    Sorry, I didn't mean it that way at all, was just trying to continue the conversation, hence quoting Cato's post. For any bad experience we have in a music shop the guys in the shop can probably trump us every time.
  2. Mykesbass
    And just think of what the shops have to put up with. My mate could fill a very entertaining book with some of the punters he gets.

    Not the luthier's madness in this case though...
  4. Mykesbass
    I'm sure we can find some bass related luthier tomfoolery. Disappearing frets, whammy bars on bass, Wishbass (although they have their fans on here), and of course there are a couple of favourites in the Ebay section - the Tennessee, and he who shan't be named.

    Thanks Kev.

    Thanks Len.

    Thanks Lozz - email already sent to the King Billy.

    Thanks!

    Thrilled to say that my band will be playing the Introducing Stage at the Great British Rock & Blues Festival, Skegness in January. Would love to find a gig on the way up from Sussex, so Peterborough, Cambridge, Corby, Northampton all seem like sensible choices. Anyone have any suggestions/contacts they would care to share - looking for Friday 18th Jan, original Blues Rock, but can throw some covers in. Thanks!

    This. Don't understand economics, especially the constant need for growth. Small company building highly desirable items at a high, but reasonable cost. What's wrong with that?

    Went to a gig a couple of weeks ago at Under the Bridge (under Chelsea Football Club). Fabulous venue, no expense spared on sound and lighting. There were a group of people at the back, talking loudly all night. I went up to the promoter who asked security to have a word with them. Security asked me to point them out. When I did he said sorry, not a lot I can do, they are the club management!

    Me. I own an EHX Soul Food, but usually forget to plug it in (or don't have enough sockets). Have dabbled with effects, but haven't had much joy getting the right sounds out of them.

    Not his Jazziest tune (whatever that might be) but I'm "digging" Kamasi Washington and looking forward to the new album in June. Here's the very short Youtube pre-release taster:

    Aren't they just reflecting the language of their target audience?
  16. Mykesbass
    Did they do the guitar solo in Goodbye to Love?

    Putting on our own run of gigs at the Latest Music Bar in Brighton. First one is a double header of my band, Lee Ainley's Blues Storm and the Brent Hutchinson Band. Details here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/live-the-latest-music-bar-tickets-44672345187?aff=efbeventtix

    Thanks. We're going with Eventbrite this time, but will compare with See Tickets for the next one (there's optimism for you)!
  19. Mykesbass
    No, we pay them for the sound engineer then everything else is down to us. Quite liberating in a way!
  20. Mykesbass
    Thanks, will have a look.

    I meant a ticketed gig at a venue rather than a pub gig. Yes, we've always promoted our free pub gigs, but have changed out material and mindset.

    There's a Fiat 500 red/pink that I keep seeing, giving me gas for a Jazz Bass. Great colours, shame the cars look so nice but are do badly built!!
  23. Mykesbass
    An amp and cabs that sound just right to my ears with minimal tweaking, and easy to use controls. A bass that is just like a comfortable old jumper. I still get ridiculous gas for odd fripperies, but the above is really all I need.
  24. Mykesbass
    Shame the 5 string Precision doesn't have a Precision pickup, and I'd have to remove the frets. So sort of a no, but with some compromise, yes.

    Refinishing

    Mykesbass replied to Japhet's topic in Bass Guitars

    I'd repost this in the build section - will get plenty of advice and interest over there.
