For those of you without Google Maps, be aware that Spondon is a suburb of Derby. Never been there, but I've known of it all my life ... ever since my first BSA.

If I did get another one, then the other would get an EMG P-X. That's my other favourite P pickup!

I actually use a old cheap Noise gate pedal to do this for my own personal Bass Mix ,into my IEM's headphone amp you might have one laying around to save you buying the behringer one. but its super cheap ... so maybe just go that route and then she doesnt need a dedicated IEM pre-amp

Those fanned frets don't look awfully fanned to me, and you clearly gave up on the torzal twist ...

Hey, Quickly made an account here to say that I got exactly the same message on Reverb just today. Different phone number but also from UK. Location 1702, Argentina. Pretty big red flag. Cheers, Y.

A new neck and a replacement body and you'll be about there

Talking In Your Sleep - Crystal Gayle

I'll bite! We've not managed a video yet, but here's a Spotify link, the only song I've ever recorded to feature a (mercifully brief) bass solo but don't let that put you off: We've also just released a (very questionable) Christmas song as a bit of a nod to that glorious tradition. Spot the obvious reference on the cover art:

Strangely over time, it seems he hasn't reeally had that many - he was given a couple of rickenbackers and a yamaha, the other things he seems to have got himself.

Thanks that's useful and that description of your Spector is bang on how I hear/feel it. Do you have an actual figure, or range of figures, for that weight? Been experimenting recently and found very modest differences can be significant when it comes to neck dive on a light body. For reference my current jazz neck minus hardware weighs about 780g, has that slightly chunky 70s profile.

I've just bought a Genz Benz NX212t. Great cab. It just works, it's loud enough, it sounds really good, I can't fault it. Previously, I've had a Schroeder 212 with the angled driver. On its own its bit more of an acquired taste, it's quite mid heavy, but very loud, small box and sounded great in bands. They are quite rare though. If I hadn't bought the Genz recently I was mulling over the Lsys cabs. I didn't quite have the budget for one though.

I don't see any chisel marks??

No worries.

Congrats on your new bass, I missed out on a red one of these a while back, the build quality looks really good, the neck wear isn’t for me but that’s just personal taste, nice one

The Behringer Micromon MA400 is what you want. You can also feed in a monitor input so she can hear everything else and/or practice to backing tracks at home. Merry Christmas

Amazing thanks! Looking forward to having a listen, as I'm sure others are! Exactly the sort of post that makes BC such a great forum - thanks Carl!

Yum. Looking fantastic.

Dream On - Aerosmith

I'm going to put this out there just once, in case Rob gets swamped. This is a really generous and genuine offer. Rob very kindly printed me a new grip for an ancient but expensive microphone, where the plastic had crumbled with age. He really represents the best of the BassChat community.

until about 10 years ago my go-to was a Marshall AS50, bought when they first came out, they do work really well as on-stage monitoring as well as having a very good Di output for feeding the desk/PA. I've found that on-stage monitors and IEM's have got better recently though so slimming my kit down to just a Di/multi fx unit makes load in/out so much easier (one guitar case and a bag) I still own the AS50 and have even used it as a mini PA for very small rooms, the Acoustic cube is as a personal monitor really, it can be screwed onto a mic stand to get it up to ear level so the volume can be very low. when i'm playing with the band i'm often doubling on u-bass or EUB as well so using the provided monitors is so much easier than carrying amps (i've also just built a combined board that i can plug both instruments intro, with 2 eq pedals, A/B pedal then tuner and a single radial Di at the end (one feed to the PA trhat can then be set flat with all the volume and tone shaping done at the pedalboard.) when i'm playing in church it's just the T-Rex Soulmate Acoustic required ( we use IEM's) and this fits into a bag with a couple of cables etc. Matt

Thank you very much. The obvious answer is to give her my tiny Mackie Desk that I do not use at all, ever. But something smaller with fewer options would be great.
