Burning Down the House - Talking Heads

Thanks Paul. That's what I was hoping. I've just put it away but will take a pick in the morning. Just had a look. Lots of wires as PJ with 3 band active EQ with passive volume and tone with an active/passive switch and 3 way pickup selector.

That's a strange one Lozz. I've been using the same Whirlwind instrument cable since the late 80's and the sound has always been fine. Maybe something was wrong with the cable?

Not tried the Future Impact yet? It does these sounds with ease. Eg: https://m.soundcloud.com/peter-kenney-750235819/qm-thriller-8

I was a big fan of my KZ ZX10s until I took a long break from them and I don't like them at all now. On a whim I bought these budget earbuds: QKZ ZXT. I'm pretty blown away for the price and as a single driver unit. The same foam tips that fit the KZ stuff for these. The highs aren't harsh, they still have replaceable cables, and they're under a tenner. They're not flat response, but they sound musical. I'd wager they'd be a good backup set of IEMs. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EvHNp8K

Simple-ish... Got a pic of the inside the control cavity? 2 Position Switch, Couple of Quid...

I've just managed to bugger my yamaha bb110d that has been my go to bass for over 30 years. I've somehow snapped off the active/passive switch and am now getting no sound. Does anyone know if this is an easy enought fix or can recommend someone good with electrics/preamps in the Bristol area. Thanks

I am the happy new owner of Kev's Trondheim overdrive pedal, and very lovely it is too! Top bloke to deal with, the pedal was just as described and arrived the next day.

It would be great to have a Bass Bash in Louth, especially with the local scene moving quite a bit. Personally, I think that a weekend around jazz / blues would really attract people.

The Neuser NFS is based on the same principle indeed, but whith a very slightly concave metallic sitar type saddle and a mechanical system allowing it to be put in place. I fitted a few on customers basses when they were released in the late 90's early 2000's (yes, I used to be a luthier at some time in my life). You have to be very picky when it comes to the set-up, locking all screws when the desired tone was obtained and lubricating the moving parts to allow the bridge to function properly each and every time.

Burning up time. Stranglers

Finally mine should arrive Thursday

You’re all approaching this from the wrong side - fill in the bit on the pedalboard “p”! You’re welcome 🤣

If the clearcoat is spirit based, is there a risk that the sharpie line will bleed? David

Thanks all!

Marketing plays a huge part in the cost of designer fans. Generally it’s more than the fan that’s responsible for the noise generated.

Check out Shake Some Acton promoters - based in West London obviously, but put gigs on all over London, mainly garage rock & psychobilly stuff. Some good bands on that scene, many of similar ages to yourself @Agent 00Soul, new personnel often needed, put your name about, you never know.

Didn't the effusive language and cliches raise any red flags? "Rod Stewart BRINGS THE WORLD TO TEARS... Not beneath shimmering stage lights, but under the heat of the sun on a construction site, he traded his microphone for a hard hat. Each brick he laid seemed to echo like a note of gratitude, a hymn of respect for those who had given everything. There were no spotlights, no encores — only a man transforming love, duty, and legacy into something tangible. Fans were moved to tears, calling it “the greatest masterpiece of Rod Stewart’s life” — not a song carried by music, but a melody carved in compassion, humility, and an unshakable tribute to true heroes." It's so obviously false.

Also some new RST Zebra limited ones

Hello SumOne. I think your bocals sound like Leroy Sibles, if hou don't know him you should check him out, was around nany years ago. Had Dennis Brown znd Gregory Isaacs on Bvs. I like you voice. Daniel. Greenwich area. What instrument do yoj play

@doubleneck: that was my idea so far, but i fear at least one of the necks is always in a 'wrong' position. i wanted to put 2 Hondo Alien together. These are cheap 80ties korean copys of a Kramer Duke. All wood. 30". Very light and small. Sound shabby, until you add an East electronic and proper PU's 👍 I really like these just by the physics! They suit my injuries well. Can't tell why. Used one of those with a midi'ish PU for years on stage. Silly me. The very moment i get a 2nd one i try to defret and put the 2 together, even if it's only to say 'well, i tried everything'...🤷‍♂️ let's hope best! This version would solve at least the different sound (fr/fl) issues 😉 now i check those chinese ones... 1. Hondo Alien 2. example of what it might be 3.vertical, done by german master luthier Magnus Krempel (RIP)

Thanks @Hellzero, yes the seller has already been kind enough to answer a bunch of questions from me!
