Ah, thanks. Now I have the full name I know who was being spoken about, but only by name, I've never seen his videos so I wouldn’t know he wears a glove. Mark

I have not, but then again I don't know the Scott you are referencing either. Care to enlighten me? Mark

I didn't even know what Focal Dystonia was until I saw this earlier, let alone know that Victor Wooten suffered from it, and seemingly has done for many years. I've been doing quick searches about it and I'm seeing articles and videos from years ago where he's talking about it. I honestly had no idea, and for him to still be able to play like he does, I think that takes immense dedication and self-discipline. Mark

Dude, this was heartbreaking to read. I read the thread for the other (black) bass, and was looking forward to this one, but that sentence sent my heart sinking for you. A wonderful build, that I hope turns up for you soon. Mark

Bloody hell. Twenty grand for a bass. Can you imagine the amount of lego I'd need to buy The Wife if I was to get that? Sheesh. Thankfully I don't like it, so I'm safe. Mark

Number of Strings : 5 Number of Frets : 24 Scale Length : 35" Number of Pickups : 3 Number of Controls (switches/knobs) : 8 (two stacked, 1 switch) Mark

Year Started Playing : '88 (I think) Number of basses : 10 (damn you, BassChat!) Music Theory : -10 Technique : About 3 Groove : Records? Bloody hell my stats are rubbish. Mark

This one even has built-in phantom power. Thanks for sharing this. Mark

I'm loving this thread. A great introduction to some new music, and supporting fellow BassChat members too. If you're on Bandcamp and I've liked what I've heard, I'm following you. My bank balance may regret this on the next Bandcamp Friday. Mark

Oasis Demand Photo Agencies Lose Their Image Rights After One Year. That's quite the rights grab. Mark

Seeing this video for the first time tonight and bloody hell! 🤯 He doesn't even break a sweat! Mark

Like some LEGO Mark

Yep, a bass purchase for me (by me) has to be something I really want these days, because I need to factor in the cost of the LEGO set too. Mark

Last time I visited this thread it was only 2 pages long 😂 Not wanting to read 18 pages of posts I'll just go ahead and relate to you my 2025 Glastonbury experience … I started watching Neil Young on the BBC broadcast, the sound was so terrible I made it through maybe 3 or 4 songs before turning over to watch the Jeff Beck performance at Ronnie Scott's. I'd never actually seen this performance and loved every moment of it - apart from the many, many advert breaks - but what a great set. Mark

One day at a time, mate. This. And I know the struggle, being 33 years sober. Some days will be easier than others, but just focus on the reason why you stopped and not the very many reasons why you should stop stopping and hopefully you'll get through. Mark

Nope, me and The Wife have come to an agreement, I buy a bass for me, I buy a LEGO set for her. Mark

Two from Queen spring to my mind … The Invisible Man and Dragon Attack Two from Def Leppard … Man Enough and Rock On The first is an original, the second is not. It's a cover of a David Essex song. Mark

We all do. As Crowded House once sang, "it's only natural". Wellcome to BassChat. Mark
