  1. Past hour
  2. For the immediate I’d say put in a lot of hours on your fretting and try to change it to avoid using the index finger as much as possible. Might also be worth looking into lowest possible tension strings, just to make it easier in the interim.
  3. Has anyone here swapped the pickguard out for a traditional 3 ply?
  4. Something simple for the developing readers, the bass part for the Billy Strayhorn composition 'Blood Count' from the 1968 album, 'And His Mother Called Him Bill', recorded in tribute to the recently deceased Strayhorn. 'Blood Count' was reportedly the last tune Strayhorn wrote for the Ellington band and this is it's first recording. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/blood-count-duke-ellington/
  5. I hope you have a warm and well ventilated workshop / spray booth?
  6. Try it with no instrument connected. Single coil pickups are prone to picking up RF noise. If the amp is fine with no instrument connected, you may benefit from adding some screening tape to the control cavities.
  7. You can trial this if you’d like. I haven’t use for it and it needs to go.
  8. I have one of these. Well thought out preamp pedal and really solid build
  9. I have a plain Fender lead. In my cable tester, which detects intermittent faults, it always passes. Put it in a bass and it crackles and pops, though others don't. I can't figure it out.
  10. I'm assuming no as they both have the same circuit inside?
  11. I read that Fender makes more profit from the Squier lines than any of its US operations. I reckon the ratios are probably right in your post.
  12. On a phone so limited, though the board looks lovely. Do you know who undertook the work?
  13. Lonesome Loser - Little River Band
  14. The Monday batch, like Renault cars. 😂
  15. I know this kit as I wanted to make a 4 pedals unit for the Fazioli software piano, but as the Studiologic keyboard has assignable joysticks, I gave up. There's is this guy who built his pedalboard using the Doepfer kit (unit + bass pedals): https://viktorwadskog.wordpress.com/part-1-idea-planing-and-reseach/ Really worth reading before starting your project. 😉
  16. @chris_b - you could pledge now and try to be good for the rest of the year. 😉
  17. I’ve heard he’s a dab hand at Chuck berry tunes …
  18. Possibly interested in Barefaced cabs or Fender Bassman (silver face) rigs in trade

  22. The DM610 is a large bookshelf/standmount speaker from renowned hi-fi brand B&W, featuring a well-braced 30-litre sealed cabinet with 8-inch mid-bass driver. The larger driver and extra cabinet space create a much better low end range than from most similar speakers. This model allows for either bi-wiring or bi-amplification. These speakers present clean tight bass response, surprisingly clear mids for such a large driver and the pleasant highs that the well-designed B&W tweeter at that time was famous for. They can be driven quite loud, enough for the physical effect of the bass to be felt without audible distortion or a sense of sound compression. Both speakers are in Very Good condition, especially for their vintage. All-original, complete with full grilles (one of which has a small hole, shown in the final photo). Only £125. Collection from Bournemouth BH6 preferred. Here comes the science bit… Type: 2-way closed, shelf speaker Colour: Ash black veneer Dimensions: 490 x 236 x 303 mm (H x W x D) Weight: 7.8 kg Recommended amplifier power: 30-150 W Frequency response: 70 - 20,000 Hz (±2 dB) Crossover: 2500 Impedance: 4 Ohm
  23. Thanks, Mokl. I was running two as a vertical stack – best live sound I've ever had!
  24. There aren’t many stores left in the UK at least but they do tend to sell the same stuff. Maybe the market has become more concentrated than it was 20 years ago? I think you’re right about basschatters tending to swap more than others, but bassbros and bass direct seem to get through second hand stock fairly quickly.
