    Fun service last night, and auspicious in a number of ways… it was our new vicar, Lydia’s, first weekend at the church… I got to run out the brand new Sandberg California TT SuperLight and my wife was singing in the worship team (for the first time in about 15 years). The set list was fun - and heavily biased towards some great “oldies” (with a couple of twists)… At Start Jesus Hope of the Nations (G) There is a Redeemer (D) Response Song Our God Saves (C) Communion Man of Sorrows (C) I Stand in Awe (C) - Martin Layzell At End Lord I Lift Your Name on High (G). (In the style of The Joker by the Steve Miller band) Lord Reign in Me (A). (In the style of You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon) The last two were particularly fun to play and seemed to go down a storm - despite a small bass brain fade at the start of Lord I Lift Your Name On High… ooops, my bad. The Sandberg was great to play. These basses feel so good and at just over 6lbs, it was light as a feather - such a contrast to my 10 pounders! The sound was great - quality active/passive Jazz bass tones straight into the DI. Springy in all the right places but with a good dose of bass too. The 50/50 blend sounds great too, very smooth. The blackburst looks lovely too! I can tell I’m going to love playing this bass. My wife, Thea, has been talking about getting back into worship for a while but was quite worried about it, not having sung in public for a decade and a half (since our lad arrived). The worship pastor suggested that she come along and join in rehearsal and see how she felt - of course she’d not heard Thea sing before either so didn’t know whether her voice was good enough or if she’d be too nervous. At the end of the rehearsal she said, “That was lovely, you sounded great! You should just sing in the team this evening!” which was perfect as it gave Thea no time to get nervous or stress about it. All in all, a great service!!! Here’s the live stream…

    Presumably these homemade MIDI shenanigans arrived?

    Hi! I'm Nicolas! Bassist from Normandy, France. I was following this forum for years without account. Always some new things to learn here ! I play bass since 2009, autodidact (thanks google/youtube/slappyto...). I've played in lots of little local bands, most of them for compositions. My actual active band is Green Moss, melting pot of Hard-Rock / Pop / Punk... Our 2nd EP, Ashes, is out since 13/02/2026. Linktree here : https://linktr.ee/greenmoss_music Happy to discuss with you :D. Nico ps : Sorry for "bad-english" writing, I'm not very good, I am learning

    If they did that four tmes it would be off the end of the body...

    Do you know if the Warmoth pickguards will fit a Squier P (without drilling new holes)? Their website says “fits Warmoth bodies only”.

    There's someone in WANTED ITEMS looking for an OC2 👍

    It was all about the bridge position for me, it’s too far forward making it feel almost like a long scale!

    I'd struggle to get past the chorus...

    I love my USA Fallout, and the surf green Tribute I had before that. My only minor gripe is the bridge position. If they’d slid that back an inch or 2…. If G&L could have made a short scale more like the L1000/2000 body shape, I think that would have been perfect. And I love the pickups. I’d actually ordered a pair from G&L just before they shut down. Took a while to get the money back! Anyone know anything similar??
  20. Boodang started following Which Octaver Pedal???
  21. Boodang
    The new mxr bass synth pedal has a sledgehammer preset on it. It's probably the only preset on the pedal that you don't have to be precise with your playing.

    I've been looking into different overdrive pedals and it is a bit of a minefield. I did originally have a Fender Bassman Driver pedal which was ok but I found it to be quite fussy, difficult to get a subtle tone and to be consistent. I like the look of the EHX Bass Soul Food but I'm liking the look of the Ampeg Bass Scrambler a bit more. Top of my list would be a Way Huge Small Pork and Pickle but for my needs which is just some subtle drive, its a little expensive and wasted on me, so I think its a bit overkill.

    I'd agree with the above if it was a new or recent neck, this neck is 45 years old, and might not have been under tension for some time. At the very least, I'd get it strung up, leave it for a while, and check there are no issues before I store it

    Thanks you all for the suggestions, Most likely it will be the end of the fretboard. I'm not fond of placement on the body, everybody else allready does that. The advantage to place it above the 24th might be that the string movement is bigger while playing so the middel string won't cover the middle part of the logo all the time.. Before i'l make the final decision i'll put the strings on!
  28. Stu-khag started following American Vintage Precision
  29. Stu-khag
    I thought they became the American vintage range after the avri reissues were discontinued and then American vintage 2? I have an avri 62 jazz master from 2001. I've barely ever played it as the nitro is so thin!

    I have a folder with rehearsal reference recordings. The band plays a lot of the songs differently to the originals, an extra couple of bars here and there, timing changes, stops etc. Playing along to the originals is just the starting point.

    Was wondering why the hell anyone would need two of these things at the same time
