I presume they are all going to be active but if the battery pack fails will it keep burning for hours...?

I suspect for some of us it's just a point in our lives...
My head is still not really in the right place but I'm still working through things so...
Also struggling with my writing..
Quality over quantity...
Yes. I love doing covers as originals just don't work live where I live, but I wanted to de-construct and re-construct material, and twist it, like Warren Zevon's subtle twist to Raspberry Beret, and the way we re-worked NY's Old Man into a rock song...
But I just quit a band I'd been playing with for 4 years as some started to push me towards playing fretted and I just prefer to play fretless... shame that they were using my rehearsal space... lol
It's a "red-flag" to tell me what bass I should be playing, let alone fretted or fretless...
I recently upgraded my keyboards and have been dabbling with those... Korg DX5 and a baby Triton, and a Novation Mininova... I need to re-tune my piano, but the old German beast is 150 years old and solid as a rock... lol
Still buying bass's... recently got a "paddle" to convert to fretless and intend to convert my Epi VP T'Bird to fretless too...
Still working on my studio space, when the readies run to it...
Also bought a baby MAG250 1x12 combo for small gigs... still love my MAG300 4x10 but crazy loud...
Still not sorted my Hiwatt...

Uwe does not collect for fins...
He is thankful no bass was harmed in this process...
Mind you, he did acquire that BFG LP...
As for fins, having been guilty of some appalling attrotricities, maybe I should refrain from comment, tbh...
But... having a personal interest in mosaic and having worked on some and planned others (a replication of the "Dolphin Fresco" is still on the cards), two did stand out but I can offer no comment other than the reason people climb mountains... paraphrasing... "because I can..." and he got paid for doing it too...
No doubt, they will sell... not to me, even if I had the spare greens and then some...
Mind you, a 1916 F type mandolin is presently for sale for £3000 local to me at present... looks beautiful too...

Of course...!
Anyway... Quantum theoriesprove theorize everything has already happened and/or nothing is real...
And let's not forget that Descarte's ultimate conundrum is somewhat difficult to prove, so, there is nospoon Hellcat... 
(Nice find, Uwe... never seen a photo of my nemesis' together before... now, which one is which...?)

One of my favourite quotes about him I've heard is on his departure (sacking) from the Pogues...
"I'm surprised it took you so long..." or something similar...
And the BBC telling them that if they did not change their name from Pogue Ma Hon they would never receive any airplay... the literal translation is not that bad... kiss my hole...
