    4 string Enfield Standard Cannon Bass, custom made for late family member. Birds eye maple neck, with a rosewood fingerboard. The body has a walnut top and a Kingwood Back. Bought on the 01/03/08, this is one of the first made in its batch (according to Martin Sims, the bass builder) but barely played - it's been kept in a case and played a few times to test out amps but due to previous owner's poor health he wasn't able to play it, but didn't want to get rid. Condition is excellent. 25 frets, and has an XLR output so bass can played out of 2 outputs at once. The bass has its own customised Super 8 pickups. These are designed to have 3 different pickups in one, hum bucker, split coil and single coil, the LEDs are telling you what mode they are in. Green LED - single coil, red LED - split coil, and blue LED - Hum bucker. Incredibly versatile sounds. These basses are very collectible as they are no longer being made. The body and neck are in excellent condition with no visible scratches. (See photo) - we found a faint crack in the surface of the wood from above and below the pickups - had this checked over with a local luthier, who said that this was most likely due to wood warping over the years, but due to the multi-layered nature of the body, this was nothing to worry about, and would be of no detriment to the instrument itself. Sims said this could be easily covered with a thin superglue then sanded down, and confirmed the material was an extra strong heavy kingswood - this is something I personally do not feel confident doing myself, as the bass is in good condition and I do not want to mess up the cosmetic side with glue marks. So this is purely a small cosmetic point which I am being upfront about. Includes postage in the UK.

    Nobody will make much money from AI music, as you can't copyright AI created content (and spotify only pay $0.003 per stream anyway) but the streaming companies will save from having to pay out to record companies and artists, when they stream AI created music. Hopefully AI music will eventually be tagged as non human, and that means I won't need to listen to it. I suppose artists can incorporate the fact that they are human in the art that accompanies their music (i.e what used to be album covers). So that, if you listen to a track on Spotify, or whatever, and if it doesn't have the word human in the album art, then it's obviously AI generated.

    Thatn genuinely is absolutely superb. Hysterically wrong in so many ways, but superb. No human, however stoned they were, could come up with that!

    Design transferred and traced onto the headstock... Not starting painting tonight though - that was hard work, plus I only have black paint at the moment - need white and dark grey. The plan is to hand paint it with model paints and tiny brushes, flatten it a tad with very fine sandpaper, then lacquer over the top to protect it.

    Ah yes we discussed this a few weeks ago (link below) when I made the following in about five minutes: Dancing With Shadows.mp3 I'm not ever so impressed by the songwriting, it's more the fact that if you have both the lyrics and a rough tune you don't need a studio or musicians anymore to get something recorded. Likewise the singers AI can produce are a lot better than the majority of people I know!

    Yes, it always comes across as a soupy noise live. Or at least it seems to, YMMV. They're really just a cover band live now anyway since their most important member has effectively become a recluse. Too many years of smoking weed and reading conspiracy theory nonsense on the net has fried his brain. Interesting to see Chi Cheng mentioned again, because he always struck me as a functional player who could have been replaced by any jobber at short notice. Could anyone point me to something remarkable he has done or a moment where he really shines? I've been listening to Deftones for over twenty years and I've never been moved by what he played other than to say he played the bass part on the tracks.

    It looks like the kind of heatsink that Gauss used to fit. As it's an American brand, Bill will no doubt have more information.

    It's always a crime scene when I play!
  25. miles'tone
    Well, it's happening and from now on it will always be happening. I foresee a time when, eventually, most humans will step away from the Internet and leave it alone to amuse and lie to itself as it will be of no use to anyone anymore. I should write a sci-fi novella about that at least 🤔

    Two gigs again for me this week. Wednesday as usual at the rock n roll club. Plenty of dancers in, but very hot though - think the club have stopped using the air con till next year! I did ‘ Memphis Tennessee’ in my now regular Chuck Berry spot, and went down well. Always a bit knackered next day after playing mainly fast songs for nearly two hours, fingers / hands in particular a bit achy. Sunday afternoon saw our duo performing at our favourite pub in Beverley, The Sun Inn. With it being a bank holiday weekend it turned out to be almost ridiculously busy, all seats & tables taken and little standing room before we even started playing. We had the usual wide range of requests, ranging from ‘Guantanamera’ and ‘He’ll have to go’ ( Ry Cooder style) to ‘Dead Flowers’ ( Stones ) and even some Coldplay ( following their recent Hull gigs!). I used a Squier Jaguar shortie into my Rumble 500, leaving the PA for vocals and acoustic guitar. Our PA only just coped with things TBH, so we will be needing to address updating it soon I think, especially as whilst packing down the landlord offered us a series of monthly gigs for all of 2026.
