    This lovely condition 2023 Aubergine Fender American Performer Mustang is up for sale/trade. It's been with me for a few months and is set up beautifully with 40-95 Elixirs (Fender use 40-100 as standard on these.) This Mustang plays like a dream and is in excellent condition with no scratches or dings that I can see. It has only been used for one set on one gig in our live tribute show, so it's not earning its keep and therefore has to go. Comes complete with bill of sale from original owner and the original Fender Deluxe Gig Bag & case candy. The American Performer Mustang is also another instrument in the line (since the Highway 1 series Jazz/Precision) which utilises the 'Grease Bucket' tone control, which lowers tone without losing bass/volume. Using both P&J pickups with the tone control dimed, it sounds like a hyper-jazz bass. Switch to the split coil and turn the tone down to about 70% & you get a very good traditional Mustang/Precision sound. Solo the bridge single coil, halve the tone and you're in burpy Jaco land. It's a very adaptable bass. I would record you a demo, but I'll let 'Nick Campbell Destroys' do the honours below - he does a much better job than me! For sale at £825. (Recommended retail price on these is now nearly £1400 these days!) Interesting trade options considered. Buyer to collect, or can meet half way at a distance of up to 100 miles (total distance of up to 200 miles from DE7.)

    Superb Rob, took me back to being a kid again. Loved Mr Benn plus you added the full programme of Mr Benn and not just the intro music. Dave

    Thank you. I looked him up and found a video of him. That could be the guy. Some of the fills he played sound strikingly similar.

    Linux support for Surface devices has improved massively in recent years and Ubuntu has a touch friendly GUI, the patched Surface kernel has pretty much everything working on most models. Can see what might be a dealbreaker here: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Supported-Devices-and-Features#feature-matrix Another option would be to install the Ghost Spectre version of Windows 11, I have it on my Surface Go 1 (8/128) and it's much faster, sits at 2.6gb ram usage after boot.

    I listen to Fela Kuti fairly often, and I think I'd feel pretty uncomfortable if I was on stage playing Zombie with a white British guy singing the lyrics, especially given the amount of pidgin Kuti used. I would absolutely play stuff influenced by that style, but singing those actual songs feels a step further than I'd be comfortable with. Though I'm not claiming any great virtue on this type of thing - a couple of decades ago I played with one or two bands that dipped into other cultures in a "middle class white kids playing dress-up" way that I still cringe to think about.

    That all sounds pretty sucky; best of luck with whichever the new project turns out to be, sir.

    Sold a couple of bits to Paul, aka @Shepster8316. Amazing to deal with, instant payment and great comms. Deal with complete confidence. 👍👌

    No, there have been battles for “control” over the last 2 years. They’ve all been in a band together before I came in. I write most of the ideas and then they’re developed… Singer and Drummer have asked that we carry on without them and I’m in with that. But I think the main error was allowing the guitarist to mix the album. He wasn’t asked to, he just sort of started doing it. And the old “my precious” stuff kicked in. So, listen - I’m not being threatened, can’t be arsed with that. I said my piece and I’ve walked. Played with a new band on Monday, might keep that going while working with singer and drummer on new stuff… Or just help that band cross the line at a gig next month and refocus on my stuff with Drummer and Singer…

    Is the EQ section passive? The way the numbers are arranged on the controls would suggest it is.

    Me. Ha.

    A Sire V7 is still the best value gigging bass out there IMO, very versatile instruments. Good low B on the 5 strings as well.
  25. Geek99
    It is, but what I found was that I could flit between the two without fiddling around. A jazz style bass can get close with bass / para mid/treble
  26. Mrbigstuff
    That’s defintely achievable on a jazz bass. My references are Sean Hurley/ James Jamerson/ rocco prestia which are a bit tougher to replicate on a Jazz.

    Jeez, that's ridiculous.... Is there no chance of a reconciliation after a cool-down period, Andy?

    Fresh one… After 8 months, the self produced and recorded album is ready. We played a gig on Friday, all good. A well known local producer likes what we’ve played at the gig, offers to mix a track for us. We said, “no the guitarist has done a great job and we’re happy” ”I’ll do it for nowt, see what you think?” Suggestion is put to the band. On Saturday. Guitarist initially says “fine by me” I said I don’t see the point - but we did “spare tracks” why not send that guy one and see what he does with it; it’s free. conversation continues via WhatsApp. Keys player (guitarists wife) then says we’re being really unfair/unreasonable getting someone to remix the album after guitarist has put loads of hours in. I agree with the sentiment, but reiterated that it’s one track - not the album. Anyhow, guitarist says I “deserve a smack” - for effectively agreeing with his wife… and all hell breaks loose. no more band. Brilliant.
