - played a sunburst jazz edit: stuart fletcher apparently.

I have celluloid tort in brown and dark brown available, many happy BC takers

Never been a fan of matching headstocks but I'd make an exception here
