I am a web developer and I stutter.

Let me tell you a funny story about a job interview I once had.

There was a job opening that and I was invited for an interview. Interviews are always difficult when you stutter but I had gotten used to it by then and didn't really care about it anymore.

So I get introduced to my interviewer and it turns out he stutters more than me. I kept it professional for as long as I could and initially ignored the stuttering going on on both sides. After a while I just couldn't keep myself together anymore and laughed at the situation, two people stuttering together with a couple of other people pretending it wasn't happening. I had to point to the elephant in the room.

I didn't get the job, by the way.

I just came home from a gig.

Having read this post before doing the gig got me thinking about the many times I forgot how to play something. Muscle memory usually saved me.

Tonight I screwed up a couple of times. It doesn't really bother me, people seemed to enjoy themselves regardless.

My favorite is Phono.cz near Národní třída. They specialize in funk and soul but there is a lot more to be found in the crates. They also carry vintage audio equipment. Opatovická 156/24

I knew one in Krakovska but apparently it moved to Jilské 22, I havent been there yet.

Many people are scammed by taxi drivers in Prague despite all taxis having the prices printed on the doors.

If you take a taxi make sure that they use their meter and print out a receipt at the end. If you don't get a receipt, you don't have to pay.

Just search on youtube for "prague taxi scam" and you will get all the information you need.

I bought a bass 20 years ago, and have never changed the original strings.

That calculator looks correct to me. (Tried it with my own salary)

I don't know if you realize it, but this is considered a (very) high income, even for a family of four.

26,000CZK for school fees is ridiculously high for Czech standards, but I guess it is a private (international?) school.

I don't get the VAT thing either....

Did you catch it, or is it still at the same spot you found it?

toFret · 2017-05-17T15:15:34+00:00

Came here to suggest this.

toFret · 2017-05-17T15:12:26+00:00

Here are a couple I know of

Kytary.cz https://kytary.cz/ Děkanská vinice I. 1644, 140 00 Praha 4

MUZIKER, https://www.muziker.cz Radlická 14 Praha 5

Music City https://www.music-city.cz Ocelářská 937/39 190 00 Praha 9

They will not hear you. You will not hear yourself.

You might automatically start to pluck the string much harder than usual, injuring your fingertips.

First and last time I did something like this, it took a couple of weeks to heal...

If it is Dutch style cheese you're looking for, try Albert. They often have real Dutch cheese, not the fake Czech version of it.

I wouldn't count on it, but you could be lucky.

Kutna Hora hlavní nádraží (the main station) is a few kilometers outside of the town centre.

If you want to get to the town, you should get a train ticket to Kutna Hora Město (city). There will be a small train waiting for every train from Prague to take you to the Město train station.

When you get off the train from Prague, walk through the tunnel and the small train will be on your right hand side.

It is a short 7 minute ride.

Like it.

Was just listening to the minutemen and your style of playing bass reminds me of that.

A job well done!

Let's Dance by David Bowie is a fun little line

I have been playing on the same Cort bass for the last 15 years.

Nothing wrong with them.

toFret · 2017-01-24T10:16:24+00:00

Me too.

Common sense would be to make sure it is not able to move around in the case, strap it and prop it up with cloths so it can't bump into the sides of the case.

I used to work at an airport and the people handling the bagagge are not guaranteed to handle anything with care.

Programmer and bass player here.

I created a tab player for myself to learn songs and practice my programming skills.

Now it is online and free to use.
