I wanted to go see Van Morrison here in LA at the Orpheum Theater. The cheapest ticket in the house was $175. Good seats were $350. That was from TicketMaster.

Ridiculous.

Ticketmaster is just plain evil. The stranglehold they have on the concert business is insane.

Awwww. If I ever meet her, I'll give her a hug . I'm sure she's a sweet lady.

Most of the time!

 

[MarkusBass]

They are amazing. Seen them a couple of times in Chicago. Don't miss them next time through (plus Chris can play the bass....)

Oh yes!

Ticketmaster is just plain evil. The stranglehold they have on the concert business is insane.

What's worse is the Stub Hub and other companies that buy up all the tickets and then scalp them back to people. They wonder why people share music online...(not that I do or have or ever will).

It seems as if they did. No posts in the Lakland thread for almost 12 hours.

 

[Mr Matt]

Are there any Dark Star users out there that have Rogers (Jeannie) thumb rest on their bass?
I'm thinkin about these, cuz there's really nowhere to rest with DS smooth/low profile.
And then I'm concerned about the aesthetics of these on a Decade.
If you have 'em installed on your Lakland can you post a couple pics?

This is what I'm wondering if Rogers thumb rests are low profile enough or would they stick out like a sore... thumb... on.

 

[MarkusBass]

Well...if you need thumbrests, then do you have any choice?

Plenty, but I'm not about to put a big ole 2x4 lookin thing on this.
Was hoping someone had bought these and could comment & possibly put up a pic or 2 to provide an example of how they look on a bass.

Hmm, intersting, hadn't seen these before. Thnx

I had dark star thumb rests. they go under the pickups and don't stick out too much at all. I enjoyed them on my decade when I had it.. no pics though

Looks like they are right out of Battle Star Galactica!

Did they come in a pair? For $30 I figured they would, I asked Roger, but I didn't get a straight answer.

They look chrome-ish, but they're made from ABS, so I was wondering how that all looks in person.
