    Wish i had known you were there and would have dropped in for a bit. I usually see the band advertised on their sandwich board outside when i'm sitting in Costa coffee across the road but couldn't quite make out the name on the board. Maybe next time. What's the band name ? Dave

    That's generously put Phil, thank you. But I think Doc J is also correct: sometimes it's a case of us being content to play something that "just works" rather than putting the time and effort to learn something trickier but ultimately truer to the what the original band intended, and frankly often just a much better bassline than the "flattened" / simplified version I've certainly been guilty of settling for! I'm not going to deny that I loved the appreciative smile from a pro guitarist who was depping for us for a function gig last year when he heard me playing the correct bassline on Go Your Own Way. And yes a few members of the audience do notice too!

    Same. I think the video still holds up today too.

    We have a Monzo account for band stuff. To be honest it makes things much easier.

    In general I think you want a stage sound which is brighter and less bassy than the out-front sound. That helps with both feedback and intonation. So it can be good to send a clean DI to the desk for out front, then use a stage amp that lets you roll off the bass while still sounding ok. You definitely want stage volume as low as can be managed - if there's a kit drummer that's a problem. In-ear monitors would be a big help.

    We always aim for at least three at the start of each set to run together with minimal breaks and links where possible. Great but when everything is running tight like that in the set getting to water or swap a bass (not something I do much to maintain the set momentum) can be a trial. with luck there’ll be something where the bass doesn’t come in for the first verse 🫣🤣

    Given the goth style makeup she went out in last night I beg to differ... 😊

    According to the Burns Website the scale length is 25.5" which IME is a bit short for a decent bass tone. Also the Burns neck for their standard Bass VIs is a bit on the narrow side (although not as bad as Fender/Squier) and you would definitely want it wider for the additional octave strings. Confusingly the website says it's 55m in the description which would probably be about right, but only 49mm in the specifications. Plus a 55mm wide nut would result in a near parallel string path unless the pickups and bridge had been modified for increased string spacing all the way. It's alll very confusing. The Barracuda Bass VI had standard guitar width pickups and bridge which wasn't great. I'd certainly be interested in one of these with a 30" scale length and a suitably wide neck, and overall string spacing.

    It’s possible the power bank output voltage will drop if it can’t maintain its specified power output, and I guess no-one without good knowledge of the amp design can 100% guarantee that it can’t be harmed by low input voltage, but it seems unlikely to me.

    Quite. Even worse if you're depping. Hard to Handle is a standard. I suspect there are as many 'versions' as there are bands.

    Thanks, I was actually thinking potentially at a compact PA as I don’t have one yet: eg a Mackie Thump, Bose S1, or similar. Thanks for the link I’ll check out that thread🙂

    I had a Westbury Track 4 for 40years and still regret selling it tbh, so I advise you make sure you are certain before it goes 🙈

    This is silly money. It’s not just an amazing metal machine it’s really versatile- I use mine for rock pop and funk and it’s a fantastic digital I/O front end for a computer. Headphone and stereo outs.

    You invoice the gig, the rest of the band invoice you.

    I also prefer not to have the new string sound. A set of D'Addario NYXL's have been on my Jazz bass for the last 6 years. Still sound pretty good to me, nice and mellow. I tried flats and that wasn't the right sound.

    I've never heard Will Lee "disappear into the mix" and neither does my Sadowsky MV5 Jazz. IMO when basses don't cut through it's due to user error. When they haven't been EQ'd correctly or when the signal chain isn't working in harmony.

    I’ve re-listed this with a price increase due to fix the majority of the issues with it. So… A friend messaged as soon as I posted it last time saying he wanted to buy it. Long story short he messed me around for a couple of weeks and never ended up actually buying it. So, I decided to keep hold of it and get it cleaned up. I took it to my local tech who contact cleaned it and added a new power input jack so all of the crackling has gone. But, he said it needs a new foot switch and it sometimes doesn’t fully engage when pressed the first time. As I was only using it at home I didn’t bother spending more on the switch as he charged me £30 for the clean up and new input. But I’m just not using it so decided to re list it. It was £80 last time so was going to re list at £105 inc postage in order to to get a little back from the clean up spend. Here’s a video of it showing the intermittent footswitch. He said it’s a fairly simple fix, I just didn’t want to spend any more of it at that point. The original listing below… 100% on how to price this but… It’s in desperate need of a service and needs the power connection replacing as it’s a bit loose. Note - this was converted to be powered only years ago and no longer runs on batteries. They go anywhere between £160-£200 brand new with box etc in a good condition. Which, this is not. It was bought for me as a Christmas present in about 2003/4 (Imagine my parents face when they read ‘Russian big muff’ on my Xmas list 😂) Used solidly for about 8 years and has signs of such use including remnants of the gaffer tape I used to use to hold the position of the knobs. It’s sat in storage since about 2011. So, I’m going to put it up at £80 which is half of the cheapest perfect condition, working price I’ve seen. But, I’m not trying to rip anyone off so open to offers on this and wouldn’t write off trades for preamps, Chorus or compression pedals, or cases for short scales. +£5 postage to mainland UK https://youtube.com/shorts/jxTjulbQicg?si=duFNeNoyczDZiy5Q

    Had this for about 8 years. Light use with a few scuffs. Sat on a board for a while and used as a volume pedal so no longer has the rubber feet. £30 inc. postage or collection from Telford. NOW £25 POSTED Tar! Alex

    So I've made a tool to hold everything safe, secure and flat. It's now adjustable and is designed for 9.25" radius necks. Its easy enough to make it for flatter or rounder necks. I can move and adust the position of everything to keep it balanced. I've made it so it fits a guitar neck as well, so there's two clamps on the drill. This is a broken Squier neck from something. It appears that somebody drilled through the neck and out through the fretboard (wasn't me). Using this as a test to learn from. This is the 5mm drill and the laser guidance. I know the depth is 18mm as I already tested it. First 5mm dowel And all four done The lesson to learn here is don;t make the dowels too short First drills done. Drill, glued and inserted. Now we leave it for 24 hours to dry. I'll probably cut the dowels with a Dremel and then file down the tops by hand (carefully). Rob
