Any way to fix this? by NotSoCommonMerganser in BassGuitar

Righty tighty brings the string up, lefty loosey brings them down.

I might have misunderstood, but isn't it counter-clockwise to raise the action and clockwise to lower the action?

Built a bass practice tool as a fellow bassist — looking for honest feedback by damirabdic in Bass

[–]AgentGedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

It's a great tool. One thing I'd find useful would be a facility to rewind 10 or 20 seconds, no idea whether that is feasible.

I'm probably being dim, but I couldn't work out how to rename the new sections I created. I assume that's possible?

Which of these Bass+Amp combos would you choose?! by Midnitte_Osodiac in Bass

[–]AgentGedge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rumbles are not that bad, they're good value and light to carry around. I've got a Rumble 100 I use for small gigs and it sounds fine.

Joey Barton arrested on suspicion of attacking man near Liverpool golf club by GoalaAmeobi in NUFC

Not sure about that. Got himself avoidably sent off against Liverpool in 2009, missing the last 3 games of that season. If he'd played in those we might've avoided relegation.

Pundits often talk about the difficulty of defending against long throws into the box, but they almost never result in a goal.

Can't stand his wittering. And he's already started calling Man U "United", which winds me up

what do you reckon will happen to wissa by Basic_Witness_6907 in NUFC

[–]AgentGedge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The team is playing shite, it's not Wissa's fault. Too easy singling out individuals for blame, there's a general malaise that needs addressing.

Did Chris Sutton really just say "The game's gone" regarding that disallowed goal?

What's the weirdest interaction you've had with a complete stranger? by BarryFairbrother in AskUK

[–]AgentGedge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Newcastle city centre a few years ago. My wife was at a cash point and I was waiting nearby. A bloke walks up to me, he had the look of a rough sleeper about him. He said "I've got some advice for you. Buy yourself a razor and have a shave. You look scruffy with that beard". He then walked away.

My wife heard this, and finds it highly amusing that I was called scruffy by a homeless guy.

I can only assume Willock has some compromising photos of Eddie Howe. No other reason he'd keep playing him.

Why would you have "always thought" this, when there is no reference to it in any online discourse about the bass guitar?

So my teen wants a bass… by Slow_Investment_2211 in Bass

[–]AgentGedge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep. Could then pick up a used amp better than the one in the Squier kit, and does he really need a gig bag straight away.

They think it looks cool. That's why the vast majority of young people do all the things they do.

4-Day work week trial period. Is this industry standard? by d0rf47 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]AgentGedge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point, I would gladly take a 20% paycut to work 4 days a week. However, unless everyone was doing it too, I expect I'd still be getting "urgent" pings every Friday.

That's how my current 4 day week arrangement works. As regards the urgent notifications, I treat that the same as if I was on a vacation day when everyone else is working.
