      One of the most rewarding schemes I’ve been a part of is as a mentor for the Help Musicians Co-Pilot Scheme. Such an amazing organisation and useful/resourceful for any music industry creative who needs guidance.

       

      Co-Pilot helps musicians to take the next step in their careers by matching them with an experienced music professional, who can share their expertise to help talented creators focus, grow and thrive.

       

      Partnered with PRS & The Ivor’s Academy. The initiative provides eight hours of mentoring across six months, but it is more than just mentoring. You will have access to resources, workshops and networking opportunities to develop your career. To make it as accessible as possible, Co-Pilot is an online network. Mentors and mentees can be located anywhere in the UK.

      I trust this bass has 19mm provenance, or is it a 35" provenance bass?

      Can you feed back to them that 40hz centre for Bass control is way too low to be usable as anything but a cut? 😉

  18. Can anyone identify these tuners I’ve just found. I know they’re Hipshot Ultralight's but not the exact model

      Looks like a HB6C 1/2" in matt chrome?

      The 1/2" is a guess; you'll need to measure the string post diameter to establish if it's a 1/2 or a 3/8.

  19. Bit of an emergency. Dep required Tomorrow 12 midday 08/01/24 for paid rehearsal in Pontypridd South Wales paid half MU performance rate plus travel expenses (out of my own pocket) 

    I have all the dots and setlist with links to the tracks 

    I’ve dislocated my shoulder and broken my little finger falling down the stairs

      Hope your shoulder and finger are on the mend asap.

  20. Looking for a new/different amp company to try that has good artist support in the UK/Europe?

      Of course, it depends on one’s gigs and what we expect from our backline….my experience is not others etc etc

      I`d agree with the Ashdown comments, great sounding amps and very good customer service. Their smaller Class D range, the RM amps are very good and make touring nice and easy.

  21. I'm doing a little series today. A Day in the life of | Pro Bass Player over on my Facebook & Instagram @phillcourtmusic
