  1. Past hour
  2. Rok it to the moon. Stranglers
  3. An active circuit would get rid of a hum induced in the cable, but if the hum is induced in the pickups there is nothing an active circuit can do about it. If I sit by my computers with one of my basses with the nordy singles, I get a hum, but can get rid of it by just tilting the bass at another angle.
  4. Next Glastonbury will be Coldplay playing 12 sets each day on each of the 5 main stages.
  5. Fry me to the moon - Frank Sinatra
  6. I watched GB News once out of curiosity. It was exhausting keeping up with the outrage and depressing listening to them talk about how terrible life in Britain is (and they claim to be patriotic!) And then they got in to talking about how handsome and wonderful their mate Nigel is. They're politically unbiased you know? They said so many times and they wouldn't lie would they?
  7. There's A Guy Works Down the Chip Shop - Kirsty McColl

    DIY Effects

    that’s interesting, for me the aggressive Wavefolding is what I like about that pedal - and my gain pot is pretty good for most of its range, which schematic did you use? Will it do the wah wah thing with a volume pot that Justin medal Johnson showed in the video with pedals and effects? in terms of blend…. The prunes and custard does have a blend already, and a switch to inject extra low end into the signal … what have you built if there’s no blend??! SMD stuff - I cheated and got jlcpcb to do the assembly for me! So much simpler and cost effective. My laziness means ild like to try replacing the film caps with smd parts - but know it’s not quite so simple as that - and when I looked for some values the c0g part cost more than a box film cap would. I will check it out, I’ve been looking at the fdeck one and the broughton one for inspiration so far.
  9. My brother’s friend paid several thousand pounds for two tickets.
  10. The annual clear out of excess basses, pedals etc begins ....

     

     

  11. Last week I released a YouTube video where I analysed Chas Chandler's walking line from an Animals Classic, and used this to show how to walk over one chord and make it sound exciting. I've now made a demo video of me playing the whole of Chas's bass line from 'Bury My Body.' Although the walking bass sections are fast, this is really fun to play and it's got an easy main riff. The walking section is pure Chandler gold! You can also grab a free PDF transcription of the whole bass line by clicking the link in the video description. Enjoy!
  12. Anyone use this patch live?
  13. Two lightly used EMG TBTW pickups, with all originally provided parts, cables, etc. and original packaging. In full working order. These contain both a jazz and a humbucking pickup, with a push-pull knob to switch between the two. The jazz is hum cancelling with a phantom coil when in use. I had these in a 70s jazz spacing, and the switching between different pickup types plus the normal jazz-style volume-volume-tone gives a nice variety of tones. https://www.emgpickups.com/tbtw.html £70 each or £130 for the pair, posted to the uk. Contact me for postage elsewhere.
  14. Perfect for the start of "Blockbuster"
  15. Rewire the 4 ohm 2x15 so it's two 8 ohm 1x15s sharing a box, get a second Elf, and split the signal between them.
  16. Just watching a great vid on YouTube from Ashdown about Geezers set up for tonight.
  17. Get thee behind me 😈. Too risky for my liking (our local guys are actually really good, but there’s a whole bunch of them beforehand).
  18. Sorry one more post: its wearing well worn TI Jazz Flats and plays like .... you know!
  19. A nice example of the above, in very good condition. Headstock shows where I fitted a Hipshot triple retainer which I’ll put back on if wanted. Shown with black/tort/white plates, take your pick. Weight is 8.2lbs. No case or packaging so collect/meet up only.

  20. There was a TV program about her a while ago (probably marking the anniversary of JLP) and she came over really well, very grounded, but still a glint of rebellion. I can see how some won’t like her voice, but I don’t mind it (Rush fan here, so used to challenging vocal tone) and I have a copy of JLP. The lyrics to Ironic are still annoying, but it’s just a song. I saw someone had a banner or T shirt in the crowd that read, “It rained on my wedding day,” and couldn’t help thinking, so what? Rained on mine too, wasn’t ironic, it was September .
  21. Well £15 post will look after that! I pack well and am not exactly short of feedback here, lol!
  22. @RichT I’m surprised you are getting hum from an active bass but perhaps you use it in passive mode? I’ve always found the active circuit does away with the hum but perhaps I have been lucky with my active basses. If you like the sound of the 4J 70s, I would be inclined to try copper tape shielding of the cavities, before lashing out on another set of pickups. I have always found this very effective with jazz type basses. It helps if you run some ground cables between the cavities that are not contiguous, with everything going to the output jack ground.
  23. Great set up. Ran exactly the same rig for a few years pre covid. GLWTS
  24. Supper's Ready - Genesis
  25. Run For Home - Lindisfarne
