The Fender Fuzz arrived earlier this week and the Plum was built by our very own @BabyBlueSound and arrived this afternoon. It's a Prunes and Custard clone and it's wonderful. Looks and sounds awesome

Food now sorted. I've arranged for a special tea delivery for @ossyrocks from Farrers Tea & Coffee merchants in Kendal, they're sending a local van just for me, and a local dairy farm has helped chip in with milk. The village hall will be open from around 08:00 for people to get in. Will anybody apart from myself (and possibly @neepheid) be coming at that time? The intention is to finish around 16:00 (ish) as I have to be in York later than evening. Rob

Oof lovely! -
Thank you dude, I appreciate the bump. It is awesome, like all ACGs, and it wouldn't be going if I wasn't planning an immediate replacement. -
I think the Quadrophenia bass tone is absolutely beautiful. I'd love to hear an isolated track. There's an awful isolated Real Me on YouTube but it sounds like one of those dodgy ones where the individual tracks have been picked out by computer rather than the actual track, it's extremely poor quality and not what we hear on the album. Mind you, the mix on Quadrophenia is so biased toward the bass (at least on the vinyl) that there isn't that much mystery as to what he sounds like.

Hello PM for The subsonic Thanks -
Hi all, I have decided to part ways with this wonderfully versatile Flyrig V2. I am doing quite of lot of gigs which requires a more vintage sound and the Sansamp / SVT sound, whilst great and I do see it's merits and place, just doesn't work as well in the setting I am currently in. I know I can use it without the Sansamp sound but then what is the point of that!? I may as well just have a DI box... It's immaculate, with original PSU, tin and instructions. Some great instant sounds and being the version 2, you have the effects loop plus extra controls and channel settings on the sansamp. I used it the other night and it performed flawlessly, but it just doesn't suit what I am doing and can't afford to have multiple pedals laying around. The octafilter is a funny one but I found it to be really usable. Definitely worth a look at the tutorial videos online from Tech 21 to see how to get the best from it. £190 to your door, would be happy to look at a straight swap for a Microbass 3, or discuss a deal with something similar but I would like something with an FX loop so I know that limits my options. It isn't a deal breaker but is preferred. -
This is the Japanese active version from 2014, not the recent passive range. -
Second track from the Michel Camilo 'Suntan' album, this is 'Tombo in 7:4'. I did this one for me. It is 10 pages long and took me three days to complete. It's less messy than cutting..... https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/tombo-in-74-michel-camilo/

There's nothing funny about it. It's a fact. The secret of a great bass tone is that on it's own it should be almost unlistenable. Check out any band in the rock fraternity who the bass player is renowned for their tone. It'll be much, much harsher than you think when you inevitably find it on YouTube isolated. When I've recorded bass players in the studio you'd be surprised how many don't know this and even when they want a "clean" tone are surprised when I make it sound like an overdrive tube amp. Even a dirty tone if you want to hear thr top end is way more crazy than most people think. This is why I despise Glyn Johns as he took Entwistle's tone from him for arguably the best material The Who ever did.

Its lovely, id need to sell my EB 4HH though 🤔 -
Yeah. I will take them off before shipping. They come off safely -
Funny isn't it, shit tone isolated = great tone in the mix

Is this a Japanese made one - rather than the description thats appearing on some similar bases on Reverb / Bass Bros etc "ATELIER Z DESIGN is a new series from ATELIER Z, a long-established domestic brand that is supported by a wide range of genres, both professional and amateur. It achieves high cost performance through overseas production, and is a series with reliable quality while being affordable." So presuming its not the "design" version - cant quite make out the headstock finer details - I do like the look of this

You can wipe them with some alcohol before fitting them as you will remove a lot of the remainings of the polishing process, and don't forget that you'll have to readjust the intonation (a lot). And as usual with all strings, bend them at 90° or more before cutting them and fitting them. 😉

Great cabs. I have two and have been happy with them for many years. -

The bass sound on Leeds is great. I also like the way bass sounds in the mix on Quadrophenia, although I think it’s horrible in isolation and was a complete shock when I heard The Real Me with the Ox front and centre and everyone else dropped right back.

Maybe that’s why Live at Leeds stands alone for me……bass and drums sound great on that. 👍

In 2001/2 I went to Sound Control, I had recently decided that all guitarists were crap, and I after 5 or so years playing bass would show them what guitar playing was. I was going to write songs and play guitar and do solos and stuff. I’d seen a guitarist magazine review of this fancy blue Yamaha and it hung on the wall in the shop gleaming. It didn’t work (a SC specialty), it had a loose volume pot and dicky jack socket. I know the DiMarzio pickups sounded great for the seconds they worked. I ended up with a beautiful telecaster 72 custom instead. But it always bothered me; I wanted the blue Yamaha with a bigsby. Anyhow - they’ve cropped up occasionally, but seem to be abused. this one is ok, a few marks - not bad for 23/24 years old. Needs a clean and new strings. But it seems to play well. I shall report back.
