Yesterday I bought a Squier Jaguar off Ian. Everything went smoothly with great communication throughout. I can recommend Ian as a good man to do business with.

I've know drummers place thier hand underneath to mute the snates. Much like the guitarist who won't shut up at rehursal, I'd love to stand in front of them with a set of wire cutters.

Different processing? Sit differently in the mix with the different instrumentation? It's the same vocal track. Also for a "pop dance" mix you'd expect the vocals to be a bit more prominent in the mix. Matt Pop also did us an instrumental version of his edit mix. We've been considering dropping this version into the set for selected gigs.

L & XL are definitely the sellers in UK, USA, NL and Germany but in Spain and Italy we sell mostly M - I think they are generally smaller in the Med.

I think I have a plan to get EMGs into this bass without making any irreversible mods to the bass. I'll report back if it works later in the week -
Some fresh pictures added. I need to weed my patio.... -
Huge problem. To compare: Andy Partridge wrote just one song about his terrible ex, but XTC felt the need to write a whole album about this ... I already have my coat on ...
-
I probably have it set wrong. I'll ask an expert when I get chance. I have it sounding great when it's on, and when it's off it doesn't rattle, so I figured that was good enough, but yeh, if I want to do a drum solo and switch between on and off it's basically impossible. Thankfully I've not been asked/allowed

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

I’ve been looking at an Acinonyx that’s sitting in Toronto for a good price. Tempted , but I’m holding off. Nordstrand will not be doing any more Korean runs , so if they make any in the future they will be built in the US and 3-4 times the price. I’ve heard great things about them. Nice lightweight short scale. And the closest thing to an FSO I’d have an interest in. -
Odd. I have that same system on one of my Pearl snares, and have not had any issues, once it's strung up and adjusted by turning the knob. Just lucky..? Probably. My Camco snare has a very basic trigger, which could be sensitive to throwing itself 'off' if not correctly tensioned. I don't use my metal Tama snares much, but they are all easy and reliable. But I digress; an e-kit solves this and many other issues..!

Me too.

Sold a Darkglass Harmonic Booster to Lorenzo. Instant payment, good communication and a pleasure to deal with. Hope it gives you hours of harmonically rich, clean preamplification.

How far have you travelled to pick up a Bass?
KevSpurs replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
I can go for the shortest. A squire strat from next door neighbour. It took all of 20 seconds -
I have a pearl throw off on both of my main snares. You have to lift the whole thing up to take up the slack before you can pull the level up to fix it on. You can kind of do it one handed but it's not the easiest thing. If it was ever a problem I'd probably find a better throwoff mechanism and fit that to both, but as it is, for 99% of our gigs, no-one can hear it
-
Most snare drums can be adjusted for snap-on/off tension, assuming they're in good condition to start with. Just sayin'; yours may be exceptions.
-
Haha the bridge is what it is, it's not a deal breaker for me but I definitely get what you mean. I think it's because they're trying to keep it as cheap as possible.

Guilty as charged!!!! Stone him Jonny -
Haha! Thank you, appreciate it! 🙏

£22 for two sets of D'Addario Nickel on Amazon

It's back... same ridiculous ETA as the last time I used this order but they arrived way sooner than that. Anyway, I'm not in a rush, just handy to have some extra spares at a silly price! - Today

Def, in my last band we found that vinyl sold great in Wales and Europe, CDs not so much, whereas in England CDs sold much better than vinyl. And yes, L & XL shirts are the "sellers".

Very good quality audio interface, very light home use. Just much more tech than I can use. Details and spec here: https://www.esi-audio.com/products/u86xt/ Original box, power, cables and paperwork included. £180 collected. Quite a chunky parcel, so postage extra. -
He doesn't half look smug. IIRC, this is the offence of "Appearing so self-satisfied as to outrage the Public Decency". -
I have a few snares where the throwoff is very stiff and takes two hands to get off and on When I was playing quiet folk songs in pubs with limited PA, I would keep my snare off as much as possible in intros etc. Now I play bigger venues with big PAs I leave it on. You can't hear it FOH
-
Option 2 for sure. My amp hardly ever needs updating significantly but our guitarist needs to adjust for each venue, sometimes several times during the set but at least the base volume is about right.
