I bought a couple of bridges from David. Very quick delivery, good packaging, good comms. I'd be pleased to deal with him again. Thanks David!
-
The main thing for me is thinner strings further from bridge/thicker nearer the bridge must make for a better balance. I often find that the D (and G should I ever use it) lack depth in comparison to the E & A.

Been turning down charity gigs for years. A con to get musicians to perform for free.

It's cut and boost, but asymmetrical.

9050s. Green silks and the mint green ball end is the give away.

I can never fathom why so many folks set both bass and treble on full on that two band Stingray preamp. It's too much boom and clank for my taste

I suppose one question is what constitutes a charity? I've never been asked to do a gig for a charity as such, but looking back I've been asked to do a couple of gigs where the money went to a supposedly worthy cause. A benefit concert for the Miners Strike of 1984/5 springs to mind, and I played an AIDS benefit gig in the early 1990's. In both cases it didn't cost us to play. Regarding the first instance though, I still remember the arguments between members of the band over it.

Preferably a celluloid one for increased flammability 🙂 That said, it'd be a funny "can I borrow your bass?" bass.

I bought this cabinet along with another cab and an AH300 in November, not expecting to be moving house quite so soon - but it seems we might be moving as soon as March. I'd like to keep it, but if I can sell it that would be one less thing to have to ship overseas. It all works as you'd expect and in good condition cosmetically. It comes with a vinyl cover and is about 37kg. I added the badge recently to match my other cabinet, but it's only fixed with a sticky pad, so if you don't like bling I can remove it and knock a bit off the price. -
This bass should come with a health warning. It is 100% bad ass! it’s an American made limited edition Tony Franklin P Bass with quarter pounder pickups and a hip shot drop tuner. Its tone is unreal. It’s got that baked in natural powerful P-Bass tone. it’s been played hard but professionally maintained. It’s got scars but they add to its character. -

I found a new 'shelf' for my Elf today

Ironically, I've just received the mailer from Rush Backstage for the Grace Under Pressure Super Deluxe set coming out in March.
-
What does a reverse P configuration achieve compared to the standard Fender configuration? Ive got a bass with each type of P pickup but they're so different in terms of preamp and pickup position and bridge setup that I can't tell what reversing them has done.
-
150 comments and most of them irrelevant to the main issue 🙄 Feel a bit sorry for the OP re the 'It's a blu ray not a DVD' crap.
-
Is it the angle or is the body shape wrong? The lower cut seems too high towards the pickups. I appreciate it's a copy of course.
-
I'm a big fan of the Fender Hi-Mass bridge — Currently only £35 from Amazon I have these on (at least) six basses. The Brass saddles seem to keep the notes punchy.

Hi Nik, Many thanks for your message. An InPost locker service would be £1.99 or Royal Mail 2nd class £3.50. David -
The important question is, can you get a tort pick guard to fit?
-
Well, this arrived a few minutes ago: No breakages or anything. To be brutally honest, I'm stunned as to how nice it is. Frets need a bit of a polish, strings are nasty, neck is straight, there's no flaws in the finish...even the machine heads seem to hold. Obviously things need a bit of fettling, but for £200, there's nothing here not to like. In all probability the plan is to swap out the hardware; P94s, 300k pots, strap locks and further down the line machine heads. These are a job for future Paulie.

Does Your Covers Band Change Songs? What Changes and Why?
Sean replied to Sean's topic in General Discussion
One thing I've done as a result of all this is to chart out the songs as the band plays them with notes to explain. One day they might need a dep or a replacement and having this reference material is going to save some bassist a lot of time. It could well be a fellow Basschatter. You're welcome. 😀 -
Hi there @MungoBass, I'm interested in this - what would UK postage be on top please? Many thanks, Nik
