That's a very short story... Did they all live happily ever after....?

Thank you so much for your input

A Groovy Kind Of Love - Wayne Fontana/Mindbenders

I'm still waiting to see how the M6-6 comes out. The P6-5 above is a neat looking instrument, for an FSO.

As someone who's never played a 12, the order of the strings was something I'd never considered, either tonally or playing feel. Interesting, thanks guys. Sidebar comment: I'd love a 12 with a 6x2 arrangement.

Tainted Love - Soft Cell

Auld Gambling House in Alloa for BLOCKBUSTARZ tonight. Reasonable sized crowd maybe 100 in plus a childhood neighbour turned up who lives in Alloa. Owner said its been slow over past few mths. Anyways thought i'd try my Overwater J4 for a spin but half way thru 2nd set i realised it was getting a bit heavy and my back was feeling it and i changed over to old faithful Sandberg VM4. Wife reckoned the VM4 was better sounding, deeper but clearer. Had dancers up most of the night with a full floor for special request of Time Warp. Audience seemed well up for a party tonight and really enjoyed themselves. Using Overwater J4 then Sandberg VM4 into Handbox WB-100 and BF 212 cab with Shure wireless and Keeley Bassist Comp. 1st set fro 8 to 9:20pm and 2nd set 9:45 to 11:15pm Got paid and a 1:15mins drive home.

I'm sure you're aware of the Basschat Marketplace, specifically the Basses for Sale section. It can be a dangerous place to be if you don't have you wallet safely stashed away in a locked box with a lost key. 😂 Mark

Start with you bass straight into the amp and then add each pedal individually (one by one) until you recreate the fault.

Hi everyone I've been lurking here and there for a while and thought I'd finally sign up. It's been a great source of info, and whilst lurking I've wanted to get involved in the selling/buying forums multiple times - now I can! I've been playing bass for over 20 years, although you wouldn't know it to hear me!! I played in bands when I was much younger, but I'm still playing a lot and writing songs so you never know, maybe I'll make a comeback one day haha. My main bass is a Kramer DMZ4000 I bought in the early 2000s, but I am always looking for something to usurp it! Cheers!

Ooooh, I do like the look of the P6 5 string in black 😍🤌 I'd prefer passive though...

Seeing as we are discussing Mr Manton I shall tell you my Mr Manton story. I needed some extensive work done on a bass. He did it beautifully.

Hi, I'm a newbie. Sorry. Lol. Trying to put together a pedal board and it's not working. I'm so frustrated 😠. This is the equipment I've got:- Schecter evil twin bass guitar Seymour duncan powerstage bass 700 Darkglass dg212n Hx stomp xl Boss chromatic tuner Ampeg opto comp Jam red muck Jam rattler Tc electronic sentry Ckk electronic space station pro Reverb Flattley bass nirvana delay Flattley bass valkyrie chorus Mooer gl 100 Looper The problem I'm having is getting the pedals to work with the hx stomp xl. I can get the hx stomp to work with amp, but the pedals i can barely here at all. I've tried global settings, all combinations. Tried every pedal and cables individually(they all work). I would like my tuner, Compressor, fuzz, distortion before the hx stomp. Has anyone got any ideas what I'm doing wrong. Many thanks

Aw, thanks! The Inevitable Teaspoons are very grateful for your purchase 🥰

Another request received through the website, this is the Étienne Mbappé bass part for the tune 'Djanea' from the 1989 Ultramarine album, 'Dé'. A monster part but, once you know what you are doing, its surprising how much you can achieve. That's what I love about reading. It shows you that its all possible, even this crazy s***. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/djanea-ultramarine/
