Andy Rouke played some of the best uk funk bass lines whilst in the Smiths. None of the usual Manchester bass lines. They were creative and moved brilliantly. If you changed his tone a bit, they would have cut through more, but still great. The engine room in that band got a major raw deal

quality with a capital Q. Bought thumb bass. easy transaction

[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.

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
