  1. Past hour
  2. thanks man 🙏
  3. I’ve got a Rusty Box on the way as I couldn’t pass it up. I’m interested in whether people use these as an always on preamp or a drive pedal? in the case of the former, are you going into an effects return or similar? Essentially making that the sound of your amp. If you’re using as a drive pedal, how do you find it? cheers
  4. I'd message them to find out what sort of screw it is and then have a look on eBay.
  5. The Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp - George Harrison
  6. San Quentin - Nickleback
  7. No Scrubs - TLC
  8. Does anyone here has experiences with the Darkglass tone capsule preamp? For the bass I’m building right now I’m gonna use a Lace Aluma bass Barr pickup (at the stingray position) and the Darkglass preamp looks quite interesting to me.
  9. Folsom Prison Blues - Johnny Cash
  10. If it’s mainly reverse delay you’re after, even the more recent Boss delays has reverse. Someone on here is selling a trio of them. The DD7 and DD6 definitely have reverse delay. They’re also handy as basic loopers…
  11. Would you consider selling just the RS212 and the footswitch? Best wishes, Alex
  12. No Problem I’m considered helpful and popular by both of my friends
  13. Is this still available? Bit of a long drive for me, but I'm interested! Best wishes, Alex
  14. TC Electronic Flashback delay has a lot of flexibility. Reasonably cheap second hand.
  15. Thanks so much, @Bagman!
  16. Oooh, that looks nice, shame im skint! GLWTS
  17. Now that the 1000MA's are ready and set in the band this guy is left kind of unemployed.
  18. It's in my genes and I couldn't imagine stopping.
  19. Some crackers there; I came late to the Levellers, by way of New Model Army, and really like playing 15 Years. Mate, your band rocks; heavy, moody and laden with pedals. What's not to like about that?!
  20. Today
  21. I’ve been playing in bands for over 50 years, of which over 30 were to earn a living. It’s so ingrained in my life that I just couldn’t imagine not doing it. I’m 67 and still in reasonably good health, although some days feel like 77! I’m currently in two regular set ups - an acoustic duo with my best mate, and a blues rock trio with other friends. I chose to leave my last pro gig mainly to wanting to be more at home due to Mrs CP having some major health issues. Fortunately she is doing well, and I now do mainly local gigs with no overnight stays. I refer to myself as ‘semi-retired’. My gig money, although not essential, is a welcome addition to our finances, and although I enjoy all the gigs I do it’s still nice to be paid well for them. For me it’s also about the camaraderie ( all my friends are musicians who I often meet up with for coffee / lunch etc) and just getting out there. I’ve been blessed with doing something great for a job rather than slogging away for years in an unhappy work situation, so I never take it for granted. I have no plans to stop playing music live until I’m unable to do so, so fingers crossed!
  22. As someone who doesn't really like crowds, playing in a band is perfect for me... During the day I can go climbing on some crag in the back of beyond, wallowing in the virtual solitude of just me and my partner. And at night me and my bandmates can go out and make a racket somewhere safe in the knowledge that it will be empty. Heaven!
  23. Lovely looking bass. As well as the truss-rod, do these have carbon rods reinforcing the neck?
  24. I've been trying out strings lately on a 'kick'. Cut these and put them on my Precision for 10 mins. They are not for me. Maybe they're for you, though. They feel great but I'm basically a lover of steel roundwounds... as it turns out. I've included the standard blurb below. La Bella Deep Talkin’ Bass Gold White Nylon Tape The Gold White Nylon Tape Wound bass strings are the latest addition to our popular tape wound lineup! Constructed with Golden Alloy (80/20 brass) underlays, these strings are brighter in tone compared to the Copper White Nylon Tape Wounds, and also have dramatically increased attack and sustain. White Nylon Tape Wound on Golden Alloy Underlay Brighter in tone compared to Copper White Nylon Tape strings Standard Tension String Gauges: 750G (.050, .065, .085, .105), 760G (.060, .070, .094, .115) Made in the USA Packaged using MAP Technology (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to prevent tarnishing and ensure freshness All standard bass sets are LONG scale length. The 1st (G), 2nd (D), 3rd (A) strings are 38” from ball-end to silk/taper. The 4th (E) string is 36 ¾” from ball-end to silk/taper. Only the silk portion of the string should be cut or else the string will break. £23 posted in the UK. Pete
  25. Good question. The company of band mates. The working out arrangements with band mates (even through the arguments and frustrations). Standing on stage playing while people in front of you are having a good time from something you've crated. But, I still get a viseral feeling from the weight and power of the bass that I love. Even on headphones, I love the sound of the bass, that slightly out of phase from a Jazz, that 'mwaw' of a filter or crunch of a distortion. The drive of 8's or the harmonic weave of a melodic line. It's why I'm a bass player, not a guitarist or keyboard player. I stopped playing for many years (to work in music) and still have time to make up.
  26. Hey all I've been trying out strings lately on a 'kick'. Cut these and put them on my Jazz for 10 mins. They are not for me. Maybe they're for you, though. They feel great but I'm basically a lover of steel roundwounds... I've included the standard blurb below. La Bella White Nylon Tape Wound bass strings have an incredibly smooth outer wrap of clear nylon to create a warm and deep low end. Compared to our classic Black Nylon Tape Wound bass strings, the White Nylon Tapes are even smoother to the touch and slightly brighter in tone, making them ideal for all genres of music on all types of basses. White Nylon Tape wound strings Bright tone; long sustain Light Tension String Gauges: 750T (.050, .065, .085, .105), 760T (.060, .070, .094, .115) Made in the USA with American Wire Packaged using MAP Technology (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to prevent tarnishing and ensure freshness All standard bass sets are LONG scale length. The 1st (G), 2nd (D), 3rd (A) strings are 38” from ball-end to silk/taper. The 4th (E) string is 36 ¾” from ball-end to silk/taper. Only the silk portion of the string should wrap around the tuning post. Only the silk should be cut or else the string will unravel. £23 posted in the UK. Pete
  27. Thanks, I’ll do some digging, nothing wrong with a bit of comfort!
