    It doesn;t feel balanced, I need 48 hours per day to do what I'd like to do

    At the moment I am moving and Cash and Hope is gone. But to inform others, could you please tell us: - string spacing at the bridge? - scale length? - weight?

    Annoying maybe. Despite that, it sounds like a good life/work balance.

    So started drilling this evening and broke my one and only 6mm metal drill, I had three holes to do and then I could do the M3 hole tapping. Somewhat annoying but two 6mm's on order for tomorrow delivery. That's half a day lost. My issue now is time, I'm in London Tues and Weds, jam session Thursday and I may have family things at the weekend. I'll probably have to put the guitar on hold but I'm worried that any paint finish will not be dry, so suspect I may have to just prime it and bring as-is. Ahhhh! This is annoying, work is definitely getting in the way of play now. Rob

    Good advice to ask what the friend himself thinks. We've all been in situations which weren't ideal, but felt, for various reasons, that we should try to make the best of them. It can be difficult to find a band, any band, to play with. Witness the number of posts on here from people struggling to do so. It's not surprising some decide to stick with what they have, even if it's far from perfect. The OP's pal could well be in that position. No matter how good a singer you are, it's difficult to give of your best when surrounded by duffers. He may be looking for an outside perspective, as I suggested. I don't agree with Hellzero (I rarely do). It's all very well patting yourself on the back for your "brutal honesty", but it frequently achieves little.

    Bring the lot and we'll work it out in Clapham. I think you had a Colt when you came down last time you came down, according to Google thats circa 850 litres of space, the Seat has close to double that plus the top box (if needed). Failing that I'll borrow an Land Rover from someone, though it may take us a bit longer to get there, actually a lot longer now I think about it Hold firm and steadfast. Rob

    Up for sale is this beautiful Meridian Aural II custom 5-string. Price in €: 1595 The bass has some small blemishes as shown in the pictures The two indents you see on the neck in the last picture are on the bottom side of the neck (when playing) and you don't even touch them when you play, so I can't point out enough that all the markings you see in the pictures are just aesthetical and have no impact on the playability, sound and feel of the instrument. The bass feels, sounds and plays as amazing as it looks and the pre-amp upgrade (Customized Gregory Preamp GPB-3M)* opened up the already huge variation of killer tones this bass has to offer even more. The flat and wide profile neck is super easy to play and the neck is stable as can be. All in all a great player, with a tone to die for and I'm very reluctant to let this one go, but some financial setbacks are forcing me to sell some gear... 😥 Body: Ovangkol/Pau Amarelo/Ovangkol Neck: Pau Amarelo with AAAA maple strip Fretboard: Phenolic resin 24 frets 16" radius (This looks, feels and sounds like a thick slab of ebony) Bridge: Babicz Tuners: Gotoh Pickups: neck – Delano JSBC5 (HE/M2), bridge – Bartolini Soapbar (P25CBC-T) (*) Preamp: Upgraded to customized Gregory Preamp (GPB-3M) with volume (Push/Pull active-pasive), pickup selector, passive tone (Push/Pull Bridge Coiltap), Mid, Bass-Treble stack and mid frequency selector 400/600/800 Hz. Due to the preamp changes also pot covers has been changed to metal black. Original Meridian Trinity preamp as well as orginal pot covers are included. When ordering a new Meridian Aural II today, it would cost you between 4000 and 5000 Euros depending on the specifications. The bass comes with the (perfect fit) hardcase shown in the pictures. The bass will be safely packed, double boxxed, with plenty of padding to ensure safe shipping. Pickup and testing is possible in Ghent, Belgium. Interested in partial trades with: - A cheaper 5-string +cash adjustment (no 35" scale please) - FMC 114 EX HP cab - Damnation Audio MBD-2/MBD-3 Greets&Grooves!

    I use a Zoom Q2n to record gigs (4k video and x/y mics). So, no need to say anything, just 'helpfully' record their next gig and present them with an SD card of their performance and they can make up their own minds.

    Gotoh hardware and Klopmann pickups, will certainly be interesting to see where they price this.

    All of this can be done as coaching conversations if needed. It's established performance improvement methodology and was developed to keep people motivated. There are classic examples of alcoholic repeat offenders who were either given negative feedback and punishment (a night in the cells) versus coaching conversations to get them to reflect on their own performance. The results are something like 5% non-offender rate with punishment and negative feedback, 40% non-offender rate with tailored coaching. Because it turns it round and makes them responsible and puts them in control of what's next. They don't go defensive because they're being attacked, they get constructive because their being supported but in a challenging way.

    If anyone has either a fender telepath or XVive A58 wireless that I can test to see if it is noise free I would be pretty interested!

    There's more space in the car now as I'm only bringing the one bass and amp and my lad has had to decline.

    It gives me great pleasure to announce Mrs. Scrumpy's 2025 Bash menu folks!! Mrs Scrumpys menu Oct 25.docx

    Can do, it depends on the amps but most people are sensible. ( it's not a guitar show) At the last Midlands Bash we had a "No amps during lunch or the talks" rule which worked really well. A few folks brought headphone amps, so they got shared around a bit if I remember correctly.

    Say you were washing your hair and it couldn't have been you at the gig. Maybe you have a doppelganger. Alternatively, talk to the singer and ask if you could still be friends if you were critical of the band. What you do then depends on the answer.
  28. scrumpymike
    Neepheid my friend, I think you're suffering from a bout of what's known in medical circles as 'bass-bash angst'. Luckily this condition only flares up once a year and there's a simple cure: apple crumble administered by mouth.

    Something simple today (I have been working on a track that was taking forever and wasn't really worth it so I abandoned it). This is the tune 'Don't Forget (Nostalgia' from the 1980 Jon Anderson album, 'Song Of Seven' and features the wonderful John Giblin. I always thought Anderson WAS Yes and that, without him, it was only ever OK. I think his solo albums prove that. The part is simple and an easy read so a bit of light relief after a heavy weekend. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/dont-forget-nostalgia-jon-anderson/

    Calling @benh, @Silky999, @Jabba_the_gut in the U.K. or others like @Andyjr1515, if he accepts it. Or @RonC and @Basvarken in The Netherlands.

  34. Hellzero started following Is it possible to change the pitch on a set neck?
  35. Hellzero
    I guess you're talking about the tilting of the neck, which is impossible to correct on a set neck without ungluing it, correcting the tilting and then gluing it back, so a lot of work. And with a neck through it is close to a nightmare... The only thing you can do is lower the saddles or recess the bridge for lower action.
