    My daughter wants to play! Happy days! Also twice as much gear to buy which I see as an additional plus point. She quickly dropped playing guitar after a couple of tries but has stuck at 4 strings and asks me to use a bass almost every night. She got the bug big time and is soooo excited by anything and everything bass. I'm loving it ❤️

      My 13 year old daughter asked me a couple of weeks ago if she can use one of my basses. So I've given her my old Dean Edge 4 for the time being. She wants to respray it Candy Apple Red, hopefully I can get away with just a standard metallic red....

    I was lucky to purchase a fretless neck from Status before they stopped production. I was wondering if its wise to use Roundwounds with it? Are the composite fingerboards more resistant to string wear? thanks!

      I've got round wounds on my bass with a Status fretless neck. Barely a mark on it.

    Failed to update firmware two times, third time lights out. I now have a very small door stop.

      Pedals shifting to firmware based solutions is worrying.

    Watching the mighty James Taylor Quartet, in Burnham-on-Sea of all places. Oh my word ❤

      Love JTQ.
      I think the best time I saw them was at the Cardiff music festival about 20 years ago. They played during a thunder storm. Thunder, lightning, torrential rain and Acid Jazz. It was awesome.

    I had my acoustic guitar tuned to DADGAD (tried DADF#AD but couldn't connect with it) for over 10 weeks - I had intended to keep it that way until I had written a new song using it - that's the only way I've done it in the past but this time I've given up and put it back into standard tuning - it's a relief TBH. I decided I need to buy another guitar and to keep one of them for working with non-standard tunings.

      One of my acoustics spent a long time in Dropped D. Then went to open G but with a lower D string too. 
      It's currently in BEBEAB. I like a nice low drone note. :D

      It's definitely still in the house and not on a bass. Not in either parts drawers...
      I've obviously put it "somewhere safe" 😖

    So does this forum have a dark Theme I can switch to? The white background hurts my eyes on 34" ultrawide.

     

    1. bartelby

      bartelby

      I'd like a built in dark theme too. My eyes don't like all the brightness...
      and I do dim the display, but most other sites I visit have dark themes so BC really does stand out.

      A lot of Sainsbury's own vegan products got rebranded Plant Pioneers earlier this year. Has that happened to the "bacon"?

      I'm hoping they start making the vegan sausages again. I miss them.

    Is there a manufacturer who has or still makes self biasing valve bass amps?  The nearest amp tech to me lives in Hong Kong...700km away.

    1. bartelby

      bartelby

      Not sure about that but the Ashdown CTM looks like it has an easy biasing system, using the VU meter.

      I was down at our other office with my manager. So we went out with colleagues. 8:15pm my manager said "one more for the road. back at the hotel by 9?". everyone agreed. We then got talking about favourite bands/albums/gig. Got back to the hotel just after midnight, after 3 more "one for the roads". My manager, she's a bad influence...
