  1. Past hour
  2. What do you do for strings? Short scale ok or cutting down? Tbh this for a season of busy work, to have a grab and go bag, mini bass, bdi21, clip on tuner and di cable
  3. So an update for 2025 We visited studios and priced up recording an album… If we played everything live in a room and managed to complete 10 songs live in 2 days, we were looking at about £2000 just to record. So we bought a Mac and interface and did it ourselves… I’m getting better with video stuff and starting to push for a broader audience via social media. It’s taken a bit longer than I would’ve liked, but it’s sounding great - I’ve done some of the engineering but our guitarist Jim has done an amazing job of mixing, editing etc. so…Fiasco Jam phase 2… enjoy!
  4. I have tried an electric MTB and found the whole disconnect between pedal stroke and forward motion very disconcerting. It made it no fun going downhill either. Fully agree on the whole 'no technical skills' problem. Ditto many of the whole lycra kit XC race bike but descend with stiff legs and arms and their weight all wrong so they can't turn or take any form of impact properly. I think riding like that is irrational, personally.
  5. Have replaced the pick guard on my t-40 with one closer to the original black, so flogging the one it came with as it's not really my vibe. It's machined really nicely with polished, smooth bevels and a mirror finish. Suspect it's someone's DIY job due to the little details like the holes to indicate pot position, but evidently fits a t-40 with no issues as shown. Won't be able to accept returns if it's not a perfect match on yours so is sold as seen. Happy to provide additional photos, measurements etc. Due to this being quite a niche item will also be posting on other platforms but giving you lot first refusal.
  6. I played one when of these Bond Electraglide guitars in a shop in Paris when they were released and really liked it until I saw the price...
  7. If this amp was fanless, it would be perfect.
  8. I'm committed to Monaco cabs now. One is plenty, the second one is for when I'm running the big boxes of bottles without PA support. Rarely. Having run a Big Twin 2 for years, there's a big difference between BF and LFSys.
  9. This is very interesting chaps, I’m loving my new Sandberg SL TT but would like some more Precisiony low mids, you reckon flats will help in this?
  10. His songs and style are so good!
  11. It's a superb example of Carol Kaye's bass of choice from 2002. These don't come up too often. Condition is remarkable for the age. It's even got the plastic film on the cavity covers. It's Korean-built and we know they know how to do neck-through properly. The build quality is stunning as is the grain of the ash wings. The neck profile is what I'd call slim modern J. Controls are: Vol, Blend, Treble, Bass. It's been deep cleaned and set up beautifully (med/low) with D'Addario EXL170BT strings. that's a balanced tension set. As per all my rosewood board instruments, it's been treated with Montypresso. Frets are level and polished to 7000 grit. All electronics have been checked and all pots cleaned. New battery fitted today. Truss rod is perfect. It's 4.4kg. I've got proper packaging and am happy to ship insured at buyers expense, which will be about £30. If you're undecided and fancy trying it out, I can usually accommodate a try-out with some notice weekdays or weekends.

  12. It's finally gone. @£275.
  13. It's nice to feel someone understands that situation! His songs are like progressive blues, more than the blues most of us would be familiar with.
  14. That's why I took flats off my Jazz bass. They made it sound too much like my P bass. I don't need 2 basses with that sound. I put NYXL's on the jazz and now, after losing the twang, they have mellowed to a nice warm tone with the hi mids that the P bass doesn't have.
  15. Cracking amp, tone Beast. Glwts!

  17. Hi. Here you go (from the Gator site)... Length 12.50" Width 19.00" Height 9.00" Cheers!
  18. Thanks, Mokl. I was running two as a vertical stack – best live sound I've ever had!
  19. At the very cheap end is a Tanglewood Elfin bass, or Squier do a mini precision bass. I have a Tanglewood Elfin and it’s merely ok, rather than brilliant. It’s something like 26” which is really short for a bass. Cheap and fairly cheerful tho.
  20. D'Addario Chromes work well in a J bass. A little brighter than La Bellas and similar more traditional flats, so they preserve more of the essence of a J and don't make it sound too close to a P in my experience.
  21. I was depping last night, so was the drummer. We have both worked with this band before so it was OK, a few interesting endings though. He is a very good drummer so I enjoyed the night. The band leader was talking about this being his favourite rhythm section, and was threatening to offer us the gig. I know the bass player and would prefer to keep on good terms with him, and I'm not sure I want to be in a Top 40 cover band again. But it's a good reaction. You've got to keep your name and number at the top of their list.
  22. Today
  23. I have noticed that for me, in case of, could always have a look https://snap-dragon-guitars.com/products/snap-dragon-e-bass
