My Best Friend’s Girl - The Cars

Check out this carbon necked fretless Arpege https://www.ferremusique.com/basse-electrique/13092-arpege-fretless-carbon-1987-etui.html I wouldn't mind it, if it was closer and cheaper!

They were very shortlived (2 years end the 1990's) and were quickly shelved because they were EXTREMELY high quality instruments. Better than Fender was churning out in Mexico. Also, what you see is the only iteration there was: translucent red with gold hardware. No other colours.

As far as I'm aware, there's no way of doing it now.

^ no rules,but i'd go for Correct for the headstock, so a LH Decal Just lacquered over, couple or three of light mistings of clear gloss... One thing worth mentioning is how flat 16" the HB neck is... have you thought about a fretlrss neck?

I wandered in to Steve's Guitar Centre (Cosham, nr. Portsmouth), spotted an EBS Reidmar 250 amp in a corner, had a play, now it's home with me. Nice!

On previous occastions it's been held the day before the Kempton Park guitar show (Sun 26th October this year).

Just got in from a rehearsal with Knock Off. Went well as usual but the highlight for me was the Hartke HA3500 410 combo with their VX speakers, combined with my JMJ Mustang and Behringer BDI21 the sound was awesome. I know some people aren’t that keen on Hartke gear but this amp was just great.

Thanks guys (except Steve). The baritone is too guitarish. I thought to get the PB70 with Piccolo strings. I asked the AI what frequencies it covers, it says between 60 to 600 hz. Which is pretty neat. I thought about shortscale but I have long fingers — something I should cherish! And I'll get a better sustain with the long scale which is important to me.

Girl's best friend - Jay Z

Plastic Man - Kinks

Songhoy Blues, Music in Exile. Something about this band that I really like.

Would they fit with a Hipshot tuner? My A string could do with some help!

Anyone got tips about getting a decent sound when playing along to songs? I put my double bass & electric bass clips on my Instagram channel, but I record video on my iPhone with the song playing through a speaker and my bass playing through an amp, so I pick up extra fretboard and string noise (I know this is less than perfect technique causing extra noise). I've got an iMac and GarageBand, but I don't know how to get a clean digital sound through that to mix with the backing song and the video footage. Would I have to use iMovie to put the three things together? Thanks

Yeah I was a bit late to see the message 😢

got to be loads out there real or carton pics....... be nice to have a collection of them here.

Bought some pickup covers for a P Bass from Tom. Excellent comms throughout and quick, safe, delivery. Deal with the utmost confidence.

Bruce Springsteen's stage was offered but deemed too small and a three part revolving stage was constructed, which allowed one band to perform while another was being set up and the previous band's equipment packed up. The stage movement was supposed to be motorised but technical problems meant that it had to be rotated manually.
