  1. Past hour
  2. Cool and very nice looking room. Daryl
  3. Not too far from where I was made either!! 😅
  4. She has got a 5 but generally just uses her Fender MIM Jazz 4 string. This issue has become more noticeable since they've started playing bigger stages with big subs in the PA. Its not an issue in smaller venues, the bass cuts through nicely there.
  5. Oft..... maybe I should give him a tinkle then? Great recommendation thank you Rob.. 🙂
  6. BTW, all the pots on your amp and bass should be cleaned once in a while. Otherwise dust inside can scratch the resistive track and once you do that replacement is the only option.
  7. Intrigued to know what else you're using the stomp for! 🤔 Sounds like something is plugged in the wrong input? Could you post some photos of your setup to help diagnose?
  8. Baby It's You — Smith
  9. Afternoon I've been working my way through TalkingBass's course on Technique Building. It's really good and is improving my knowledge of scales and the neck notes I'm wondering if there is something similar but for rhythm. These are designed to be played in 16th notes or triplets and that's all good but I would like something complementary
  10. Andy, I had a '73 Jazz bridge pickup rewound by Ash at Oil City Pickups. He has a spool of the exact vintage wire and recreated the pickup as it was originally manufactured, right down to the nitro lacquer afterwards. He turned it round in less than a week and it cost very little to do. Just sayin.... Rob
  11. Well, finally got the bass back after a refret, plays nice.. however.... one part of the pickup needs a rewind, I'm getting zero output and a dodgy earth from it, so off to Kent Armstrong it goes...
  12. Had a few Artec pres in basses, currently have an SE2A on my fretless and an SE3P in my Zoot. They sound very good to me, prefer them to a lot of posher preamps. Centre frequencies are very musical, you'll need to shield the cavity properly as they can be noisy if that isn't done, once it's shielded they're silent however.
  13. I bought this to use as a backup whilst my old amp was being serviced. It’s a superb little unit. Bought new recently and rehearsed and gigged a couple of times since. Works as it ought to and is very powerful. I used it through my 8ohm cab and it was loud and punchy. It’s got some cosmetic surface scratches on the top but nothing terrible. Boxed with mains lead and manual (I think). I can post in the UK. PayPal please.

  14. Fane Sovereign 8” Speaker 225 watts 8 ohms. Excellent driver fitted briefly whilst my Yamaha speaker was being reconed. Great for bass or PA use. Boxed. Postage possible for an extra £5 - UK only.
  15. I bought the amps and cabs as one lot from @la bam of this parish as the basis for building things up - I didn't intentionally go for H & K. They're weighty beasts, but they do sound awesome. And putting the tops on the subs nicely deprives drunken punters of drinks tables 🙂
  16. Thanks. Will try and feed back
  17. Of all the things I don’t need but I really want 🤣 My favourite combo! I think these were about £1600 when new? Weigh about 72lb? I could have sworn mine went to 700w at 2Ohm? Lots of question marks, it’s been a while! Fabulous piece of kit. At £200 you could probably never need another bass rig. GLWTS.
  18. I actually prefer a direct sale, but it always depends. Maybe you can send me your ideas via pm.
  19. And so it shall be written, and so it shall be done... Now it has a kill switch. Right, top work everyone, let's get it back together and have a cup of tea... Only kidding, now I can't put off routing any longer...
  20. I've seen a lot of well attended local gigs the last month or so.
  21. I can lend you a butter knife and you could go at it like Jaco, if you like.
  22. Today
  23. Ha ha! And you're still Happy, Jack!
  24. It’s the age-old ‘what sounds good solo sounds shit in the mix’ and vice versa thing. The groove and timing in the track are extraordinary
  25. Yep - these are fantastic combos and at £200, and absolute bargain as you say @binky_bass. On top of everything else, the twin channels feature is so useful ; at gigs I used one channel to eq my 4sting bass and the other for my 5 string bass. I'm pretty sure I bought mine on here from @crez5150 about 2008/9 and I gigged it extensively across Sussex for a number of years. Happy days indeed! GLWTS 👍😊
  26. The guy who engineered the track reckons quite a bit of work was needed to 'fix' Flea's original track in the final mix. https://www.guitarworld.com/features/why-fleas-bass-track-had-to-be-fixed-in-the-mix-on-alanis-morissettes-hit-record Recollections tend to vary on these things, but he sounds plausible.
