That's some serious mileage. I've even seen it pop up when discussing pickguard colours.

As is tradition, December challenge is a cover challenge, if you have recorded a cover version this year you can use that, or get busy recording one 😁 I shall set the thread up as soon as I can , hopefully this evening

So @Dankologyand I are in a band together. this is our new single. I wrote this after my old band exploded following a gig. The Drummer and Singer decided they wanted to carry on with me and I asked if @Dankology would be interested in sharing guitar and bass duties. The Video was done by us (it’s my Daughter in the video) All recording done by us. this is “Running Home” https://www.facebook.com/share/17SqnCzL55/?mibextid=wwXIfr https://www.instagram.com/lettersheleft? igsh=MXZwY2diNXNja3l4cg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Music is available to buy/stream on all platforms enjoy!

I built an explorer type guitar from pitbull in Australia during covid, electronics were a bit cheap but overall the quality was surprisingly good.

I have contacted Hypex and they confirmed that they no longer make the plate amp and are going to see if they have a service agent that I can take the plate/cab to for repair. Though it would be cool if Barefaced had one lurking in a corner cupboard in their workshop that they could sell or give me. 🙂Wishful thinking though.

I play at several open mic nights where most of the guitars are acoustics with pickups. They get run straight into the mixer. Same for the singer's acoustic with my second band, which he just uses on a few songs. It would be an idea to get a feedback blocker - a disc that fits into the soundhole and reduces feedback issues. https://sygnusguitars.com/best-acoustic-guitar-feedback-busters/

Tried searching for the phrase "good for metal". I initially put the words in without quotes and was prompted to search for the phrase "good for metal", which I clicked on, and the search string was then enclosed in quotes. However, as well as returning the properly matched phrase, I also got plenty of results which were just "good" and "metal" (with "for" presumably being somewhere in the text that doesn't get displayed in the search results). So the phrase search looks as if it just searches for good AND for AND metal, not the actual phrase.

The first appearance of the phrase on Basschat was 2009, but it was a serious enquiry. Incidentally, the search function is crap when looking for a phrase - it doesn't search for the phrase, which is a fairly fundamental requirement of searching for a phrase.

I can't think of any reason to avoid Ashdown amps. I haven't really come across one I didn't like that didn't have a usable tone with minimal fiddling of the tone controls. ABM's are a favourite in particular. I've owned and used ABM200's, 300's, 400's, 500's, and 600's. 900's and 1200's are just double 500's and 600's and not really on my radar. I currently use a rack ABM600 and it's superb. I do like the early mosfet powered units and just recently purchased a late 1990's ABM400 from @harrison from this here parish. I've fully restored it and these early mosfet units have a really unique tone while still having that same ABM grunt and presence all ABM's have imho. All I need is an early ABM200 to complete my collection of old school iron and I'll be a very happy bunny. Imho, there's no gig you couldn't play with a good ABM 😁

This. It was a thing when I joined TB in 2007.

Best wishes, and I hope it's been caught very early.

Notably "the dude with the Steinberger" and Glen Browne with the five-string (I don't know him, I just made a note of his name). The third episode was far and away the best. If the best snippets from the first two episodes (Glen Matlock on the Anarchy in the UK bassline in the first episode and a couple of other bits, the bit on slap and on singing when playing bass from the second episode) were shoehorned into the third episode, you could chuck away all the rest.

Hi Chris Thanks. I have looked a BF cabs before but frankly I don't get paid enough gigging to justify the cost of two cabs. I have looked into the construct of their cabs as I am ( or was) a joiner so could easily make them but I know how much time and effort they have gone to to perfect their design...wouldn't feel right making copies. I do have iems and maybe I will have to go back to using them... I toured for years with them but really prefer to have on stage sound... I just feel more 'alive' on stage without them. I might speak to the guys at Bare faced and see what they can do.

He appeared in the first episode talking about reggae bass.

EQ is independent, unlike the Fender tone stack. They do however influence the drive character as they come before it in the signal path.

Cheers Bill.....Ironically I did have the cab tilted on a massive wedge...I'd never done that before. I have thought about 2 x 10 stacked vertically just need some high headroom drivers. The sound guy did say that the drummers double bass drum set up sucked all the mids out... He was super helpful but he did all he could.

Not sure my mouse sander is up to the task on that one! but cheers for the replies. I’ve ordered a tele for the boy and a fake rick for myself. My better half will be overjoyed with another bass in the house.
