fixed it for you, as you seem to have forgotten something...😜

there is an oft' quoted phrase on Basschat that you may become aware of: Pics or it never happened!

I'm guessing you don't know who HJ is 😆

Approx 10 years ago, I gigged a Rick. I liked only the slim neck. Nothing else. YMMV which it obviously does because some people love them 😮 😜

I make sure to play only with clean hands, and use one of these after each gig.

what about p455w0rd?

I've got a cheap - but good - guitar, and I'm tempted. I wouldn't stick them on in a haphazard fashion, i'd work out placement beforehand. mmm stickers!

none at all! 😆

cor, that filter's good innit? I used numbers for letters and it still kicked in! 😮

the drummer in one of my bands does not venues that are 'too far away'. He's done that stinky poo before and can do without the hassle now.

http://www.mehrclef.com/index.html The above used to run their course where I used to work. They were held in high regard by the punters that I talked to.

I'm Jeff, and so's my wife!

people are artistically free to make whatever noise they want, and I'm free to choose not to listen to it. Everyone's a winner!

I'd just take my: https://www.snap-dragon-guitars.co.uk/snap-dragon-e-bass-4-p.asp Jeff are you planning/doing something similar to the Players School?

We call them 'paid rehearsals'

More so for originals bands.

Right, well in the absence of anyone else doing, i've possibly got us a venue. It's in Southampton about a mile 1/2 away from where the M27 is a junction away from the M3. So not in Southampton centre, but easy to get to. The cost for the room - large room that can hold approx 150 people, with a small stage in a corner - is £180.00, £100.00 of which is a refundable deposit. There is ample private parking, and we can make noise. the only draw back is that it's on the first floor and there is no lift. How does that sound? Now we just need a date...

welcome to Jeff and your lovely Cort basses!

it's a good job The Macc Lads never got endorsed...

ha! the filter follows legal precedent. As Johnny Rotten was quoted leaving the courtroom “Great! Bollocks is legal. Bollocks! Bollocks! Bollocks!”

not necessarily so. If you find the word 'bollocks' (b0ll0cks in case the filter gets triggered!) offensive, I can tell you that you are wrong, because the verdict of Glitterbest/Virgin vs The Crown 1977 ruled it not to be.

one for the tenuous claim to fame thread, but I was once in a band, with a vocalist whose father was friends with Sly.

you could try searching for a vintage guitarrón mexicano

i've played a few of the J types. Fantastic necks and sounded like J's.
