All Activity

I just had these arrive and I’m very pleased how they feel and sound Warm full and punchy is how I would describe them and the little dish recess where your thumb sits ( feels odd at first ) seems to add to the tone as does the Delrin material

That reminds me, I need another 2x10

Ooh, you lucky devil!

It’s certainly a lot of bang for buck!

Aw thanks @lurksalot - good to know it wasn’t my Mum’s vote 😊

The headstock will be doing a lot of heavy lifting in the distraction game. Private joke sounds good - this certainly hasn't been a "piece of cake", lol

Apocalypse in 9/8 - Genesis

Nate Smith:

Yes. The whole awards thing is a joke.

Happy 1st of meteorological Autumn A very tight call for August , 1 vote splitting the pack, and with what looked like me giving that vote, congrats to @Chiliwailer, now on a double, seeking the elusive hat-trick I guess, Anyway, back to the business in hand , with the chosen image for your delight and delectation, he explains... "Autumn is coming in with it's stunning sunsets, so given that my photo-choosing creative mojo has dropped under the horizon here's a nice pic that even has some Northern Lights, sea, stars, rocks, and a pensive dude for your muse..." ✅ Entries must be <5 minutes and recorded between now and the deadline. ❌ No illegal samples, copyright infringements or other snide goings-on ❌ No Bagpipes, Please, I think they would suffer from the magnetic radiation and sound a bit off. ❌ No voting for your own entry. We'll know. And we'll shame you.. Deadline-wise, we will go for Midnight on the 24th September ... Which in reality, means teatime on the 25th. A line or two of blurb as usual for the vote thread will be super duper smashing lovely. Good luck, Have fun must dash , Victoria Coren Mitchell is holding a pose for me in the kitchen .

Thanks for all replies, I’ve dug out a couple of local businesses that do amp repairs so a few phone calls tomorrow I think. And thanks ajkula66 I’ll take your advice and see what happens with the app and then get in touch with the music locker. Have a good evening. Ta

Lol... I've seriously considered taking a battered Squire, relicing it, spraying it Sherwood Green and relicing it again! Unfortunately the bass I fancy is an Adsm Clayton signature...

How about deliberately not matching the wood? Cut the piece to a triangle like a piece of cake, and paint it in the same high gloss black of the headstock. If you were to take the patch through to the front the black insert would tie in nicely, keep it invisible from the front then it's a private joke for you.

I went down a “hypothetical” rabbit hole a few years back… There’s a UK Blues Federation ( link https://www.ukblues.org/ ) which seem to look after their own & I’ve noticed a huge crossover with acts on their awards & festival lineups If you do a bit of digging into this, you’ll find a few streaming/radio shows & venues If you get your faces known in a few such places, I’m sure the rest will come much easier

The originals were Squiers, only the reissues are Fender Japan. My Brother had a Katana six-string.

I nominate @Lozz196 as chief tester

The SEO Pistols

Another fascintating video into the world of an in-demand show bassist at the top level. Ian King covers his gear, preamps, settings, mics for his double bass and a discussion with the show's audio designer. It's not that Overwater bass though, he's got a cool grey one, maybe with a maple neck (?), with black metalwork. The tone he has is fantastic and his playing sublime.

Here's how it could've sounded... https://www.instagram.com/share/reel/BAf_Sc1ELn

….or maybe Troy (TJH3113 on YT). I think he’s a fan. I thought he was a member here, but I can’t seem to find him.

Have you tried it in a different electrical socket ? Mains hum perhaps ? Presumably it makes that noise with no input ?
