  1. Past hour
  2. Try experimenting with where you position your right hand. I find J basses particularly tone-sensitive to this.
  3. I use that too sometimes but the MS offers me many more options (and controls my other pedals too). If I were taking the FI and nothing else to a session I’d probably use the 4Control.
  4. I wish we had Harley Benton years ago! ButI'm doing my best to catch up, with 2 guitars and 3 basses so far
  5. I use the midibeam 4Control fastened ubder my board. No need to take off the FI and it gives me expression pedal and an extra two button switch
  6. They all act the same way, just with higher or lower peaks. There's a period, relatively short, where the emission is brightest, and then it settles at a lower level. It's just physics :shrug:. That lower level does last quite a bit, but I didn't see (no pun intended ) much use for it, as I never play in total darkness. Maybe I was wanting brighter than it is reasonable? Sure, it still glows an hour later, but for me it's not a useful glow. I charged them for a few seconds (each dot) just before going in with a UV torch. A blue torch also worked. The places where it was great is where there were UV lights on stage. This is one of the ones I had done, before they had the version with the black pipe surround. A few min after charging they're still bright to be seen indoors with natural light. But that level of brightness is not where it settles. Mine were the blue ones, by the way, which are not quite as bright as the green ones anyway. I can't find their emission graphs anymore, but their FAQ tracks with my experience:
  7. Well, actually it is 190W @ 4 Ohm, 100W @ 8 Ohm. https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_gpa_100.htm 68£ / 79 Euro I strongly consider one, to replace the 160W @ 4 Ohm, 100W @ 8 Ohm, old ridiculously heavy Peavey guitar combo, that I currently use as my poweramp ( and plugged into the Return input socket of the Effects Loop, and with the build in 12" guitar speaker disconnected), to power my "amp-less" setup and FRFR PA speaker.
  8. Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys is a really iconic album that I love and have been dipping into over the last few months. As I found out last week when transcribing, 'God Only Knows', Carol Kaye was not the only bassist on the album and even some of the bass lines played with her classic combo of muted pick and P-Bass were in fact played by Ray Pohlman. Then there is the interesting topic of the Danelectro bass to throw into the mix… There's even upright bass on a lot of the tracks and you might be surprised to find out who else features in the bass lines. In my latest YouTube video, I discuss the bass parts of Pet Sounds and demonstrate some of the more interesting bass lines. Ultimately, as I said last week, we'll never know 100% who played what on every track, but it's a fun journey to explore! Free transcription link under the video in the description.
  9. Eine Symphonie Des Grauens - The Monochrome Set
  10. HI Are these tuners this one ? https://www.thomann.de/gb/gotoh_gb350_2l_2r_bc_bass_tuners.htm?shp=eyJjb3VudHJ5IjoiZ2IiLCJjdXJyZW5jeSI6NCwibGFuZ3VhZ2UiOjJ9&reload=1 Thank's for your answer
  11. Thanks for the added info @Quatschmacher. 👍
  12. I guess this is the dilemma that we face. People on BC are very vocal about how wages should rise in the western economies. There are concerns that the west has a hollowed out manufacturing base. There are concerns about Russia and war. However nobody wants to pay extra for things made in the west. This makes for a very precarious work force and a potentially very vulnerable environment if war did kick off.
  13. Kim popped down to pick up a bass from me today ... what a great chap! We had a lovely chat about things bass and the transaction could not have gone more smoothly ... thanks Kim! Sam x
  14. I used the recommended Eminence Neo 3015LF and the 18 sound Neo 6" driver -- Great combination. Sold the Geddy ages ago and now only playing Short scales.
  15. obbm - the original SB14 neck was sold on to another member
  16. A modded 40 year old JV Precision hence the lower price. It has been routed for EMG PJ active pickups with a Jazz pickup at the bridge - a classic mod! The bass also has a countersunk Hi-Mass bridge. The bass weighs 4.3kgs and sounds and plays as a good PJ ought to. Classic JV quality in a lovely original fiesta Red finish. All hardware is original other than the mods. There are areas where the paint has been touched up near the neck pocket and bridge and the Jazz rout but nothing drastic. The mods are from the mid 80s when the bass was toured. At one point there was a switch that has since been removed and the hole on the original white scratchplate has a plastic cap over it. I’m selling my long scale basses that have no sentimental attachment owing to issues with my fretting hand. I’m not interested in trades other than shortscale Fender Mustangs or Stingrays. It has a gigbag and I would prefer pickup. Postage not impossible but at buyers cost and UK only. Thanks!
  17. Today
  18. Polytune 3 Mini in as new condition with cellophane still in the screen. Only a couple of months old and comes with original box. Price includes postage to a UK address
  19. This is easy. Everything can be decided after 1 high end whiskey bottle.
