Travis Tritt - It's A Great Day To Be Alive

Mk1 Barts are a Reverse P Mars Bar. SR500 with em passive, Vol & 3-Way Switch

Pics or it didn’t happen😀

Cellists and Double Bass players read Bass Clef, Tenor Clef and Treble Clef. So, maybe the T-shirt is for those who play at the dusty end? As for the three string bass with five tuners... Damn those creative artists!

In short, as it was a private transaction, you have no warranty or recourse to the manufacturer or the seller. As has been suggested you could attempt to reach out to the manufacturer and ask for a goodwill gesture of maybe swapping you correct pups for the ones you have installed or possibly to sell you correct pups at a discount. However, they are under no obligation to do so, hence my approach (were I you) would be very cautious and conciliatory rather than demanding/accusatory.

Good fun last night in Nottingham at the Tap and tumbler. Wasn't sure how we'd go down but seemed to be really well received. I had a bit of a wardrobe malfunction....accidentally wore a random black shirt somehow....I won't go onto detail. Anyway, sound was great and and a good night all round....

When I was doing the Eddie Roxy stuff, there was a degree of urgency in getting everything together reasonably quickly; obviously I knew Is Vic There? but for the rest of the material it was a case of tabbing off songs that were still evolving or had changed significantly from the original format. At some point you just have to decide to leave the crib sheets at home.

Bought a set of machine heads off of Brian in a nice deal. Highly recommended seller! Cheers, Brian

Exactly this^ I'd like some... Red SR300 with Maida Vale Stacks got Red Foam And the SR400 with DiMarzio Twin Coils

Anyone got an eye for a bargain?

I can’t seem to log in to my account. my account is FloydElgar if @pedcould help! Hi all, I’m reaching out to ask for your support in saving a vital part of the UK’s musical and craft heritage. The Newark School of Musical Instrument Crafts—the UK’s last dedicated school for violin, guitar, piano, and woodwind making—is now at serious risk. From September 2025, no new students will be accepted onto its degree courses. Please help us protect this tradition by signing and sharing the petition below: https://www.change.org/SupportNewarkSchoolofInstrumentMaking More info here from The Strad: https://www.thestrad.com/news/petition-launched-to-protest-newark-violin-making-school-changes/19644.article https://www.thestrad.com/news/no-degree-course-for-newark-school-of-violin-making-students-beginning-in-2025/19643.article Please unite and protect the future of hands-on instrument making in the UK. Your support could make all the difference. Thank you for taking the time, Floyd Elgar

...why do I get the sense I can guess the maker......?

Best of luck with that, I’m doing the same and my small board of just the essentials is like 10 pedal currently 😅

First word back in the amp is that the power section seems stable. The big blue caps are in good shape, so far so good. My tech guy had to clean up the fan, it was lousy with hardened crud- but once he got it free up it was working just fine. The preamp is next... And the sleeve is looking ok. I'm bringing it to the big panel saw to do a cut-back on the front panel section- like you see in a lot of these sleeves- so you can see the uv lit front panel from above. Then I'll rattle-can it with some black forest green and finish it up with some old hardware I've got in a box, somewhere around here...

Ouch, 4-string PUPs on a 5-string bass, that's a pretty amateur design feature. Personally I would just get it sorted, if it was a private deal it's a case of do your due diligence or accept the risk so you can't really go back to the seller now, and if the manufacturer/builder was that inept in the first place I'm not sure I'd want the bass going back to them for a fix. Assuming the PUP cavity will take the correct size 5-string PUP's I'd suck up the cost and replace it/them. At least you can sell the originally installed 4-string PUPs. Good luck

Learning the Bassline to this one and while going through different recordings I came across this, backed by the Gladiators

Have you fed that back to the bass manufacturer, that you’ve been advised by the PU manufacturer that the part isn’t suitable?! Assuming it isn’t a tiny or brand new operation, and that this PU is a standard option, this must have come up for someone else previously, or in their own testing. How did they land on this particular PU? Must have been some testing. I would start a conversation about it with them, if you’ve not yet done so.

Can't be ar$ed to make up some new words. Still highly recommended. 🙂
