CAB physics is too complicated for me these days. In fact, spelling AMP or CAB is beyond me most of the time too, so I just DI and PA. Fewer letters, plus it's then the sound man's problem 😉

Welcome aboard! No idea is anyone in the US has built the BC112 but, as you've probably already realised, @Phil Starr is the CAB man.😁

While I am sure that the builder here does not partake*, there are some that must surely be on drugs. "Luthier's Lucy" maybe?

I meant if you lurk round your neighbour's house prying on their behaviour you might learn things about them you're not supposed to, or really didn't want to! I've just noticed you're in Norway, I apologise in advance for the English schoolboy humour!

+100 for getting the rhyme correct.

Just seen this. Hats off to him! He's making stuff for his own benefit, flogging the assembled parts so they don't clutter up the house, and someone is happy to pay £16 for it. Sounds OK to me, as long as I don't have to play it.

In nuclear physics the strong force is mediated by gluons, which are pairs of subatomic quarks. There is already the pair of "strange" and "charm" quarks. Are you sugesting a new pairing of a "Bizzare" quark and a "WTF" quark?

Welcome, err back? Lurk and learn - it sounds like a good idea on BC, but would get you into trouble with the neighbours...

Welcome aboard! Check out the SW Bass Bash in the Events thread.

Stealing that one!

Grateful Dead, Cornell '77

Not with this band - I am very definitely the least experienced and capable. All the others could wing it by ear.

Can we pin this thread? Or a pinned post in Wanted and Marketplace with the list of red flags to watch out for?

I'm playing in an ecumenical service next Wednesday. Yesterday afternoon, ie a week in advance, I had a message listing the songs, the keys, and the CCLI numbers. Woohoo! No excuse for messing up now.

Welcome aboard! From just outside of Birmingham, England!

You are very welcome to borrow my #2, but I suspect a 5 string bass currently residing in Birmingham with a partially jammed truss rod isn't going to be much good to you. PM me if it is.

I agree it's a T2 fail, but you don't have to sign up for the T2 hardcore/hairshirt version. I'm not. I'd be interested to know how you get on with the lesssons, I could do with some technique lessons and there are more tutors. on-line in person these days.

Oh yes, but half the fun is arguing the edge cases. Especially when that distracts from (whispers... actually practicing...)

How about borrowing something (in this case a drum pad) on long-term loan? I think it's a fail as I don't actually need it...

That's only my view, you can appeal to @neepheid. And it’s only tier 2, which is the stricter version.

Are you currently bassless?

It was at the first Bass Bash I attended, so I didn't know who anyone was. I wondered if it was yours when I posted that photo and read the name again. 😀 I would hate to be the poor sod who had to transcribe from the recordings!

VSTs are in the signal chain, like a new synth, pedal or hardware compressor would be. Probably a tier 2 fail? A friend of mine just updated his laptop and was moaning about the length of time Apple took to register all his sample libraries and suites on the new hardware. He did concede there was over $2000 worth of them. That's definitely virtual GAS. (vGAS?)

Is "banjo strap" a euphemism?

Ah well, in that case you're just "taking delivery" this year and as the commercial arrangements were made last year, it's within the rules. We can sort out my fee later.
