Ha! I got one of those from my daughter! -
Motion towards, conjugate the verb….

Pretty much all our gigs are carbon copies of the ones before. The usual mix of uninterested pub goers, drunken tosspots and thankfully a few who appreciate half decent live music to make it seem all worthwhile but mainly nothing much to report here! So our NYE gig was a at a sports and social club in Warrington, new to us so no idea on what to expect. A sold out ticket event of 200 mixed aged partygoers so it was going to be a mixed bag of reactions. Probably not going to be everybody's cup of tea but heyho. Understandably started a bit subdued but it was a good (polite) crowd. Second set improved and just got better and better. We played well, PA was great and was well enjoyed by all with some very positive comments. The best gig I've done for about 15 years I should think.

Thanks man! No sure, 90’s bass . . I’ll check the serial number and update 👍🏻 -
All Sold in bizarre trade deal. Magic. -
@Al Krow absolutely! That's quite the leak!
-
Guess I'm surprised that they've allowed it to go on sale ahead of general release though? Seems unusual in terms of commercial practice?

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

Def, short scale much better for me now for both weight and size. -
Selling my Ibanez RGD Iron Label RGDIX7MPB 7 String as I tend to reach for other guitars nowadays. Bridge pickup has been upgraded to a Bareknuckle Ragnarok and I still have the original. Currently tuned down to drop E but new set of strings and it'll be easy enough to put back to Standard. Couple little dings in the finish that have been pictured. I can post at cost but will need a bit of time to find a box!

If part financed by others, shouldn't whose decision it was then come into it? If entirely the decision of the BCer, it's a fail, if it's a democratic decision or an autocratic one where the autocrat is other than the BCer, it isn't a fail.

Paddy, many thanks for the info. Cheers. -
Changing/adjusting overly-bright LEDs in pedals?
Geek99 replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Repairs and Technical
Just use tape - add layers till you get the desired effect -
My Anagram arrived a couple of days ago, but haven’t had chance to try it yet. I used to have the Orange Terror bass amp, so am keen to try that new model

This is a parts bass made with a JV Precision neck and neck plate, all the original JV hardware (tuners, string tree, bridge and headstock strap button). Pickup is a mid 2000’s MIM Fender and the electrics were with the body which is a Y series early 2000 Chinese Squier. The scratch-plate is from a Korean Squier and I also have the original but cracked Chinese scratch-plate. I bought the JV neck and parts minus the original body. The neck had to have a snapped screw removed from the neck butt before it was doweled and filled by the luthier. The serial number, neck plate and Squier hardware are all from one bass. The neck plate has some corrosion but the JV serial number is visible. Although listed as a project the bass plays well as is. It has been set up with a low action wearing D’Addario strings. The truss-rod works and frets are good. The necks on these early Japanese Squiers are fantastic as no doubt you are aware. The instrument is reasonably light at 3.8kgs and sounds like a typical Precision. Selling at what it cost me in parts. No trades sorry, pickup preferred but I can post in the UK only at buyer’s cost. I will include a worn but well padded gig bag.-

I owned a Sei for a short while many moon ago (time stamp on these pics say it was 20 fecking years ago...Wow),Sold all but one my basses and guitars to get the Ca$h together to buy it (as i recall it was £1250 off of ebay from a guy in blackpool) I Sold after i got the self building bug to buy a load of wood working tools/gear and wood to start building my own stuff.....have to say It was a fantastic feeling/playing (& looking) bass with the highest craftmanship i've seen...but the Barts/Preamp seemed to lack any punch and i couldn't get anything like the grit i could get from my Spector/TP (which was the only bass i kept)... Pics (in case anyone recognises it !)... i had the matching Buckeye knobs made by a guy in the USA (£75 for the set, that's not something i be willing to pay for these days! (just because i could cnc them myself )

Farsley, so not a million miles from you!

Yes, but did you pay for it 100% yourself or was it part financed my others?

Changing/adjusting overly-bright LEDs in pedals?
AinsleyWalker replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Repairs and Technical
Yeah I may get some replacement LEDs, if that's the easiest solution (other than tape etc). I wasn't sure if they could be internally adjusted. Will do some reading into what kind/rating etc LED will be best. -
Changing/adjusting overly-bright LEDs in pedals?
SimonK replied to AinsleyWalker's topic in Repairs and Technical
My keeley compressor has a similar problem (also blue) so I've put some masking tape over the LED. You can still see when it is on, but can also make out the settings. Otherwise simply open it up and solder on a different LED? -
I would say band purchases count as a fail - I have periodically taken great delight in buying pieces of PA, microphones, and even stage lights for band usage, and my wife (who is the ultimate authority) has counted all of these as GAS related!
-
I've had a MuTron MicroTron IV on my board for years, it's great but I've finally had enough of the stupidly bright LEDs. Anyone know anything about replacing/adjusting LEDs? Thought I'd ask here before I go back to work and can ask some technicians. And Happy New Year 👍

What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...
tauzero replied to kwmlondon's topic in General Discussion
Thinking of telly, I have an irrational prejudice against people who comment on TV adverts when I am the only other person in the room. When watching live TV on a channel with adverts (it does happen), I completely ignore the TV during advert breaks, but frequently Mrs Zero (with whom I have been living since Christmas Day 2005[1], so you'd think she knows that I ignore adverts by now) will start going on about the content of an advert that is either showing or has just ended. [1] That's another story -
A total steal at £300 for an amazing cab. I just picked up an HD112 and used it properly a few days ago - it's a beast of a cab so I can only imagine what the big brother can do. GLWTS -
Hipshot BT extender for Fender older basses I think the model is the BT2. It was fitted to my 1978 Fender Precision but will fit on some reissues from the 70’s too. Great condition as rarely used. See pics. UK post included.
