Not heard that in decades, I just remembered it as a pop song. Played though a proper HiFi it sounds great.

Today I was informed by that my playing was "not too shabby". Then I listen to Phil Lesh and realise I have soooo far to go even on the apparently simple stuff. Love this album!

There must be enough astrophotographers now to warrant a separate forum, or at least a dedicated thread. And I thought basses could become an expensive hobby.😁

This is fabulous. Complicated, but fabulous!

Agreed - much better than elephant ears.

Status Qui? (Actually that would be a good name for a French tribute band.)

Definitely a positive result, now the journey begins. I have asked some of our team to pray for your church. "A church in East London ", based on your profile location. I'll update them.

That would definitely be easier, as would the slimline pickup mentioned further up the thread. 🤔 Of course what I should do is practice playing the basses I own, not get sidetracked by this sort of interesting challenge!

This thread has got me thinking I might have to build a Sensonido copy. Does anyone know what the piezo pickups are?

I consider myself chastised; you did explicitly exclude removing letters but I was hoping you had forgotten.

Hope it goes well.

That doesn't make your post any less valuable, Owen. Though it does make me wish St Paul had signed off his letters in a similar manner 😁

@Bassassin - have you thought of writing an encyclopedia? Seriously, your posts are a wealth of obscure and fascinating information.

As has been said before, this thread is often an opportunity to let of a bit of steam, we don't necessarily post about the typical services where things go OK. As a contrasting example: Last Saturday almost everyone involved in worship at our church got together for the morning for one of the periodic sessions to reflect on the worship at our church. The theme this time was "excellence". I missed it, being out of the country, but I copy here the short version notes on band prep. This is pretty much what we do anyway. I'm not posting this to say "hey we're great", just to show that it's not all doom and dismay at the coal-face of Church music!

Welcome aboard!

Missed out on visiting the Isle of Capri this week, shame as I was looking forward to finding this bar 😁

Get thee behind me @rwillett!!

Thanks for posting that. This confirms that I really must not buy a 3D printer, as it would end in divorce! The problems you describe are exactly the sort I like solving, and would happily waste hours doing so.
