What a lovely bass, and James is a great guy to deal with. Sadly I can't justify a 3rd USA Spector !! GLWTS -
Sent you a pm Gaz. -

The DM610 is a large bookshelf/standmount speaker from renowned hi-fi brand B&W, featuring a well-braced 30-litre sealed cabinet with 8-inch mid-bass driver. The larger driver and extra cabinet space create a much better low end range than from most similar speakers. This model allows for either bi-wiring or bi-amplification. These speakers present clean tight bass response, surprisingly clear mids for such a large driver and the pleasant highs that the well-designed B&W tweeter at that time was famous for. They can be driven quite loud, enough for the physical effect of the bass to be felt without audible distortion or a sense of sound compression. Both speakers are in Very Good condition, especially for their vintage. All-original, complete with full grilles (one of which has a small hole, shown in the final photo). Only £125. Collection from Bournemouth BH6 preferred. Here comes the science bit… Type: 2-way closed, shelf speaker Colour: Ash black veneer Dimensions: 490 x 236 x 303 mm (H x W x D) Weight: 7.8 kg Recommended amplifier power: 30-150 W Frequency response: 70 - 20,000 Hz (±2 dB) Crossover: 2500 Impedance: 4 Ohm -

Cheap connectors are the likely problem. Are your cables equipped with Neutrik? If not replace them- the connectors, that is, not the cables.

I'm guessing the supermarkets will do what the government and various agencies allow them to, ironically given this thread they're business not charities

Both sets now on hold pending….but I will have a rummage around as it is always possible I might find another set in my bottomless string drawer! 🤦♂️ -
Replied.

My guess would be Fenders too. What is the tension like? I found Fenders quite stiff but liked the tone.

Does Your Covers Band Change Songs? What Changes and Why?
chris_b replied to Sean's topic in General Discussion
I've played in many bands where the band leader hadn't bothered to learn the song properly. Trying to get them to change just causes grief, so I shrug my shoulders and play their version. I played with one idiot who couldn't get the arrangements right from one gig to the next! Several times his " impromptu changes" caught me out and it was very annoying to be told that I needed to learn the songs!! Apart from him it was a good band, with good songs and good players, so I stuck it out. In cover bands I prefer to be playing the original because IME they never rehearse, so it's better that everyone sits at home learning the original arrangement and it's easier for deps to seamlessly fit in. -
Mine stopped working years ago...unrecognised by two Sony Blu-ray players and a couple external BD drives. I was royally pissed; the only BR or DVD that just stopped working.

Fair comments and some interesting points. It doesn't alter my contention that Tesco et al are profiting from donations made by customers if customers buy items at full price. Stores actually benefit financially from donating food that is at use-by or best-before dates, because they don't have to pay for disposal (commercial waste collection is charged for). Those dates are very conservative, because stores don't want to risk being sued by people who don't observe them. The first place I head for in any supermarket is the yellow sticker aisle. Some of the stuff I buy doesn't actually get eaten until well after the date and I'm not dead yet. Just follow the "Does it smell OK and/or is there green fur on it?" rule. Surely the nature of any out of date items put in boxes by the public is important. Use-by and best-before dates are a legal requirement in the UK. On things such as dry pasta and canned goods, they are pretty arbitrary. I have eaten things that, according to the label, are months or even years out of date with no ill effects. If the food distribution model in the UK is fundamentally broken, a good proportion of the blame should be laid at the feet of the mega-supermarkets.

Ooh. Yes I do have it. Haven’t watched it for a while. I will report back.

All the ergonomic benefits of a headless but with added sharp edges to keep the guitarist in line

I’ve been considering a passive TC Stingray for a few weeks since i saw one in the flesh. Fortunately for my bank account/unfortunately for you, I’m a looong way from Aberdeen. Looks stunning tho. Good luck with the sale. -
I've had three Peaveys: a Grind BXP 6, a Grind BXP 5, and a Zephyr C5. Both Grinds were 35" scale, the Zephyr was 34". String spacing on the Zephyr was 16mm, on the Grind 5 16.5mm, and on the Grind 6 a rather tighter 15.5mm. Sticker added for cosmetic purposes: The Zephyr had a slightly fatter neck than the Grinds - that went first, the other two later.

Does Your Covers Band Change Songs? What Changes and Why?
Dan Dare replied to Sean's topic in General Discussion
Depends on whether we think a change is needed or even whether, in our humble opinion, a change improves a song. The average pop song is not a work of great literature. It isn't sacrosanct. If changing it in some way improves it for your purposes, go for it. -
This, or the Bas Extravaganza Punk Bass would be the instrument I would want to bring to any gig where I was told to use a Precision.

If you want to try different flavours of sound eg drive, octave down, tremolo, chorus, phaser which can work well with different songs, then a budget multifx can be a very cost effective way to do that. A Zoom B1-4 is an excellent entry-level multifx, offering an excellent built in tuner, plus drums, looper and headphones out for home practice. Other budget multis e.g. the recently released Valeton GP-50 are getting some favourable comments from fellow BC'ers too.

I like that ..but not in sunburst ! If it were about £800 max and in yellow , orange or green I’d have to track one down . I remember roughly around 15-20 years ago this design and the cheese bass / guitars were mentioned in a bass guitar magazine . Inflation and rarity has pushed the price up somewhat .
