Roughly, pre - 90s, I'd say.
Although that might be because I'm not comfortable considering the 90s as a 'vintage' era just yet.
Mine is pretty much antique then 🤣

In my opinion (others may have different/wrong opinions) the best grunge album. Mike Star's bass sounds amazing on every track
A masterpiece

If I could get rid of the orange privacy box I'd be a happy man.

Fender Marcus Miller Jazz (sorry to give a straight answer)
Yes, he is a great player and really drives the sound of the band.

I purchased an unusual bass from Bert, he was an absolute gent and a real pleasure to chat to as well!

They are fantastic live. I saw them in Bristol at the Marble Factory - have never seen a crowd move in there quite like that.
It was visceral!

For all of these types of instruments, Cheesy Guitars is an invaluable source of information.

Same at Tool gigs. From what I've heard, they can be a bit over enthusiastic in enforcement.
Figures. They give you fair warning, I have little sympathy!

Phones are banned at Puscifer gigs, you will be ejected if you get caught using one.
I approve of this.

If you don't quite hit the 25 confirmed @scrumpymike then please let us know. I'll happily up my contribution to pick up some slack.

You need something flat to check across the frets. You can buy fret rockers but there are many objects that will do the job.

Recently became aware of this guy, Chanan Hanspal, through a series of interviews he did with Andy Partridge from XTC (well worth watching). I subscribed off the back of those (and his content on Zappa and the Mighty Boosh) and this popped up a few days ago.
I really like his style, and his musical knowledge and how he imparts it is top drawer - like a Beato of the Valleys!
That's a good watch, I enjoyed playing along with it 👍

Aww, grand. I don't like pointy basses as a rule, but there's something about the Explorer shape that I really like. I wish I'd bought an Aria ZZB back when they were dirt cheap.
I'm bringing something you may find interesting too 😉

Just looked through the list. A lot of big names in there, and I didn't realise Nik Kershaw was born in Bristol. Not something the good folks of Ipswich would want you to know!
And don't forget Bananarama...

I live in Bristol and have done for years; I love it, but although the music scene is great, it does tend to include a lot of pretty niche bands and some very enthusiastic archivists, perhaps leading to over-estimates of its scale... If you take out Massive Attack, Portishead and Roni Size, there aren't many names in there that people outside the city will know.
I'm going to respectfully disagree, there's loads in that list that are fairly common knowledge.

Bristol must be up there, especially in the electronic dance music realm

Plywood is not the worst material to make a bass from.
Do you still have the original bridge?

It's taken a while to gather my thoughts after day 2 of Forwards festival.
Scalping stepped up to the main stage after Viagra Boys had visa problems and were an excellent dance/metal crossover act. Amyl and the Sniffers were loud but left me feeling like their set was at least 10 minutes too long despite only playing for 40 minutes!
Primal Scream did the same thing they've done since the 90s.
I trekked across site to catch a bit of Leftfield who were cracking, but I had to leave them to it for the main event back at the West stage.
Aphex Twin.
Where to begin? Definitely not for everyone! At times it felt like I was being psychologically reprogrammed, it was incredibly trippy and literally mind blowing. The man is a one off - capable of beautiful haunting music one moment, proper screwface inducing bass grooves in another, and then becomes a military grade audio visual assault weapon. He played until they cut him off, we could have happily stayed with it for hours more. I danced, cried and shouted with joy but mostly just laughed hysterically at the sheer audacity of it all.

A great day at Forwards festival in Bristol yesterday - highlights for me were a set from Goldie plus band, Bonobo playing as the sun went down and then an absolute masterclass in headlining a show by Erykah Badu. Her band were super tight, she was a queen diva with no less a great than Lalah Hathaway on BVs to ice the cake a little more. I'm back there today, looking forward to it!

I'm browsing on my Android phone, Google browser with no adblockers. I've clicked 'got it' and now get no extra ads, just the little banner ad at the top (currently Rotosound new picks).
For my configuration at least it appears to be working exactly as intended 👍
