  1. Past hour
  2. 😆 We're going to be doing a bit of that ahead of our New Year's Eve gig.
  3. The Achievers last Saturday. Anyone who enjoys great songwriting with excellent musicianship delivered with a touch of humour between songs will enjoy this band. At Temperance in Leamington Spa. A tiny basement venue with a capacity not much above thirty.
  4. Just had a decent Bendricks Rock rehearsal. No new stuff tonight, just turd polishing ahead of Saturday. Got a nice tone from the Squier40th Anniversary P. and added a few extra flourishes.
  5. I can’t seem to find it on AppStore @EllaReidh
  6. I never knew there was a basschat app
  7. Thanks for information!
  8. 👍
  9. But it would need to be very small.
  10. From Big Country tonight in Alexander’s chester superb , I realise that it is almost a tribute , but Mark Brzezecki was incredible , I don’t think I’ve ever seen or heard drumming like it . the rest of the guys were so on it , it was fantastic. i bought an extra ticket for our kid for his birthday last week , we first saw Big Country at the Liverpool Empire 40 years ago 😁
  11. This was a Covid project for me and it began life as a very neglected Columbus jazz bass. i stripped off the finish, refinished it in Lake placid blue, added MIM fender pickups and tuners. The bridge is from a friends spares box and I’ve no idea where the control plate came from. Rather than the usual fake fender decal, I went with a tokai one. Bad bits - the finish on the rear of the body is pretty patchy. The front is ok but there are some ‘roadworn’ areas. It was my first attempt at a refinish but it looks great from the front. Good bits - it’s really playable. The neck is really slim and fast. Reminds me of my MIJ Geddy. Asking £175 for it. Collection preferred but we can sort something out if that’s not practical. I’ve attached some before and after pics
  12. Higgie

    Neural Quad Cortex

    Loving the Aguilar Octamizer model in the last update. Not identical to the original, but close enough for me!
  13. I now have the guitar version which is actually three separate mutes, all of which work well on bass. I'm using the smallest one on my new (to me) starcaster bass and it takes the edge off the sustain nicely. I'll give them a go on the bass vi after I've put the LaBella flats on it.
  14. Today
  15. I could dig a sub forum for this stuff.
  16. Great set up. Ran exactly the same rig for a few years pre covid. GLWTS
  17. You can't go wrong with a set of SDQPs. Everything else is for the eyes, those are for the ears. They transformed my Squier P-bass Special, which is still my favourite 4-string
  18. Really is a lovely jazz this.
  19. That's the best mod-job I've ever seen on a Ricky 4001.
  20. Worth bearing in mind that any recorded bass in a track will have multiple stages of compression contributing to the final sound. Taking a classic setup you've potentially got compression from a (mic'ed) amp, a channel compressor, tape saturation and a mix compressor. Potentially extra channel and/or bus compressors and a tape bounce or two! A lot of these will only be shaving off the odd dB or two but it all adds up. In my opinion, the best way to use compressors on bass is to use several of them, with none of them working too hard individually. That way you can choose the sound sculpting you want practically independently of the dynamic range reduction.
  21. I'm sure that will be coming shortly.
  22. What?! no ki_ogon wiring loom? Can't be right 😂
  23. A bit more Pink Floyd than punk maybe? Just my view comparing the bass to the Roger Water sig. bass.
  24. Old but still amusing:
  25. We had one on Sunday, and our other bass player remarked afterwards that he'd had a health check at work and they'd noticed a deterioration in his hearing, and wondered if he had any ideas why that might be the case... He pointed out to me that he had earplugs, and duly showed them to me. You could see by the perfect winding of the string joining 'em they'd never been out of the box!
  26. Delta Lady (The Immortal) Joe Cocker
  27. Just sold a Jad Freer Capo to Ian. Great communication throughout and prompt payment. Top BassChatter! Enjoy the Capo.
