  1. Past hour
  2. Can't go wrong for the money,i have one and I love the tone, and the fret boards on these are superb GLWTS.
  3. Congrats, beautiful basses. I have a custom shop Super PJ and it's a wonderful instrument.
  4. Their Prestige bag is described as "Gewa-Tex" which sounds to me like an expensive way to describe nylon while making people think that it's Gore-Tex. What is yours actually made of (in the real world, not the marketing blurb)?
  5. Sounds like you've been really unlucky.
  6. I transport ‘Lilly’ in a Gewa Prestige bag, which seems to be well built and robust for the price (I paid £170 from Thomann).
  7. These were a big deal in the unplugged era of the ‘90s . Bargain ! Glwts
  8. I had a very quick look at the Songster tab earlier today, and at the Chords on Ultimate Guitar. I must say, I was having trouble marrying the two together.
  9. Yeah I like that one too rob, I don’t think it’s a bad price either compared with some that are around
  10. That's a beautiful moment.
  11. Really good to know. Hope the affair blooms into a long and loving relationship!
  12. Lovely bass. Looks great in the video. If you can access Fender Japan's site. these are currently available as part of their MIJ Heritage Series.
  13. I really like the vibe of this '66 Precision that Mike Long has at the moment. It's tempting me to try a C neck again. It's all there, all original, even the case, and the weight is great. I have a guitar here which he would probably straight trade for........ hmm. https://www.atbguitars.com/1966-fender-precision-bass Rob
  14. Looking at the pics, they appear to be short and curlies.
  15. My girl - The Temptations
  16. Thomastik Jazz flatwounds 6-string set (i.e. a 5-string set with an extra top C). I bought these off here in the hope they would fit either a body-thru 34" or a 35" scale bridge loading bass, but unfortunately they were too long for both. They apparently fit multi-scale/fan fret basses like Dingwalls etc, and would probably fit a body-thru 35" scale bass. Specs here: https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/thomastik-infeld-jazz-flat-wound-super-long-scale/ THESE WILL NOT FIT A 'STANDARD' 34" SCALE BASS! £35 posted (or happy to listen to offers?)
  17. Rotosound Tru-Bass Tapewound 5-string set. Put on my fretless but just can't get on with tapewounds. Cut for 3/2 headstock, but 35" scale so should be lots left. £35 posted?
  18. Bruce Springsteen’s breakthrough album celebrated in words and pictures in this large-format classic. Slip cased, sealed and perfect. Very hard to take photos without opening it, but heres a link to pics: https://exhibitionsinternational.be/9780760391730-bruce-springsteen-and-born-to-run-50-years £38 new, yours for £22 posted UK.
  19. LaBella Ian Martin Allison Signature Super Polished 5-string set for sale. Bought these recently, just not the sound I was going for (at all!). They're much more like bright stainless rounds than flats. Specs here: https://www.labella.com/product/asp-45125-ian-martin-allison-signature-strings-5-string-set/ Used for a bit of noodling, a couple of practices and one gig. They're cut for a 4/1 headstock 34" scale bass, but loads left on the silks. £40 posted?
  20. Looking to sell this set of Fender Custom Shop 60's Jazz Pickups. They are in great condition, and the wire hasn't been trimmed at all from new. Price includes UK postage. PM me if you have any questions
  21. Today
  22. Ive always used a pick. Not proud of it, it's a habit I can't get out of. After 30+ years ive settled on using 1.52mm most of the time. Those EB large shield ones seem to work for me as they are quite grippy. I do very occasionally use a felt or leather pick, but only for certain songs. Always struggled with tone though. A BDDI went a long way for a couple of decades, but just recently I got an EBS Microbass 3 (and a Nux preamp). Both have sweepable mids and both have been a real eyeopener. I think in someways the BDDI was working as it was reducing some of the attack, but now I realise I was losing too much of the basses natural tone as well.
  23. Once you get beyond promoting your next gig or your mates mates posting their holiday snaps most social media is fakery to some extent. Whether it's lifestyle influencers faking an idyllic, carefree existence or the fitness fanatics who enthuse about a healthy lifestyle while neglecting to mention their own heroic steroid intake, or the straight up thieves trying to steal your money with crypto scams. Even most of the funny animal clips are clearly staged. Add in that posting content can also be highly lucrative and it's not that suprising that a lot of content creators don't seem to know or much care where the moral boundary is between presenting the best version of yourself and outright deception. I'm not sure a lot of the audience it's aimed at is that bothered either, right up to the moment the outrage bandwagon starts rolling.
  24. I find between 1mm and 3mm about the best gauge for me
  25. Yeah - just sorting postage etc
