  1. Past hour
  2. Although you wouldn't want a little bit of graphite to snap off the tip of the pencil and find a home somewhere in the plug socket, perhaps making a little bridge between two shiny copper components...
  3. Is it just me or has the media really gone all out on the Glastonbury bad thing this year? I've seen so much, mostly just straight up lies about how unhappy attendees are, thousands leaving early disappointed, £10 a pint for beer, bands not turning up. It seems like much more of an attack than usual. Possibly politically motivated because it's unpopular with their tory/reform followers?
  4. 5 string Conklin here for £550… https://www.facebook.com/groups/321515614550229/permalink/23978327848442340/?sale_post_id=23978327848442340
  5. I really like small-bodied headless basses. I had an Ibanez Axstar for a while which sounded superb but in the end I couldn't get on with the narrow string spacing. Then I bought an ACG Border Reiver which has more by way of body, although it's still small compared to a normal bass, and that's just amazing, as you would expect. But I still quite fancy a true cricket bat, and the Hohners do look good... Part of the pleasure of the ACG is that it feels heavy for its size, but because it's small bodied, medium scale and headless, it's actually very light. So you get a bass that feels satisfying solid, but also light on the shoulder, at the same time.
  6. I have one of these pedals built by @BabyBlueSound and it's absolutely brilliant. Biggest bargain on Basschat .
  7. It's actually got one 😁 it used to be higher. I will edit this into the description, good point.
  8. Check Lord of the Strings website: https://lordofthestrings.com/en/bass?types=4&categories=6&subcategories=30&order=3 Is Markus Millar the German Marcus Miller ... ? 🤔😂😉
  9. Can I go any lower , YES I can !!!! 1450£ NOW
  10. Ah, I thought that it might be the Hohner as it doesn’t have the Spirit logo. I remember those well. I wanted the style rather than the exact one. I believe the Spirit basses are wood too and I must confess I always prefer passive, simply because a flat battery is one more thing to go wrong. It makes sense that the Hohner would be superior as you aren’t paying for the name.
  11. Ah excellent, that’ll be me tuning in then too.
  12. Today
  13. There is a B2A for sale locally to me for £350. I've had one before, I don't need another one but I'm very tempted just because they are a very good bass in a very small package.
  14. Got the mixer in yesterday afternoon. It wasn't supposed to arrive until Wednesday, but sure enough, Gear4Music somehow managed to get it to me less than 36 hours after I bought it online. Tried the Behringer X Air app on android, absolute crap. Tried MX Mix, marginally better. Tried Mixing Station, and now won't be going back to either of the other two apps. Just been able to plug some guitars, a mic and my bass in so far, trying to hash out the input gain levels for our band by using the same gear as will be used by them. So far, a lot easier to use than people seemed to suggest.
  15. All The Things She Shed - Simple Minds

  22. I've seen people that do that. You're up there performing and they want to have a conversation with you. It's like they're saying; " You're not doing anything important so this is ok". Daryl
  23. Nice one! The Thunderbird Classic IV Pro is a solid choice. Great tone and feel. If you're into building your own, The Guitar Fabrik offers DIY kits. It's a fun way to get exactly what you want (especially for the finishing) and learn a lot along the way. Here is the link to their Bass Firebird model: https://guitarkitfabric.co.uk/products/bass-guitar-kit-tb-ebony.html
  24. For that price, you could also grab a DIY kit from The Guitar Fabrik. They have great Precision and 5-Strings Jazz Bass kits that let you build your own bass from scratch. It’s a fun way to get exactly what you want and learn a lot along the way! - https://guitarkitfabric.co.uk/products/bass-guitar-kit-precision-style-ebony.html - https://guitarkitfabric.co.uk/products/bass-guitar-kit-jazzmaster-style-ebony.html
  25. That buzz of wanting to learn bass is awesome! Start with songs you love and just groove along. Don’t stress speed: feel the rhythm and have fun with it. Before long, you’ll be making your own grooves that get everyone moving!
  26. Thanks for the tip! That preamp looks like a great option for boosting the Stingray’s sound without spending a fortune. I’ll definitely keep an eye on those batches. Appreciate it!
