  1. Past hour
  2. Some more Swingdoom; the tune is 'Swingdown, Swingtown' from the 1993 Wynton Marsalis Septet album, 'Citi Movement (Griot New Your)'. Recommended. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/swingdown-swingtown-wynton-marsalis-septet/
  3. Here are two fairly rare, well read and thoroughly fascinating Hendrix books. The Anthology book is part of the mid-90s they did for Hendrix. The other is a Mitch Mitchell authored insight into life with Hendrix. both have been read, used and stored so not new. I’d say they were Good condition in the antiquarian book scale. £15 delivered for both? Can also add a free Beatles Lyrics hardback book too if you want?
  4. Still only done that 1 gig in 2023 and literally only brought out when I need to learn a new song for the band which isn't that often.
  5. I've just ordered myself a new soldering station and am planning on replacing the electronics on this bass for new shiny bits so if you are interested in this and want to buy it in it's original form then now's the time, otherwise I will rewire it and include the original parts when it sells.
  6. I fancy being able to slow down a loop so that it sounds like someone has just turned the power off. Is there a pedal which will do this but without me dropping £300+ for a one off end of song thing? LIke this, but not as spendy
  7. Just seen this thread. Looks like huge fun.
  8. Thanks. Have another biscuit ! These are stunning basses in appearance, even better than my photos and the pickups / preamp don’t disappoint either. I couldn’t find any other preowned one’s for sale in the UK currently so this is a great chance for somebody to enjoy a magnificent bass. Cheers. Quent
  9. I did, and then had to explain to my better half why I was choking on my coffee. 🤣🤣
  10. Of course it is….it’s in German….:)
  11. Welcome. Nice Malawi tank, I think? That's a nice lineup.
  12. Great basses, fine memories of one of these. Kept it over my Lakland 5’s at the time it was that good. GLWTS
  13. Purchased at the end of March last year, in mint condition, used a few times but just not for me. Comes complete with genuine Boss soft carry case and Boss power adapter. Will also chuck in the USB cable which you can use to connect to a PC. £200 plus postage from the I.O.W

  14. Like if you have a number of cables running together, he found that having a power cable and an audio cable running next to each other. But that seems not that likely
  15. Hi Sam, If the fretboard needs replacing then it will also need to be refretted and set up, possibly a new truss rod fitted when the board is off. Modern truss rods are much better now, I got my luthier to do this on a few necks that needed this type of work carried out, one of them being a vintage Fender neck. Excellent job when done right but expensive Hope this helps

  17. Funny, I was thinking about posting some love for HB flats and searched first! Basically I concur with all of the above 😄 They have a mid forward sound which I found close to TI jazz flats - albeit a bit more mellow. Not much in the way of thump or low bass, very different from LaBella DTF voicing - possibly a result of being light gauge? They feel smooth but not highly polished. No “grabiness” like I’ve experienced with TIs. Basically an affordable, easy to play flat with low-ish tension and a general purpose voicing that sits right where you’d expect. I read somewhere (not sure if it was here) that they might be rebadged Olympias. Olympia do sell a 45-100 flatwound set for £19.99 on eBay but I’m too tight to risk the extra £7.89 to find out whether they’re the same! Anyway on the back of these I tried HB “HQS” steels and they went straight in the bin.
  18. Perfect for the start of "Blockbuster"
  19. Seems more complex according to this diagram:
  20. Beautiful fretboard wood doesn't need spots on it. That bass looks so wonderful.

    Vigier Porn!

    This French lady just jumped to my bed.
  23. @neepheid It's nothing taxing Matt. Instead of pairing white/red as hot on the Vol pot you stick red on Tone pot lug 3. Just minded, I gutted one and stuck a preamp in it 🤣
