The Dead Girls - OMD

There may be other issues - but your analysis of the trussrod seems right. If the string is hard down on the frets when holding down at 1st and 14th, then the trussrod is too tight. Before sending it back, it might be worth trying to loosen it until there is a 'just-perceptible gap' at the mid point fret.

I like the HiMass too except I found it’s extra length not ideal and harder to get very low action due to the base thickness. No such issues with the Gotoh

Holy moly

Living Dead Girl - Rob Zombie

42

That's dog wood - you can tell it by it's bark

Im interested in doing this exact thing, ill definitely keep tabs on this. One thing to keep in mind is the fretboard radius of whatever neck you get. Unless the pole pieces are height adjustable, in which case ignore me

Zombie Jamboree - Harry Belafonte

Not wanting to be awkward, but is the issue with the cab or the cable? Obviously the most affected element is the cab but the cable is the where the fault lies, as I read it.

I had a pair of these. Possibly the best bass cab ever made.

I rhink it probably would have been taken into consideration if he'd had plead gulity and shown remorse, but the charges were pretty serious. After we returned a verdict the judge revealed he had previous convictions, although she didn't go into any detail & I've not been able to find out specifics. Anyway after a two month delay for 'reports' (although he was immediately locked up after the verdict pending setencing) he eventually got 22 years.

I expect the irony is that if he'd pled guilty and showed contrition he'd have got a lesser sentence and already be out!

In the case I was on the jury for last year the guy was originally charged in 2021. So again over 4 years to get to crown court. That was quite a nasty one too, with the guy having pretty much been caught red handed on some of the charges. But by denying the charges and pleading not gulity at every stage he basically got 4 extra years of freedom before starting his jail term.

I was really taken aback seeing Level 42 on the Retroglide tour years ago. Mark was playing a MK1 Kingbass through Ashdown amps and his tone was absolutely ferocious. Super crisp and clean but with a huge amount of punch. That setup really moved the air in the way that his other basses don't - I love the Jaydees but they don't have the 'fullness' of sound or body that the Status did.

That's a fairly normal timescale. In August 2019 I dealt with a case of S.20 assault that didn't go to trial until the summer of 2023, almost four years after the offence and three years after the charge was issued. Courts are absolutely rammed at the moment and they have been for years. Cases are often continually pushed back to make room for more complex or more serious cases.

After rehearsal tonight, I can only say that this is just a complete misinterpretation, mistranscription of a song. Jeez. It's a train crash. I'm left wondering how to deal with it. I've managed to get the message across about it all being C# for 12 bars but the effort versus reward is stacked against me when we're trying to get gig-ready. It works if I play the bass line as roots of the chords the guitarists play (of course) but it's a butcher's shop of a song after the reprise. I'm struggling to see how whoever got it that wrong/different. Not only that but the arrangement is different inasmuch as there's extra bits and missing bits compared to the original. What have we learned? Well, you might not be as rubbish as they or you think they are, you might be a genuine bass god but those around you haven't got the memo yet. On the other hand, I might just be part of a really elaborate wind up. Fortunately, it's a band of people that are very balanced and OK with challenging anything. It's a rare thing.
