  1. Past hour
  2. Yes - when playing in my bedroom, the strap came off my Les Paul copy guitar and it hit the kickstart of a bike engine that was also in my bedroom, putting a big dent in it. Then in 1988 I bought a Warwick with Schaller straplocks, and every instrument that can be fitted with them since then has been. At last night's open mic, the strap came off the guitar of the guy who was doing house band duty with me for the final number. It was a straplock failure, a Fender one that had come unscrewed from the strap. Fortunately he had hold of it and was able to sit on his amp to finish the song.
  3. I was intending to add a vocal to my track, however on re-reading the lyrics I decided it was better left as an instrumental. Drums, percussion, electric piano, & twinkly sound are from Logic Pro as are all amps and FX, B3 is my Yamaha Reface YC, Bass is my Ric 4003 recorded onto two tracks via the ric-o-sound output.
  4. Just a bought a pedal from Jim. A great guy with top comms and, after browsing this thread, an obvious pedal fetish 😂 As if you didn’t know already, you can have absolute confidence in any dealings with Jim 👌🏻
  5. Lee Ritenour at Band on the Wall - proper jazz-fusion royalty and no mistake. Munir Hossn playing some sort of singlecut six-string behemoth which I could not identify, and neither will you be able to from my terrible picture. Supported by Rosie Frater Taylor who rose to the challenge of holding the interest of a room full of (mostly) blokes who were there for Lee Ritenour with a solo set pretty well, I thought. Bonus artistic photo effect courtesy of my iPhone’s mind of its own.
  6. I probably answered this already, but mine are First Bass: 'yamato' Jazz bass copy (£75 from Soho Soundhouse in 1979) Go to bass: Fender JMJ Mustang bass (I liked my first one so much I bought another two of 'em) 'Your' bass: At the moment my 2024 Rickenbacker 4003 — I've been having a lot of fun recording using the ric-o-sound output to put each pickup on a separate track.
  7. Today
  8. Been here, life's too short. Filter it down to what you enjoy and keep doing that. For me, it's writing and recording, love it, all the joy of new music with none of the baggage of being stuck in bands with people who need to sort their f***ing lives out.
  9. It's been a big week or so for pedals here. Damnation Audio's Big to be more precise. Made in conjunction with Pet Symmetry, it's modelled after the Sanford & Sonny Bluebeard (a brilliant fuzz) and a boost pedal. Like everything of Damnation Audio's I've tried (MBD2, MBD3, Dirtfixer, Spite Box) it works rather well and actually makes me excited to play with a pick. Big-foot-esque blurry photo below.
  10. hi I am interested in this Where are you based? I am in East Ham E12 I could come along this week for view Best Claudio 07940052175
  11. For sale, my mint condition X32 Producer. Just under 2 years old and bought by me from Andertons, it's been flight cased from new. I used it at home to learn digital desks and then did a few rehearsals plus about 10 gigs before I upgraded to a bigger desk. I've kept it as a backup, but am now looking to upgrade my main desk again, and therefore this is surplus to requirements. All faders, encoders and buttons, ins and outs working perfectly. Will be restored to factory settings before it goes, and am more than happy to spend some time with the buyer to show them how it all works if needed. It's a great first desk if upgrading from analogue and a nice compact size for gigging, but also ideal for a home studio setup, or for an IEM rig. It can be rack mounted and the rack ears will be included. All the specs are available on the Behringer website, but this has 16 local ins, 8 outs plus 8 aux ins/outs. Can be expanded to 32in/16 outs with a behringer stage box (S16 or SD16) and you can record multitracks to a DAW via the 32 channel interface. Priced to sell at £750, which is a good saving on new with the flight case which was £200 on its own. Collection from Chelmsford, or will drive a reasonable distance for a meet up. Payment via cash or BACS. Please DM me if you have any questions.
  12. Seems like the page on the GK website now says shipping in October! Boo hiss!
  13. I swear by Grolsch-type rubber washers and the various versions made in other colours by Fender, Ernie Ball etc.
  14. Definitely interested, definitely broke at the moment due to my car needing some exxy repairs right now. My friend has a 5 axis CNC on the way and we've been sketching some body ideas over the weekend. I also saw some headless 5 necks. Perhaps some of the children may need to be sold off for medical experimentation...
  15. The wenge/maple NT, rather than the maple/walnut veneer laminate version the two years before. Probably won't make any difference tonally or structurally, but it sure looks sexy and would look good next to my Cort A5 Ultra Ash and if I'm gonna have to import one, I might as well wait for the one I want. For the same reason, I'd like a BTB1826/1906 too. I have a BTB846v that's waiting to become a large Bass VI, strung E-E, just need to custom order the strings, and because it has 16.5mm spacing, the neck feels very similar to the SRs. The other BTB 6 and 7 I mentioned are from a local who's looking to move them along, and being in the middle of nowhere, they're hard to sell - also because of the string counts. I have some expensive car repairs to fund in the short term, but he's in no hurry.
  16. Thanks Binkers old chap. Think I’ve got a home for it now. Cheers John
  17. I bought my first set of Dunlop strap locks in the late 80's. I'm still using the same set on my main bass.
  18. Oh, crikey! There was me with a plan to stick a lovely fretless neck (recently acquired from someone who may or may not be on this thread) into my old Jazz body and then this comes up......gulp!
  19. GOT ONE!! You get a lot of bass for not a lot of pennies... Remember that Leo said that these were some of the best basses he'd ever built...he knew what he was doing...who are we to argue!!?? GLWTS
  20. I like baritone sax, and tenor when it's played well. The higher-pitched ones hurt my brain!
  21. Soprano OK then?
  22. Can't fault his enthusiasm though.
  23. Stick it on eBay for collection only at £1 no reserve and set the auction to run for 7 days ending on Sunday at 7pm. Add 10 good solid pictures and a non-AI description and it will sell. I'd estimate £150-£180. Happy to set the auction up if you send me some pictures, can run it as benefitting charity etc.
  24. Looks more like 60's pup.configuration +
