There’s a lot of good material out there. Gary Willis’s Fingerboard Harmony is a good one, showing you how to practically apply a lot of this theory. -
2025 SE Bass Basheroonie! Sunday 9/11/25 *CONFIRMED*
jonno1981 replied to NancyJohnson's topic in Events
I’ve always wanted to try one of these but I’ve never seen one in the flesh. Looking forward to taking a look and if possible playing (badly!) a few notes. -
I have two used Spector USA bass bridges that once belonged to NS2 basses I no longer own, I had taken these off in favour of black hardware. One is the heavy all-brass version, this has faded somewhat on the bass side. I’m not sure if this could be polished up. The other is the lighter, aluminium version, this one in better condition. It is considerably lighter. Note: these will not drop into a Euro bass without some re-routing to enlarge the space slightly. £150 for each bridge or £285 for the pair. Price includes UK shipping.

beely started following Does anyone gig with a shortscale?

My regularly-gigged MIJ Fender Mustang. I like it because it is light, sounds great and is easy to play. Had it for about 8 years. Unintended benefit of a short-scale: it takes up less room on a tight stage. I occasionally get out the guitar it has replaced; a 1978 Ric 4001, play it for a wee while and then put it away again.

Thanks Paul, I remember seeing the JS Bach book before, I'll order a copy of that one, also the Jonas book as well, it costs peanuts so well worth a punt -

I'm hoping to turn up on Sunday. I'm going to bring a box for measuring pickups and my early Vigier Arpege as a guinea pig. Not expecting to pass through Kent when I leave Portsmouth... -

At my local liquor store the Korean owner would routinely spray the very stinky homeless people who made up a large part of his customer base with Febreze and an air freshener called Ozium and it seemed to work pretty well. They kept coming back, anyway. I doubt any Pedulla case, however well-travelled, has seen the same levels of poor personal sanitation that those poor wretched souls were subjecting themselves to. Might well be worth giving that combo a try.

This time last week that same amp was on for £99.99, it was re-listed on Sunday or Monday. -
No problem in theory, but a couple of extra factors to consider. The first one that springs to mind is that, whether or not the shim was at the back of the cut, nevertheless the shim or gap thickness will be higher the further back the extended neck you go. As such, you will still have a wedge of centre block wood from the end of the fretboard to the cut - and so some planing or sanding would still be needed if you wanted the centre block to be flush with the body between the cut and the fretboard. But yes, that would work too. As the saying goes, (all types of) guitars are made up of a bunch of compromises held together by hope...

Line 6 Helix Rack boxed Silly Price Drop
fretmeister replied to johnbiffa's topic in Effects For Sale
Such a brilliant bit of kit. I've had mine since they were launched and I've never regretted getting it. It's the heart of my home studio. I know some people are holding out for the L6 Stadium - but so far they have no plans for a rack unit of it because they are unconvinced that a rack would sell as many this time round. The L6 main guy has said so repeatedly - and if it ever comes it will probably be £2000 + foot controller. So this is a real bargain.- 5 replies

Well, the Gruvgear is going back to Thomann. It's too short and too wide. The edge of the strap presses exactly on the edge of the metal plate in my shoulder. So nope, not for me. The 2.5 inch wide version could have worked but the 4" is too wide.

I think that's absolutely the case, I sadly have neither
