  1. Past hour
  2. Id definitely recommend in person lessons. On line lessons are fine but you'll get no feedback at all. You need someone to tell you if you're technique is a bit off. The online lessons also don't put enough emphasis on timing and because bass is a rhythm instrument, timing is extremely important. Bad timing can make a good band sound terrible.
  3. Lovely looking bass. Think I'm going to get that finish on my JV jazz body.
  4. **for sale again**
  5. That is lovely. I only wanted to store a neck and now I'm spiralling towards another bass 😭
  6. I would like to chime in that I have found Ashdown's support extraordinary. Sent an ABM-600 in for repair twice, both times probably my fault. For the second trip, they couldn't replicate the fault after a week, so they just replaced the unit! I have spoken with Dave before, and he's exceptional, but his unfiltered honesty and the way he immediately speaks his mind are things you have to be aware of when you chat with him. Plus I may not have caught him on a bad day.

  8. Hi, yes still available
  9. I didn’t realise that. I appreciate caveat emptor exists at auctions, but that’s a fundamental flaw you’d hope would be checked when a bass was brought in to sell. If you were to turn up with some tools and try to adjust the truss rod, you’d quickly be warned off, for example. Glad you got it sorted and will be happy. I did see the Shuker, and it looked lovely.
  10. Today
  11. Wouldn’t say I’m a total beginner, but not far off. I’ve got a Katana GO, which is incredible, so I can play along to music & videos, but I jump about. I need some direction & discipline. I want to learn at least basic theory so I can identify the key of a song & know what to play over it. If you were starting out today, how would you go about it? Is that BassBuzz Beginner to Baddass worth the £157? Are there better alternatives? Thanks!
  12. Power - high voltage circuit, lower voltage heaters and the 9v for the pedal output. Nobelium replaces it with a transfomerless solution for the high voltage and heaters
  13. Trip Throufg Your Wires - U2
  14. Crossed Wires - Killbot&GorGorAttack!!
  15. Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell
  16. Telephone Man - Meri Wilson
  17. I agree entirely, but when material things have emotional value, the value lies in the emotions rather than the thing, and emotions are deeply personal and subject to change. If other people don't share those memories and sentiments it could be very hard to get your £20,000 back out of this bass.
  18. It was our first time at the 1912 in Sileby and what a great sounding room, with a nice vibe too. They had a low stage in the corner with plenty of room to fit a band on, and more importantly plenty of power sockets in good working order (which makes a change!). The venue also put some effort into advertising the event. We had a room full, but probably 90% were our regular followers. I'd have hoped for a few more locals. With the room sounding so good it probably lifted our performance a little more than normal too. We started off with a bit of rock and prog, but for the last set got much more dancy and filled the floor. We had a great night and lots of compliments. Oh, I nearly forgot to mention. The guitarist brought along his old 70s strat which was his sole guitar when we were all poor in the 80s and only had one guitar each. We played together for about 10 years, him on his strat and me on my Aria SB-1000. Well tonight, after much anticipation, he said it left him cold. He struggled to get it to sing and ended up playing the Vintage (brand) thinline tele he'd brought as a spare. He thinks maybe he's just no longer a strat guy, although I did mention he hadn't got the old Marshall combo he used to lug around. At least he still loves the guitar I built for him - a super-lightweight LP Junior double cut copy with twin P90s 😁 And look, the lights change colour 😂
  19. You say that as if it's a bad thing...
  20. I bought a Shuker Uberhorn fretless last year which turned out to have a duff truss rod - in a way it was a blessing, as I took it to Jon who is almost finished rebuilding it with a new fingerboard and truss rod and a scale length revised from 35" to a tad over 34". Hoping to pick it up next week. OTOH, the Barcus 6-string fretless I got for a pretty good price (IIRC it was below the original starting price) is great. Incidentally, the ludicrous fan-fret Megatar didn't sell last time out and it's back again. If you want a straight 12-string tapper, fine, but all Megatar/Stick tunings that I've found have the six bass-side strings with the lowest string closest to the centre of the fretboard, completely obviating the point of a fan fret. You'd need chevron frets to make sense of it.
  21. And bought back, and now is getting rid of again.
  22. Hah! I almost said, bet you bought it in Scotland! I found a Custom LP special at a car boot in Edinburgh! They only seem to turn up in Holland, Germany & central Scotland!
  23. Yesterday
  24. Is that perhaps for powering the 9V pedal outputs?
