Very brief clip of me playing along to Peaches by the Stranglers (backing track on YouTube with no bass). Just to mess around with the tone & volume capacity of my piss poor 15w amp. Surprisingly I think I did well in capturing the JJ Burnel bass growl in this, although I’m just using a sonic P with stock pickups. 48a8d4db-1e07-4e08-b591-17de951a05b4.mov

Please feel free to contact me directly ref DJ, I've not been able to locate your original email.

Brown eyed girl. Studying a setlist for a band I’m joining and it’s quite simple but also intricate in terms of timing. I like it

Thanks Mike! Since my post I ventured out to Truro a couple weeks ago and visited Modern Music. Great little shop. I nearly went away with an Ashdown Studio 210 if it wasn’t for the fact we parked too far away to lug it around, plus I had to be conscious of throwing £550 at an amp so early into my bass journey

Went past the shop in Bristol and was going to pop in. Seems a shame. It wasn’t perfect, but wasn’t like the elitist and exclusive shops of the 1980s and 90s.

Hey Steve! St Austell lad here. 🤘🏼

The only 4 band specials I've put together included an additional Mid Sweep. In other words, 2 sweepable mid stacks. Whereas, if my understanding is correct, you're suggesting a stack with 2 boost/cut mids at different fixed frequencies. The Flexcore would likely fit the bill straight out of the box. Have you considered it? https://www.flexcorepreamps.com/shop/flexcore-system/

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - Bryan Ferry

That’s awesome to see that early sketch, didn’t change too much in the end

That's a beauty 😍 I'm just a little bit envious !

Thanks Terry. Good luck with the AFRS

I'm guessing not up for sale!

Resurecting an old post to add some lived in details! Stripped the guitar down to add some stick in copper shielding yesterday. I was finding the background noise intrusive, even as a fairly low skill bassist. There was black paint in the cavities which I assume was shielding paint, but I could read no resistance across <5mm seperation of multimeter probes. There was also no connection between the cavities (ground lead to the bridge was in place) and the pickgaurd was completely plastic. I was able to cover the two pickup cavities, control cavity, the back of the pickguard, and a few tabs to make connections to the pickguard, and te metal control plate. Continuity checks showed low resistance between the cavities, and once the control plate was screwed in the pickup cavities and the bridge. I finished the work up with a re-setup. I found the gap between the b string and the 7-9 frets to be less than 0.3 mm, I increased the curve in the neck (loosened truss) to take this to 0.75-1.00mm and tweaked the action to suit. Plays much better now with a lighter touch on the lower frets and generally less fret noise and buzzing that I had associated with poor technique.

Light My Fire - The Doors

The website is still online, but no checkout option on your basket. And just seen the other thread on here with the picture of the administrator details posted on a shop door. Sad times for the staff, gotta feel sorry for anyone in that position.

It’s a shame, the Northampton branch which I used to go to was excellent, had good service from them over the past 15 or so years.

I own this @LukeFRC...

Didn’t realise it the new helix stadium was posted here. I posted on general discussion. If people go on the livestream forward to 37mins where they unveil the stadium
