  1. Past hour
  2. Precision. Flats. Tone control only just on. Valve preamp, gain at 1 o'clock. Slightly more bass than middle and slightly more mid than treble. Pair of 15s. To my ears, a nice big, fat sound with a good deal of heft but good definition.
  3. Ferrofish B4000+ Organ Module Hammond Brilliant little organ module from Ferrofish that makes any midi controller into a Hammond organ complete with drawbars, reverb, rotary speaker and overdrive. It’s really solidly made all steel construction with a small but clear display to show your way through the presets and variations. You can use it to save your own sounds or as a live organ using the drawbars. You can attach a control pedal to it for the rotary effect and it has USB and midi. It is also designed to be used with two controllers and a set of bass pedals if you want the full B3 experience but it doesn’t take four roadies to shift it! High quality and still being manufactured in Germany it comes boxed with manual PSU and USB lead. I’ve used it occasionally for gigs when space has been tight but mainly for rehearsals rather than carting my Nord around so I can use the in house controller. Really handy little unit. Great condition. See specs here and sound samples, lots of videos online - https://www.ferrofish.com/b4000-organ/?v=7885444af42e&cn-reloaded=1 I can post in the UK at buyer’s cost. Note you are buying the module, PSU and USB lead no controller keyboard is included.
  4. Er, no… schoolboy error. Entirely my own fault.
  5. Blue sister. Stranglers
  6. It's all in the fingers 😉
  7. will do cheers for that... i have reposted the post in recording incase anyone has any comments/info cheers,
  8. I got a set of Beyerdynamic DT770 pro 80ohm headphones. these.... from the same place... https://www.thomann.co.uk/beyerdynamic_dt770_pro80_ohm.htm been waiting all xmas for them could not wait to try them. got them and just spent the day testing them and..... disappointed 😞 can say they are not as good as the copys made by superlux for £32 ! Superlux HD-660 Pro 32 Ohms these from the same place... https://www.thomann.co.uk/superlux_hd_660_pro_32_ohm.htm Clearer, more open stereo field, better top end. Now it might be because they are coloured but on testing them against my monitors i have to say the cheap superlux are more correct to my monitor sound through tannoy and roland DS90s it might be just what your use to i suppose stick with what you know be interesting if anyone has heard these coming from the 770s to the hd660s
  9. *sigh* Memories ☺️
  10. Headphones take some running in before they open up and approach their best! I’d advise to play some test tones/ sine waves and random playlists through them for a few days and then try again.
  11. There's a lot of bassists here that have done or do tribute at quite a serious level and might be able to comment. I think the answer depends on the situation, the particular tribute. The last time I did it, I was approached because the band leader knew me and knew that I'm generally up for playing anything within my technical capacity. If you're looking at being in a touring tribute I'm sure kit, ability and being gig savvy are givens. There's one big touring UK tribute band that I've seen a few times where the bassist (IMO) hasn't got the chops and some of the iconic parts are simplified or sketched over but he's solid, does BVs as per the original, has replica gear and is a really good lookalike. He seems to be a really nice guy too. I'm sure that what he lacks in technical ability is made up for in all the other things he is and brings. I don't think think there's a cheat code for this, I think you just have to knock on a lot of doors, put yourself about and network.

  13. Today
  14. You're not chasing your vestigial tail are you?
  15. Eldest has moved on and I want this vile thing out of my house £2 postage, £5 to basschat or collect in coalvile if you’re feeling brave/suicidal (either works)
  16. Nun Of The Above — Frank Zappa
  17. Funky Monks - Red Hot Chili Peppers
  18. I had a US L2500 modded as described. The pickups are amazing and splitting them unleashes great J sounds.
  19. I’ve settled on .73 mainly because of seeing & hearing Bobby Vega. I only use anything over 1mm for guitar.
  20. Thanks Folks, it’s coming on a treat. The Liberon is now curing for 7 days before a couple of coats of shellac and starting the nitro clear coat.
  21. I’ve been doing a bit of staining myself. used a Spirit stain and currently doing the Tru-Oil finish. It was a normal unfinished slab body and I did the arm and belly carves. I purposely didn’t use a grain filler after sanding to 320 grit as I wanted a bit of a reclaimed barn wood look. 2 coats of stain, then gently sanded back to smooth / remove nibbling and to reduce the stain thickness on some edges just for some variation. Then Tru-Oil. Currently at 4 coats of tru oil. Tomorrow I’ll be getting the 0000 wire wool out to very gently smooth it and to see if I need any more oil coats. If not then I’ll hang it for 2 weeks to let the oil cure properly and to rock hard, then polish it. Or I’ll do another couple of coats.
  22. Ok cool. Whenever you have time thanks 👍
  23. Thank you. Yes, i feel it's a good price for an instrument of this pedigree and versatility
