Chris on his Hofner Good interview here https://bassmagazine.com/issues/issue-12/chris-wood-beautiful-danger/

I very nearly applied but I'm looking more for an originals set-list focussed on issues such as contamination of the food chain and the abuses of Big Pharma. Guess the search continues 🤔

Thanks Jack, quite extraordinary how inexpensive lighting is these days, I looked at the link and thought "Mmm, where've I seen that?', nipped into my eldest daughter's bedroom, and there it was, just tested it and it does the job really rather nicely with a lot of options for intensity and tone. IIRC it cost £9.99 👍

Lighting is going to be an interesting challenge as a lot of this wil be done in my vocal booth which is about a dark a room as can be imagined! Might be time to but some light coloured acoustic tiles 👍

As you know Jack, I am sufficiently tasteless! Thanks for your recommendation 👍

Slightly OT but I need to get a camera for recording interviews (probably two cameras in fact). I have no idea about video kit so any suggestions welcome?

He's got himself in a monkey trap entirely of his own making. Probably the only way out is to get some professional advice/help to structure his debts and obligations to customers, come clean to those customers by opening up authentic and honest channels of communication, and possibly seeks some form of coaching/counselling to help him avoid doing the same thing al over again. But all of that would require a level of bravery that most people don't possess, and the ability to sacrifice short-term security for something perhaps more meaningful. But he may simply see no option. Most people who do bad shit aren't bad people, they just f*** up and fall into a spiral of covering up with each stage making everything worse still. I've seen it happen to some good guys who had real talent but poor business sense, started out trying to do good and ended up hated by everyone. Not saying this is the case here as I don't know anything like enough of the facts, but I doubt he set out for things to be this way. I'm not meaning to be insensitive to or in any way critical of those who've lost their cash

Well put Lawrie 👍

Not paid much attention to this thread over the years, but wow, it's a joy to work one's way through the pages 👍

You need an Enfield Nick

I can echo all of that Nik, just realised that unless Nick/@Cairobill has two feedback threads I didn't leave him any feedback when he bought my Mesa Carbine, which when he got it home was dead (to paraphrase MPFC it was an ex-amplifier)!!!!! Many polite and understanding Whatsapp messages later the problem was resolved, but not only was it an absolute pleasure to meet him, he was an absolute gent about the issues, at no stage suggesting any fault or similar on my part. And yes, the guy can sure play that bass 👍

Ha ha, I'm a fair way off that stage mate Forgot the mention the scroll, which is held on to the headstock by the tuners only ....
