All Activity

We've done this New Year's Eve Eve gig for a few years now and it's always a sell-out. It's in the small village of Twyford and seems that most of the villagers were there, probably for the excellent buffet! I'm glad I took the day off as we do it all again tonight...

Really enjoying this thread. Some interesting insights into how the bass brain works 😂 Dave

I was away over Christmas and then spent a particularly long time on another 12 minute Dave Holland Big Band tune. Should be up tonight. Thanks for your patience.

It is indeed, but for me it's down to a number of things... One of them being finding the "right" people who want to write original material rather than doing covers or "blues/shred lead guitarists". Happy to do some covers, but only if they are interspersed in between original songs.

Let's make it a thing!

Wow! That's raw and cool.

Or albumen... Oh, wait, that would be Fear of Egg White. As you were...

Vol, Vol, Tone, with tone pot wired to pull up to switch between series/parallel. It’s monster!

Genuine Q. What did I miss here? Are these very good value? Why would these appeal beyond one of the Sterling/ Sub/Ray34 or whatever they're called these days?

Happy New year, everyone!

Possibly in the wrong place ? @Woodinblack

Great Bassline, especially the intro

Many thanks for replying and explaining 'things'. I apologise for not making my question clearer regarding how well the fretless G3 rated compared with similar instruments in the same class. I didn't know whether you still owned the fretless model in the photo. I simply asked how it compared based on the assumption that you would have played it avidly at some point and I was curious to know your thoughts. I too have moved from 4's to 5's but also from fretted to fretless. Personally, I'd always set my sights on a Sei which I thought I'd probably end up buying secondhand from the Bass Gallery. When I saw your Gus Fretless it stopped me in my tracks and got me thinking......🤔 I suppose ultimately I'd aspire to a Pentabuzz but could never see me locating/affording a 5 string one. Once again, thank you very much for the photos and information. Very much appreciated 🙏

This is the first time that I have dealt with an active preamp. I bought a pre wired 2 band preamp for my jazz bass originally. But, decided to install it in my generic P bass instead. I couldn't find the right wiring diagram on Google or anywhere I looked online. I was wondering and hoping if anyone on here to help me out with my bass? You got a wiring diagram that would be amazing. This preamp has a master volume that is an 1 mega ohm audio taper pot. A bass & trouble cut there are B-50 killaohm pots, and a MN250K blender pot. I would greatly appreciate it? If anybody can help me figure out this wiring! P.S. instead of having this PB split called pickup connected. I know him two single coil pickups. I'm going to upload pictures of my preamp and the wires a little cock eyed. Any help would be truly appreciated especially if there's a wiring diagram or some other type visual along with everything. The first picture is of my pickups and the blend pot. The second picture is the bass and treble cut. Along with the brand module. I would also like to add either spdt or D PDT switches., I have a dpdt slide switch, and spdt mini toggle on off on switch. Lastly the output Jack is a mono stereo Jack. I kind of have an idea on how to connect all the wires and make it work right. Cuz the other day I had her completely together. I was testing the preamp out. Two different amps

The synth player in my band mixes all our recordings on a pair of KRK Rokit speakers which allow him to get some excellent sounding mixes and which to me seem reasonably small - although my last set of studio monitors were Tannoy Gold 10" dual-concentrics so my idea of sizes might be a bit skewed. As I said in the recent headphones thread, the most important thing about whatever speakers you choose is that you spend a serious amount of time listening to recordings you know and like through them so you get to know their strengths and weaknesses and then can use them to make objective decisions about your own recordings.

Don't lie... you're clearly breeding those mechanical spider things from War Of The Worlds and this is a baby one that accidentally got photographed in the reflection of your mirrored scratch plate. This is exactly the reason why I don’t have mirrored scratch plates.
