All true. But you'll get the thread closed by mentioning it. Brexit is a banned subject on here. You'll get a slap on the wrists for posting about it.

Report them. It's against eBay rules to do that.

I will ironically like this post. Considering in liking it by staring at the screen on my smart device. 😂

Nice one! Well done. I'll give it a listen later. 👌

I only drank at a stadium gig once. I spent the whole night p#ssing my leg off, and by the time the gig had finished I'd pretty much sobered up and was left with a banging headache. Never again! 😂

The clue is in the title.

Bass players are supposed to be. It was the drummer let you down. 😂

I don't know how you would even quantify "making it" in this day and age. Big money record deals are mostly a thing of the past, except for the exceptional few, and even mega huge bands aren't making a lot from recording thanks to streaming services.

Never had any interest in being in a professional touring band. There are very few worse ways I can imagine making a living than constantly being on the road and in a different place every other day. I picked up a bass at 15 because my mates were in a band and needed a bass player. I just wanted to hang about with my mates. 30 odd years later and my motivation is exactly the same. Put me in a room with people I know and get along with to create music and I'm happy as a pig in muck. Start talking about traveling here for this gig, and there for that gig and I have no interest. I can just about muster the energy for the occasional local gig. Other than that I'm not interested.

Can't you just use something in the public domain? Any old classical stuff, Beefoven and the like, is usually fair game.

Fair play to em. I'm not even 50 and I can't be arsed with gigging. To still be enjoying it in their 70's / 80's I can't fault em. What else are they gonna do? Sit around playing dominos.

No. I'm out of money. But the net effect is the same.

Two years too early for me. I could tell you exactly what I was listening to in 1987. But in 1985 I was only 10 and didn't have either a Walkman or any interest in music.

I want Harley Benton to release an affordable multi scale (fanfret) bass. The only thing on the market at the budget end is the Red Sub and from everything I've seen it seems to be utter junk.

My main player is a Traben Neo LTD. 34" scale. Seymour Duncan Bassline pickups and preamp. Grover tuners including drop D. Brass adjusta-nut and the highest of high mass bridges. Picked it up on eBay about 4 or 5 years ago under £300. It plays and sounds absolutely superb. I've thought about moving it on and buying something a little more "grown up", but I've never played anything that sounds or feels anywhere near as good. Certainly not in the price range I could afford.

Already six pages of them here. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/465306-misheard-lyrics-whats-yours/page/6/

I was tempted to post this yesterday. I'm a big fan of Tom. Always interesting. 👍

I'm putting in a fire sale bid of £3.50 for the Bullring.

I've got to agree with @SteveXFR on this one re the Cure. They're everything I should like about a band. The bass is superb in most of their stuff. But I just can't abide Smith with his applied in the dark makeup and stupid back combed bird nest hair. The guy makes me feel physically ill.

I really wish I'd bought one when they came out and they were selling new for about £200. I was put off by the horror stories of them weighting about the same as a boat anchor.

There was one on here a while ago advertised at a grand. Way overpriced IMO. I quite fancy one but I think the cheapest I've ever seen one is £600. I'd probably take a punt at half that, but they're already way out of a realistic price range for me.

In that case you might be better off looking for something which is better matched power wise to the 12's. The Behringers would probably "cope" but there would always be that worry that you're pushing them too far.
