We’ve played the same set twice the same evening in the same pub, lot of people leave and arrive, those that don’t often too pissed to notice 🙂

Indeed! So is it simply a function of unused sockets, I’m still a little unclear on the actual cause? For example if it were simply an unused socket problem you’d not need to link send and return with a cable, just insert a plug? Am I being daft?

….. by which I mean …. First, have you said in clear terms what you’ve said here, that to all intents you’ve been fired and given no reason, and Second, that as you are friends you are understandably quite upset about this I’ve been here before myself and with friends, the inability of musicians who on stage or in the studio are able to communicate effectively and authentically to do the same when it comes to pragmatics and politics has been a constant theme

Thank you guys 🙏

….painful but not impossible 👍

A swap might be in order 👍

Holiday reading kids permitting 👍

Thanks @SimonK but why does simply inserting a cable and then removing it do the trick?

Have you discussed where your band stands? You suggested a hiatus, might be they’re just keeping busy assuming you’re not wanting to be involved? It’s really easy to feel excluded when bandmates start new projects, but feeling excluded is not the same thing as being excluded

Have you discussed this with them? There might be a less apparently cynical explanation?

Just tried this with a rather perplexing problem and it did the tirck. So, why does this work?

IMO 4mm is too much to risk taking off a vintage neck. There's another thread here somewhere in which people were describing the occasional 'banana' neck that came off the Fender production line in the 70's. I'm not sure what the reasons for those would be, but if I were you I'd be worried that removing 4mm of wood would reduce the structural integrity of the neck with the associated risk of fruit-like outcomes

I came here assuming this thread was about recording and compression But that sounds like a good app as long as it's accurate, which if it's based on the information on most courier delivery tracking websites, probably won't be the case

His first album still takes my breath away 30 years after I heard it. Electric bass playing was changed forever by it, from expectations of what was possible technically to the idea that bass guitar can be a legitimate lead instrument. He and his style are cliches for a reason

Agreed

By which I mean that at 36 - and despite all he achieved - he was still a young man, and died at a time when addiction was not understood and treated in the same was as it is today RIP Jaco 🙏

At the time he seemed so old, the recent passing of Liam Payne who at 31 is being treated by the media as not far out of childhood, perhaps brings a little perspective to Jaco’s death also 🙏

Thanks for posting Mick 🙏

I think there are different degrees of nylon/steel. I find Silver Slaps quite nice to play and they also sound rootsy/gutsy, but I briefly used a set of black nylons - possibly Rotosound although I'm not sure - that both felt and sounded quite plastic, not something that would be a problem so much on electric bass but I really didn't like on uptight. They may have improved with some playing-in, but I decided against it. The problem with all of this of course is that you might love the type of strings I don't

I have the sense that entirely pragmatic solutions might be frowned upon in orchestral circles?

My approach to recording a noodle that works out half decently is my iPhone

Rude/stupid/offensive things other 'musicians' have said about a band's performance to one or more members of that band is a whole new thread and I imagine a very long one

I'd be quite miffed to buy a Precision Bass only to find it has a Jazz width neck also! That combination has never felt right to me even though I'm quite happy with a 38mm width on a Jazz.....
