    That, Sir, is superb news.

    And as I said, your drummer is a reasonable exception. As someone who relied on being driven to rehearsals by a bandmate with my bass gear for a few month before I passed my driving test (I hope I behaved very professionally) perhaps I am being too harsh.

    Bit of a Clash of content there...

    It is a generalisation but it isn’t harsh. Obviously your drummer was an exception, and, given those circumstances, I would have happily shared transport duties too. I would also favour a non-driving drummer with a pro attitude over a driving drummer with a bad and lazy attitude, thing is in my experience, including fifteen years being a drum tech for touring bands, I have never met the former but have encountered a plethora of the latter.

    Well the boat bringing my Chowny SWB Pro docked in the very early hours of this morning and left for Rotterdam in the last hour so I am assuming my bass will soon be on its way to Steven and then to me. I took delivery of the Gator GC-ELEC-XL case this morning, odd how frustratingly light it feels!

    Or, alternatively, chin both of them.

    This is easy... Drummer = c*** Singer = c*** ...any drummer who doesn’t drive isn’t a drummer, they are a royal pain in the a*** and that’s before any of the other negative traits you mentioned. Embrace the C word here and walk.

    This is an option I am seriously considering.

    Just for comparison purposes, obv...

    I believe it to be a thumb rest.

    They do the SWB-1 in fretless but I would prefer a lined neck and I’m not sure I like any of the SWB-1 finishes. If Chowny did a lined fretless version of the SWB Pro I’d order one in an instant.
  12. Frank Blank
    As yet I've not found one I got on with.

    Christ I’d forgotten he died, what a loss...

    God help me I’m just down the road to you and if I can just sell another bass I’ll be back...

    Oh sweet baby Jesus and the saints...

    Excellent documentary, what a player. Spitting image of Nigel Tufnel as well.

    Does anyone own, have experience with, or can recommend a short scale (30” or less) lined fretless bass, electric or acoustic?

    I watched it arc through the air and hit the target so unless you are Toyah then I’m afraid it was another yob.
  20. Frank Blank
    I once gobbed over Toyah mid-gig at The Rainbow on the 21st February 1981. I am considering making it a double in November.

    I went from 34 down to 28.5 and the only difference was playing became significantly easier. I had no positional problems whatsoever.

    As environmentally friendly as the oar might be, I too am relieved at the use of an engine in this case.
  23. Frank Blank
    I am a bit of a train spotter so the Marine Traffic app is excellent anyway, I have a couple of questions about a fretless SWB so I’ll PM you.
  24. Frank Blank
    Hurrah and huzzah, underway with an arrival date!
  25. Frank Blank
    Keeping my fingers crossed for you Sir, fickle idiot that I am I’ll probably get fed up with mine by the end of the week.
