Another excellent basschatter. Bought a pedal from @jezzaboy. Arrived next day with possibly the best packaging job I've seen. Highly recommended, thanks!

So, Bought this on a well known selling platform a few days ago. It was a warehouse find, and was reasonably priced. Received a call from the seller after order placement to tell me the neck was unserviceable. Just happens that I've a spare Fender 70s neck here, so I gave an offer for everything, thinking I'd fit my own neck. Well, it's arrived in 1/2 hour ago with the original neck. It's fine. Like, it plays lovely. The electrics are pretty crackily, but I'll fit solderless controls / pots that I have lying around. So I really don't know what the craic is with the supposed knackered neck, but I've scored this for a very, very good price. Feeling lucky today, as I've always been after a Fender with block inlays. Cheers

I'm a W11 user so can't really help. But all I had to do was just move the whole folder to one of my sample library drives and then just open the .nki file in Kontakt. There was no installer.

I think they also do delrin and polycarbonate ones, not sure how thick they go!

1st one. Channeling my inner Zal Cleminson at a 6th form college gig (about 1976, I think). 2nd on. Reunited with my ex Pretty Things colleague Dick Taylor (on guitar) at the SoL Party earlier this month. Singer is the ubiquitous (very) Alan Clayson.

Was with a girl of questionable morals who bedded the singer in my band. So I broke the singers nose. I think that was a pretty acrimonious split. I dumped her too. Then shagged her best mate. seemed appropriate at the time.

Singing BVs whilst stomping on pedals is always a risky business. I’ve struggled with that one too… 🙄

Easily, one of the problems I find with most drive/gain demos is it always seems to be drive on full. The Spark with the gain set lower is excellent at that “ touch of hair” on the sound to warm it up and take away the harder sound of the clean notes.

Oldest (don't remember the date; that's our singer playing my drums at the time. It's an outdoor 'on the pavement' 'Fête de la Musique' event in our local town...) ... Latest..? [Shock-Horror] I'm 'playing' a recording for a past Composition Challenge. No, it didn't win, but was fun trying (until I tried to get up..! )... Embarrassed, me..? Nah..!

This does look interesting, and I might just break my nothing outside Logic rule. However given that the developer is calling it a day and the Mac specs says it works on Intel Macs, does it also come with an installer for an Apple Silicon version?

In that case I'd skip a tube pre altogether and invest in a warm compressor: anything from a Cali76 to a Markbass Compressore, crank it and then back it off a smidge to taste.

Did they not get suspicious when you took your bass with you?

You can hang the strap over your right shoulder, but the bass might slide off. If it were me I'd just perch on a bar stool.

I'm guessing once the 'recipe' for the resin is finalised, every neck of a specific type will be an identical weight give or take a few grams?

All our devices connect to the XR18 via an external router. If our devices don't have a good connection to the WWW immediately before we use them on the router's local network, Mixing Station seems to throw a wobbly about the licence - at least sometimes.

Especially when two are stacked like that. Maybe you just hate your crew?

Following on from the various threads about how you started playing and what's keeping you playing I thought I'd see if I could find and the oldest photo of me playing bass. And here it is: There a date, 1978, written on the back which means I'm 17, and you can tell that punk rock hasn't really reached Loughborough yet! The bass isn't mine, but one borrowed from a school friend for the purposes of doing some home recording. I didn't have a bass of my own until 1981. I like to describe this instrument as being made by someone who had once been shown a photo of a Fender P and then had to recreate it from memory using just what was available in the spare parts drawer of the local musical instrument shop. This is also probably the closest I've ever come to playing a "Precision" bass. No idea what song I'm playing other than it is likely be something from our "concept album" on the subject of Nature vs Man vs Nature. Compare and contract with this photo taken last week of me on stage at the Twisted Firestarter gig in Manchester: So what are your oldest and newest bass playing photos. Add them to this thread. Don't be embarrassed!

I think it's rather "why don't give it a try despite the fact they're an artist signature ones." An effing lot of people play TI Jazz flats, but they hardly sound like Pino, neither do they want to (at least, I suppose they don't). In my humble opinion, it's just a very expensive set of strings. They might be good though. P.S.: I assume Pino has never played those on any recording yet, so we actually don't know whether they sound "like Pino"

Fender jazzes or a mix of brands?
