  1. Past hour
  2. I usually go for 1 ½. Have never had an E-string slip.
  3. You could try a contact mic like an Ischell C3 or a Schertler. They are both pretty costly to buy just as an experiment though.
  4. Lonesome Cowboy Burt - Zappa
  5. I'm firmly anti-gua. I assume the name is wordplay on 'gua-no'
  6. Blimey. How did you manage that? I did something simlar to my chinese plywood special. A friend who repairs guitars managed to apply a maple cleat underneath the smashed bit, then push the wood back up enough to patch it from the outside. The bass had a black lacquer finish, so it waa essier to disguise once the finish waa smooth. I don't know if that would work on this though.
  7. Cowboy Song - Thin Lizzy
  8. If you were happy to wait for a bit and wanted to avoid a dealer, you could advertise it in the instrument sales section of musicalchairs.info. Quite a lot of more valuable instruments seem to sell on there.
  9. Yet another five-star transaction from Mick. He's a class act.
  10. Just had the pleasure of dealing with @gary mac again, this time Gary sold me a great little accessories case. What can I say that hasn't already been said about Gary ; he's an absolutely top bloke, talented muso, a highly respected luthier and a longstanding and very well liked Basschatter... Suffice to say that you can deal with him with complete confidence, Folks! Thanks again Gary and all the best for now, Nik 👍😊
  11. This is a very old debate that I always find a bit tedious. Some people are only concerned with pure functionality, and yes, the VTDI is perfectly adequate for that, because you can't hear the difference in a live situation anyway. Others (myself included) want that little bit extra, that look and feel. That's not rational, but it's fun. I, for example, find the VTDI very ugly, so I use other preamps. Both approaches are fine.
  12. A ringing endorsement indeed! Fair old drive for me but could be worth it definitely! I did surface this one on my travels and it seems perfect to be honest! I'm only a stone's throw from Harlow indeed
  13. Mine too... I'd have it back in a heartbeat but @Leonard Smalls ain't for parting with it...
  14. Today
  15. Sorry, sold it a good while ago just forgot to update the listing.
  16. The most awful "colour" ever and we are lucky as the clear varnish coat is yellowing over the years, otherwise it's even more horrendous. I got an original 1977 Antigua Precision Bass in a trade and couldn't simply get it out of its case without wanting to puke, so I traded it for the first bass that was the proposed to me: a 1969 500/1 Höfner, what a relief.

    I bought a bass neck from Will. Smooth and quick transaction, with good comms and good packing. I'd be happy to deal with him again. Cheers Will
  18. I’m going to try this as have a bit of a chorusy sound on my A string. In all the years I’ve been playing I never knew this.
  19. I heard he stopped after laddering his glove?
  20. Super rare Iron Ether Super FrantaBit - basically two FranaBits in one box, with foot switches to flip flop between them both, as well as switch between Degrade and Obliterate mode. One of the most versatile and sought after Bit Crushers ever made. Grab this now, without the painfully long wait, shipping, and a massive VAT bill when it arrives in the UK! Selling this to buy a Hologram Microcosm (had one, massive regrets over selling it), but will consider the following trades/part-exs: Hologram Microcosm, Red Panda Tensor, Triungolo Barbanera. Iron Ether Polytope, Iron Ether Xerograph, Providence Anadime Bass Chorus, Ibanez Ashula SRAS7 (Dragon Eye Burl finish).

  21. Yes it’s well laid out and easy to use for sound creation and library management.
  22. Worth trying a new B string?
  23. Bulls On Parade — Rage Against The Machine
  24. I’m amazed Scott’s bass lessons hasn’t covered this.
  25. Thanks for the kind offer. I’ll pass though as I’ve already spent ages comparing other stuff (which has been fun) and the Origin does the business. I think need to cool it a bit with pedal madness, get on with some playing and also crack on with FI4 update work.
  26. I feel so sorry for his children. How terrible to lose a nan and both parents so early in life.
