...and maybe microporous tape as well.

Superglue. Most definitely superglue. Looks quite spectacular from the photo! Good luck 👍

Still worth it! Got to be an interesting project, surely?! Def go for it!

If you don't try you'll never know. DO IT!!! 👍

Love her music. Loved her scene in The Blues Brothers. Fantastic voice. RIP Aretha

...but but but - yoofs are invincible & immortal *unsure*

... failing that, put bricks in their paper round bags, little bas***ds! 😀

Everyone has something to contribute, its just a matter of finding the right context. The OP is going to be the best bassist for the right band. The hard part is finding THAT band. It will happen, I'm sure 🍀

I joined a new band last year (I was 42). It didn't work out for a number of reasons, but partly because the other band members, despite being in their late 30's, had teenage expectations of how much work was required to get gigging. Apparently 1/2 a rehearsal was enough for a new, original song, then move on to the next; planning gigs a fortnight away with a setlist of 3 partially finished songs etc. Not impressed. I think that you're never too old to rock n' roll (JT), but maturity and experience makes you a better musician and band member. You'll find the right band & forget all about the yoofs 😀 Good luck!

Thank-you Hellzero 🇫🇷

I suppose the real question is, is it any good for metal? 🤘

My first bass was a Westone 1A Thunder ⚡ , bought from a friend in Newcastle in December 1993. It became "The Tiger Bass" shortly after. This was my main gigging & recording bass 'til I stopped gigging in the mid-2000's. It also featured on the band's album cover. I love this bass, I have never played a bass that is so comfortable (I did learn to play on it tho). Westones are not boutique or desirable, but this bass is the reason I still play.

I have 6: Yamaha BB434, PRS SE Kingfisher, Gretsch Junior Jet 2220 II, Westone 1A Thunder, Aria Pro II Magna, cheap Violin Bass (copy). I'm not allowed any more unless I sell 1 😧

Hi Jon!

very wise 👍

...often the cause of multi-car pile-ups is found to be the transportation of Trace gear to and from gigs!

...that is an unfortunate side-effect common to all Trace Amplification.

Does it come in other colours...Olympic White-Goods?

As someone who works in the construction industry, my considered opinion is that you'll be ok with a Trace combo, as its gravitational pull is exactly equal to that exerted by the world, so the concrete flooring slab will be sandwiched between them quite safely 🤣

Yes, I think that sounds about right *attempts deadpan face*

ps. I'm sure its not a trap...but whose amp is she going to use?

Decoupage finish sounds interesting & different! What designs is she going for & how will you do it?

All good, thanks John. Hope you enjoy basschat 👍

Hi John!
