Also made a Warwick, er, tribute. I had one that had been defretted. That did me until I got a cheap Thumb and had it defretted and the neck reprofiled to JD Thumb dimensions.

Not likely, post from an employee after today's meeting. "Latest update on TGP: I'm sad to say it's true. I just got back from my "meeting". I was told they are winding down the company and letting go of all the employees. They dodged the Fender question so i'm assuming they bought it. 33 years of doing the right thing and the rug gets yanked out from underneath you. It's hard to take, but thankful for those years."

As G&L are purportedly an innovative brand, it could be a route for Fender to bring out its own headless range and enter the latter part of the 20th century.
-
So when you add a functional extra string, for people like me, the 5er looks fine?
-
I don't see what's bad about the Sire headstock, except, of course, that there is a headstock. It looks a little more function over form that the fugly Fender monstrosity.

I do quite a few open mics which have featured bands, and 90% of the bassists have 4-string FSOs. Having had both fan-frets and parallel frets, I prefer the parallel. I also prefer 5-strings to 6-strings (and 4-strings). For those reasons, this doesn't interest me except in the sense that I'd like to see if NS comes up with the CF equivalent of the Hohner B2AV or Spirit XT25 (with a nicer neck). It does look like a better thought out body than the symmetrical cricket bat.

Hi everyone, Up for sale is this SahBro? Brass Section Fuzz. A cool Brassmaster clone in a 1590BB enclosure. It's a nice option if you're looking for that particular kind of fuzz sound, but it's not in a giant enclosure at a larger price. It's got a few dings, but it all works as it should. Here's the reverb shop I got it from: https://reverb.com/uk/item/83850271-sahbro-audio-the-brass-section-brassmaster-clone I'm asking £90 for it. Price includes postage. Below I've attached some quick sound clips too. The signal is a P bass with Chromes, straight into an RNDI. Brass Section Samples.wav Cheers!-

It is (D#m technically) We've settled on Bm 😁😁😁 -
We played 2 nights at the Chorley festival last year - Friday and a Saturday. its a multi-venue thing across the town. first night peaked with a ukulele orchestra and by the time we played, one couple and 6 people who I knew arrived. the second night in a more “prime” venue - was absolutely rammed… it’s a venue problem as well as a band concern.

I use one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305925820264?var=605184196024 I can get 6 lamps in a 20x20cm bag plus the mains leads. Check the length though, they come in a range. Previously I hollowed out an old bass case which took five lamps with a bit more protection

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
Stub Mandrel replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Good rehearsal tonight. Boys of Summer requires a lot of concentration! I took a five string which was just as well as we ended up playing it in multiple keys. For the himass bridge fans my stock Flea Jazz had no difficulty sustaining the notes when we played Em. And for people who worry about flabby b-strings, my Harley Benton Marquess was sounding awesome. We ended up settling for Bm but I'll probably use an octaver (as does Tim Schmidt when playing it in Dm on a four string). Aside from four new songs, most of the evening was tidying up arrangements. -
90s/00s Korean brand, apparently good quality, & mostly copies. Got into some bother with Fender over the similarity of the logo on their, erm, Fender knockoffs. They made some originals including the Argus bass, which I had GAS for for a long time. And I still regret not picking up the one that was on here for £100, quite a lot of years ago. Yep. I still want one.

Please share any new thoughts on dealing with poor attendance at gigs. I've been dealing with it for years, yet I still struggle with weak attendance. I know it's part of the job. Take a look at the contrast we've all had to deal with. Daryl

Perfect deal with Andy on some Acoustic Image amplification. Top communication and a credit to this community.

Mid 80s Wilkes Fretless Bass (with the 'slap plates')

Sounds as if it would be nice with the bottom strings of a fiver, BEAD. Out of my range, I'm afraid - GLWTS! -

Hopefully @Natasha will return, IMHO we need more ladies active on the site. we have about 5000 more than talkbass though so a thumbs-up on equality. We need to catch up on pickup trucks though … -

What the Subject Line says: Is there UK maker of Rob Allen style basses? Not copies, but similar vein.
