Farewell bass world

[12stringbassist]

I hope all works out for you.

The thing about dealing with people who make your enjoyment disappear....
I was on the verge of stopping playing a short while since (earlier this year) as our ex-guitarist was just a nightmare to work with and he was making me and my drummer totally miserable and I had been dreading going out to gigs. Once we parted with him, I got the bit between my teeth to replace him with someone far more suitable and  we were back out gigging 6 weeks later.
Your mojo can come back with the right people.

I don't want to target you or other individuals who have created threads like these but why do you need to 'announce' you are quitting bass? Is this some new phenomenon in the social media age with big announcements over everything that someone decides? 

We're a bass community, anyone is free to discuss any topic that they wish. If you don't want to read a thread because it doesn't interest you, then you don't need to.

 

Anyway, @Hellzero - I never liked you anyway and you've only ever sold me terrible basses at terrible prices, so good riddance! 😆

 

When you're ready, sell me the Lefay so I can crudely weld some ladder rungs to that steel fretboard and turn it into a proper bass!

 

First Brexit stopped us trading basses, and now youve given up bass! What will be reversed first... Brexit or you quitting bass? 🤔

As I intimated in my post. He'll be back - but I bet he doesn't admit it here!! 🙂

Not sure, even if my ads are saying the opposite... Time will tell. 😉

Casio GP-510BP (Bechstein grand piano keyboard with sampling of a Bechstein, Steinway and Bösendorfer) as "acoustic piano" as I can't stand out of tune instruments and Home Studio gear with Studiologic SL88 GT Mk2 MIDI controller coupled to Vienna Symphonic Library Synchron Grand Pianos Full Edition bundle (Bösendorfer Concert Grand 290 Imperial, Fazioli F308, Steinway D-274 Hamburg and Yamaha CFX) and VI Labs Modern D (Steinway D), Modern U (Yamaha U3) and Ravenscroft 275.

This reminds me of an 'incident' with our old Keyboards Player, Hugh McKenna from the Sensational Alex Harvey Band.  Hugh was not very technically literate (but a brilliant pianist).  The battery that supported the motherboard of his Korg gave out and we promised to replace it for him before a gig.  We had done our research and printed out various instructions on how to do the 'op'.  Said battery was buried about 3 mother boards down, so we had his keyboard spread over quite a lot of the stage before successfully replacing the battery.  Huw was quite nervous but we exuded an air of confidence.  When we put it back together and it went through its set up was the point that I discovered that Keyboards could be tuned to different pitches (I didn't know this at the time).  We opted for one only to discover that it didn't conform with all our instrument tuning.  We ended up tuning by ear as the audience were wondering what's going on by then.  At the very last minute I found the menu option for correct tuning (causing us to have a second panic), but at least Hugh was happy!
