Yes, I do. Maybe big ones for the side of the van, but that's for later once I can figure a whole lot of other things out. You might not be able to do that, though.

I'm not equipped for large decals, but I can send you a file.

Excellent demo, and I’ve heard this guy before.
So far I’m lovin what I’m hearing.
And he’s right about the feel.
They are not half rounds by any means.
Thanks for this, Geo.
They will most likely go on either the Precision or Jazz.

When I tried Pressure Wounds, I found them a bit sticky.

When I tried Pressure Wounds, I found them a bit sticky.

They’re not on a bass yet.
But when I unraveled just a slight bit and felt them, no sticky at all.

Ambulance nothing. For me, I think I would either be placed in a straightjacket during or need a straightjacket after a 15 hr flight. I can't even stay in a comfortable room that long unless pretty sick.

Wussies. Try 30 hours door to door with a 16 hour flight followed by a 4 hour flight. Just enough time for a couple really nice naps. Those gummy bears really help

Well I’m a fortnight from a 24hour trip to London…. Stop over is 2 hours in Singapore airport. Economy.

Longest previous flights 3 - 3 1/2 hours.

Furthest north I’ve ever been is Rubyvale in country Qld, which is just past the Tropic of Capricorn.

I’ve never been overseas except to NZ… does that count ?

I’m looking forward to it and a bit anxious about it in equal measures.

Maybe I was playing all flats at the time...

Was my luck of the draw with DA.
I much prefer Dunlop and Cobalt flats right now.
Next on tap are the Pressure Wounds, very curious to hear those.

I only use rounds on everything, and I like them obnoxiously bright. Just ordered a set of Dunlop Super Brights, and the only strings I haven't been totally thrilled with were DR High Beams. They lost the zing faster than I'd like, but they're still good strings. I used to use DA NYXLs on everything, and I'm stretching it a bit to try others...and I'm finding a lot of stuff sounds good on good basses. Go figure.

Your shirt should be there before you depart, it's riding a plane to you

Thanks, I’m planning on taking it with me and grabbing some selfies in it.

 

[RedVee]

Not much in London. It’s my realignment zone after the flights.
A few days wandering around plus a day trip to Canterbury - Leeds Castle, Canterbury Cathedral, Dover, jump on a boat at Greenwich back up the Thames to near Westminster.

Then train to Paris for a few days then the train to Mum’s ancestral village in Brittany for a few days.

Train back to London, then next morning fly over to Dublin. 4 days there, I’ve booked a Guinness Storehouse experience thing, the one with the extra pint.
Then I have another 5 or 6 days to float around Ireland, then back home Dublin>London>Singapore>Sydney.

DR’s were crossed off my list back in the late 90’s.
So I hear ya them.

First morning in Dublin the plan is to drop my bag at the hotel (I’ll be before check in time), go to see Molly Molone and rub her tit for good luck. She is a statue btw and evidently it is the thing to do?
She is the character in the old song:

In Dublin's fair city
Where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
Alive, alive, oh
Alive, alive, oh
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh"
^ we learnt that in primary school.

Then to find - it’s not very far - the Phil Lynott statue. Then find Sheehan’s Hotel for lunch and a pint or two to celebrate the dear departed ancestors. They have a trad music band so I’ll check when that’s on and if I can make it.

I should be able to go back and check in by then.

I learned that song in Seattle Public school, first grade

Not particularly. But it seemed a good day trip. I’m told the Castle is a good one to see. Old Churches and Cathedrals are always interesting and beautiful buildings and everyone tells me Thomas Beckett was murdered there. I am interested in Greenwich, I read a book about the setting of longitude, but entry is not included so I’ll just catch the boat from there.

As a side note, both Canterbury & Greenwich are suburb names in Sydney.

I learned that song in Seattle Public school, first grade

Yes, a good song to sing along with. It feels like it has an association with Sydney but it doesn’t.
Although in the art of the early Colonial days here, women were drawn in a similar fashion either on the docks in Ireland/England or in Sydney. Some excavations in “The Rocks” (first area of Sydney Town) they found a lot of cockle shells. Not too surprising seeing that the place has water and unknown animals in the bush. Too early for much farming at that stage. The local Aboriginals would also have eaten cockles, oysters and other seafood of course.

Plus a big THC blunt on your way the airport. That takes the edge off of going to the airport.
