    Plugging the bass into the output of my pedal board when setting up and wondering why I'm getting no signal, is something I have done more than once 😐 Never happens in rehearsal.

    I have a Hohner chord harmonica with 6 bass notes.

    Wow, what a bargain. Shouldn't take much to fix up and will be on a par with many basses 10 X that cost

    I have done that from time to time. These days I usually use a TC Electronics BAM 200 and it's 50/50 if I'll plug my bass into the headphone socket and wonder why there's no sound.

    I did a 7 day toilet venue tour with a very loud band & on the final date the sound guy had big issues with my signal dipping out. The poor guy was stressing behind-the-desk the-whole-show, but not hearing myself was business as normal. A couple of weeks later I realised I was trying to power my 18V 1A in power brick with a 18V 150mA out adapter… the whole tour… this still haunts me And my farewell gig with the same band I had the genius idea of simplifying a weird stereo setup by using both outputs of the Boss TUx tuner instead… bypass AND output, genius… why didn’t I do that sooner? As I found out after the first song, and as any normal person would expect, everyone can hear you tuning when you use the “bypass” output, I hated myself so much

    And of course there’s the classic rookie error of forgetting that one’s playing a fiver and playing it as if it were a four string. Doesn’t sound wrong as such, just really odd. Er, so I’m told by people who’ve done such a thing. Not me though. I’d never be that stupi…..

    Hey all, Recently got one of these before the prices shot up! Great sounds can be had, would have preferred a higher level of QC but all works so overall okay. Now to see if I can transfer the lines I can play on my basses to this ha ha 😁!

    I dated my nan for a while and always made her dress as Charlize Theron. Just sayin'.

    Not a huge one, but last night put my hand in my pocket to pull out a plectrum as the song started... and found my car keys. Managed to find it in about a bar. Biggest near-cock up was getting overexcited playing a 5 on the last encore and switching in chorus, then a HM2, then an octaver and enjoying some huge low notes. At the end I turned round and my amp head was rocking on the edge of the speaker cab like the bus in the Italian Job.

    Got the t-shirt... TU-3 set a semitone flat. Luckily realised when I got to second string!

    I am massively looking forward to Tap 2. I haven't seen the first one in over 40 years, and for some strange reason the price of the DVD has really gone up.

    We talked about doing it Daryl but decided it wasn't Glam rock. Dave

    Have you had chance to weigh it yet?

    Fine steel wool. Yes, keep it away from pickups...

    Hi folks, Any recommendations for fret polishing kits? I’ve just acquired a Highway One Jazz and the frets are, quite frankly, grim. That bloke Paul from Milehouse Studios (check out his YT channel, highly entertaining) would have a field day with this particular bass… What are you guys using…?

    Saw Spinal Tap 2 is coming out soon and missed this quote previously: Derek, on playing in a Christian rock band: "Same three chords, basically. They just take a slightly different position towards the supreme evil one."
  31. Stub Mandrel started following Epiphone Masterbilt Century semi-acoustic archtop bass with additional magnetic pickup

    I love all the masterbilts.

    Very cool basses. Daryl

    Sunburst on modern basses. It looks fine on instruments designed in the 50s/60s, but not on sleek instruments like Ibanez SRs for instance. Painting a Dingwall in sunburst is like dating Charlize Theron but making her dress in your nan’s clothes.

    A razzle slapper bass ???

    I got it at GAK March 2024 as an early birthday present - I sorted it out through one of the staff there Ryan who I had a few email conversations with about it. My local luthier set it up for me with the new strings and the old ones are included. I assume it was made in late 23 or very early 24 as it’s a newer model and relatively recent addition to the Hofner range. I’ve enclosed pictures of the booklet which has the matching serial number to the inside label - you can even see the name of the craftsman handwritten on the label. Hofner really know how to make something special. I’m sure Hofner would be able to find the exact date for you if needed. If you want pictures of the inside label and serial number and are seriously interested please PM me.
