New number plates on the bassmobile

I’m afraid it’s not @Rich. To be fair, there are thousands of plates that fall much further outside of the rules, so I probably wouldn’t worry too much about it. At least ANPR will be able to read your registration number (should it be stolen etc).
-
Yes, there's no way I was going to do anything daft with the actual reg number, it's asking for trouble. As I said, it's identical to the old plate apart from the clef instead of the stars and UK instead of GB. I've still got the old plates just in case I need to put them back on in a hurry. I can't see that happening though (he said hopefully).

I shudder to think of the weight. I slipped a disc just looking at the photo.

Hell yes, the more the merrier.

Is 4 strings really enough? (Oooo i went there)
Rich replied to BigJHW's topic in General Discussion
This, entirely and absolutely. For me, by far and away the most useful aspect of a 5 stringer. The main reason I still use a 5 with one of my bands is that some of the songs are an absolute arrse to play up and down the neck on a 4 and are far easier across a 5. -
Also this. More of a vocal tool than anything, I used it for live harmony BVs with a band I was in many many years ago, since when it's been gathering dust. It's been around the block as you can see by the rack ears, but it's working fine. I never tried it with instruments, I imagine it should work for them too. It's too big to be a paperweight and the wrong shape for a doorstop. I've got a copy of the manual knocking around somewhere. No power supply, but it takes a bog ordinary 9v power supply and only draws 250mA.

This here.

We rehearse there too, come to think of it my FX were dreadfully noisy a couple of times a while back. I assumed it was my cheap crappy 9v power plug.

Which rehearsal room do you use?

Harlem Shuffle - Bob & Earl

I played 5s almost exclusively for a good 20 years or so, but in the last 3 or 4 years I've started using 4s again too with one of my bands. For no reason other than I've got a couple of nice 4s and wanted to use them, and the big fat string wasn't seeing any action in that band. At the end of the day it's your money & your choice. Do what's comfortable and what makes you happy. Keep your 5, get a 4 and see how you get on. If you decide to stick with one or the other, that's cool. -

+1 for this. I had a Focusrite Platinum Trakmaster and the sound was cleanliness personified. A superb bass preamp if purity is your thing.

I'm going to wear a ludicrous shirt in memory of Simon. No way I can compete with this one though!

When did you realise….. you weren’t going to “make it”?
