I know nothing about pianos but reading through some of the replies to this goes a long way to explaining why the pianos in church halls often sound bloody awful.
According to wikipedia he was an architect who worked on the Thames Barrier and redevelopment of Covent Garden. It doesn't say anything about his bass playing, though. 😁
I was watching an Art of Guitar YouTube video about mistakes in recordings, today. Stuff like "Cannonball" by the Breeders. A lot of bands these days would have removed the incorrect slide up on the bass at the beginning, for example.
I have the Spark Go. I haven't used it with the bass yet, but it's dead handy for guitar. It sounds ok, but when you play through headphones it sounds really good. Spark have released a set of headphones for silent practice. I'd be interested to find out what they are like.
I can remember a duo in a bar once, one on keyboards, the other singing and possibly playing guitar, doing Oasis covers. The singer made Liam Gallagher sound like Pavarotti by comparison.
I was watching a Trogly YouTube video yesterday, where Aldo Nova appeared to be playing a Chibson copy of his own Gibson signature guitar. He was working on a cruise ship, or something like that, so Trogly reckoned he probably just didn't want an expensive guitar getting damaged/stolen by a passenger or damaged by a salt water atmosphere and had bought a cheapie and fitted his hardware of choice to it.
