  1. Past hour
  2. walk, don't run - the ventures
  3. Ahh. Its an American product. If you put in a US zipcode the carriage changes to $4.90.🤣
  4. I would guess so, almost entirely UK acts!
  5. Thanks. Yes they are very very good.
  6. Have the PV’64’s in one jazz decided to try out a 70’s wind in my back up. I was so impressed with the PV range these Fender’s were a no brainer. Much more forward in the mids and really cracking for a more rock oriented bass tones. Using the same settings on my gear and sitting here A/B’ing there’s more drive in the mids compared to the ‘64’s. Great clean tones too and the tone control does have an impact on the overall feel in a positive way. Takes a bit of the grunt off! I’m wanting a more balanced tone between my two basses so have decided to swap these out as a mid gig change means having to tweak settings and I’m lazy! If you dig the Geddy, 70’s thing and want a more aggressive mid focused tone these are as good as anything out there. Comes with box and instructions and I used these with a solderless loom so super clean wires and period correct brass type bases which are unused. . Price includes uk postage.
  7. Thats nuts! Where is it coming from?
  8. Re-learning a 2-hour set of Dire Straits songs, on bass for 27th (Camp & Furnace, Liverpool), and on rhythm guitar for 28th (The Barn, Ringwood).
  9. thank you for the info! So, where is best to start, pedalwise..? I can pick up a TCHelicon Harmony Singer pedal for about £80, but will it do anything useful? Would I be better spending twice as much on a Boss VE-2 or something else?
  10. Yeah a bit odd @AndyTravis - particularly as the piezo has its own control, so you can mix in as little or more you like. You can have full magnetic (no piezo) or full piezo (no magnetic) and anything in between. The three EQ controls work on both. So if you preferred, you can ignore the piezo completely (turn it off). The quantity of bass players these days whose experience is that bass guitar controls comprise only a volume and tone control in 2026 is absolutely astonishing - if it was 1971 ok, but you’d have thought we’d learnt a bit more in 45 yrs lol!! Back then there were cars being sold without heaters and rubber mats instead of carpets, let alone any of the other gizmos we’ve come to expect all these years later, but no one in their right mind would accept that in a modern vehicle!!
  11. Suits a certain kind of voice.
  12. These look so much better with chrome fittings than the black fitted ones.
  13. In drop-D mode the tuner looks much the same as yours and is pitch perfect tuning-wise. Do you have a tuning issue with your one?
  14. This news nearly made me spit-take my coffee this morning. I've dealt with Sam a few times on work related things, and can confirm that his online persona is pretty much just him – hyperactive, endlessly interested in everything and insanely quick to grasp extremely complicated ideas.
  15. Nice! Can I ask if the D-tuner / Xtender functions as it should? (see my query thread:
  16. And check out the cameo performance from Eric Clapton (alongside Albert Lee) at around the 30 minute mark of this. I think Chas and Dave were big mates with him
  17. I saw them at the Great British Beer Festival one year. Perfect place to see them 😎 Don't remember any Trace gear though.
  18. Made in Germany to a very high standard, this Warwick Streamer CV features traditional woods, neck profile and aesthetics and offers something different to your average Warwick. It is very light weight at 7.8lbs, features a Gotoh drop-D tuner, brass adjustable nut, luminlay side dots, Bartolini preamp and comes with a nice gig bag. Available to try/collect from Margate or I can post at cost.
  19. Chas Hodges was a session bass player in the 1960s and played with Jerry Lee Lewis and Gene Vincent. He played in 'Heads Hands and Feet' with Albert Lee and almost ended up as the bass player of Deep Purple. You might also enjoy the words of this:
  20. Just got a Nordstrand NJ4SE bridge pickup for my pj Mustang bass, have wired it up to my Mustang bass and connected the white hot wire and the black ground wire (I have had to reverse this and treat black as hot and white as ground in order to be in phase with the p pickup in this bass) however I noticed that the gray wire which is also supposed to be a ground wire when I wire this the same way as the black wire (which is supposed to be ground but I have had to treat it as hot in order for the pickup to be in phase with the p pickup) there is a slight roll of of high frequencies compared to with just the black and white wires connected, is this meant to happen? I am wondering if I should be treating the gray as a ground even though I have had to reverse the wires on the white and black wires in order for the pickup to be in phase with the p pickup, any ideas? Thank you
  21. Walk the dinosaur - Was (not was)
  22. The Ancient (Giants under the Sun) - Yes
  23. Neat little (and very yellow) one knob chorus pedal. Clean sounding and (duh!) easy to dial in the right amount of chorus. Very good condition. Only selling as bought a Master Effects Golden Ratio chorus (vintage Clone Theory based pedal). £70 60 posted. Video of some bloke demo'ing one here
  24. I've had a D800+ as my workhorse amp for a number of years now. They are fantastic, on their own or I put a valve pre-amp on the front end for an extra vintage sound. I find the high pass filter really effective to tackle boom in different venues. The bag thing is annoying, but they are not much to shout about to be honest. Roqsolid would probably make one for c£50 which would be much better, or ask Bass Direct whether they have something in stock that would work. I would hold onto that amp. There are also a lot of lovers of Mesa here and they come up quite often.
