    Why? Pardon my ignorance, I'm a newby, so are 62 reissues not that good?

    The updates are coming thick and fast at the moment. This is the third in the last three weeks - and it's a big one with no less than 48 charts uploaded to the site, including 29 brand new ones, taking the site total to 1640. https://tomreadbass.co.uk That's 1,640 accurate bass transcriptions, written by experienced bassist and arranger Tom Read, and every single one of them completely free for you to download, print-off, add to your iPad and use for your own personal gigs or study. No sign-up, no registration, no limit. Just go and help yourself! Lots more Elvis Presley charts in there! In nearly 40 years of gigging, I'd done hardly any Elvis shows, but in 2025 I've worked on three of them! The charts on my site are NOT the ones used in any of those shows, but my own transcriptions from the original recordings - that's my first step in my personal gig preparation before I then go on to customise them for the specific show arrangements. But that first step, I share that work on my website. Anyway, here's the direct links for the newly added or updated Elvis charts: '68 Comeback Special Medley https://www.tomreadbass.co.uk/_files/ugd/238d8f_84e261d203184394806012860496f6f1.pdf 2001 into C.C.

    I was going to (and BDDI), but i think those things change the sound more rather than just adding warmth. I guess it depends on why the OP is looking for. A warm sound, or a warmer version of his sound. Sansamp stuff certaily does the first, and ive used one for about 20+ years, but its not the same to my ears as warming up whats already there.

    Having used my XR18 for a good few gigs now, and having slightly struggled with the Android version of XR Edit, I have switched to Mixing Station. The customisation is a bit bewildering, but the visual is consistent across operating systems and it's more intuitive. I hadn't had any problems with Edit but Mixing Station has the reputation of being more stable also.

    After downsizing my office to make room for the offspring Im finding myself extremely short on space. My Hercules 6 guitar tree just isn't practical for the space any more so need a more compact, preferably integrated solution. Ive got a 3x4 kallax on the back wall, the plan is to get a sheet of 25mm hardwood ply to build some integrated shelving with build in space for 5-6 basses/guitars to stack vertically. Just finishing up a sketch but wondered if anyone else had done similar?
  14. Bassassin started following Mazeti 5 String Bass info
  15. Bassassin
    Mazeti is - or probably was - a brand from 15-20 years back & may have been exclusively sold on Ebay, back before it was complete sh!te. As well as the usual stuff I remember some nice-looking Jazz types with hippy-sandwich type bodies in nice woods - and I always had inexplicable GAS for this odd singlecut semi thing with a bizarre headstock & laminated fretboard. They likely pre-date the Chinese invasion so were possibly Korean, Indonesian or Taiwanese.

    I was once in a band where the singer and drummer were in a relationship. Drummer decided to dump the singer before a gig. As we approached the last song (and therefore the denouement of their relationship) she turned to him in tears and threw her guitar on the floor. I picked it up and played the last song.

    I can lend you a butter knife and you could go at it like Jaco, if you like.

    Thanks! It’s a VERY nice Stingray - 1995 2eq velvet satin ash model with Aguilar OBP-2 preamp and Aguilar pickup. It has sustain for days and serious punch that new ones can only dream of. Sadly not for sale ☺️ I’ve got a nice MIM Jazz for sale, though…

    Boss RV-6 for sale, this one is mint and in perfect working order, no box, collection welcome or UK insured postage for £8.50 BOSS RV-6 Reverb Effects Pedal Combining high-end sound and wide-ranging versatility, the BOSS RV-6 takes pedal-based reverb to the next level. Reaching beyond the capabilities of previous generations, this powerful stomp employs the latest tech and legendary BOSS know-how to make it easy to get amazing reverb tones instantly. From subtle rooms to modern shimmer effects to long, evocative reverbs, the RV-6 envelops your tone in lush ambient spaces that endlessly inspire. BOSS RV6, Simply Great-Sounding Reverbs Packing the latest BOSS DSP and updated algorithms, the BOSS RV-6 gives you eight highly musical reverb effects in one compact pedal. Add body and depth to your core tone with standards like Room, Hall, and Plate, dial up swirling richness with the Modulate setting, or surf it up with a vintage-style Spring reverb. Dynamic mode automatically adjusts the effect depth to your playing touch, providing deep, immersive reverb that won’t turn your tone to mud. And modern players will love the new Shimmer and Reverb+Delay modes. Dialed-In Reverb Sounds at Your Command The BOSS RV6 makes getting high-quality reverb sounds with your guitar quick and easy—just select a sound mode, tweak the knobs to taste, and play. But while its operation is simple, the RV-6’s sound is rich and sophisticated. Under the hood, each mode includes a huge array of detailed reverb parameters, all perfectly tuned for guitar by the BOSS engineers with direct input from many pro players and sound engineers. Even as you adjust the selected mode with the Time and Tone knobs, many parameters are simultaneously adjusted inside to create the ideal voicing for every setting. Analog Dry Tone and Versatile I/O While the BOSS RV-6’s reverb effects are high-tech digital, you can rest assured that your straight guitar tone always remains pure analog as the effect is blended in. Convenient auto-switching jacks let you integrate with any pedal chain, with support for mono, mono-to-stereo, and stereo-to-stereo operation. And by plugging into the B input only, the BOSS RV6 outputs a 100-percent wet sound, great for working with more complex rigs that employ parallel processing chains and mixers. There’s also a jack for connecting an optional expression pedal, allowing you to control the effect level in real time as you play.

    Reduced to £50. Kent Armstrong Bass Humbucker for a 4 string bass. Circa 1990 when I purchased new and still in excellent condition and virtually unmarked. It's been in two of my basses over the last 35 years and sounds great. I think these were handmade, add £7.00 for UK insured postage.
