invasion day is a day of mourning and sorrow for me. It has deep resonance with my own family history with British colonialism.

We need to move forward to heal together. I acknowledge the past atrocities of British colonialism. This needs to be discussed, recognised. At least make a start talking about it. We need a treaty. Not dealing with these issues hurts us all.

This is actually real. It feels like a nightmare that from which will never end.

Makes a difference to the tone 🤔 Facinating! Much lighter way to get fantastic tone than my fretless bubinga warwick 6 👀

True. It’s my preferred bass along with my electric upright. I don’t think the reappraisal will happen any time soon though. Fretted is far easier to learn and is the bass most played and taught. It’s a cultural thing. The culture is comfort with western tuning and comfort with the fender sound.

We were considering buying a tesler. Now? Just no. I understand people are removing Tesla badges from their cars. The brand has become toxic.

Move them to a deserted island where together they can develop their friendship and understanding of the world. Safely away from the world.

Algorithms have helped to develop a culture where the poorly educated and disenfranchised can through social media feel powerful to talk sh*t about anything that they find threatening? Or helps them feel smart? Maybe?

the algorithms of individuals are working? What does it take for an individual to be banned? Definitely don’t like what Singal stands for, but banned?

Done. I’m learning about this algorithm thing.

Love it. I’ve not heard Aguilar PU used in this way. Warm and gentle. Totally agree about Sixers. I like to play across the strings for the extended range. I used to consider this lazy playing though. 😁😜

Yeah, with my six stringers I didn’t think about the colour. Only the tone. They are hugely different.

I’m interested in a persons sexual preference and identity only if considering a relationship. Otherwise none of my dam business. Same as the toilet thing. I’m not interested in what’s in other peoples toilet cubicles. If that’s what rocks your boat well…… You should mind your own dam business. 👀

Great name! I never do anything to my basses apart from string changes and minor setup adjustments. I’d love to have the capacity and health to swap stuff around. I don’t so …. money. I focus my limited energy on playing. Fun buying stuff thou 😁😜

Rustic is the new thing. Relic ing? Sandberg prices for this are ….. huge! Yeah my merlin bass is ‘my precious’ and is extreme customising of the privileged kind. Its sounds are hugely varied n killer of course. 😁

Yep. The people who
voted for him are the poor, the uneducated, the scared, the hungry, those without hope. The rich, powerful, educated, privileged take advantage again. The cost? It could be everything. Well the planet is the worst possibility.
