  1. Past hour
  2. Back up for sale today...
  3. I feel the same way with regards to the deliberate ageing trend we're witnessing on instruments. Imagine being charged more for a new vehicle that the factory bashed about a bit! 🤣
  4. They look like the p pickup that was in a Vintera p bass that I used to own, pretty sure they are the same pickup as in the American standard p basses, decent pickups
  5. Sounds logical to me! Thanks!😀
  6. HA! Thanks for sharing!🤣
  7. I just wrote to them, this is the answer I recieved: "Shipping costs can vary based on location and package size. For a single thumbrest, the cost may be high due to international shipping rates. I’m looking into finding an international distributer to alleviate this. Also if you add two Thumb Fins to the cart and use code TWOFIN. It’s a buy one get one free." So thats someting I suppose..
  8. I've got it in my head I need rounds on my Serek. I was gonna get some Labella rounds, but I think I'll wait til these are available. Did they say if they'd be doing a 5 string set?
  9. Yes, as outlined in my thread; the lever just hits the body of the G-string tuner when its released, preventing down-tuning fully to D. I guess maybe your tuner spacing could be slightly different to mine?
  10. I'll definitely going to be trying one I think
  11. Wow!!! What a beautiful bass! both of your ACG’s are stunning!!!🤩
  12. walk, don't run - the ventures
  13. Ahh. Its an American product. If you put in a US zipcode the carriage changes to $4.90.🤣
  14. I would guess so, almost entirely UK acts!
  15. Thanks. Yes they are very very good.
  16. Have the PV’64’s in one jazz decided to try out a 70’s wind in my back up. I was so impressed with the PV range these Fender’s were a no brainer. Much more forward in the mids and really cracking for a more rock oriented bass tones. Using the same settings on my gear and sitting here A/B’ing there’s more drive in the mids compared to the ‘64’s. Great clean tones too and the tone control does have an impact on the overall feel in a positive way. Takes a bit of the grunt off! I’m wanting a more balanced tone between my two basses so have decided to swap these out as a mid gig change means having to tweak settings and I’m lazy! If you dig the Geddy, 70’s thing and want a more aggressive mid focused tone these are as good as anything out there. Comes with box and instructions and I used these with a solderless loom so super clean wires and period correct brass type bases which are unused. . Price includes uk postage.
  17. Thats nuts! Where is it coming from?
  18. Re-learning a 2-hour set of Dire Straits songs, on bass for 27th (Camp & Furnace, Liverpool), and on rhythm guitar for 28th (The Barn, Ringwood).
  19. thank you for the info! So, where is best to start, pedalwise..? I can pick up a TCHelicon Harmony Singer pedal for about £80, but will it do anything useful? Would I be better spending twice as much on a Boss VE-2 or something else?
  20. Yeah a bit odd @AndyTravis - particularly as the piezo has its own control, so you can mix in as little or more you like. You can have full magnetic (no piezo) or full piezo (no magnetic) and anything in between. The three EQ controls work on both. So if you preferred, you can ignore the piezo completely (turn it off). The quantity of bass players these days whose experience is that bass guitar controls comprise only a volume and tone control in 2026 is absolutely astonishing - if it was 1971 ok, but you’d have thought we’d learnt a bit more in 45 yrs lol!! Back then there were cars being sold without heaters and rubber mats instead of carpets, let alone any of the other gizmos we’ve come to expect all these years later, but no one in their right mind would accept that in a modern vehicle!!
  21. Suits a certain kind of voice.
  22. These look so much better with chrome fittings than the black fitted ones.
  23. In drop-D mode the tuner looks much the same as yours and is pitch perfect tuning-wise. Do you have a tuning issue with your one?
  24. This news nearly made me spit-take my coffee this morning. I've dealt with Sam a few times on work related things, and can confirm that his online persona is pretty much just him – hyperactive, endlessly interested in everything and insanely quick to grasp extremely complicated ideas.
