Richard R

Welcome aboard! Clearly you have lived a decent and honest upright life...

Pi$$ed myself laughing 🤣 It is truly awful, but doesn't induce hate, and I would definitely rather be stuck on a desert island with that rather than "Imagine"

Sadly not a lot of practice at the moment 😞. I mainly play in the worship bands at church, but I also run the livestream and other tech. Due to a couple of people having to drop out on the tech side I can't see myself getting to play in the next few months, and I'm not terribly good at practicing unless it's for a service. What I need to do is to get a list of songs together and just force myself to play them properly. And unlearn a couple of bad habits.

I think I've seen them painted in on a completely solid body instrument. Probably somewhere on this site.

This is the sort of thing I meant, the white binding on an old Rick

That looks like a slippery slope to 3D printed fake binding 😁

Welcome aboard. Lots to chat about here. What are you playing at the moment?

I was chatting with an old friend in the week. We both play 5 strings in worship bands and for the same reason - it's easier playing 5 than than playing 4. Transposing songs is easy, you don't have to remember chord shapes with open strings, songs in Eb aren't a problem, and occasionally you get to properly shake the room. But if I had the chance to own a particular 4 string I played a while back, I'd sell all my gear in a heartbeat to fund it. It's what moves you and makes you want to play well.

I also missed this post. I never met Old Horse Murphy in person but enjoyed his posts and threads immensely. RIP, Sir.

Nice song, but boy does she look bored!

What a great story to start the day with!

A few years back on another thread about deps and joining bands, someone kindly offered to post a link to the list they sent their deps, which was the list of songs, keys, chord charts and links to videos. I was trying to find it earlier this year to get some inspiration for practicing things I would never normally play, but couldn't find the thread, or the post. Was it anyone on this thread, and if so would she/he be able to post it again?

What an excellent idea! And as others said above - well done.

Said innocent basschatter would be stuffed regardless of the quality of brief they could afford- the rules are at the top of the thread and have stayed fundamentally the same for years. Plus if she or he is in any sense a gigging musician then chances are they can barely afford a pair of briefs in these straightened circumstances, let alone one with a wig.

That looks the business 👍

You'll have to print your own 😁

Did you get the Beavis and Butthead stickers?

Welcome aboard!

Pop it in the Marketplace section, but say you only want trades?

That could be read that your wife came along with you to carry the bass as it felt peculiar to you. Which would raise a lot of questions...

I'm not a fan of big block MOP inlays, but having those in the same wood as the body looks very smart indeed.
