Apparently the fish are happy with Brexit, it means they can now have blue passports, and of course the added bonus - nobody’s catching them.

On the night of christmas eve, the house of one of the neighbours adjacent to our back yard caught fire and burned out completely. The lady living there (43yo) did not survive the burning.

Later that night, the man of the house - a heroin addict with repetitives episodes of psychosis in the past was arrested by the police in our city center. The man had locked his girlfriend in and burned her. This murder took place 50 meters from here, and we were aware the man was a danger to himself and his environment.

The neighborhood has called police a number of times and he would get 'help' but after a day or two he would always be returned to his home.

Now the woman has burned to death and there was nothing we could do to prevent it.

I have not slept since. 2020 is the worst year ever.

I can't even PLAY bass, why am I drop D on a fretless failing to transcribe Bela Fleck?

Oh yeh, because it's LUSH and I'm DESPERATE to make those noises.

Continuity announcer on C5 has just described Home Alone as "the greatest Xmas movie ever made". I can't decide if that's complete boIIocks or complete and utter boIIocks.

What's on my mind?

I'm thinking that the Status Update function has never been the same since the site migrated to the new format.  Some members (knowingly or unknowingly) see it as a private messaging service.

My burning question is:

Now that we no longer get @Les's Post Gig Gastro Guide* - the PG3, if you will, do we actually need the shoutbox at all?

We have public Topics and Private Messaging for that stuff after all.

Just an opinion.

Hello, I’ve been playing and teaching bass for 37 years. I have an old headless Status bass in metallic cream with a bolt on graphite neck and a Nanyo Bass Collection fretless in cherry red wood grain. My amps are a Line 6 LD300 Pro which is a bit temperamental but it’s loud and doesn’t fart which is ideal for gigs if I ever do one again. I have got a bit fed up of trying to hold a band together long enough to play bass in public so I also have a Roland Microcube Bass RX which zI plan to use for busking on my own. It’s loud enough for that and battery powered. I don’t drive as an visually impaired. I’m also Autistic so quite happy on my own as I’m socially awkward. I absolutely love bass guitar. I like all styles of music. I learned trumpet at school and taught myself piano and drums (not properly). Bass is what I think I do best and practicing and improving gives me great satisfaction. That feeling of something becoming easier and second nature through dedicated practice still excites me and there’s always more to learn. My main influences musically are probably a bit stereotypical but Steve Harris, Stanley Clark and Jaco Pastorius are amount them along with Michael Manring who I’d never heard till last week (wow). If you’re still reading at this point, thank you 🙂

Was supposed to be thinning the herd...oh dear

Oh man another bass with issues😡 .  Frets are tarnished, I gave them a vigorous wiping with a damp cloth to see if it would come off and no joy, I am reluctant to order the 1200 grit and start working on the frets on a new bass in case I bodge it

In that case I'm confused

Just moved my BASSTHING t-shirt, facemask and hat website to BASSTHING.uk, might use the .com later to set up a store in dollars for our friends over the water.
