    Interesting, since my peeve is cables! High quality wireless systems are so affordable I can’t think why anyone wouldn’t have one 😆

    … I was about to suggest the One 10.

    Just back from Ipswich, where we played Rock Against Leukaemia - it’s ninth year now and they’re doing amazing work. It’s always a fun show, this one had us getting ‘glitter beards’ at the request of our singer’s little girl. (The things you do to keep kids laughing!) We played a truncated set well, plenty of dancers, and it was an opportunity to play a heavier than normal set, with Metallica, Fall Out Boy, Sabbath, Nirvana, Lit and a few others. Great night and can’t wait for next year’s 10th birthday for RAL! edit, I supposed I’d better show off said glitter beard, eh?

    People who say "pacifically" rather than "specifically".

    Why not , I’m utterly shameless at this point …

  10. lvrossem
    My first ever bass guitar (Ibanez GSR200B) just came in, and it came with some significant fret buzz/rattling on the top 4 frets. Possible fixes I've read go from "just give the truss rod nut a quarter turn" to "get some advanced measuring equipent and measure this and this and that" Any idea what kind of measurements these are? I assume it's related to the exact distance between strings and frets, which is specific per fret or sth? In any case, I've already found that all the frets are the same height using a credit card

    Mr Potato, If you're after a list of my top 5 of everything I've owned; MusicMan Bongo 5HH (gone) Mike Lull JAXT4 (still here) Hamer Cruisebass (still here) Spector Euro-X (still here) Gibson Thunderbird (Ivory) (gone) I could likely list you another 20 basses that I'm either still in ownership of OR have sold on to fund purchases, if that lights your candle. Just because they're gone doesn't mean they weren't - for me at least - sterling instruments. Search hard enough on this site and you'll find documented proof of most of my kit, past and present.

    Whilst I visited The Bass Centre when it was in Wapping, I preferred it when it moved to the site, a stone’s throw from Liverpool St. I could legitimately pop in there pretty much any day of the week, without making a special trip out to Wapping.

    The Bass Centre, Birmingham circa 1997. The story: Been learning a few months on a cheap Ibanez, still pretty crap & no amp - practicing through my cheap midi hifi. Amazing talented bass player in my best mates band takes too many psychedelics at the time and takes a trip to jam with Buddah and disappears for many years to come. I have his bass for a few months and get asked to join my best mates band. Little did I know at the time was that this heavy bitch of a bass I borrowed off the first bassist was a Jaydee. Meanwhile Buddha bass get his bass returned to his parents and then loses the Jaydee, or gave it away I believe, on a pilgrimage in India. Anyhow, the bass centre - plans to buy a Squire and used Peavy TNT amp (super heavyweight), saved the money - on budget. Travel from Shropshire to Birmingham with the vocalist in his 76 bay window VW Camper and it sort of turns into a bit of a Cheech & Chong journey…smoke everywhere and not just from the VW. Anyway, arriving somewhat spiraled eyed I end up stoned beyond all comprehension and sign my first ever loan…Stingray & Trace Elliot combo…bloody skint, great times, great shop - long live listening to Funkadelic at the Birmingham Bass Centre 🤩

    It was after about 20 or 30 mins - it wasn’t helped by the fact it was snowing outside so the customers were all outside playing snowballs. New guy just wanted to close up as only people left inside was us.

    I'd have thought he'd have already done it 5 years ago! 😂

    Wow! That sounds gorgeous
  22. Mediocre Polymath started following Help with info on Markbass little Mark 250 Blackline.
  23. Mediocre Polymath
    I have one of these amps, and I've had the cover off a few times to replace failed/crackly pots in the preamp board. I'll pop the cover off and take some pictures when I get a moment. These would be the big electrolytic, yes?
  24. Steve Browning
    After how long? I played a pub in Worthing where, after figuring we needed to watch our volume, we were asked to turn down after the first number. When they made the same request after the second number, we were asked to stop playing and got the full fee.

    Luscious. May I suggest 2 bottom strap buttons so that you can lean it against something and it does not tip over? I cannot count how many times I have put my Tele down in the house and loved that aspect of it.
  31. potato bass
    maybe you can list 5 that you had that was "Cream of the Crop" of your bass load ?
  32. Steve Browning
    Oh yes. Way better than any glimpse at a Health and Efficiency. Proper smut for the aspiring and skint adolescent musician.
