For context

Current Arsenal includes an RBX775 and L2500. The yamaha is just magnificent, probably cus over had ot forever. Maybe not best B in world somight put high C on it

I disagree, try a taper core B string and you may change your mind. I currently have MTD's on mine and the B is excellent.

Ffs I blinked

That's because you didn't buy a ticket, isn't it?

Man, did I win in the raffle?

Everyone did except me.

Just got home and unpacked. Enjoyed chatting with my fellow bass geeks and tried some nice basses out.

I jest.

I used to be really early for everything too, it was due to traffic anxiety and entering 'waiting mode' when any event was coming up leading to just going early to avoid the boredom.

My wife has ADHD and she taught me to chill out a lot.

Remember what I said about being early…

…I’m an idiot.

Sleep is for the weak.

50 min drive for me, leaving about 10.

Too many pages and I'm lazy, what time can we get there from?

You haven't said what you actually want, they're all very different.

Support act for a band in Brum. Headliner was supplying a 200w Warwick Gnome with a 110 cab, which I didn't think would cut it for how loud we play, so took my Ashdown RM500 and a 210 cab. On stage sound wasn't great for monitoring so glad I could crank my amp to get some top end out of it.

The singer from my old metal band 2006-2007 came along too, hadn't seen him in 15 years so that was cool to catch up. Not a big turn out at about 25-30 people but first gig of the year and blew the cobwebs out.

No particular issues or messups - solid performance.

My gear has obviously changed since I originally posted. It might still as there are 2 whole days left.

It'll be:

Dingwall D-Roc 5

MTD Kingston Super 5

Yamaha BBG4 (will be for sale at a cheeky price)

Warwick Gnome 280w

Ashdown RM210

Zoom B2 Four

..and short fingernails if you intend to slap anything.

Can we stop the S&M chat already.

@ped do you have an alert set up for that phrase ?

I would suggest a "clothing without zips or metal buttons" clause in the post above. Some of what I will bring will not care about being gouged. Most will be deeply upset.

I guess the gimp suit is off the cards then.

If anyone around Tamworth wants a lift there drop me a PM.

I saw the BD post and really considered ordering one, but I don't like Duran Duran, 4 strings, or pink.

Dingwall are great at advertising.

Here's a close up from my D-Roc, you have to adjust both bridge screws to avoid them slipping between the gap when adjusting the height.

I never thought I'd let it go either, my Mrs & the kids are giving me earache over this one. My eldest has offered full asking price just to keep it in the family, he doesn't play! 🤣

Honest opinion - listen to them. Put it in a case and under the bed or in loft etc and forget you have it for a bit. Then one day you'll remember, get it out and be very glad you didn't sell it.

It also alleviates the earache from said family, which is worth way more than £1100.

New bass day coming soon 🤘🏻

Just went to check on it and it had gone - glad it was you ! Let us know how it is.

Seen that and it's been heavily reduced. On close inspection it looks like a Gibson era model, the price looks about right I think. If you buy online you can always return it if it isn't for you.

Oh wow MXTabs!  😂 “Zenderquai” is here! 😎

MachinesofHate checking in too.

The idea and motive behind this is absolutely great.

However I am an absolute bass slut and the thought of one bass to play (however good it is) fills me with terror.

I am down to 8 basses after selling one today, one is pending sold, another is still for sale. This will drag me down to a measly 6, which is a poor show but just about enough variety for my whims.
