    We accept requests, and if it's on the set list, we'll play it!

    The Snapdragon folding bass is my spare that gets taken to most gigs. I wouldn't say I rotate, as that implies some order or intent, but I do gig all my basses.

    Billy Sheehan. I've learned a lot from his playing, not necessarily the widdly stuff, but being the bass player in a band.

    He used to be known as Rex Rocker, and was in a band who released 3 great albums, before selling out and changing their style completely to fit in with the prevailing popular rock/metal genre. One of the few bands whose attempt at jumping on the band wagon worked for them.

    Extended E strings for me, a la Kubicki style. Shame to waste the space next to it, so bend well a la Mark King style. 😎

    None of the Techs would have cared if it was David Bowie? derrière gravy!

    Had a punter trying to give the band a tray full of shots while we were playing. We were actually mid song and he was trying to hand them out. During the break a barmaid told us a punter had got a round in for us. Great, we thought, so we started to tell her what drinks we wanted. 'No' she said 'he's already ordered them'. Oh.

    This week I started learning it in earnest. Got the notes, now building up the tempo. FWIW I used to play in a metal band, incorporating elements of shred into my playing and soloing, so speed has never been a problem, but I am finding this a bit challenging. As I said earlier, Norm eh? He's a bit good!

    It's all gone horribly wrong https://www.loudersound.com/news/miley-cyrus-covers-metallica-and-nine-inch-nails-at-glastonbury?fbclid=IwAR2NeOn7QalxCGjmHyWhFUqAbhqFUFH1QovLsOx8J0_RwYfavqZvikYkBUc

    Xvives for me too. The only problem I've had was interference from the guitarists wireless, which went away when we changed channels. No lead is one thing, but no plug is real winner. Charge each unit and they last 5 hours.

    I've got ham, but I'm not a hamster!

    How it possible this is happening? I'm guessing that people doing the sound for bands during stadium tours, must among the best in the world at what they do? That being the case they have the knowledge of sound issues in stadiums, and how to rectify the problems. So is it that they just don't care?

    No interest in music festivals, but don't mind a Biker rally, which is essentially the same thing but with motorbikes.

    Not me but my basses. Punter asked me at a gig "why aren't you using your zebra bass?"

    Was that his last gig?

    Anyone used Resident Studios in London? https://www.residentstudios.com/ Opinions? ta.

    Apparently esteemed bassist and producer Youth, had an open sale at his home studio in South West London in February. Did any Basschatters go?

    Hats? Covers up the baldy heid, and if you use stage lighting, necessary to stop unwanted glare and reflection from said baldy pate.

    Cool. Not cold. As in epitome of cool 😎 Bootsy could wear a boiler suit & a welding mask, and would still be da funk 🤩

    Keep music live 😎

    Great thread! First bass was a Westone Thunder 1A borrowed from College. First owned bass Ibanez Blazer bass. First bass amp? Gotta think about that... Probably a god-awful Marshall 100w Guitar & Bass head. I think I paired it with a Peavey Black Widow cab.

    Best ever The Simpsons tonight, Homer the bass player 😄 "All the thrill of live music, without the fear of hearing something new..."
