  1. Past hour
  2. And so it shall be written, and so it shall be done... Now it has a kill switch. Right, top work everyone, let's get it back together and have a cup of tea... Only kidding, now I can't put off routing any longer...
  3. I've seen a lot of well attended local gigs the last month or so.
  4. I can lend you a butter knife and you could go at it like Jaco, if you like.
  5. Ha ha! And you're still Happy, Jack!
  6. It’s the age-old ‘what sounds good solo sounds shit in the mix’ and vice versa thing. The groove and timing in the track are extraordinary
  7. Yep - these are fantastic combos and at £200, and absolute bargain as you say @binky_bass. On top of everything else, the twin channels feature is so useful ; at gigs I used one channel to eq my 4sting bass and the other for my 5 string bass. I'm pretty sure I bought mine on here from @crez5150 about 2008/9 and I gigged it extensively across Sussex for a number of years. Happy days indeed! GLWTS 👍😊
  8. The guy who engineered the track reckons quite a bit of work was needed to 'fix' Flea's original track in the final mix. https://www.guitarworld.com/features/why-fleas-bass-track-had-to-be-fixed-in-the-mix-on-alanis-morissettes-hit-record Recollections tend to vary on these things, but he sounds plausible.
  9. It wasnt me - Shaggy
  10. There ain’t a problem I can’t fix Cos I can do it in the mix…. Reassuring that there’s a Flea bassline I can play as well as Flea 👍
  11. I don’t think so as the the CS logo on the back of the headstock is untouched
  12. Lovely gig at the Victory Club in Barton (on Humber) last night. Didn’t expect a packed house at this time of year so was shocked at the great attendance. Up and dancing from the second number in the first spot which was appreciated and made the gig fly by. The motorway gods were reasonably kind also as a threatened M180 closure failed to materialise - bonus. We’re continuing the East of England theme next week with an outdoor gig in Withernsea, hope the weather is compliant.
  13. This kit looks amazing, but may I ask you: what persuaded you to go the H & K route?
  14. I tried one of these out around 15 years ago and still strikes me as one of the best looking instruments I've seen. I could be tempted to buy or trade one of these if anybody was selling.
  15. I’ll have to withdraw on medical grounds unless my neurologist pulls his finger out and gives me an appointment unmedicated I am not allowed to drive too far. He’s isn’t quite sure but suspects a form of narcolepsy and has put it all off “until the next appointment” which is yet to be booked
  16. This was on my board for a few years, never let me down but just fancied a change so I’ve got a boss chorus on the board now. The toneprint options make it a pretty versatile pedal, found myself mostly using the Duff McKagan toneprint. No original box for this unfortunately but will be packaged securely. Price includes postage in the UK, cheers
  17. Got this in a trade on here recently but it’s just not got much use. Between the green Russian and the grey stache that I own I have my fuzz needs covered. This one is two big muffs running in parallel, one of them has a standard tone control, the other has a mid boost/cut. Certainly a lot to play with and a lot of sounds to be gotten out of it! No original box with this but will be packaged securely. Price will include postage in the UK
  18. The one in The Gallery is a nice thing. I tried it the other day. Thin neck, nice tone, looks the part. My reservation is that I think it might be a bit pricey for what it is. But I guess the gallery has overheads that we don't. Your shortscale will undoubtedly be nicer to play, and what with these both being quite 'thumpy' semi acoustic basses, I doubt the scale length will make any real diff to the tone. GLWTS!
  19. It’s amazing how that rattly driven tone sounds so warm & rounded in the mix.
  20. It's All Your Fault — Diana Ross & The Supremes
  21. An absolute belter! I find the finish definition stunning.
  22. Don't Blame Me - Slade
  23. I Won't Take The Blame - Del Amitri
  24. Alas, poor Nate has gone. It was a lovely bass, but I don't gig Precisions. It's not my sound. So here's another Jazz bass... Previous owner has added a Parallel/Series switch (like Fender's original S1 switching), quite why, I have no idea. Also a Leo Quan BadAss II bridge, which is an excellent choice, although I'd have preferred the Fender American Standard/Professional bridge with the through body stringing. I guess you can't have everything. Liking the Shell Pink finish and the Pure Vintage 64 pickups (same as my American Original), but the relic job is VERY heavy handed. Then again, I could've been playing it since 1961 (eight years before I was born... 🤔) *Server is being weird about photo sizes today, so here's a link to the others... https://share.icloud.com/photos/0196nGcqDRf9tRKzrAQd7Busw

  25. I have a Hohner B2. The leg rest works fine. Don't underestimate the passive humbuckers, they are incredible. Better than the Select by EMG pickips on my Jack V.
