...depends on which of two possible CEOs you are referring to. Henry or Donald.

There is something about a three piece band. It seems to be an ideal number of members when pubs are the staple diet for the band. With a traditional drummer, bass and guitar the instrumentation is covered and then vox are the trick. If you take advantage of tech, you can go a lot further with a three piece consisting of syndrums, keys and bass. You may decide that a six or even a seven string bass is a good option for those must have guitar solos in your set. Vox are still the trick though. Keep it simple and there is less to go wrong. Internal politics ought to be easier with only three in the band to keep in the loop. Three strong egos are more stable together than four or more. I think it's a bit like the engineering principle of triangulation for rigidity in structural design. As to whether the band has a proper leader will depend on many variables. The geographical placement of the band would largely dictate how democratic the band's choice of set, handling of bookings, promotion etc should be. Personally, I think a leader is a good thing as long as the nominated band member is not autocratic about it. For my fantasy band I wouldn't have a singer who does not play another instrument (tambourine does not count in this instance). I'd like the three members to each have a vocal role. I'd wait until the band had serious bookings and therefore a need for a front person before going down that route.

For free? I'd have to have an incentive. Also, I've got a face made for radio so cam would not be something I'd do willingly. I do support the notion however and would be happy to get involved in a BC team effort. PS: Previous experience was on BlogTV before it went worldwide and became commercial.

O'oof.

Phew! I was beginning to sweat over that. (guffaw guffaw) No really, I'm glad you've cleared that up. Heeheehee

Argh.

I hope that is one of your spins and not an accurate quote otherwise it leaves the stench of denial in its wake. Deckchairs on the Titanic for anyone?

Norrisole it is then. Official. It's good to get clarification on that. I suppose deepening the colours in the red veneer by applying oil is without value if it's at the back of a Norrisole.

SNICKERS! On reflection, you are spot on though.

Welcome to the forum. Did you replace him or is the rest of the band covering?

They do also come in orange however...

If this will be your YOB bass, I'd be very interested in the follow up as I was born in '62 myself. The notion that this could be the iconic British bass has just been posted. Given a lottery win I'd have one and encapsulate it in resin for posterity.

Just don't put felch and belch together else it'll get a bit messy 'round here. /facetious twaddle Anyway... what Gibson recovery?

Cool. From the image before it looked as if your G post was going to foul the D string run. Glad to see you aren't obsessed by symmetry on your string runs. I also love the way you are giving a classic looking instrument new legs, so to speak. Fives are great. How old is the body?

There are far too many G clamps for the key of F sharp. Would you settle for G flat? Clamps

It's a funny shaped f. That's all I can say. If you don't want to call it a hamster-nest-orifice what about calling it an eyebrow hole? /larks I like the way that you have lined the visible bit of the cavity interior. Is there any further finish going on that?

I'd like to have heard that. Have you any recordings of it?

Ah, I remember my first. Thanks for bringing back some youthful memories. PS: Please move this to the profanity topic.

That term both sucks and blows. Not necessarily at the same time however.

I don't know why you don't just say what you mean. Heeheehee On the UK ice cream industry; you could argue that the price of a ninety nine is threatened by the possibility of US owned Cadbury having tarrifs imposed upon Flakes. Anyone who wants to point out that these aren't imported from the US to the UK ought to take account of the fact that this is already a flaky opinion and they should not encourage me to derail this topic any further.

That's a very good example for this topic. Does any bass player succeed in playing Rhythm Stick with a plectrum? That would serve well as an answer to the question posed by the OP.

That's gonna be a highly desirable residence for today's thrusting young bachelor hamster.

As a matter of fact I recall Kanye West was saying he would run for office. How impossible would that be? Not much given what's been happening to pave the way. Scary Link

There are always alternatives. Be careful. You might find yourself following @Andyjr1515 over to the dark side and make yourself one of those widdly little six string thingies. Hang on though... would that be a neck through headless at 950mm? I'm liking it.

Nice. What ideas is it giving you? A mahogany neck perhaps?
