How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
Stub Mandrel replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Well it was pretty good. Refreshed a few toons for Saturday. -
I asked them about that. They said no at the time. It wasn't until Tanja from MIG got involved that it came through to Rough Trade, via Proper. Mind you don't get annexed in Canada. -
Welcome Steve.

Hi folks, more stuff from the spares draw. These are very lightweight tuners and the one that Low End Lobster has been fitting to his Sire basses as a drop in replacement. This specific item seems to be particularly hard to find anywhere at the moment. It is brand new and unused. £35 inc. P&P to UK mainland Here are a couple of pics and the link to Lobster's YouTube vid on the subject. -

Portable Appliance Test. Hence PAT test is, like PIN number, a misnomer. but everyone says it. Checks electrical equipment that's connected to mains to ensure no-one will get a belt off it ...in theory. The test...Checks the plug earth pin is connected to any exposed metalwork and checks there is no leakage from live or neutral to ground. Venues and health and safety oiks think it makes electrical kit safe to use and that it's lethal otherwise. I have a PAT machine and a roll of stickers and a log book of stuff tested. Easily done, I'm m not convinced it's worth the fuss but easier to do it than convince a health a safety oik that it's a waste of time.

Too long, too boring, enjoy, don’t think I’ll be selling this now
-
Ok, so this is flat out too long and probably a really boring watch but I just got caught up in the sounds I found. The lower gain stuff I could play for hours. I don’t think I’m going to let this go, still got to see how I feel about the DCX but for what this is worth I think it’s just great to have lay around.

Rehearsal this evening. Bass Terror, mid and bass 12 o'clock, treble about 12:30. Gain about 2 o'clock. Great sound despite strings nearing end of life (Fender nickel plated). All songs but one tones full up, neck full volume, about 30% on bridge. One song went neck only. A bit of slap, lots of fingerstyle, a bit of pick. All sounded good, no trouble cutting through.

Well I have one for sale 😇

I fixed it since by adding another layer, the first layer always retracts a bit. I tried two types of UV resins before and they're both terribly, terribly stinky. Let me know which one you use that's hopefully smell-free I also managed to lose my UV flashlight since... 🙄

I am involved with a lot of teak in the marine world, and looking at that grain, I’d say it’s more likely from the mahogany family. Pictures of the end grain would be helpful - in my experience old slow grown teak tends to have a very tight and regular grain pattern with no great variation in the thickness of the individual growth rings.

Folks on here may be aware of the stellar work of NI builder Golden Era Guitars and his previous SC Relics output. I've owned and played this guitar a couple of years, having tried it when a friend owned it and begged him to give me first refusal should he ever come to sell it. It's unfeasibly good but I have another T-type that just edges it (and cost considerably more), plus I've just made my first foray into the dangerous world of Gardiner Houlgate Guitar Auctions, and have something I need to pay for... Here are the specs, courtesy of the included COA: Built in March 2020 Body Custom Paisley with Ocean Turquoise Metallic Burst Curved Neck Pocket Nitro Finish Lightly Aged with Craze Checking Neck One Piece Maple C Profile 9.5" Radius Aged Tint, Nitro Finish Electronics Radioshop ID Pickups 5-10 Overwind on Neck Paper in Oil 0.047 Tone Cap Treble Bleed CTS 250k TVT Pots CRL 3 Way Switch Hardware Gotoh Weight 7lbs 2.5oz The guitar comes with a nice light aluminium-finish hard case. (I'll add a pic of that once the daylight returns.) Looking for £1,300 - no trades thanks. Although I prefer to avoid courier delivery, I am not averse to a little drive out and meet-up, within reason. In fact I'm always happy to meet another Basschatter! I live in Swindon, Wiltshire. The delightful photos below are from my friend's 2023 listing. You can propbably tell that he's a professional photographer. Obviously his Vox amp is not included. I think the only difference is it might have had Schaller strap lock buttons whereas it currently sports a more traditional set. Currently strung with Elixir Optiweb 10s. -

I was fortunate to buy my NXT from a classical player who had this end pin stand as well as the tripod. I can confirm that the NXT works much better on the end pin and does allow you to use arm weight without the bass springing backwards and forwards. The only downside is what to do with the bass when your between sets and whilst I’ve seen some clever clamps that allow you to use the tripod and the end pin stands, they’ve all been from the USA so prohibitively expense (and that was before tariffs).

That's good to know. I've a bunch of wood from an old front door. I'm pretty sure it's mahogany but I was wondering if it might be teak. No particularly noticeable smell when cut.

Played Girdwoods in April. Brilliant pub with a good mix of listeners and dancers. Back playing in December and really looking forward to it.

It is! This bass covers so much for me already I really like it. I had to dial the tone back a bit, as its got a lot of bite! Probably the character of the pickups. I love the P tone so much!

Bump for a pretty bass. GLWTS -
Only bought this a couple of weeks ago from another Basschat member, given it a run out at a couple of rehearsals but just isn’t my kind of sound so I’m listing it back up for what I paid for it. Rat based distortion with bass and treble eq controls, can do the lower gain thing but really shows what it can do at higher gain sounds. Price includes postage in the UK, cheers! -

Find some open mic nights, just the right amount of commitment and usually bass players are rarer than a rare thing

Well, if you're like me, trying very hard to pin down a half decent reasonably priced 5 string with 18+ mm string spacing believe me it's pretty tough going. Every time I see something that looks the part - I'm beaten to it. I'd say fairly priced, most '5's would sell just as well as a '4'.
