    That could be 19mm spacing ? lucky bastard who ever gets this fine Bass ( properly the best J-bass on basschat at this moment )

    Me too - brilliant things. I’ve had my Dunlop ones for eons now and have never let me down once. ( Also used to use Grolsch bottle top washers which were also reliable, albeit a bit awkward to get on and off.)

    It's taken me 30 years to find the right band, and in doing so I've realised how much I need a band, and how much shite was going on in my bands previously. I've joined around 30 bands, left 28 of them for the same reasons as you, and the other because had I stayed I'd have ended up a junkie. My current thing started as a way to catch up with mates, have a beer or two, and play some tunes, but it's working beautifully. Bands are like relationships, you just never know which one's going to work 👍

    Mrs T said “it’s draining you” and I completely agree. I’ve somehow become the bands guidance counsellor and I haven’t got it in me anymore. a real shame, some good music has happened but the inch pinching rows have done me in. I really don’t care enough.

    I get where you’re coming from Andy - and I’m sure we all do - many years ago I left a couple of bands due to this, where it wasn’t adding anything to my life anymore but taking stuff away from it.
  10. AndyTravis
    Yeah, I’m in my 3rd or 4th mode of this. I haven’t got the time for the shite I used to tolerate just to be “in a band” anymore. It’s a choice to be in a band, to wade through weeks of nonsense just to make hours of music makes no sense to me. I don’t really need a band as such. Wish I’d learned how to sing 😆

    I was going to @Happy Jack, but as you can tell from the description these are very specialist speaker cables. 200m of cable, 4 square feet in section with gilded banana headsweet HDMI and USB connectors and weighing only 50g would be quite something!

    I put up with it for a long time in the 80's. Then one day, on the counter of a music shop in Leeds city centre, there was a sweet jar with hand written label "strap locks". It was full of these curious looking things. Have been using the same pair ever since. I recently took them apart and cleaned them for the first time as they were getting stiff. They must be 40 years old. How wonderful.

    All pat of the cycle mate, you'll shed a skin, find something new, and acquire a new skin. I'm on my 5th or 6th now 👍

    Quick question : what makes the 1996 version more desireable?? I initially wanted a BTB 6 string lol..

    Howdy. Not quitting bass, but have just announced to the band that the next gig in September will be my last with them. There’s a lot more behind me knocking it on the head than just being fed up… I just don’t think, after 2 years that I want to be in a band with them anymore. We’ve been recording an album and It’s taken an age and the bickering and differences of opinion are taking their toll. I choose to do this, I’m not earning from it and it’s starting to feel like I should choose to not do it anymore…anyhow. The gear I own is solely down to “need” for the band. So I’m not overly attached to much of it. I’m going to set up sales threads for each part, probably 20 pedals and about 10 basses. I’m starting a project with a fellow basschatter and will just share music online - no plans to gig after September. Doing that “falling out of love with music” thing I seem to do every 4/5 years. Keep your eyes peeled x

    Happened to me when the strap button came out on my Thunderbird, it didn’t need that much of an excuse to dive to the floor anyway, but this totally floored it. Fortunately it happened on the last note of the last song in the encore so not too much of a problem.

    I had a Flamed Sycamore custom lined fretless 4 string back in early 80's but moved it on. Wish i had kept it. Cost me £740 new. Happy days. 😂 They do make some wonderful looking and sounding basses. Don't get much better than WAL. Dave

    Deluxe edition - Played once, as new. Do You Get The Blues dates from 2001 - this is its anniversary reissue on CD with sleeve notes from the bluesmeister himself. Cameos by Lou Ann Barton and Double Trouble. £9 posted UK

    That clip of Buggles doing Two Tribes is great, I knew Trevor Horn was a good bassist but imo he really shines on that version.
  24. dave_bass5
    Well, i went and brought one new, and glad i did. 15mins later its boxed up and going back. Maybe i don’t understand what the Ampeg sound is, but i couldn't really get a tone i liked as much as the Nux. But thats not the deal breaker. What is was the fact that with the Preamp and SGT bypassed, and IR on (any IR), and my Lekato 5.8Ghz wireless plugged in, i was getting a lot of digital interference/noise. A huge amount. Used with a cable or even my old Xvive 2,4 system it was fine. Tried different PUS’s and in different rooms. This was on all outputs, even headphones. I think in the real world its not a problem id never not have the Preamp engaged, but at this price thats too big a ‘niggle’, especially as im not over the moon with the tone either. Might try the EBS Microbass 3 next, but it seems the Nux may well be around for a while.

    Really good, driving line that grooves hard. All the FGTH stuff has great bass on it though, thanks to Trevor Horn. Here's a live version of The Buggles playing Two Tribes, with Horn playing bass: Best P-bass tone ever though? For me, that's Eric Avery on Deconstruction, the project he started with Dave Navarro in 1993 after Jane's Addiction broke up the first time around.

    Thanks. It is unique, ordered that way. Used it as my only bass as a pro some 20 years. Never let me down.

    Not for me for sure. Too much string noise. Kinda thuddy. Sticking to spiros ..or Eva's if there's bowing to do that week ( usually)

    I'm sure we'll get some nosebag in before then!

    For sale my beloved LM5 Northern Ash body, single piece neck, maple fretboard. The bass was built in NYC, and has the first bodyshape designed by Jimmy, a lot smaller than today's ACs. The headstock is smaller too, like all earlier basses Jimmy built. About 5 kg, on my bathroom scale. The color is Transparent White Great overall conditions The bass has some minor aesthetic defects: a scratch on the headstock, a little bump behind the base of the neck (in a position that you won't feel it with the thumb), and a mark on the edge of the lower part of the body. Otherwise it could look like new. The sound is as expected, explosive in slap and really present in fingering, with an unbelievable punch. The notes speak. Audio available on request, but please only via WhatsApp. The hardware, the trussrod and the electronic are perfectly working. The frets are in almost perfect conditions and the action is incredibly low. 4200 euro plus shipping from Italy Please check my feedback here on BC
