Local band, Nuns Of The Tundra at Bristol Academy tonight. They booked the gig to play the second stage but determined to sell enough tickets to be upgraded to the main stage and they've done it. This will be by far their biggest show so hopefully, they'll be on top form.

I might buy this and play it with a pick through a signal chain including a selection of disgusting distortion pedals, a cheap solid state amp and one of those plastic TC cabs.

I can't remember where we got ours but they're a great way to get people to the merch table. Tell the audience theres free badges and they'll be straight there and you'll sell twice as many t shirts or records.

Is it any good for metal?

Nazi Punks - Dead Kennedys

I have officially joined the club. Here's my new (to me) 1985 BB1100S. My first Yamaha, first vintage bass and my first Japanese made bass and its really very nice. This is the one @Burns-bass shared the link for.

Liquid Jesus - Crippling Alcoholism Double point surely?

50 million year trip - Kyuss

One of the things I like about BC more than social media is its the one place there's no political BS. Its become rather overwhelming everywhere else and im sure thats partly due to deliberate manipulation of algorithms. There's even the bit useful advice here.

Im taking a break from Facebook, possibly permanently. Its mostly either adverts for crap, AI fake videos & images and political propaganda. Mostly political propaganda now it seems. At least here, the only discrimination is against pick players, slappers and Scott Devine

Where will the serial number be on a BB1100S?

Going blind - Melvins

Edgecrusher- Fear Factory

Supermassive black hole - Muse

I come here for the first time to just see whether anyone is selling a BB and the first thing I see is this bargain.

Big Bottom - Spinal Tap

One inch man - Kyuss

I only play Spongebobcore which is sea shanties played in the style of eastern Peruvian alpaca herder punk. Only played in C# minor pentatonic.

That is horrible and not in a good way. Too much synth for my liking

Thanks for all the tips. The Dakglass X ultra, Motorbass and Rat all seem like good suggestions. The Motorbass with the Spector could be a killer combination.

That would definitely do the job but would result in divorce if I spend that much!

Nuns Of The Tundra in Frome tonight. Absolutely brilliant performance, solid desert metal riffs and a mountain of groove. I booked tickets as soon as it was announced and then my daughters band Butane Skies were booked to support and they went down really well.

I took a year off and the got back to it at the start of this year with all new gear. It was like starting again, I could still play but I had a new motivation and different targets. I miss my old band but now have another and its fun again.

I need more filth. Ive replaced a bassist who played a Rickenbacker and Marshall Superbass with a very Lemmy-ish tone. Im using a Spector with an Ashdown ABM and a Two Notes Revolt preamp. Im never going to match the Rick/Marshall tone and the band aren't expecting that but I want more filthy drive on my tone. Are pedals the way to go? Or will they just sound a bit thin compared to a big valve amp?

Im late 40's and still go to plenty of gigs. Even get involved in the odd most pit. At a lot of the gigs I go to, im far from the oldest. Gigs aren't just for young whippersnappers
