I thought this was a continuation of the 'on stage nudity' post....

To think Daltry once had one of the best voices out there.
-
I think that is nonsense, to be honest. I've had more than my fair share crap heavy basses and currently own some superb lightweight ones.

9th. 😁 I could pop it over on 15th or, if you would like to fiddle with it before then, I could drop it round to you at home if you PM me your address. All I have to do is find the box and instructions, which are somewhere in the loft........

To be perfectly honest I have only used it once at a gig. I've spent longer programming it than using it! It seems to do the job. With Setlist Maker I have it so one footswitch moves onto the next song, the other to scroll through the notes. I can't see me getting much use out of it - seemed like a good idea at the time You are welcome to borrow it and, if it does what you are looking for, I'd sell it to you for not much. Although I suspect you've already pulled the trigger

Warren, I have an Air Turn Ped Pro that I use with Setlist Maker on my Android tablet. No idea if it will work with your gear - I think it would - but you are most welcome to use it to find out.

Would be a good idea. I would use any one of three in southeast Essex. http://www.essexamprepairs.co.uk/ seem to be industry standard here, based in Witham near Stag studios. https://www.electronicmusicservices.co.uk/ - these guys are nearer for me, near Prittlewell Church https://www.leightonsguitarshop.com/ - Leighton Jennings is even nearer in Leigh-on-Sea, plus he does instrument set-ups/mods as well as custom amp and guitar builds.

Why do people out "Best Offer" on their sales?
Paul S replied to prowla's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Something that amused me recently when I was in the market for an old Trace Elliot combo. I can't recall the figures now but there was a low starting bid with a 'best offer' button, so I made what I felt was a fair offer above the starting bid. It wasn't just declined, it was completely ignored. I then found an old Peavey combo so all was good from this end. The TE combo auction ran its course and sold for less than my offer -
I had one. It was lightweight, had a nice 40mm nut width, neck was amazing. The best thing was the tone coming out of the stock pup - organic woody P bass tone that was like the old Wizard Thumper or similar. Cost me around £200 and was the best bass for the money I have ever had through my hands. It wasn't as nice as my JV Squiers but it wasn't far short. So of course I sold it.

Worst and best versions of the same Beatles tunes

Just realised there is a link between these two bands! -

I always quite liked this version of Helter Skelter, although I am not entirely sure why And this version of Day Tripper -

This. On the neck plate.

^ this for me, too. Strangely my first fretless had lines and dots where they would be on a fretted (Squier VM Jazz) but my next was a Westone Thunder 1A with a blank board. Loved that bass!
-
Nice review, fuelling my GAS nicely
-
I favour black. Either black bodies, bwb scratchplate and a maple neck and fretboard or the all black stealth look with no scratchplate, ebony board and painted headstock..
-
Looks like Eurosender will do it.

I had something 'similar' last year. I usually like to know my set backwards and have never depped for anyone before. A drummer I used to be in a band with a while back got in touch on 1st December to see if I could dep for their bass, who had to go to hospital for an op, on 8th. She said it was all regular covers. Then she took a pic of what was their current set list and I had actually only played 4 of them before. Quite a number I had never even heard! One rehearsal with the band. Yikes! Got through it ok and, have to say, I quite enjoyed the experience.

Wouldn't be any good for a female bass player as she'd keep putting it down.

I always take a back up to gigs. I am currently down to just 2 x 5 string basses and I take both to gigs for the bands where I use 5 string basses. They are a Maroose-chick 5 string precision and a fairly heavily modded EBMM Sterling 5 that is now passive with a Delano P pickup in it. For the new blues band I use 4 string basses - I could use the 5s, of course, but, well, you know. I have a choice of 2 x short scale and one long scale so at the moment I tend to take the two short scale. They are a Gibson Les Paul Junior DC that is my current best and favourite and a lightly modded Squier VM Mustang. My fab JV Squier P stays at home in the case, mostly. Been a while since I've had that few basses. Not sure how long it is going to last. Oh, yes, I also have 2 electroacoustic and an EUB but they don't count

Indeed - my 'litmus test' dish whenever I try a new Indian restaurant as hot sweet and sour is a tricky balance of flavours to get right. If they do I'll go back, if not I don't.

You can't see mine because of my waistcoat, or if I tilt my head and the brim of my stetson covers the image. Plus I am usually obscured by my music stand. I think that covers it.

Big air metal, certainly.
