  1. Past hour
  2. And a lovely Jaydee!! 😀
  3. Oh my…weird few months. As my old band Fiasco Jam was causing me issues - detailed elsewhere… I agreed to help a mates band out - they’re well known in Manchester and have a really decent following… They’ve been on hiatus for a while and their old bass player moved back home to Italy so they were stuck. I wanted an “out” from FJ so I wrote 4 songs for them and agreed to join. Fiasco Jam folded and the singer and Drummer asked me to carry on. ”this is great, I can do both” I thought… Things have changed - work gave me a promotion, which is good…but is chewing time. The build is ongoing and costing…and stressful. My dad’s been in hospital, mum not doing great… mother in law seems to be in rapid decline. I have just “quit” the new band - no big show, but I’ve prioritised myself; I’ve spent a day learning their setlist for a gig next month. reassuringly 3 of the tunes I wrote are on the list - but I must say the old stuff isn’t really my cup of tea. I’ve sent the message, the rehearsal will be awkward tomorrow but they’ve got 5 weeks if they’re not ok with me helping out to find someone else. That’s fine by me if they do. I’ve offered to transcribe and video any lines I’ve done to help and record the EP for them if they want me to. But I think I feel reassured that it’s the right shout.
  4. Really good basses - GLWTS
  5. These are highly underrated basses for their price range (or even higher). I really like mine 👍😁
  6. This is already a bargain - I paid £165 for mine second-hand and was glad to find one at that price.
  7. I only wish I was as wise and mature to write something as kind and diplomatic as that. 👏👏
  8. That’s a workaround, not a solution.
  9. A Precision with flats is always a good thing 👍
  10. The TI jazz rounds or the TI infeld rounds?
  11. A recent acquisition/bitsa that while I'd love to keep for those odd Jazz Bass moments and for a specific project that we're running mid-2026. I'm selling because both @silverfoxnik and @Hellzero have been very naughty and listed items of bass gear that I used to own that at this point in time I need back more than a Jazz Bass. Body/PUPs/circuit etc Fender MIJ, neck Allparts MIJ with Fender vintage 70's tuners. Have a rather rubbish hard case that won;t get the bass to gigs but will get it safely to you, so courier and option. These pics are poor quality is it's dark now, but I'll take some better more detailed pics in the morning. How does it sound? Like a Jazz with flats, nice (I've some rounds I can put on if flats ain't your thing). How much does it weight? I'll check scales in the morning but it's certainly not at the heavy end. Price includes UK delivery. If my Ashdown Drophead happens to sell first, I'll be keeping this beauty 👍
  12. Mines nearly done , mostly 1 take stuff , but the vocal has taken a few goes. But you won’t notice given the honey smooth lyrical delivery that I attained on the 82nd one. hell yeah 😂
  13. Is there a Big Stan album devoted to the DB? If not, which album has the most DB on it?
  14. I don't know who originally made it but I've had it a couple of years and added a Thunderbird neck. It's had a Rickenbacker 5 string pickup, so will need re-routing for another shape. Has a KiOgan wiring loom and the cavities have copper conductive tape. Paint job - not good - Halfords finest put on too quickly and not sanded down. Top is finished with a vinyl wrap (which doesn't hide the paint inconsistencies underneath). Great if you want that 'Rat' look.

  15. Today
  16. Yamaha RBX5 A2. I love lightweight basses, and I thought the light up knobs would look the part in my live electronica band… but it just sounded really lacking in both lows and mids and I could never get it to sit right in the mix, not matter I did with amp EQ. Add to that a few rough fret edges and the plastic-like coating get a bit sticky when the sweat and beer started flowing… overall, it wasn’t good. Bonus mention to the Warwick Rockbass Vampyre. I didn’t buy it, but I did win it in a competition… played it twice and had to sell it. It felt bloody horrid to hold, and even worse when you tried to sit down with it.
  17. Those TI rounds are a treat to play!
