  1. Past hour
  2. Always wanted to try one of these... 400 miles away though 🥲
  3. 4th Jorja Smith transcription. Jorja Smith - Lost & Found | Charlie Perry
  4. Just as @Belka said raising the thickness of the string is absolutely not the solution, except if you only play an opened B and nothing else. The thicker the string, the worse the intonation is, so with a B string, never go thicker than 0.135 gauge. The clarity and definition (and more important intonation) can be improved by the string construction, not by its thickness, which will do the opposite. Guess why piano strings are exposed core for most of them, especially in low end part...
  5. A week too late, bugger! Epic cabs these 👌
  6. Thanks. It felt like something that happens in a hospital drama, not real life.! I was just meaning that it goes both ways after someone dies and it isn't always just old people with perhaps more complicated estates.
  7. That is something I had hoped to make clear in the original post, and I believe why the classification of Bronchiectasis came into being. As for how the lung damage happened, my "Asthma" started at 1 year of age. At exactly the same time as the Great Smog (Dec 1952). The Great Smog lasted 6 days and the air contained sulphur dioxide plus moisture. Mix those two and you have dilute Sulphuric Acid to breathe.
  8. Reduced to £150 - bargain or what!
  9. I bought this new in 2019 direct from Barefaced with a custom white baffle. It is the clearest and loudest sounding cab I've ever owned but it's really a bit too much for the gigs I'm doing. It's happy with a wide range of amps, I've used TC Electronics, Mark Bass, Ashdown and even a Trace Elf! All sounded super. Prefer collection for this one or meet up in central belt. Includes the original barefaced padded cover. If you are in the area, pop round for a coffee and a tryout. Thanks for looking.
  10. Cheers - I’ve been looking around and some have gone for a lot more, so hope the pricing is fair / good.
  11. I've had a few fretless Stingrays, all with Pau Ferro boards and found them all well suited to the job. I don't think it looks as cosmetically nice as ebony but that's a minor point. One thing I did note though is that it's a bit on the brittle side, I had the board resurfaced on a SR5 as it had a little wear and when the nut was removed a bit of the board at the back of the nut popped off and had to be glued back into place.
  12. I had one of these. The P90 simulation was really good... and hum-free! At the time I was playing mostly a Les Paul with P90s, but the Variax sounded so much cleaner (when dirty, if you know what I mean ). Very tempting, but I can't justify it right now... Good luck with the sale!
  13. Paper Late - Genesis
  14. Is the Pink Lionel active/passive? Did you get it from Bass Direct?
  15. Oh I think they`re great Terry, I bought the BB1100s this year as a nostalgia move because my first proper bass back in 1987 was one of these. It really is so versatile, not much it can`t do, and super-reliable too, did hundreds of gigs on my one back then, and with no back-up. If I were a session musician and could only take one "does it all" instrument then this would be the bass I`d take. The only change/improvement I could think of is having volume controls for each pickup rather than just the P/PJ/J switch.
  16. Welcome from deepest Sutherland, the most secluded, peaceful and beautiful part of the Scottish Highlands. No big dramas here, just like this site.
  17. I actually own 3 more of the same mic (Red5Audio RV8) all of them working, i'll have to have a look and see how easy swapping the capsule is, i've been meaning to inspect the circuit as well, my guess is either a bad solder joint or maybe a blown capacitor, i've got a feeling it's all surface mount though so beyond my soldering skills. maybe this is a good opportunity to build a replacement circuit for it.

  18. Standard 4 string 5 hole fender replacement, fch version used but only a bit, very good but I prefer not having to lock everything down…. 95 new by the looks of it so 50 plus postage? no body screws btw but everything else intact, shiny and smooth
  19. I think the best sale I've ever had was meeting @Happy Jack for a pub lunch (which he paid for!) and nearly getting thrown out by the non-bass loving landlord. Music is all about relationships.
  20. The other thing about values of items you can genuinely have no idea what something you've had forever is worth. I have a friend who is trying to get rid of his guitar collection. Lots of very high-end electric guitars from the fifties and sixties. They were cheaper and better than new ones when he bought them in the eighties. Probably not now!
  21. I get you. It's interesting because I tried a used Yamaha BB1025x last Saturday in The Bass Gallery and switched off the bridge pickup and went P bass mode-warmth and punch for days I thought. Obviously not by you but I feel the Yamaha BB range doesn't get the credit I feel they deserve.
  22. https://www.thomann.co.uk/thon_rack_5he_eco_ii_compact.htm https://www.thomann.co.uk/flyht_pro_rack_5u_eco_ii_compact_23.htm If you need the moulded ABS styling then you might be out of luck.
  23. Stutter Rap - Morris Minor and the Majors
  24. I think Peavey amps remain static as no-one can move them 🤣
  25. I suspect that the 5U height specification might be the sticking point. IME ready-made light-weight plastic racks tend to come in multiples of 2 or 3 units depending on the brand. The only ones I have seen that don't conform to this are custom-made plywood with aluminium cladding rack cases which are much heavier. You may have to go for 6U to get something suitably light-weight.
