Just found him through Justin Hawkins who recommended him on his channel. He has got something weird but wonderful going on here, clearly a talented guy. He is a great player, I'm watching his videos and I'm laughing as well as really enjoying his playing - I got to assume he has irony turned up to 11, absolutely brilliant J

Whoops! I never thought about the neck. It's a thru neck. I've added a picture 🙂

I've decided to go to our gig at Rebellion in Blackpool on the train in order to personally save the planet etc... (rest of band all arriving on different days). As they're providing an AmpegSVT and 8x10 I only need to take bass, helix and an array of funky shoes and trees. However, luggage policy seems a little confused - anyone know if train travel is easily possible with bass in soft case? It says max size 1m!

So decision made, I’ve gone for simplicity. My doubling gig has become a full on acoustic gig (with PA support of course) so I’ve decided to go with two boards as the combined board was starting to look like I might be over compensating for something. This will be the electric bass board and has only what I need to make my beautiful basses sound more beautiful. The Capo and the Empress are recent purchases but boy are they good/worth the money in my book.

It all depends on the opamp used, some will still work with very low voltage...

Your edition is a fake as "recherche" is feminine, the correct title must be "À la recherche du temps perdu". That said any Harry Potter book would have done the job perfectly, furthermore they are available in different thicknesses for perfect angling.

Hi Aberdeen bass players. . . . did any of you play with Dave Innes? I gigged with him a lot down here in London. One of the best drummers I played with, he is sadly missed.

very nice indeed. Dave

Oh Chapeau sir, chapeau!

For slap playing, you want the action medium low - around 2mm (pictured) between the 12th fret and the bottom of the E-string. That way you get a little rebound off the strings. If action is too low, it will feel flat and too unresponsive to slap. Also, make sure you look underneath the strings in between the end of the fingerboard and the neck pickup. You should see a graduated curve between the strings. The A-string should be highest, with equal distances downwards to the D & G strings (pictured). You'll know the shape of the curve when you see it. At the end of the day, action is more about personal preference. Some people like hugely thick strings with massive unbendable amounts of string tension with a high action that they can really hit hard, and others like a lighter string, lower action, with lower string tension, so they can readily bend, and most importantly, for the bass to work with them, as opposed to fighting against them. I never thought to ask... What bass do you have, and what string gauge do you use?

It was a light hearted joke Then I started thinking - why the hell not? I know many of us are very busy most weekends, and through the week evenings are littered with rehearsals and other sorts of stuff. But if we could arrange a time when a bunch of us could get togther (a Sunday afternoon perhaps?) - nothing as grand as a bass bash - just a meetup somewhere in the pub to talk shite about basses or bands or anything else you fancy - would any of you Aberdeen city and shire bassists be interested? No offence taken if it comes to hee haw, but if you don't ask, you don't get...

It seems fine on my M4 with external monitor, but not my M1 using the built in screen.
