Repair, it doesn’t work. Fill your boots.

They probably make more money off their utube channel than from sales now anyhow, so they don’t care.

Electrik Soup, at The Beehive, Brentford that London Saturday's gig. When we were offered it, we said about possible low attendance due to it being early January but they were up for it, and fortunately there was an audience. We brought a few people and the pub was full, without being packed. We were set up in a corner, but the pub extends around the bar, so we could hear applause from people not in front of us, who we couldn't see. Our 90s and 00s indie classics went down well, even though one of our guitarists was peely-wally. Fortunately adrenaline kicked in and he was glad he made it. The bar staff and Guvnors were all lovely, and we've been offered follow up gigs. Gear: Shuker 3 is at the menders having some DR Neons fitted (Xmas gift) so I used Camille (Shuker 1) -> Getaria wireless -> TC Electronics BH800 (DI out to PA) -> Orange isobaric 2x12. My opinion has changed about the BH800. I previously thought it only sounded good if using the tone prints, but it sounded great FOH on the recording even when I wasn't using FX. Footwear: Blues ASICS trainers.

I've quit facebook so that I spend more time here!

I completely left Facebook a few years ago. I don't miss it. Aside from an occasional life update from a friend I found it very little use for anything music related, aside from maybe brands etc announcing new products. Specialist forums like these, as well as YouTube, are of much greater value to me mainly because of search. If a question pops into my mind I can usually have it answered, or at least some tidbits to point me in a direction, by searching old threads. YouTube obviously can vary, but I've been able to curate content that's genuinely interesting and relevant to my interests. As an example, last night I was watching some of Manton Custom's videos (pretty sure he's a forum member). A goldmine of useful info. Same with Dave's World of Fun Stuff etc. I'm also active on Mastodon. I'd recommend anyone to check out the Fediverse as an alternative to corporate social media. Yes, it's very tech oriented (it helps that I'm interested in Linux 🐧), and you'll find lots politics if you go looking for it, but there's also plenty of artists, photographers, etc. The potential is absolutely there to grow a community, but it requires you to do that actively, as there is no "algorithm" pushing recommendations or sponsored content. [Feel free to say hi if you're on Mastodon: @[email protected]] -

Looking for some help to identify construction / value

I tend to think of used reputable student basses as around the £1k mark generally, but others may correct me on that. -
Hi Mark, Its on the neck vol pot giving series/parallel with that being the main vol control and the tone in the usual place.. -
My non-binding, totally unauthoritative view would be this is like for like (or as close as you can get) so would count as a repair. If, however, the new pickup has additional fancy features like making the bass groove so much that girls notice and want to snog you (isn't that why people change pickups?), then it counts as an upgrade.

Hi mate it was the glossy clear version, I think you can get a small tin for about £20. A bloke on TB used the satin version which looked good, too.

It looks like April according to my accountant before the 24-25 tax year rebates will be in. They will of course pay a whopping 2.75% for keeping your money from you all that time.

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!

The Woody Rumblekat I referred to was my best friend's. I only played it when he first got it and I did a setup with half-round strings. He wasn't a fan of very bright tones. I do know it was nice to play but if you need twangy tones, probably not the best choice. -

I’m visiting in Mexico at the moment , and my Facebook account has been locked up. I tried to log in using airport wifi and they are saying my account might have been hacked. I believe it’s just me trying to get into my account. Nothing has worked , this has been going on for four days now , the “help” bots have been useless. No way to actually talk to a human. Getting totally fed up. -
Great bass tone! Good spot - it's clearer around the 3 minute mark
-
That is a thing of beauty!

@ped do you know which variant of Osmo Oil was used? I'm keen to oil a couple of my necks and have a few tins os Osmo lying around the place 👍

I love the easel for display purposes, utterly brilliant. -
You should really have some type of protection in a 3.5mm stereo jack plug (TRS) to 5.35mm mono jack (TS) I put 100 ohm resistors in as I worry the headphone outs may not like signal being fed back into them. -

Xmas sale: £375 -
Relisting due to financial situation. Not the bass I want to sell most but suffice to say I have enough jazz basses, even if this is jazz software on precision hardware. Made in Korea in the 80s, it's well made and well used. Let me know if you want more pictures. I replaced the pickup covers with cream covers because I like the Tony-Franklin-esque contrast and the originals were in a state. I do not have the thumb rest. Please do not tempt me with trades. ☹️ Quick edit, photos above don't show this wear: -
Not really - but might depend on what you're offering? One thing that springs to mind, is an EHX Mel9 pedal. -
