  1. Past hour
  2. Differences between fretted and fretless are greater with slap that other styles - frets have a hug effect on slap tone - but I'd argue it's less a case of 'doesn't work particularly well' and more a case of 'works very well when used appropriately', one example for me being Bakithi Kumalo on the Graceland album (I may be repeating myself here) 👍
  3. I must admit I don’t care for the look of the Venture amps I think as a new design they could of come up with a nicer and less wide design
  4. I agree and would add Sade to that short list.
  5. The only thing that doesn't work particularly well on a fretless is slap. I "could" play pretty much anything else on my fretless, although often it's easier to just go for a fretted bass if I'm not after mwah in particular.
  6. Don't Stop Wiggle Wiggle - Outhere Brothers
  7. All great CDs btw. I'd grab the lot, except I already have them.
  8. Thank you. I could claim I did it to make people pay attention… but apart from you it didn’t work😂
  9. You've named the CD wrongly, is what I meant. 👍
  10. I'm not able to comment at the moment unfortunately. Maybe someone else on here might be able to chip in?
  11. I've just spent nearly an hour searching for a very specific  three way toggle switch online.  Cheapest ebay sellers in the US were asking 7 quid.  UK sellers online were asking twenty quid.  I found a seller here in China offering them for 40p each.  I'm speechless.

    1. Al Nico

      If the mission is to find the best price you've done well. Is that an LP type switch?

      In a lower cost item I might expect the spring steel to be lower quality.

      If the spring steel bends a little it might become wobbly and crackly in the centre position.

  12. Currently in the process of downsizing my live setup so this is next on the block! Temple audio duo 17 with red sides - a couple of the holes have been widened for previous configurations, in the end if switched to 3m dual lock so there's foamy leftovers on the top but this will scrub off! Included is the Harley Benton AC power supply with the temple audio switched AC mod for easy access Also included is the temple audio di mod I will leave on the led strip lights, just cheapo Amazon job but they do the trick And lastly it comes with a well fitted abs case For the whole package I've put £200 but make me an offer 😊
  13. U.K. postage is around 70 on Shiply so would let this go for £400 delivered Thanks
  14. I don't get the urge to make amps look pristine but make guitars look relic'd. I love the look of a relic"d amp. Amps have a far harder life than guitars on the road. This one looks superb. I'd leave as is. GLWTS
  15. Tempting, but too far away. GLWTS.
  16. I’m almost certain I owned this bass some moons ago. It was an absolute beauty. Someone will be getting a great instrument.
  17. Re fretless playing, it's all horses for courses of course, but for me, I play fretless and fretted very similarly as opposed to seeing each as needing a specific style/technique/genre - I often use fretless at rehearsal and gigs playing ostensible 'standard' bass parts, and always enjoy when someone says "I didn't realise you were playing fretless" (our keys player being a great example, I'd been playing fretless every week for three months before he noticed), which to my mind is far more of a compliment than producing lots of slides and double stops etc and having people say "I love the sound of fretless bass".
  18. Stuff arrived! However, the paint isn't quite as smooth as I'd like it, so there's a little more sanding/painting to do first.
  19. Today
  20. Hi, do you know if the classic 5 measurements match to a SR5? Do they have the same number of frets? Thanks
  21. MXR M85 bass distortion. Great distortion pedal in good condition. Velcro on the bottom. £90 delivered. Any questions just ask 👍
  22. To paraphrase Sir Bob: You gaze into the doorway Of temptation's angry flame And every time you pass that way You'll always hear your name... (and I could be in Manchester some time soon...)
  23. Agree- they were up for it and climbing up to get to the stage, whereas the lady captain was taken by surprise and didn’t look exactly willing plus unhappy after. He probably spoiled a fine moment for her
  24. this was done by tiny tone ...definitely send in the original to copy and for vinterra vi guards you need to ask for the screw holes to be added above and below the control plate because fender in their wisidom copied custom shop which has also got it wrong and missed them off from the original... squire has actually got it correct in this regard. I still need to add the screws themselves.
