I've moved on the two Rob Allen basses and now exclusively play two @Jabba_the_gut basses, they are perfect for the music we play so they get gigged.

I know two bass players who have instruments they gig and have also bought basses as an investment, they are both most definitely bass players.

I almost saw Shrodinger's point whilst fulfilling his axioms but thankfully I was arrested before it became a classical paradox.

Thus in contemporary quantum theory it seems that the world must be divided into a wavy "quantum system," and a remainder which is in some sense "classical." The division is made one way or another, in a particular application, according to the degree of accuracy and completeness aimed at. For me it is the indispensability, and above all the shiftiness, of such a division that is the big surprise of quantum mechanics. It introduces an essential ambiguity into fundamental physical theory, if only at a level of accuracy and completeness beyond any required in practice. It is the toleration of such an ambiguity, not merely provisionally but permanently, and at the most fundamental level, that is the real break with the classical ideal. It is this rather than the failure of any particular concept such as "particle" or "determinism." In the remainder of this essay I will outline a number of world views with physicists have entertained in trying to digest this situation. Drives me effin' mental that one.

Come on Lozz, it's got to be Motördad, it just doesn't work without the RnR umlaut.

Yes, you can just rock up, then it's just a 50/50 chance of either getting excellent customer service or being treated like a feckin' idiot. Best of luck.

An extremely exciting seventeen minutes of brilliance...

I hear Andy's setup tutorials are good enough for anyone, even Guy.

@Jabba_the_gut fretted and fretless > Effectrode PC-2A > Grace Design Alix > QSC K12.2 The Alix into the QSC is sublime for semi-hollow basses like @Jabba_the_gut builds, it also sounds equally sublime with an upright bass. For the music I play it's the perfect rig.

Paging @Andyjr1515

No, it isn't a novelty bass at all, by far the easiest to play bass I ever had and they sound great. I totally regret selling mine and am seriously considering this one.

A picture missing a flashed 'arris, definitely attending next year, if for no other reason than to give my rump an airing and ruin another group shot.

I very much regret not attending this year, I will definitely be at the next one!

I much preferred it when it was a heroin based Bash.
