Someone buy it before I do, please? I don't need it, I've got over years of GAS for one of these... But I've never seen one in such good condition priced so sensibly! No affiliation to the seller, just got five basses already and really don't want or need more!
we don't really know the price, reserve not met, I really don't understand why people do this, why not just start it at the reserve price point?

I read about this feller Steve White in Guitarist. The notion of learning McCartney basslines the wrong way round, while singing those parts, blows my mind.
me too, I'm a lefty and I've flirted with learning right handed, I soon realised how much work was invovled and gave up
-
another vote for the Bootleg Beatles, seen them a few times over the years, last time at Stone Valley last year, absolutely superb, felt for the Boomtown Rats who had to follow them on. Total respect for Steve White, he relearnt how to play bass left handed to be like Paul.

My dad is 72 years old and all the time his #1 band is Beatles, but i am 40 and never heard him listen to them.
12 hours ago, Dad3353 said:I'm now past 72, and never play Beatles stuff much at all. I remember distinctly, though, the effect they had at the time, and often hum, sing or think of their songs (just this morning, for example, singing in my head 'I'm looking through you'...). I don't need to play 'em to get that effect any more; in fact it may well spoil things. Memories and nostalgia are precious gifts, to be preserved. Wishing your Dad a long and healthy life.
I'm heading that way, although I don't deliberately play Beatles songs they occasionally get played on on my mp3 player, which is on shuffle, or on an oldies radio station I sometimes have on, I'm always enjoy them when they do

Lots of older Vintage Trace Elliot use heatsinks in lieu of fans.
yep, both my Trace Elliot's are fanless, one is a 200 watt series 5 the other 250 watt SMX, you don't need any more volume than these put out and they only weigh 13Kg

There's plenty I've had GAS for that I've bought and I wish I hadn't, that's what I remind myself of when GAS comes a knocking

These days I just use the tuner and the Sansamp clone
same here more or less, but I prefer the B1on, maybe I've just got used to it but the Sansamp clone sounds better to me

went to see a band last week, good bass player and fairly high in the mix, he played with both fingers and a pick, could you tell any difference? no, as my partner said "it's a bass!"

There is a website to do your own hearing test that sort off mimics the NHS one https://hearingtest.online/
You've probably lost some hearing around the 5k Hz range, most people do with age, go to your Doctor and get a referral to the NHS Audiology clinic, their hearing aids are free.
I tried some private ones for a month on approval, yes they were better than my out of date NHS ones (I'm due to get some up to date ones in Feb) but not £3k better.
They do take some getting used too, it took me a year and they still don't handle noisy environments well, but I would be without them

People would suggest obscure album tracks that not even the band's mum would know,
being in a band that has their own material as well, I just say "If we want to do obscure songs we may as well do our own" that usually does the trick 😂

our problem is not what new songs to put in the set, but which ones to take out

I'm all about the black Dunlop nylon 1mm bad boys. Been using them for years, and they seem to last for ages and I've never dropped one live at a crucial moment! Plus a great tone. Not too flexible, not too hard. Perfek.
used to use them, now switched to grey .60mm, less jarring of the (old)thumb joint, I've never dropped one either, they sometimes spin round so I'm playing with the wrong edge, a bit disconcerting but not a disaster

One possible good thing with streaming :
"UK artists dominate Top 10 singles of 2022 for first time since records began"
"For the first time since year-end charts were introduced more than 50 years ago, British artists have made up the entirety of the year’s 10 most popular songs in the UK."
The UK’s Top 10 most popular singles of 2022
1 Harry Styles – As It Was
2 Ed Sheeran – Bad Habits
3 Fireboy DML & Ed Sheeran – Peru
4 Cat Burns – Go
5 Ed Sheeran – Shivers
6 Kate Bush – Running Up That Hill
7 Glass Animals – Heat Waves
8 Lost Frequencies and Calum Scott – Where Are You Now
9 LF System – Afraid to Feel
10 Sam Fender – Seventeen Going Undernot sure what that's got to do with streaming tbh, more to do with the UK's recording industry being in a good place, mind you I've not heard any of them, must make the effort

IBTL, I know shocking isn't it? that not all of the UK's many ills are down to Brexit

One of the major reasons for discharge of less treated sewage at the moment is that brexit has interrupted the supplies of ferric sulphate which is critical for sludge removal processes.
not caused by Brexit, but a shortage of lorry drivers according to this anyway, which is affecting all EU countries last time I heard

I know anecdotal evidence should be treated with scepticism, but, our old guitarist worked for the NHS in middle management, he thought all the different trust were a big waste of resources, caused lots of problems because they all had their own way of doing things

Because several of our current government MPs including the PM own a considerable value of shares in US health insurance companies.
Ah, conspiracy theories, Labour have been banging on for years about the Tories privatising the NHS (remember Tony Blair's 7 days to save the NHS?) and because of this it's impossible to even discuss a different type of health cover without the 'US system' bogeyman being shouted from the rooftops, the NHS is just a bureaucratic money pit, it needs reform but everybody is too scared to do it because of the political fallout.
It needs taking out of the political arena so sensible decisions can be made

I'm convinced the government are trying to make the NHS so bad that they can force privatisation and a US style system because obviously if you're going to copy any system you go for the one rated as 34th best
why does it have to be a US style system, why not a French or German style system? on most measure they've got better health care than us

it has been covered before, I'm not proud, got some luminous tape of ebay,
edit, and before someone tells me I've stuck them on the wrong side, yes, I am a lefty 😂

If the RM didn't deliver junk mail they'd be less profit and therefore less jobs, in fact it could mean the end of daily deliveries, Don't know about anybody else but I receive a lot less mail than I used too

not as far as I know, in fact their could be a charge for having a reserve price, could well be wrong on that one though, ebay never charge me for placing a sale on there, they make the money on selling fees, no sale no fee
