Must admit Uke idea alone didn’t grab me but Uke/ABG combined would be good I think, it might not only allow those already playing them a space, but encourage others to give them a go 👍

Warmoth custom neck baseball bat rpofile, ebony board and bound, Allparts bound body curiously relic'd by previous owner.... Dimarzio PAFs, Gotoh Lollipops, Kiogon circuit, LaBella DTs. It sings, first rehearsal in anger tomorrow evening 👍

I suspect there’s a reason they stopped making them 👍

Hi @TigerPhoenix welcome, and as others have said, great venture, good luck with it, keep us posted 👍

First and last words are not often seen in the same sentence, glad to hear in this case they belonged together

This was the thread about the rehearsal room Ashdown that also surprised me

That's a hell of a rig for a studio 👍

Ha ha, I very nearly said just the same yesterday, one low-talent/high-ego member is manageable, but four of them.........

Fixed it for you 👍

Jeez that was really quite pretentious wasn’t it 😂

My take on string selection is that they’re one component of a tripartite system - strings, instrument, player. I love Gamuts on my 4/4, and if I play my Evahs the same way on the same instrument they don’t work for me. But if I back right off on the Evahs and use more pad and less bone in the finger, I can get close(r) to that lovely airy tone. I don’t think there’ one string to rule them all, just a moving triangle of parameters 👍

Agreed, I've been in a lot of bands, and have fallen out with a lot of people in them - some of who I'm still great friends with and with who we still occasionally have a damn good laugh about it all, a couple of others I never spoke to again - and as the result have left a lot of bands over the years and also seen many others leave. But I've never been sacked and never sacked anyone, just seems an odd thing to do in a band....

Most of which, among decent people, are the cue for a grown-up conversation and an amicable - or at least civil - parting of the ways, not a sacking. Perhaps it's semantics?

Ouch, I had the same problem a few years back, not sure I can help much, but I can empathise

Traitors was on ITV 👍 All joking aside, if it was me I'd pick up the phone and tell B exactly what's going on, I'd then pick up the phone and tell A what I've just done. I;d then resign from the band, go to the pub and have a pint. The only way to change the membership of anything but a fully pro band is to resign from it (or allow someone else to do the same, which can be done sensitively if things have got to that point which they sometimes do). Sacking someone from an amateur band is bollocks, especially if done in an underhand way

f*** me that's grim

One of my bitsas, increasingly my go to these days, La Bella DTs, baseball neck, just does the job really 👍

Sometimes you can't be arsed to drag your rig out of the car and walk into a room thinking "I'll use whatever's in there tonight". Last night was such a night, and what a pleasant surprise it was, OK, the lows needed a bit of pulling with some push to the mids and highs, but wow, good old Peavey, and good old Orange 👍 Had a similar surprise with a rehearsal room Ashdown ABM a few years back, I'll see if I can did that pic out also 👍

Yes

It's been my experience, perhaps I've either been lucky or have lower standards
