  1. Past hour
  2. Superb amps - got one here last year and got the ears to put it in a rack with a tuner and a sansamp... and there isn't much it can't handle. Headroom for days, and the taste control is a treasure!
  3. Sorry Sean I`m crap at describing stuff like that, just seems like a normal P bass to me. Price drop to £1000.
  4. Yeah he's definitely got a talent for making it all seem less intimidating. And absolutely right about the speed - I think Paul would have half a guitar built before I'd be done with a setup 😆
  5. Just repetition until you get it imo Steve, I’ve been going through this myself with the latest song we’ve decided to do and just going over & over it is getting me there, I can’t see any quicker way to be honest.
  6. Hi, is the amp still for sale? Thanks
  7. Im having some trouble remembering more complex song structures. Our band has lots of double length bridges, half verses and missing choruses and other weird stuff that works great but is a bugger to remember. I love that the listener doesn't know whats coming next, I just wish I knew! Any tips or is it just repetition until I get it?
  8. Kapow! Cow! Now! Er... A clomping, stomping romp of a tune that takes its title from one of the many great lines in Douglas Adams' superb Hitchhikers books and is in no way a comment on Mrs UD's driving, oh no. Cigar box guitar, Epiphone guitar, violin bass, MT Drums and virtual keys. My good friends at Wavepad, Audacity and Ableton helped it all along.
  9. Forgive me if I’ve completely misunderstood this, but… a watch?!
  10. Ah, you're a gent, thank you! That is definitely useful information - both my Precisions are 281mm to the middle of the pole pieces on the neck side of the pickup.
  11. But then again there's something about the way the light hits the lighter bits and they go silvery or purply (assuming it behaves the same as the old 4 string despite the differnet wood) that is very appealing and you wouldn't get from flamed ebony. Love the commitment to the black stained neck as well.
  12. Awesome basses. If you have not tried one , this is a bargain price. Good luck with the sale Les,
  13. I'm certainly not a 'tight wad', but I've spent too long being skint when I was younger not to want to get value for my money. I've always kept my living expenses pretty low, so I live in a small house in an OK-ish area and drive an older car then I could afford. However, I wear reasonably expensive clothes, we eat well, we travel a bit and I have more top quality musical instruments / gear than I strictly need (although they have always paid for themselves through gig earnings, etc). I've always been pretty fit, although I can't exercise to the extent that I used to, due to a bad knee injury. However, I still do a bit and that is always a good idea. I have had a couple of fleeting issues with depression - in my late 30s after a period of chaotic romantic relationships and then in my early 50s due to relatively minor health issues. What brought things into focus for me was my wife having a serious medical incident that required an operation to save her life. You have to focus on what is important and not sweat the small stuff.
  14. I can't stand Scott. His American clone, Ian is pretty good though.
  15. Have a look at Hellfire Tools. I have a few of their bits; files, straight edge, hammers etc. Crimson stuff is also good but slightly more expensive. Chris Alsop also does so nice hand crafted stuff.
  16. I have a pair of these... for me they are absolutely the best within their price bracket though I understand headphone choice is quite a subjective matter! I suppose @Hellzero is OK to deal with too... 😜
  17. ETS Tuning Fork Bass 5 Big (brass material) Rounded chrome, 18 mm strings spacing. Beware that the saddles were modified by a previous owner to go lower (but are working perfectly as is for standard B to G tuning, or you can interchange them to go lower on the treble side, or turn them upside down to start from fresh). The shining chrome bridge plate is new and has never been fitted, only the satin chrome saddles were modified. It can be used for stringing through the body. Check my ads. NO TRADES! NON NEGOTIABLE PRICE! Asking price including fully insured shipping with tracking number, to your home, in these European countries (ask for other countries): Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France (excluding French overseas territories), Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom: €80 EUR (£90 GBP is an approximation and I will only accept payment in Euros) and, as it will be asked, the new price is around €200 and they are very hard to source. Shipping to the UK is of course possible and included in my asking price, but with additional customs charges (VAT + other taxes + courier costs), as the UK is now outside the EU, just send me a PM. In perfect working order and brand new condition for the plate, only the saddles have been used on a different bridge. As I've stopped playing bass and focusing on piano only, I'm selling surplus to requirement. Don't hesitate to ask for more details, but, please, before asking read my ad first as the answer is certainly already in it!

  19. Depends on how angry you are.
  20. Today
  21. Heading home after 2 weeks sun :(

    No rehearsal run through, so I hope that I remember songs for next weeks gig!!

  22. Hey. Vocal is very up front and sounds quite dry. I’d definitely drop out back a bit and look at your compression settings. Drums again dry and a bit flat but it’s hard to tell briar they are a bit buried. Have you got a drum bus with some parallel processing going on? Just to help liven them up a bit. Maybe smash the OHs a bit! It’s hard to say without knowing what you’re going for.
  23. Do you have a photo of the back of the neck's heel as there should be some stamps? Did you measure its thickness as it could have been modified? If I see it correctly, the bridge is not a 1972 model, but a strange one, with some plain brass saddles (look at the A string), certainly not original, especially in 1972. A 1977 neck should have 3 bolts, except if it is a Precision Bass neck, but then the red stamp numbers would be wrong just like the block inlays as well as the binding. 🤔 Personally, I would never have bought such a questionable assembly at this price tag...
