  1. Past hour
  2. I'm sure that's also a factor. But it was harder to find old Fenders in the U.K, and dealing directly with oversees builders was also much more difficult. Transatlantic phone calls in those days cost more a minute than a lap dance does nowadays. Bass players were limited to what retailers wanted to stock. The internet changed everything. When I first went to the USA in the mid-'80's it was a revelation. The guitar shops were chockablock with Fender basses of every vintage. I'd been on the lookout for ages for a nice ',70's Jazz Bass in theU.K. In America I had literally a dozen to choose from locally.They weren't particularly cheap, but they were certainly plentiful. The biggest problem was how to get one back to the U.K.
  3. It seems to work pretty well to me but I’ve never owned wireless headphones before.
  4. Murder By Numbers - The Police
  5. Him, and also various young men from Seattle in need of a good wash.
  6. I've done gigs with one of these and a set of IEMs and to be honest it makes everything so easy for a lazy arrse like me. At that price its a steal.
  7. Someone please buy this before I have to! 😖
  8. Hi. Here you go (from the Gator site)... Length 12.50" Width 19.00" Height 9.00" Cheers!
  9. Thanks, Mokl. I was running two as a vertical stack – best live sound I've ever had!
  10. Just Traded my Overwater with Keir for a Mayones Jabba that I had previously owned. Bass came back to me playing better than when it left & always a pleasure to deal with Keir
  11. IIRC you are not in the UK and therefore unable to bring this to a Bassbash so I can have a go? 😟
  12. Met with Paddy at Carlisle for the umpteenth time this year and traded my Mayones Jazz bass for Paddy's Overwater. Absolutely delighted with the OW and Paddy happy with getting his Jabba back again. Thanks again Paddy!
  13. Ah that would be Pino Palladino!
  14. That's why I called you. Don't tell yourself short. Your posts on speaker design are both fascinating and helpful.
  15. Thanks! I had a problem with one of the toggle switches and tried a blend knob. I liked the blend knob so much, I added one to each. I personally really love the subtle changes I can make between the p’s and the j. I also put in some dimarzios on the blue. The regular pj kit.
  16. Best wishes for you and your family. Don't sweat it. BC is here for you. Let us know when you land and and you've got a few minutes to spare. Visit the DoI if you need some informal distraction of the nuttier kind. It got a lot of us through lockdown.
  17. I watched a recent video about it on bass and I wasn't that impressed with its sounds, but it is small and useable so for gigging it is probably ok
  18. Ive been thinking of getting the BT cord for my IE400's. Might put it on my Christmas list.
  19. Today
  20. Would be great, but as a L6 user since before HD, in my experience we’ll get another update after the Stadium furore has died down. Possibly one after that then they will expect you to move on. The other side of that of course is that technology develops and hardware will have to change. It’s not like we are faxing set lists to each other anymore…
  21. These are my two Japanese 🇯🇵 Fender Mustangs. After trying many US, MX and Squier Mustangs over the years, I always keep coming back to the Japanese models due to their slimmer necks. The one of the left is a Fiesta Red with an upgraded Nordstrand pickup and rocking a set of Rotosound flats. I am still getting used to these flats, they have a lower tension than the LaBella's on my other Mustang. I do like the Nordstrand pup, seems to open the sound a bit more and has a lovely midrange to it. I can do more chordal work on this bass and it seems to love modulation and time-based effects due to the added clarity. The one on the right is my go-to bass for the past several years. Candy Apple Red with an upgraded @KiOgon loom, as the original one was crapping out on me during sessions, a set of LaBella Mustang strings, and a set of roadworn J-Bass controls (large for vol, and small for tone) which I think look way better ☺️ This one is all low-mids, big round notes, pretty decent sustain too. Loves drives and fuzzes due to having a little less top-end. As far as I understand, Japanese Mustangs have an early 60's neck profile and the rest (US, MX, Squier) have a late 60's/70's neck profile. If anyone knows better, please shed some light. But this is something I have come to experience with Mustangs and agreed upon with other Mustang players in the past.
  22. I bought one about six or seven weeks ago from Jon, tho I note now it's showing Out Of Stock for all colour knobs...
  23. We all know what happen when there is a gap
