I like jazz that immediately creates atmosphere. Not the crazy-random-notes one where the musicians try to force you to turn it off or walk out of the gig - the one without any soul or groove. But then there's stuff like this...

I like it.

I’ve seen quite a lot of these videos... maybe my percentages were a bit too optimistic then.

This. There is a lot of great people in courier companies. Most of them can’t deal with the pressure properly. With the amount of parcels today every major courier company knows that there will always be work. And on paper everything looks nice and clean with all the rules and requirements, the reality is very different. There is only so much a human can do before he’s forced to cut corners. And that’s when the damage happens. The worst thing for me is that the people who are responsible for putting such a ridiculous targets on courier have never done a delivery in their lives. Most of it is all estimate. And they always try to squeeze more and more out of the hard workers. Not much we can do about it... Edit: On the other hand we can’t forget about the amount of parcels being delivered in total. The damaged ones are probably a very small percentage. Mistakes happen. And we, the bass players, sometimes driven by GAS are using couriers to post naturally fragile things. Sooner or later, an accident happens. I doubt very much that a courier would damage anything on purpose, 99% of the time it’s just an unfortunate event.

Time waster. Just leave him be.

I’m 27 and I do find myself listening to “old” music most of the time. I’m talking 50’s-70’s mainly. Some really great jazz funk bands from Eastern Europe, mainly Poland. Then you have things like Gabor Szabo - great Hungarian guitarist. He’s stuff from early 60’s sounds really modern to me. Generally, I think there’s lots of amazing music to be found in every era/year/day.

Says in the video - £100

Got some strings from Dave, quick and easy - thanks!

Freshly roasted coffee. I was unknowingly drinking crap coffee for years until I found a great quality, freshly roasted coffee.

I used aluminum foil - the one from the kitchen! Use the shiny side and it works wonders on chrome.

I thought this topic was going to be about GAS.

Oh, oh, OH! Any pictures available? 🙂

I’m 27 and I feel the same! Haha

Mmmm, sounds beautiful. Care to post a picture?

Totally agree. I’ve just highlighted two extremes to make a point.

It would make sense if people also stated what they do for a living. 20 basses is probably not too crazy for a pro but pretty insane for let’s say... a librarian 🙂
