And maybe worth mentioning a big plus of the XS-1 is the Drop is a one way street: only down. Word on that same street is that the XS-1 not only up-shifts, but has one of the best octave-ups in the business. Looks like my OC-5 could be heading for the exit, too!

I've wanted one of these since they first appeared so seeing a used one at Guitar Guitar the other day I had to have it. Anyway the bass arrived at tea time and I took it straight to band rehearsal and unsurprisingly it acquitted itself brilliantly. What a bass - tonally its right up my street and the Neve 2EQ sounds terrific - though GG shipped it with a couple of dud batteries so I noodled around on it in passive mode till I could put 2 x9v in there. Love the magnetic battery cover btw! Love the neck too - and the fit and finish is top drawer. Whats not to like?

Yeah had the original tort plate with it, I’ll be putting it back on tomorrow.

My worst was a blues/jazz bar. 110 mile round trip. We played to three friends, two bar staff and a couple of locals for a decent fee. They depended on students and term had ended, and live music was the chain's schtick. Worst bit... they had us booked three weekends in a row, the staff loved us and wanted us back and the deal was worth it. But... they recommended us to the chain's venue local to us. Downside access was awful so after 2 gigs we stopped going there.

Depends on the musicians. Obviously a full room is preferable, but I can play easily to an empty room if the band, the drummer and the set are good. Also, if the only person watching is the promoter then you've got to give 110%, to prove that the empty room is not your fault.

It's the only downside to my AVII.

FaitalPRO 12PR320 12" X 2
JPJ posted a topic in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale
I have a pair of new old stock FaitalPRO 12PR320 12" drivers sitting here doing nowt. This is the driver used in the Basschat 1x12” cab design (Mk1 I believe). I was going to build a 2x12 cab using these but then a lovely Vanderkley 2x12 came up local to me so the project has been shelved. I also have a complete set of good quality plywood panels to construct the 2x12 available to go with them but due to the weight, the plywood will be collection only. So £250 collected, or buyer to pay postage on the drivers. Plywood available as a package deal with the drivers for an additional £50 but collection only.-

Tanita Tikaram at an instore performance at Assai Records Edinburgh on Saturday. I loved her early stuff, went right off her for a while and recently discovered her again.

Very sensible. Most people underestimate how bad they look on a stage wearing shorts. I used to gig with a guitarist who had ultra thin, ultra white and hairless pipe cleaner legs. With his rotund torso he looked like a joke in his shorts. It was beyond embarrassing. I've done many stupid things in my life but gigging in shorts was never one of them.

I absolutely adore mine! I owned a P&C for a long time and this sounds identical. I use it with an OC2 and its synth heaven. Heres it on a board. -

Yea, I think that Daphne Blue / tort is possibly my favourite P bass finish, although sunburst / tort is always a classic as well...

thats blooming lovely that is -
The older I get the more lax I get with reading what is actually there. And proof reading, but will come as no suprise to my followers. Imagine my surprise when I did not hear The Cardigans when I pressed play.

Bought recently but no longer need. Andertons-branded. Free if you can collect from me (normally RH6 postcode but also in TN14, OX11 or M30 reasonably regularly)

I'd go side A - but whichever you choose, that is a lovely looking bit of timber

Imgur have gone and blocked the whole UK so my photos are broken. I'll try to get them hosted elsewhere but you can PM me in the meantime.

You are a man of great taste. I don’t like to see it personally, it just looks wrong to my eyes. I did it once, during covid, for one of those livestream affairs in the middle of summer, never again.

Do you have the screws that should be in the machineheads as per the below photo? -
I'd be very pleased to see my own 71-year old legs again. ... I'm 75. :-|

If they had little points on the tuners they wouldlook different and by echoing the geadstock 'pip' they would brjng some unity to the design.

My brother is a Gibson addict. He has had many and still has a '62 SG Junior and a LP Junior. He also delights in a few Epiphones (he loves his Firebird and Coronet), and prefers his Eastwood LP jr to the Gibson. He also a Swuir Troublemaker. Build quality is great across all of them.
