He must be forever young...

That's what I should have done to mine. If I had, I'd probably still have it

I had a black passive one when they first came out. Got rid because I play finger style, and the edge of the body painfully dug into my arm. I should have kept it and just buffed the edge to take the sharp corner off.

Hamer Blitz bass 💕

The bass bit of Wunjo Guitars in that London.

Having had an instructive evening with advice on technique and posture from @Silvia Bluejay and @Happy Jack I've been playing through the songs of the band I'm going to use it for. I'm not quite there yet, things I do naturally on regular bass I really have to think about, like muting. I'm developing a picking technique, mostly db plucking but using other fingers in a different way occasionally. My fingers no longer ache like they did after first playing it. Although tbh after a while I need to reset, as I feel it in the shoulders. Although it's regular bass length - 34" - all my bass are either mid or short scale, so I'm still finding my fretting hand technique. It's going back to the shop for a tweak as the internation is out, and I'll get advice on maybe lowering the action. Otherwise, still enjoying playing it, and I've been asked to join an acoustic jazz outfit, which also goes out as an instrumental group. So talk about running before you can walk! 😆

Or, to take a contrary view, how many people on here know Billy Sheehan is a Scientologist? How many of the bands he plays with do? Point being with Linkin Park it's entirely possible they didn't know, but contracts have been signed and money spent on recordings. As Emily has not done anything illegal or broken the contracts, it's damage limitation.

Or when Ringo replaced Pete Best, "Pete forever, Ringo never!".

Respectfully disagree...

Story on MSN.com here. I'm thinking good on him, he gamed an unfair system. Is it any different to people who are doing Blockchain mining? Not sure about the claim that he stole money from other rights holders?

Marshall Allan 100 years old, and still leading The Sun Ra Arkestra.

Seeing Herbie at the Bass Bash was a life experience. Equal parts of genius and bafflement 😆 We witnessed something special that day. People are wrong when they say you shouldn't meet your heroes.

Warm pad fade 💕

Paddy Power are offering 5/1 on Oasis splitting up before the first gig:

Try it, let's see if they stand up in court 😜

Seems legit...

The wealth will trickle down?

Because it sets a precedent and business model the rest of the industry will follow?

Pantera is also hair metal or glam etc.

I bought an Ibanez UB804 last week, so I'm out. I regret nothing! 😆
