  1. Past hour
  2. I'm heading to the Peak District in September so could take it should anyone that way be interested. Cheers.
  3. I had a similar issue at a theatre on Saturday. The in-house lighting guy had put one of those automated turning and tilting round LED multi colour lights right next to where I was playing. Every time I moved to the right, my Jazz Elite's preamp started whining & hissing like crazy! I thought it was unusual at the time, as that bass is usually as quiet as a comatose mouse. I've attached a picture here - you can see it through the legs of my Fender Stool.

  5. Howdy all I love Rotosounds, but I don’t love these. Unwrapped, cut to fit a Fender Jazz, used for 10 mins, removed. They sound amazing but are too high tension for my left hand. Weird. Other Rotos seem fine to me, but whatever. Anyway. My loss is your gain. Very bougie strings for £15 posted to your door (as long as you’re in the UK). Pete

  7. John made me a passive Vol-Blend-Tone loom for my 5 string Precision build. Dead easy to install (even if John was super-fast in delivering it and you've lost the wiring diagram in the weeks it took for the pickups to arrive) and sounds great. Thanks again John!
  8. The bow and 6 year olds!
  9. Last bump before I take her down for good. Must be a really slow market at the moment. This should fly off the shelf at this price!
  10. I'd put an ad there as well Andy, the rig is relevant to both 👍
  11. ….and of course if you installed a pair of Dimarzio model Ps in there the adjustable pole pieces would have it covered anyway 👍
  12. GLWTS! I've had one for the last 16 years and I can vouch for these, I love mine a LOT.
  13. Thank you chaps. I went with a Stingray instead.
  14. Thanks chaps. I've ordered some grain filler so I'll do that first then sealer then paint. It's a paulownia body so it is quite open grain. Most of the body is poly coated already, but I've put in belly and arm carves that are currently without any finish and they'll need a stable finish for the wrap.
  15. Practice with the bow is never wasted. Intonation can be lax with pizz and you can get away with the odd interesting pitch. The bow does not lie.
  16. Ah gwaan! Will PM Mickey
  17. This looks great! I don’t have the time to dedicate to orchestral stuff really. I’m doing 70 DB gigs a year at the moment and it really takes up the time. But it’s what I enjoy doing at home and that’s keeping me playing the bass daily, which is what it’s all about.
  18. Today
  19. Need this gone. Tell your guitarist friends! £1025 OBO
  20. The position of the pickups on a Stingray determine a large part of the sound..
  21. Depending on how thick the wrap is, I would expect it to show some surface imperfections underneath - probably not swirl marks or orange peel, but any scratch deep enough to feel with your fingers. Ideally you'll want the paint to be as close to perfect as you can get, as if it were the actual finish - but OTOH I've never done a wrap myself except really basic hobbycraft-type stuff, proper professional-grade materials might cover better. The key to a good finish, as always, is good prep.
  22. 🍒Good price for a great bass🍒/ I bet it's on the light side of 4 kg (🍒)
  23. Great to hear of your good experience at Bowspeed. You should definitely try orchestral playing, I've done a couple of play days which are great fun, low pressure and great experience. There's always other players there so you can "hide" in the section 😅I'm doing one next month in Crewkerne - a movie themed day - should be a lot of fun!

  24. Happy to hear offers as above! willing to have it move on before the credit card catches up
  25. Throw me an offer, I'm open - going from what I've seen online the pricing is fair but I could be wrong, I don't see a lot of these online so I'm happy to talk!
