Thanks for sharing that. It's worth me considering 🤔 -
Buying and Importing from Japan
Cornwall Steve replied to Cornwall Steve's topic in General Discussion
Thanks. There are several for sale by Japanese vendors, hence the reason for my Post -
Recently I’ve been listening to Moving On by Bitty McLean, I bought it when it came out and I’d forgotten just how good this album is , Robbie’s basslines are just perfect, I’ve noted a few down to re learn , it’s worth checking out if you haven’t already, there’s not one track that I don’t like

Another deal gone down without drama... Cheers, Mickeyboro Shug

That's terrible! I hope you recover quickly. Lots of playing loud bass should help a bit.

What are you listening to right now?

I love Dire Straits. Every album is worth repeat listening, but for me the top three have to be Making Movies, Love over Gold and Dire Straits. Brothers in Arms is only demoted to fourth because the tracks on the CD are all longer than those on the LP and so I find they drag a bit. -
Sorry to report I have had a terrible accident. I accidentally drove to Camden tonight and bought a new gig bag. The old one was very tatty. Unfortunately the bass I had ordered to just try out, also accidentally left the shop in the bag after I accidentally paid for both of said items. A terrible state of affairs. I now have 4 basses! I am practically a hoarder now.

Apart from playing Sultans in my younger days and their hits i've never really listened to much more but your post has me interested to hear more. Dave -

Stellar synthwave. Not to be confused with Stella Synthwave who works on the tills at Lidl. -
Would be good to hear an update on this after all the effort that was put in by quite a few on BC. Dave

Now £395 GAS is a a terrible thing. So there I was all content after a really good year, then boom and 'must have ' bass punched a mighty hole in the budget. So, my two latest acquisitions need new homes. They are brand effectively and we all know the G & L story so this is it, want a new one?, you wont find any better. Here is my surf green SB-2. Without question a bass out on its own, spicy MFD pickups (with their trademark adjustable pole pieces), Twin volume control which on other SB-2s i have found to be really easy to dial in a volume/tone needed. That said the modder in me has purchased the dual concentric knobs ready for a stacked volume tone per pickup (like the early Jazz basses). I can throw those in. This hasnt been gigged (one jam session tho..) so is 10/10 perfect. Vinyl wrapped black plate (easily removed if needed..plain black underneath). I know i'll regret letting this go, they are going to be a cult classic imho. This was bought literally a week before G & L went out of business, so one of the last out the door. Fully set up with EB slinkies set on all fressh and ready to go. I can arrange shipping at buyers expense insured (or uninsured at buyers risk).

They are brand effectively and we all know the G & L story so this is it, want a new one?, you wont find any better. Check out my other listing for my SB-2 or take a look at this... NOW £450 Anywho. 3 TSB Jazz bass, the G & L version, spicier pickups than your average J type bass in this price range. Beautifully finished and in 10/10 condition. Vinyl wrapped plate easily removed . I have been after a nice example of this since seeing Ritchie Kotzens 'riot'. I finally pulled the trigger on this new one in the early summer and very pleased i am too or was until i fell for 'another' way more expensive J beast. As with the SB-2 i'd love to keep it but needs must. I love the bridges on these bad boys. Fully set up with fresh EB slinkies. Can ship at buyer expense, pickup from Rochester or exchange somewhere near to the M25.

I have been working on the Patitucci part for 'Spain' of the Akoustic Band record but I have abandoned it for now. It's just too hard. I went to this because it was the antithesis of 'Spain'. Jimmy Woode's bass part for 'The Star Crossed Lovers' from the Duke Ellington masterpiece 'Such Sweet Thunder'. All the notes are on mostly minims on the beat - easiest thing in the world to read - this one is simple note recognition of beginners. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/the-star-crossed-lovers-duke-ellington/

Phil's right. If you're using subs, anything larger than 12s in top boxes is unnecessary.

Bought some glasses from Craig and he wrapped them up and posted them to me in record time! Exactly as described and measured, so a perfect fit. Couldn't be better - Really appreciate it. Could probably do with another pair, so I'll keep my eyes peeled🤓. Thank you

Anyone know a Luthier who refrets Graphite Necks?
Dan Dare replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in General Discussion
Wouldn't the best option be to get a new, fretted fingerboard - ebony, rosewood or similar - made for it? -
Sensible approach. With new/class D amps, it's wise to go for something that uses proven components. I bought an Aguilar partially (I liked how it sounded, too) because they use ICEPower modules, which are readily available if something goes wrong. ICEPower, Hypex and similar are reputable components that can at least be replaced if repair is not possible.

That’s the one I was referring to, yes. Can’t guarantee it’s what you need, but I’ve used plenty of it in the past. Do some research into how to get a good even coverage - I use a sponge applicator when working on leather. - Today

Is this what I need Steve!?
