I had the chance to do something quite different last night, and take part in a poetry jam/workshop. This involved writing a short poem (with guidance from an experienced writer), and then covering bass duties in a jam band while everyone took turns to deliver their poems in a spoken-word-over-music format. Great fun!

I bought a strap from Rob and he was great at answering my queries and immediately shipped the item. I was also the lucky recipient of an unwanted USB power supply in return for a donation to the North West Air Ambulance service. Thanks again Rob! Pleasure doing business with you.

At the risk of just recommending what I have, the EBS Classic Session 60 is a great little amp. Looks like there's one for sale here (no conflict of interest to declare!), and one at Bass Direct.

I've found this approach really helps for my basic attempts at singing. Once I have largely got both parts down in isolation I start identifying which note in the bassline is the cue to start singing a particular word or line.

Thanks for that @Grahambythesea! I wonder if that is where Tony Levin got his inspiration from.

Just bought a tuner from Harry. Great comms and speedy posting. Pleasure doing business. Cheers!

I just bought some patch cables from Simon. Great comms and super speedy transaction. Buy with confidence folks!

Here's the pic I should have included in my previous post! I'm planning to raise the board a few mm to fit the HPF underneath as soon as I find some suitable feet.

You've got me digging my TC Mojo back out. I had been going with a DIY JPTR Jive for some colour but just tried them together and I think it'll be staying this way for a bit.

Slapped this board together in a hurry as I wanted a battery-powered utility board for a small gig. Slightly miffed I needed to use 2x USB converters to eliminate noise, but it worked well and sounded good in the end! Apologies if the messiness offends anyone!

I can't get over his groove. So good! Theres so much to learn from this video. The economy of movement, the pocket... but it'll take a long time to retrain my body to feel half-time all the time!

Hmm... I suppose that makes me a clicktim* of this ploy. *Sorry. I'm manning the BBQ so Dad jokes/puns are falling out.

How does anyone acquire so many old bits and incomplete instruments? And does anyone buy these things? A strat neck plate for £1000, for example. I'm no expert, but that's a lot of money for a tiny piece of steel with 4 holes in it.

Sounds great @rwillett! I'm always keen to see how people have designed solutions using 3D printing. Your reverse angle stand sounds just like what I had in my head, a bit like an angled bench hook. Wish I still had access to a 3D printer for this sort of stuff.
