  1. Past hour
  2. I think - although not my idea - that a good sideman is far more important than a flashy soloist. It may even be so that a flashy soloist can be a lame sideman. Such a player may not be the best bandmate.
  3. Very nice indeed. And it's got a hard case. Do you still have the original pickups?
  4. Wilkinson WJB750, and no, not a straight swap - had to fill and redrill the screwholes.
  5. From my experience as a music lecturer. It’s the events this weekend in Birmingham that most young musicians will be watching. Oasis don't seem to figure highly in my students’ musical influences.
  6. I loved mine. Got nicked from a gig one night 😒. Lightweight with great top end.
  7. Nothing to do with accuracy, you don't know which one of us has the better ears. What if I don't want singing, I don't want punch and I don't want a bottom end? I'm not arguing about whether basses sound different, I'm arguing whether one bass sounds objectively better than another.
  8. It has one of the best B strings I’ve played this bass, it’s an absolute beast - as all Anacondas are, but I’ve played this one and the B rings like a bell 🔔 Really great sounding bass
  9. One small mercy. At least there's no talk of a new album.
  10. Hi all, A recent hip replacement has gifted me something special: clarity and a frightening amount of spare time to play with my gear and even more hours to realise I don't need most of it. So here’s your chance to grab some gear that’s been gently neglected but lovingly appreciated. Recorded delivery within the UK is included in the price. If you’d prefer an alternative postage option or want a few more bells and whistles, feel free to get in touch to discuss. Unless otherwise stated, all items come with their original box and power supply Descriptions include links to the manufacturers’ websites. Go ahead, fall down the rabbit hole of overly poetic knob explanations. (‘Warm yet assertive?’ What does that mean?)” Mesa Subway® D-800™ Preamp - (No Power Supply). £150 Eventide ModFactor - All the standards - Chorus, Flanger, Phaser as well as Rotary, Tremolo, and Vibrato. (No box) £150 Eventide Blackhole - Pretty good reverb pedal. £140 XPND PEDALBOARDS Expanding Single Row - (No box or power supply) - £55 Ernie Ball Volt Power Supply - £80 RockBoard TRES 3.3, Pedalboard with Gig Bag - includes 2 sliding drawers (No box or power supply) - £90 IK Multimedia AXE I/O Solo Recording Interface - (No box, power supply or IK Multimedia Free Software) - £60 I can post in the UK only. EU shipping, however, involves a soul-crushing bureaucracy designed by someone who clearly hates bass players. So… no. Happy to answer any questions, though be warned, I’ve spent more time looking at these pedals than actually using them. They’ve basically lived a sparse life under soft lighting. No trades thanks, Regards, Neil.
  11. Tom's just bought my Fender Roadworn Flea Bass and the whole process has been a pleasure from start to finish. Great comms, prompt payment and lots of enthusiasm all round. Thanks, Tom! A highly-recommended BCer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
  12. These are new pickup and bridge covers that I bought and never used. Various prices. The price advertised is just for a bridge cover. I don't know how to add the pics into the text. As said the P bass pickup covers are £12 each posted. The Fender Jazz bridge cover is £22 posted. P bass bridge covers are £ 12 each posted. The longer bridge covers I'm not sure about so £13 posted? I've had these awhile so they are not the cheap stuff you see advertised.
  13. The OP hasn't been back since the day he joined up so I guess nothing we say is of interest to him. Sad that!
  14. I suspect the band will be middle aged men grifting off the chance for a very comfortable retirement FTFY
  15. How come the Doors get two hours then?
  16. Had some finger joint problems a few years back and found a simple change of technique helped a lot.
  17. I have a modest TonePump "Mountain" of surplus post-Tonepumpectomy Tonepumps looking for the right TonePump procurer if anyone would like to cross my palm with a modest amount of silver. We have Mk1 and Mk2 options and they come with the pots pre-attached. I can even fit one if mildly cajoled and modestly bribed.
  18. FTFY
  19. It's absolutely brilliant in terms of creative walking bass. Veal is massively underrated because he is not noted as a flashy soloist but he is, for me, one of the greatest Jazz players of his era. Solid as a rock and drenched in the Blues.
  20. In The Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus) — Zager & Evans
  21. Picked this cracker up on here a few months back, played it for a week long run of Sister Act the musical in the theatre, sounded amazing! But I’ve grabbed the Ken Smith Burner that BassBros had listed so this has to go. £850 posted in the UK 🙌 Ultra J Essence Bass is one of the most popular brands at the moment, having won an award from the prestigious Bass Media (Bass Guitar Magazine).

  22. I wonder if "Drum Off" was supposed to be an instruction to FOH when Metallica start up?
  23. That'll be me then.
  24. I hope Halestorm make the most of their one minute! It's more than they deserve.
  25. ... and you've still not sorted out your keyboard..? ...
