Stub Mandrel

In a box somewhere I have a basic phone with an e-paper display .

In the 80s/90s I used a 150W Laney Probass. Imagine anyone daring to call a 150W head 'pro' these days!

I bought some cheap powered speakers from Thomann. To their credit they give RMS power as well as the manufacturers claimed power. "Power: 600 W Peak / 140 W (RMS)"

Man hugs.

Always more productive with the rest of the band present 😁

And they had to stop after Trading Standards reminded them it was illegal.

Only stiff compared to rounds.

3 hours is the point where creativity and concentration die...

I'm not convinced the old gear is better, but it can be very good.

I think mine is about 96lbs.

Lee recently gave me a stupidly good deal on a bass. I'll chip in.

Hang on... those dots mean Höfner shpuld be pronounced Hefner. Mind blown.

The Kay Gremlin I bought on Basschat. Google suggests that only a handful have ever been sold on the Internet.

I always liked PMT. Changing the name fo Professional Music Technology to Play Music Today smacked of desperation and the stores I saw in the last year felt like they were being run down. So that's Gamlins and PMT gone from Cardiff It was Cardiff PMT where I finally felt like a half decent bass player... I was noodling trying out a TE Elf and they turned the background music off 🤣

Used a P tonight at rehearsal. Like my Flea jazz it has early sixties spec fender vintage pups and the same strings also in similar 'used but too bright to change condition, so fair comparison. 100% honestly, I felt it wasn't as 'present' as the jazz had been on Saturday.
