  1. Past hour
  2. Absolutely beautiful. Martin sorted an LED problem for me both quickly and cheaply - I suspect it’s an easy fix. What’s the circuit in this and do you know the age of the bass? To digress, I spent a couple of nights in Chertsey in early autumn last year. A lovely place - I was very taken with it
  3. Dave Let me dig them out and I'll send them down. DM me your address please
  4. Profile is quite shallow nut width just over 41mm
  5. Apologies for any confusion. If you read the forum recommendations they suggest some sort of identification the item is being advertised here to avoid the photos being used elsewhere for a bogus sale. Click the Proof of ownership in the red banner at the top of the thread.
  6. Doesn’t that hurt?
  7. Reminds me of when we used to do a layer of sacrificial icing on the kids birthday cakes to fend off the spit that came with blowing out candles! I like them for outdoor use, and also if (as you say) people of unknown origin are going to use them!
  8. I just buy a tobacco tin from the poundshop and stick some velcro underneath
  9. Sooooo, spent a fun hour or so the other night taking my 2022 Rickenbacker 4003 apart and checking all the connections, pots etc to figure out why the volume for one of the pickups wasn't working. Put it back together only to find I couldn't get the tone working either. Turned out I was turning the wrong knobs. I've been playing my Gibson EB-2D a fair bit recently, and the volume for the neck pickup is where the tone for the neck pickup is on the Rick. I have now invested in a set of labelled knobs from Rickysounds. This is another reason why I like Precisions.

  10. While I know the arguments, there is something deeply painful about replacing large satisfying boxes with such a small one...
  11. Ant music - Adam Ant
  12. Oh yes sorry I forgot there are different types now! It's a 4 string set, nickel.
  13. Bought (and sold) quite a few basses and amps with Craig over the past few years. An absolute top fella, always a pleasure to speak to and deal with. Have a bump from me bud 😉👍🏻 Buy Here With Confidence. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  14. Great question OP! I'll go for these - one plus couple of runner ups. However they are all great albums in general. Winner: The Fall - Perverted by Language (Steve Hanley)... such a great bass sound, driving the whole band. Runners up: Violent Femmes self-titled debut (Brian Ritchie) - on paper he is overplaying and it should have ruined the album... but no it made it even greater! Stranglers - Any of the first 4 but I'll go Black and White.
  15. That's a very nice example of a rare bass, and I would say a very good price. Fwiw there are MIJ Washburn & Daion/Yamaki - specific FB groups where there might be significant interest in something like this. GLWTS!
  16. Insect Day - Godzilla Black
  17. Relisting this as, try as I might, I am not A Jazz Bass Guy. Original thread below, the only thing that’s changed since May is the bass is now wearing a nicely worn in set of La Bella IMA Super Polished strings. I’m in the market for a JMJ Mustang so would be interested in a trade involving one of those (plus cash adjustment on my end). Collection from Haywards Heath preferred, or I’d be happy to meet within 30 miles or so.

  18. It actually isn't if it's built exactly after the original one. Both controls all the way down make it sort of slightly mid-boosted. There's a thread on TB with measurements done by someone who seems to know what they're saying. I've got those measurements as pics but am not quite sure what would it look like regarding copyright and such stuff.
  19. Sei basses are particularly special things. In my humble opinion they easily beat the likes of Fodera for build quality, probably Smith too. Of the ones I've owned over the years I regret not maintaining one in the collection! Something to be remedied at some point...
  20. One rehearsal studio I go to puts disposable (what look like) little raffia bags over the mics.
  21. Good call!
  22. If someone is interested then they will deal with Greg the owner.
  23. So that's three of us with the same experience in this thread now, which is a bit annoying! But unlike you, I was not prepared to live with it, and they are making me another cab, and the website has been changed to allow people to order the right cab for their needs in the first instance, and prevent this happening again. I like Barefaced, and Alex, I like what they do, I really like their cabs, they sound just right for me, but I suppose they can't do everything right all the time, that's just what people are like.
