- This is Swindon. My suspicions about the BL started when after our first meet up, I happen to see that same evening the BL had placed an advert in JMB (Wilts) offering his services to bands with the exact same spec as the one we'd just attended! That told me instantly - this BL is.. as Lozz196 says "Said BL sounds as mad as cheese." - I knew from then on to be on guard. As martthebass says "...no more time wasted on histrionics" - telling self, forget, move forward with new crew So far Allan (the instigator) has a "little black book" longer than a Christmas supermarket till recipt! (musician contacts) As Beedster says "That was your cunning plan all along wasn't it! Beautifully executed in a marvellously Machiavellian way" - excellent 😂 I like the maths, got me thinking (which is the fun): hmm.. Booliean would be the option for modelling this...

Yeah, but there's a market for stuff like this £719 3 knob Walrus Audio Preamp (analog). Sometimes the good but limited sounds and simple form factor and build quality are more important to people than having lots of features.

Some Jack Bruce today from 1980; the complete performance of the tune 'Heart Of The Matter' from the 1980 Jon Anderson album, 'Song Of Seven'. A favourite from that era. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/heart-of-the-matter-jon-anderson/

In the 15" camp and requiring a crane to go anywhere else 😅

Some of these prejudices can be quite deep.

Better pics, and hopefully some audio/video coming, but for now, here's the bass with my 4 string ACG Salace SC E Type from 2024, both 31.5" scale.

The Dead Girls - OMD

There may be other issues - but your analysis of the trussrod seems right. If the string is hard down on the frets when holding down at 1st and 14th, then the trussrod is too tight. Before sending it back, it might be worth trying to loosen it until there is a 'just-perceptible gap' at the mid point fret.

I like the HiMass too except I found it’s extra length not ideal and harder to get very low action due to the base thickness. No such issues with the Gotoh

Holy moly

Living Dead Girl - Rob Zombie

That's dog wood - you can tell it by it's bark

Im interested in doing this exact thing, ill definitely keep tabs on this. One thing to keep in mind is the fretboard radius of whatever neck you get. Unless the pole pieces are height adjustable, in which case ignore me

Zombie Jamboree - Harry Belafonte

Not wanting to be awkward, but is the issue with the cab or the cable? Obviously the most affected element is the cab but the cable is the where the fault lies, as I read it.

I had a pair of these. Possibly the best bass cab ever made.

I rhink it probably would have been taken into consideration if he'd had plead gulity and shown remorse, but the charges were pretty serious. After we returned a verdict the judge revealed he had previous convictions, although she didn't go into any detail & I've not been able to find out specifics. Anyway after a two month delay for 'reports' (although he was immediately locked up after the verdict pending setencing) he eventually got 22 years.

I expect the irony is that if he'd pled guilty and showed contrition he'd have got a lesser sentence and already be out!

In the case I was on the jury for last year the guy was originally charged in 2021. So again over 4 years to get to crown court. That was quite a nasty one too, with the guy having pretty much been caught red handed on some of the charges. But by denying the charges and pleading not gulity at every stage he basically got 4 extra years of freedom before starting his jail term.
