Did the SBL Gary Willis course on a whim which was great and has given me more motivation to practice. Weekly jamulus can't replace gigging but has it's upsides - being able to ramp up complexity without having to get gig ready has been liberating. Feel lucky I've had more time on my hands in lockdown, appreciate not the case for many. Being able to play more has brought my playing on a lot this past year.

From past experience any available drummer or guitarist advertising themselves as having 'pro gear' is generally the last person you want to be in a band with.

Love that, great level of detail he's pulled together. Great series in fact, now working through the others..

These alt uses are good. I can't be the only BCer who bought these without having any need - my basses all have Schallers on (which I believe might also be @ped 's most hated straplock). Maybe need a new bass to go with these.

That was my first thought. It's the most immediate 'wrong' when you see it

If it felt good, and sounded good, I'd say they're not flaws but 'character' and keep it. But you've gotta be happy yourself, if you're not happy absolutely swap it. I must be easily pleased

Bests - Amazon cheap wireless, one less tangle at home. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07L5B64RG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Sire P7 and V3 too, both this year. P7 so won me over I sold my Roscoe. Worsts - trial and error on 5 string flats cost a lot. Settled on 760FS-Bs.

Funnily enough was sent this yesterday Generally think of Prince as someone who would be regarded in the top ranks on thier instrument, if they didn't play so many instruments.

Not faulty Design is form and function. How well it does the job, how it looks doing it.

Might have already been said Wooden pickguards Wooden pickup covers Wooden volume / tone knobs Those Warwick wooden tuning pegs Basically wood where there should be metal / plastic

+1 for NYXLs. One of the more pliable hex cores out there, sound great. If string stiffness is ongoing issue, DRs are a great round core choice.

Great Stephen Fry quote on Critics “Picture this scene. A critic arrives at the gates of heaven. 'And what did you do?' asks Saint Peter. 'Well', says the dead soul. 'I criticised things'. 'I beg your pardon?' 'You know, other people wrote things, performed things, painted things and I said stuff like, "thin and unconvincing", "turgid and uninspired", "competent and serviceable,"...you know'.”

Alas injured leg so can't ride 'his' bike anymore..

Ryan Thaxter was the guy selling...

Geddy book isn't Rushy at all, just a massive bass porn book. £40 though

Welcome! Great username 👏

Did 1000's of hours of essays to this

Pantera. Decade not selling records as joke hair metal, big makeover, and commercial success with Cowboys from Hell and Vulgar Display of Power, both great.

Only if Anne was in the middle and we were smothering her

Always wonder if some of the heated debate threads on here that derail, where someone takes umbrage with another's taste - wouldn't escalate if there was a 'politely disagree' button. Not sure what the symbol should be, maybe 🤔
