Gear heads anodise a lot of bolt on goodies to their 'bikes and cars. As colour finishes go, anodising stands out without making ally parts look less metallic and more plastic-y.

So glad to hear it went well

If we get a dep drummer into my own band from time to time, we tend to streamline the set to focus on stuff that’s easy to get thru with me cueing him for any unusual stops / starts etc. If it’s just the occasional gig with someone stepping in to help us out, it’s probably not the time to debut some horribly complicated track. As ever, good onstage communication is a wonderful thing.

I got mine from aliexpress. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009447489097.html

Got this through the post on Saturday - wow! Very impressed with it so far, really adds a little bit of magic to your tone - I had the mk1 a while ago but this is a pretty big upgrade on that - highly recommended

Famous last words. . . .

this knob puller you speak of... where do i find such an item 😍

Only a couple? I'm impressed. I do that after playing for about 50 years!!

As said already a Tapered B string of the correct gauge (I used 135’s) worked great in making a B that sounded a bit flabby sound a whole lot better. I have a 35” Lakland jazz and the B is fantastic, and a 34.25” Mayones Jabba which again has a great B so I’m not sure scale length alone is everything, but I’ve had several Fender V’s and the B string has never really been “good” on any of them - tapered B string definitely fixed it somewhat, but I generally swerve Fender 5’s - they make fantastic passive 4 string basses, so they’re all I really look at from them now (unless I can play it first)

my last two purchases from them. 1, ordered something, should of been next day delivery, i waited nearly two weeks only to be told they were still waiting for an overdue stock to come in, so they were taking orders of stock they never had. i got a refund and closed my account. that was about 2 years ago. 2, last week i had to go back to them, and ordered a pair of beyer dt770 and a pair of superlux hd660. the beyers were fine as they came in a sealed tab box The superlux though, they sent me a B stock pair with the box torn, inside the box was untidy like it had all been just chucked back in and obvious signs of ware ! they refunded the superlux right away. so, lost faith. thought id try again. and now lost faith for the last time.

For one band I'm in I've given up practicing to the originals... better to rely on my wits.

Spectre - Radiohead

Hi there, Thanks for your messages, Nick's memorial gig was phenomenal, grateful for Grainger guitars and all there support for our family. The weather held out and the everyone rocked there hardest for our big bro 💚🤟🎸 I dropped a couple of notes but managed to get to the end of my song!

Hi, I've seen only a Supernatural in my life... And only recently have I been able to fulfill a lifelong dream of owning an Alembic... So it's quite hard here in Italy to have them side by side

Seconded. I loved my Hohner B2A, it was a full longscale bass but supercompact and easy to carry around. The ergonomics of having the upper strap button behind the 21st fret were a bit weird, but that's easily resolved with a simple mod. Only sold it because I had too many 4-strings and could use the money towards a new car or I would still have it. The Spirit version should be available used within your budget.
