[quote name='Dom in Somerset' timestamp='1369850650' post='2093535'] I have recently separated (amicably) from my wife, no drama, no third parties, just after 25 years we've grown apart, no hidden underlying cause... or so I thought... I was just round at a friend's house and apparently they know six couples in and around our small town who have all recently split up, all of these couples contained a bass player. [/quote] Theres hope for me yet

I was reading an article about a rise in instrument theft at high profile gigs. Admittedly most is laptops etc, however they had a couple of players discussing how bass/guitars have been stolen at gigs. Got me thinking if any of the manufactures out there could design a stand with some type of locking system or alarm. I bought myself one of these.

Very easy to use. i do not play gigs with security and i could not afford to loose my bass. i haven't even got insurance. Any other advice to help prevent theft.

Only wish i could help. Very thoughtful. Best wishes

Great band, and this is one of those must bass lines for all bass players to learn. Great groove and expression http://youtu.be/xSoyaOVYk0E
