Hello Somerset 👍😊

You'll never leave

Currently listening to Joe McMoneagle, remote viewer no.1 from Project Stargate on Area 52 on YT.

Only had a couple of hours with it, and just got in after giving the basses a run out on it, and yeah, glad I pulled the trigger. This a really nice amp, (and many a really nice amp has passed through here I can tell you). It's got more authority than my Thundefunk and is sweeter sounding. Close though. The TF really holds up well. It's got easy the authority of my Walkabout, but more defined. M6 carbine is more brutal and has more presence, but the Glock is really useable, beautifully precise. and made my basses sound the best I´ve ever heard them.

Re-watching the Metallica S&M DVD from the 90's. The footage looks really grainy and dated by today's standards but the audio is great!

c1979 local charity gig... Aug 2025 local charity gig... A theme going on that isn't just that I have the same bass on???

Can anyone recommend a bass stand for a Kbass, very similar to an Ampeg Baby Bass .

We were rehearsing for a big charity multi band event this Sunday. Rushing from work, I was shattered and our drum track edits hadn’t saved so it wasn’t as slick as Wednesday’s run through. However, I am loving my BCB-60 board and have rediscovered my 2008 USA Jazz bass. Once we got over the hiccups, it sounded immense!

yes only made 1996-98 might be 50-100 made FTT Bass Blaster is a great overdrive , I would like a try on their Black Vehicle

Belated thanks for the replies. After restringing an acoustic the other day in my lap, it moving about all over the place, and not having enough hands to keep it still whilst holding strings down & winding pegs, I decided that even though doing a bass is nowhere near as fiddly, I never want to restring like this again. I’ve just received the Hercules HA206 folding cradle. The quality of their stands made me want to try this. Whilst I’m sure the solid block ones are good, I like the fact that this folds down flat for storage. I was hoping it wouldn’t feel too flimsy, and I’m pleased to see there’s enough weight for it to seem pretty sturdy. It has little rubber non slip ‘feet’, is height adjustable and has the nice black & yellow colour scheme of their stands. Wish I’d done this years ago! Also ordered a smaller winder for acoustic / electric tuning pegs, I have the wider combined winder / string cutter for bass pegs, which is very cumbersome to use on smaller tuning pegs.

Hello everyone, I own a Peavey TL-5 Tim Landers Signature bass from the early 90s. Mine is in good playing condition, but the hardware has been changed (currently black). I would like to restore it back to its original factory condition, with the correct gold hardware (bridge, tuners, knobs, etc.). I am looking for advice from collectors or luthiers who are familiar with this model: What were the original tuners used on the TL-5? (I know they are open-gear style, but I want to confirm the exact model/brand). What is the exact bridge model and where could I find a gold replacement? What type of knobs and potentiometers were originally used? Any recommendations for sources (Reverb, eBay, specialist sellers) where I could find authentic parts? I’ve already tried to contact Peavey customer service without success. Here is a link with an apparently original model for reference: Peavey TL5 5 String Bass Active Pickups 90s Green With Case | Reverb I would also like to hear tips on restoration (cleaning, refinishing, setup) that would help preserve originality and value. Attached are some photos. Any help, catalogs, or experience from other Peavey TL-5 owners would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance,

My first gig, probably 1987. My most recent gig photo: Inspired by @Wombat and his replica pose/playing style, it seems my left hand technique hasn't changed much in nearly four decades! Another shot from the recent gig:

Anyone seen or played one of these? Apparently, all the money's on the E-string... https://eastwoodguitars.com/products/eastwood-the-sandman-2-string-bass?srsltid=AfmBOooeuftkRxv9OB_YanEqAVfXff4y82cr7_ZcO7ZM4XeZ3iAo9Ne9#case-fit

I set my car stereo volume to 11, 17 or 23 just to annoy people like you 🤣

This seriously needs a deluxe reissue. There's a lot of stuff that could be bundled with this to fill up another two CDs. 'By The Time We Got to Woodstock', demos, the live B-sides.

Is that you in the pic (on El Cap)?

Go and find one then. The night is still young!

1st is from '78 - earliest picture on my i-pad. 19 at that time 2nd is from June this year, making me 66
