2002 Squier Affinity Precision, my very first bass! I got this as a Christmas present along with a Fender Rumble amp, best Christmas ever. Stock aside from some copper shielding and the pickup is the one from my USA P as that now has a Di Marzio. Fender flats.

I'm still using my old Boss DD-6. Works great. I'm not sure delays have tracking issues at all though.

I used to really enjoy when songs were really influenced by the country of origin. That was interesting and entertaining. I still enjoy it greatly, but I miss that element.

It’s become more political recently, which is a shame.

Not sure why I chose this; think the breakdown in the middle represents the painting part, the higher paced ending, just the freedom of the newly painted cow… That’s about the most tenuous explanation of what it means… Guild Baritone 8 string Fender baritone Strat Gibson Les Paul Gibson Ripper Garageband. “The Life Of A Cow Painter”

Eurovision used to be harmless fun imho. Take it or leave it , it’s something that’s always there . Not for me anymore . Having said that I did like scooch flying the flag 😬

Good on them for choosing someone genuinely different. I think part of the apathy in the UK stems from the fact that a lot of other countries seem to take Eurovision quite seriously, whilst our committee seems content to phone it in! Every few years they decide to try something different lazily squidging together a forgettable Airfix pop group, so I guess we're at that point in the cycle where the UK is making a bit of an effort.

Eh, I just put it down as today, I do an end of month report each month, I'm not going back and editing January, I'm doing this for free!

I should probably add that I ordered my first set of pickups on Jan 5th !

With the way that the voting is carried out (nil points handed out to whoever we don’t like, irrespective of whether their song is any good) I can’t see this happening, but strange things can happen.

Pickups are gear, so yes, you're out. Thank you for your participation, feel free to stick around to judge others!

I’m interested in any folk using the Ampeg Venture V7 if it’s a loud amp or as reported online by some it felt under powered ? I know you have to crank the master volume a bit more on them I’m told but do they appear loud enough ? I have an Orange LBT 500w which is very loud so I’m hoping the V7 is as loud or louder ?

Thanks, I spilled my coffee from laughter. He has a wife, you know.

Almost certainly Yes. The default (detente) position is at 12 o'clock which is "mild" pitch correction ... only someone with acute hearing will spot that it's even happening. I tend to keep mine set at 1 o'clock which is - obvs - a bit more aggressive, but then I'm using it in front of a harmoniser pedal. If you can find your way to Harrow, you're welcome to come and try out my selection.

I think I might be out: Toltec pickups bought for both my AM Standard Jazz and Vintera Jazz Custom vintage TRC and PG bought for the Ric 4003 I've zero plans to buy any more basses for the foreseeable..
