    We had a good one tonight, focused on new additions to the set for our big gig at the Earl Haig on Sunday. Edit: it's very odd being under blue lights for three hours!

    Must be something in the air, the vocalist in one of my bands suggested doing it. I like the version by Sabrina Teenage Witch ☺️

    Public service announcement / humble pie consumption 🍰 I need to issue a correction before the synth police revoke my license. Earlier I confidently declared that “Warm Pad Fade” was my favourite Yamaha DX7 patch. Several of you (correctly, and with admirable restraint) pointed out that this patch does not exist on the DX7. You are 100% right. My brain has since rebooted, and the truth has emerged: I was thinking of the Roland D-10. That lush, nostalgic Warm Pad Fade lives firmly in Roland-land, not Yamaha-land. I have unfairly slandered the DX7 by giving it credit for something it never did, which is ironic because the DX7 usually gets blamed for things it did do.

    You could of course consolidate all your smaller cases into this one easier to manage case.

    More of an audition than a rehearsal but whilst at Whitby Goth festival last November, I had a call from the singer of Siouxsie and the Banshees tribute “Painted Bird” saying that the bassist had left and the remaining three had all said I would be a great replacement. I was flattered. I said yes and tonight was my first rehearsal / audition. I took my Fender USA Jazz, for that Steve Severin vibe and my Blackstar U700 head. The built in chorus and overdrive immediately gets my sound in the right area. I have been so busy with real life that I went in feeling under rehearsed and I didn’t want to waste anybody’s time. We started with Metal Postcard and then launched into Happy House. I could tell they were happy. As the set wore on, it was obvious that I had put the work in. Nine songs in and I missed the timing on a section of Switch, but it was in the bank by then! I am officially the new member of the band… and I must be doing alright as I was presented with a band t-shirt too! My first show is Water Rats in March with Echoes of the Bunnymen.

    I lost my wedding ring many years ago. I dont really wear jewellery but I wore it for the wife. It did get on my nerves when I was playing. Fortunately the missus wasnt that upset when I lost it and said I dont really need to replace it. So now I dont wear anything on my fingers.

    As someone who still has many old US and UK bass and guitar mags going back many years (Beat Instrumental, International Musician, anyone?), I'm very much looking forward to the latest copy of The Bassist dropping on the mat. Then the only sound will be me settling down with a nice cuppa (and the odd Hobnob) and getting stuck in! 👍😎👍

    I have recently joined a band and they suggested that I should use IEMs on stage as they all do. I wouldnt know one if it bit me on the ar$e. How exactly do these things work? 😯

  25. AndWhy started following Help! Mystery wiring replacing pups, and now a false octave / synth vibe?
  26. AndWhy
    Hi Team Bass Chat, inspired to change my pick ups recently, I finally gave it a go… Surprise number 1: Prepping for a swap as per the wiring diagram, I was surprised to note my bass (Fender P Special with PJ pups, with a life before it was mine!) had some odd wiring… All hots fed into a push/pull tone pot (which I didn’t know was push pull) and then from there fed to the 2 x volumes. No idea what the push pull does!? So, I decided to trace the wires and just replace like for like as I found them, but with new pups for old. Simples. It is a bit of a car-crash, but don’t think I made it worse… Or so I thought… Surprise 2: On the higher strings (and noticeable on all) I get a gnarly octave /synth / chorus sound. Assumed it might have been string height, and overly sensitive magnets - so reduced the pickup height to make the gap as big as possible (+10mm), and nothing. Still there. So, next steps suggestions?? Anyone had anything similar? One option I’m toying with is just to get some new pots and start fresh with the wiring. Feels like a nuclear option, but would rule out any wiring issues…. Other option involves a trip to the tech! (Rotosound swing bass 66 strings, and Seymore Duncan Duff McKageb PJ pickups - so a quarter pounder split coil, and a jazz hot stack) pictures are “before” I didn’t think to get an “after” 😂 any comments appreciated! (PS Might be some Aguilar PJ pick ups finding themselves on the for sale forum once I’ve got this sorted 👍)

    selling my incredible 1975 Musicman HD130 amp. Bought this back in 2021 and had a flight case made it for it straight away. Was serviced just before I bought it as well. Sounds amazing.

    No problem playing bass with my wedding ring on, but I do take it off when playing Cajon and am terrified I'm going to lose it one of these days!

    For the sake of clarity, a mate said he wanted this and promptly bought something different!! My mention of a PM can be disregarded.
