I'm really curious to see if I can get away with buying a venture and putting it on a pf cabinet with custom mounting. Anyone tried that yet?

Just wait until you see my Sire at the SWBB 😍

When Fender bought Jackson/Charvel one of the first things they did was discontinue the Surfcaster line because they considered it direct competition for their own Jaguars andJazzmasters Fender's other brands all cover different markets. Charvel for modern rock players, Jackson for the heavy stuff, Gretsch covers a lot of the same ground as Gibson , none of them are in direct competition with Fender. I think the problem G&L may have is that, L Series aside, a lot of G&L models are based directly on Fender models and have been marketed as upgrades on those original designs for a long time. I can't see Fender selling Fender clones (albeit upgraded ones) under a different brand.

At one point, I had four. I sold three of them thinking I was wanting to go in a bit of a different direction, but I miss them! Here's three of them. I still have the red 5-string.

My frends really awful band - advice needed
BassAdder60 replied to Uncle Rodney's topic in General Discussion
Some years back I formed a band that had a very mediocre singer and eventually I decided to leave as I knew it was never going to improve Some years later they are still gigging as a band or acoustic duo and folk seem to love them but she has a terrible voice. Punters don’t seem to care ! -

Cliff Edge started following Attendance Concerns

Some years ago I had a gig in a social club in North London. Attendance was practically zero in the hall. There were a few others in an adjacent room watching TV. A large venue opposite was very busy. They had something called Live Aid going on.

While it's not here yet so technically not my latest pedal - I have an actual OC-2 due to arrive tomorrow after years of trying and testing various clones! Looking forward to removing the -2 control and seeing how the OG stacks up to my Octabvre mini!

Thanks all. Still tinkering until i get get it to my tech. Currently im easily getting the nasally snarl but struggling to get much low end. Ill need to have a play with pup heights etc but feels lovely to play. Maybe the lack of lows is coming from being a habitual P bass/flats player

Guys, let's move off the "sh!t sandwich" debate, it's not my style anyway. I've had a chat with my singer friend. Did a bit of fancy footwork founded on trust and respect. I suggested that I do not get involved with his existing band with a list of "passive" but truthful reasons and resurrected the idea of setting up a separate band. He seems very pleased with this idea. I came up with a band name which he seemed to like. Now looking for band members...usual nonsense looming. 🙄 Thanks for the opinions, quite varied really, some gentle and some brutal. I can take what might work and apply in context Sean's suggestion reminded me of "it's about you not me" which I think works the best in my situation. Gentle souls don't deserve to be kicked, just because the kicker is low on skill. Besides, bands should be fun not a bruising experience, some would say, if it's not fun why do it? A little off topic maybe, I've found if a really caring chap has been though a heavy divorce, lost a child, living with serious long term illness it brings a heavy burden. I don't know if my friend has these (I care not to enquire) but I detect there is something. Be nice, if you can't be nice then f**k off! 😆 - Today

Orange O Bass MKII - 2022 Model - Black The Orange O Bass sounds lovely but it gets some shade for the following elements that I have remedied: Neck Dive I installed a high mass bridge. And replaced the machineheads with Resolites. The Neck Dive is virtually non-existent (which the unflattering photo of yours truly will confirm). Playability The set-up was pants when I got this bass. I replaced the nut with a bone version and the strings are set for a much more comfy 41mm type of width. The stock pickup sounded ok but putting in an EMG Geezer Butler pickup really brought his bass to life. The pickup is 4mm closer to where a P Bass pickup normally is located and it creates a fuller yet in-your-face tone that I REALLY love. It comes with an Original O-Bass Gig Bag. I cannot stress how great this bass sounds. I have two O Basses (this was my back-up) and, as I can only use one at time, it seems silly to have it taking up space. Beautifully setup and playable. 3.7 kg And it balances ok with a strap. Collected preferred (I live in East London). Happy to meet up within the confines of the M25 via car. Happy to send it provided that the new owner sorts out the courier.

Fender Vintera 60s Jazz vs Squier Classic Vibe 60s Jazz: which one?
Geek99 replied to Marvin's topic in Bass Guitars
What would be hard about routing out a cutout with a chisel at the base of the neck ? It would be hidden by the plate and a neat solution to your unlike @HeadlessBassist if you like the bass in every other way it seems a trivial fix
