  1. Past hour
  2. It is, but what I found was that I could flit between the two without fiddling around. A jazz style bass can get close with bass / para mid/treble
  3. That’s defintely achievable on a jazz bass. My references are Sean Hurley/ James Jamerson/ rocco prestia which are a bit tougher to replicate on a Jazz.
  4. If you’re a fan of this circuit you should also check out the Prunes & Custard!
  5. Jeez, that's ridiculous.... Is there no chance of a reconciliation after a cool-down period, Andy?
  6. There's a common link here in your stories...
  7. Maybe, it’s currently fighting for it’s life against the Anagram
  8. Fresh one… After 8 months, the self produced and recorded album is ready. We played a gig on Friday, all good. A well known local producer likes what we’ve played at the gig, offers to mix a track for us. We said, “no the guitarist has done a great job and we’re happy” ”I’ll do it for nowt, see what you think?” Suggestion is put to the band. On Saturday. Guitarist initially says “fine by me” I said I don’t see the point - but we did “spare tracks” why not send that guy one and see what he does with it; it’s free. conversation continues via WhatsApp. Keys player (guitarists wife) then says we’re being really unfair/unreasonable getting someone to remix the album after guitarist has put loads of hours in. I agree with the sentiment, but reiterated that it’s one track - not the album. Anyhow, guitarist says I “deserve a smack” - for effectively agreeing with his wife… and all hell breaks loose. no more band. Brilliant.
  9. I use Google for this kind of thing https://basles.be/transcriptions.php?i=909 👍
  10. Are you able to attend either the SW or SE Bass Bashes? I'm holding back from asking questions or providing solutions without having seen/played the bass. I have a Euro LX 5 that has those pickups and an LHZ-03 and it's perfect. I understand that there were some faulty pickups out there at some point and that there's nothing wrong with the design of the pickups, just some mis-builds.
  11. Short scale bass is like a children’s toy isn’t it? 😂
  12. I found one that's fits the TS100 anyway if you want it sticking in the post although the TS101 does look different, my TS100 has a little hex screw holding the tip in.
  13. Just picked this up, thanks I havent really pushed it to be honest but will give that a try
  14. That really is very nice! Enjoy retirement too.
  15. Impending retirement means that I need to de-clutter, beginning with some of my beloved basses. A Beautiful bass bought from here in 24, with a great sound, which I am just not using much. It is the real deal with gorgeous looks and construction in my honest opinion. Someone out there will love it. It is also loud enough to practice with without an amp IMHO! Happy to post as it comes with a generic hard case that fits archtop basses "The Gretsch G5442BDC Electromatic Hollow Body Short Scale bass guitar has a comfortably short scale at 30.25", and is armed with two powerful "Black Top" Filter'Tron™ bass pickups, giving it an electrifying deep-end voice and identity. The double-cutaway hollow and bound body offers full bass tone and balance, and is finished in Transparent Red." Note: I have been asked about neck dive, just in case you are worried about that this is my answer. "I can't say that it has bothered me,. Being an true hollow body/archtop It is very light and hangs horizontally, but it feels normal to rest my right arm on the body, which pushes the neck upwards to a comfortable, natural playing position. It also feels good sitting down. I imagine that the longer scale Gretsch hollows may have serious neck dive". G5442BDC Spec sheet.pdf

  16. Hello, Very cool little Boss modeller for sale. Sounds great but I'm just not a modelling guy, I'm admitting defeat---I just don't enjoy the process, as good as the results can be. Boxed, also comes with additional Bright Onion switch. £350 delivered please. Would consider trades for bass gear - amps, basses (J flavoured), whatever... In good condition, a few scratches on the bottom as pictured. Album with lots of photos here: https://imgur.com/a/9pniK6g

  17. Hi, anyone got a transcription of Poison Arrow by ÀBC please..
  18. Here is Chris's version for comparison. https://basslessons.be/transcriptions.php?i=1058
  19. This is a lot easier to read than the original and I am pretty sure all the notes are correct. In a strange twist of fate (honestly, I didn't know), ChrisDev posted his transcription of this tune only a couple of days ago. I have noticed a few differences but am happy to stand by mine. Transcribing is not an exact science and we are allowed to hear things differently. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/fainting-in-coils-bruford/
  20. My rule of thumb is John mcvie in the chain
  21. Mine's a TS101, but I expect the screws are identical as the tips are.
  22. I might have a spare, I also have a TS100 so can do a test fit. Should have something that works as I still have a big bag of random screws from when I used to refurb laptops.
  23. "suitable for children’s toys (EN71.3)" I missed this one out as I didn't think it relevant! 🤣
  24. How do you define a P tone? A bit warmer and mid focused than typical jazz?
  25. Today
  26. Hello All, The band for the Manchester gig was, Genevieve Artadi – Vocals Louis Cole – Drums Sam Wilkes – Bass Thom Gill – Guitar Eldar Djangirov – Keys cheers, Mark.
