Mesa Subway combos 👍

Yes, I didn't like to show off, but I guess it was obvious from the size of the stack that something was up

Honestly, its not worth the effort! The odd saddle on the A6 works fine, just looks mildly out of place. I may replace it at some point, but doing anything to alter either the bass or the bridge isn't worth it. To me.

Bat out of hell might get into the top 20. And maybe another Bowie track or two. Given the worship for Prince on here, it's a bit surprising that he hasn't put in an appearance.

Because it was cheap, the bass in question hadn't arrived and I took a punt. 100% my risk to take. At £20 for the bridge, I'd happily take a similar punt in a similar scenario. I'm not going to loose money or sleep over it!

Very much a subjective opinion. 700 and 770 use the same drivers. I prefer (and own) the 770, especially if you want fuller bass, but that's just my choice. YMMV.

FANTASTIC You can have my 15 quid now if you want What, even my virtually-intravenous coffee addiction? Can I put in a cheeky early bagsy for a dementia/Alzheimers charity? Sadly, a cause that is very close to home.

The DiMarzio pickups usually have adjustable pole pieces so you can set the pickup heights in the usual way but fine tune the volume of each string by either lowering or raising the pole pieces with an alien key.

https://www.guitarchat.co.uk/forum/15-amps-and-cabs/ GuitarChat is more current, but I just searched this site first, I didn't check how old the posts were.

Another endorsement for either Adam or Kali monitors. I have a set of Adam AX7s which, you may be able to pick up second hand. I use them with a matching sub woofer as my near field setup and they're superb. I've also heard great things about the Kali 8" offerings too.

Roughly half the weight. I have them on my Aerodyne. Is the bass of far east origin? If so, you may need the GB528

I have owned a stomp and some Zoom pedals before, but not used with keyboard so perhaps I should re-consider them. My issue with pretty much any multi-fx I've tried (and I have tried most of them) is they lack that immediacy/improvisation of individual pedals chained together. The Stomp for example, say I just quickly decide while playing keys that I want to turn on a Phaser and increase its rate and then after a few seconds turn on distortion and gradually increase that: Perhaps I'm doing things wrong but I would usually figure I need to have a 'Phaser + Distortion' preset to scroll through to that'd have Phaser assigned to one FS (to turn on first), 'phaser rate' assigned as something I can easily/quickly edit with the knobs, then 'Distortion' on another FS to turn on and distortion amount assigned to knobs to increase, and what if I then decide I want to add a delay for the last notes of the song and I don't have that as a FS in the preset? I dunno, but that sort of scenario never seems to have worked out for me with multi-fx in the same way as if I just had them as individual pedals, I'd end up needing a massive list of presets to scroll through to cover every eventuality, or a big long effext chain I scroll into to activate the specific ones I need, or different footswitches assingned for different eventualities. For me, multi-fx are great for pre-planned sets with presets, and 'always on' type things (amp/cab sims, compression etc), but much less so (and less fun) for live on-the-go improvisation. ..but yeah, I conceed that I should probably re-consider how I use multi-fx as they are probably the more sensible option. The Plethora X3 looks pretty decent to me as stereo effects and the sort of hands-on features of individual pedals. Annoying it doesn't have any distortions though.

Closest I can find weights for are - the above are 61.8g each and the Schaller 70's type tuners (shorter stem but bigger button) are 102g each. Not very scientific I'm afraid.

Fair point, they'll probably enjoy the bland stuff from Stadium Arcadium. There will probably be some post 2000 Pearl Jam as well.

Yes, they should bring it back, Id have another.

Gorgeous bass, I can see me getting one of these at some point.

Thanks for that. I had forgotten about that section, looks like the last time it was touched was nearly ten years ago I've plugged the Tele in, will plug the active Strat (heresy on heresy) in later and just have a play. The 8" cab is (to my ears) a very good cab for both guitars and basses. I would like to say it's my playing but I'm not that stupid (or egoistical). Rob

Or the old holes in the body of the bass filled and new pilot holes for the screws made in the right place. Quite why anyone would assume one piece of hardware is going to have the fixing holes in exactly the same place as the item it is replacing when they are of different designs is beyond me.

Exclusive at Andertons No idea how 'limited' limited is. There's also a few guitars in the same finish, it looks like the Jazz is the only bass offering. https://www.andertons.co.uk/fender-player-ii-jazz-bass-guitar-lavender-haze/

OK, so let's see if we can make this work on the basis that everyone pays more and brings their own food. Just checked that the hall is still available on Sunday 11 October and put a provisional hold on it. However, we will need at least 20 Basschatters to commit by paying £15 a head well in advance. This will also more than cover the continuous provision of hot drinks. If the attendance is higher on the day then we can just divide the cash surplus and give everyone a cash refund before close of play. Alternatively, the balance could be donated to a pre-agreed charity. Over to you 🙂

I certainly am Hopefully that far in the future Mrs Woodinblack will be better and capable of doing the vegan food and the heart thing will be fixed in some way
