Excellent, @Andyjr1515 builds a bass, the entire process from chopping down the tree to foot on monitor solo all in a single afternoon.

I haven't cut mine or shaved since lockdown, I should imagine by the end of this I'll look somewhat like Billy Gibbons.

I downloaded a ton of reggae/dub reggae in order to find more artists I liked, having played it randomly on an iPod I found myself digging every track by Scientist, he’s just consistently excellent.

Quite enjoying a bit of citizen science today, digitising rainfall records... https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/edh/rainfall-rescue

Morning and welcome.

Here’s my two ‘go to’ basses ...

.

I don’t know why this gets me right in the guts in a way that’s exactly right and it was the first thing that popped into my head when I heard the phrase ‘bass drop’. Around 2:55 when the guitar and vocals drop out ... One of the many PiL/Jah Wobble reasons I love bass. About 1:36 where the entire mix turns bass heavy ... The opening of this track is bass heaven, it’s like getting into an audio bath ...

Sounds to me like you just need an active bass.

Yes it’s taking me an age to get through but that’s because each player leads off down a warren of discovery.

I think postponing is the right thing, as @Andyjr1515 rightly points out, it’s an inevitability. Just hold another one as soon as you can once we have some kind of all clear, we’ll all be right there, had a gas last time.

Can I just ask Sir, what bass is that in the pic? Have just begun thinking about starting on upright, that looks (with its fingerboard dots) a good place to start.

@scrumpymike don’t be out of pocket with the cancelling of the hall, let us know if that’s even a possibility and I’m sure I can speak for others by saying we can chip in and cover it.

Agreed, a very lovely thing to look forward to.
