All Activity

Remember that "settings at noon" is everything but flat. This is true with nearly every amp. For some reason people believe that the "noon" setting is really flat. You need to explore the possibilities as well as the limits of your amp by turning the pots bravely to their limits. BEWARE: you may find new and interesting sounds from your machine.

VVT. And those stock from my Sire U5 are really efficient.

Yoy could even add another J pickup to the bridge position. Talk about supercharge.

The next question is: Who will take care of the BassChat to the next generations?

Sorry to hear so many people have been having a hard time. Take the time you need to be kind to yourselves and work through it. Not a vintage year here either tbh. My brother was diagnosed with stage 4 sarcoma, my mother in law had two strokes and most recently pneumonia. As already said, these are tough times when you’ve got relatives in the later part of their lives and trying to cope with the complexities of that. At the same time I’m getting to the end of my Masters in Psychotherapy and Counselling, and have spent the year helping other people through their own difficult situations. As others here have said, help is available if you need it. A lot of places offer low-cost or “pay what you can” counselling services, and organisations like Andy’s Man Club offer a supportive place to talk without the expectations of formal counselling sessions. Take care of yourselves and here’s to better times ahead.

I’m assuming it looks like a normal muffin tbh

Well, nobody in their right mind would risk putting an Ampeg on anything!!

Travis Dykes (Nashville Session musician) certainly seems to like the Harley Bentons (the second one featured on the video below is the five string):

The tone switch is Series/Parallel switch.

My birthday and Christmas fall within three days of each other and I was gifted this Retrovibe by the fam after seeing it in Bolton and commenting on it (not by any means as a hint; as a few of you know I'm selling my basses these days due to arthritis). Having been in touch with David it seems it was one of 8 made in this colour around 10 years ago. Absolutely immaculate although the pickups are apparently not the original fit items, so I will probs restore the right ones if I can find some. Interestingly it's a 33.25" scale and has the push pull on the bridge tome control.

Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight) - Ramones

Ain't Got Nobody To Grind My Coffee — Clara Smith

A Happy Christmas to you all.

I got singing lessons from t'other half. Could be a subtle (or not so subtle) hint. Never has a singing lesson in my life. I used to sing solos when I was younger in primary school and then I grew up or something like that<cough> and can now strip creosote off fences at 10m. Fish wives and RSMs aren't in it.

Only thing music related was a DVD of the Bob Marley film One Love. Which is excellent btw.

Here is mine ... Eberhart meinel ❤️

I haven't played that HB, but I have an HB MB5 and an HB Marquess and they are both excellent.
