    I wouldn't be at all surprised if the fingerboard turned out to be ebony. I think most of them were on the 320/325 series. The body is probably Sen Ash so the bass should be fairly light.

    Haha - now you might not think it misleading if your bandmates wrote their particular parts, but how about Elvis - didn't write any of his own stuff (co-authored a few)? Tbf he never claimed otherwise = full disclosure? And apparently audiences weren't too fussed?! (See earlier comment about performer / audience interaction surviving AI).

    As you get older recall becomes as issue, whereas stuff you played 40 years is still burnt into you. For me, at the start of anything new, I always went off rough tabs during rehearsals, very much a case of walking before you run. Tabs then go away after a couple of weeks and you just fumble through the next couple, then it becomes muscle memory. There's no tricks or tips here, it's just how and what it is.

    At Glastonbury a few years ago, Beyoncé was on the main stage and it was absolutely rammed on the field, me, I wandered off to see the rather wonderful Suzanne Vega on the Acoustic stage, stood only feet away from someone who’s music I have adored since the first album. Happy days.

    I was playing the garden stage at the Isle of Wight festival in 2011 while the Manic Street Preachers were on the big top stage. And it was peeing down at the time.

    Yes, yes and yes!! I've been lucky enough to work with a wide range of students for many, many years - those at school, retirees, SEND, those with greater complex and specialised needs and even groups of sufferers of dementia. I slammed like on your post! I'm also a fan of that lil quote by that chap who was quite good with science: “If you can't explain it to a six year old, you don't understand it yourself.”

    theguitarshow.co.uk I'll be there Sunday, my first music show of any kind, so getting excited already. I'm planning on taking my main bass to try out effects and whatnot. Anyone going, fancy meeting up there? Would be so good to meet fellow BCers in person.

    Full disclosure labelling. I like that! So for example: My Generation - P. Townsend (didn't write the bass line) Every breath you take - G. Sumner (didn't write the guitar part) Etc.

    I've spent far more than I really should on a couple of tickets in Manchester. They'd better play Dog Years.

    This 100% and as I was always told, its not the students fault that they don't understand what they are being taught, it just means the teacher hasn't explained it in a way that the student can understand. Its not always that simple or black and white as you do get students who don't want to learn or can't learn for one reason or another but the emphasis should be on the teacher to understand their students and their learning style.

    The designers are clearly heretics and should be burned. The website states that the pickups are custom-made by YHL (for both the P and J 5ers) but I haven't heard of them.

    Thanks for the contributions. On the topic of 50-105's vs 60-115's though? (Certainly, I can try tapes on another bass - granted).
  21. Dood
    Absolutely, one size definitely does not fit all - an argument often levelled at mainstream school teaching in general. However, on a 1-2-1 basis, if lessons are 'too restrictive' or 'hold a student back', then that is the teacher at fault. They haven't understood the students needs or are not experienced enough to cater to those needs. That said, personal drive is necessary for progress and if the horse doesn't want to be led to water or accept the water is there to help them..

    Trapped my sciatic nerve just looking at this, but it is aesthetically beautiful!

    Well the first thing anyone wants to do is play their favourite songs, but I don't think just learning songs is the best way. I would learn some basic theory such as intervals and chords, proper fretting and plucking and holding the bass(including minimising injuries), learn the fretboard well, learn notation(not tabs). This way puts more meaning to the songs that you want to learn, and you can understand why a song is played the way it is. Being able to transcribe is also a massive plus.

    PRICE DROP TO £420 due to intermittent fault on the Tube Thru button, I think it just needs cleaning but I’m out of country for 2 months and since I have a Luce now I just don’t see when I’ll use this. So button works just needs a bit of a jiggle every now and again, this is the button that applies the tube on the thru output. Nothing to do with the XLR out and that circuit. If no interest, I’ll get it sent off for a full service and maybe a bit of tube rolling, foaming in a peli and just have a bit more luxury available 😂 Bought from the Juan Alderete Reverb store when he had his big clearout. Had it shipped to the uk and professionally changed to UK voltage and the thru jack nut added (as it was missing/fallen off) Everything works perfectly (other than above issue on the tube thru button) and if you’re looking for a justification of why you should have a bigger heavier Khan DI, well these work as a passive DI 😇 you can also turn the tube on or off on the Thru (with a jiggle). Since arriving, I’ve taken it to the studio, done a NAM capture and moved it from box to box in the house.

    It's difficult to know how many have suffered from bad posture or hand/finger issues, or may even have had advice on how to reduce these health issues since acquiring 'bad habits'..? If they have had any modicum of financial success or media exposure, these issues could, maybe, have been addressed. How many 'unknowns' carry these, and other, 'bad habits' throughout their whole playing career (often cut short by physical problems, such as shoulder injury, or limited to light-weight instruments...)..? On the other hand, one may sail along in youthful ignorance and/or stupid hubris until it's too late and the damage is permanent. It's a choice.

    These are ideal strings for a short scale danelectro — I put a set on my blueburst longhorn well over ten years ago and they still sound full and punchy.

    Darkglass Anagram

    tayste_2000 replied to Kev's topic in Effects

    Not at the moment but the compressors are great on the Anagram, and this is what I keep coming back to between the QC and the Anagram, the Anagram has that bass focus so the compressors and octavers are fantastic, similarly the drives are bass focused. Doesn’t really matter, I’ll still end up with both. Currently the QC v2 captures are what you want for compression but the NAM A2 is coming soon and I believe that will have the same capabilities and it’s been confirmed the Anagram will run these.
