It's possible, I don't remember if I entered it, but I know it was pre-covid. I recorded it while house sitting for my brother.

Was at Bonnie Raitt's last gig of the UK tour leg last night. No photographs, I'm happy to respect the request not to film or take pictures. Bonnie was in great form and the band were excellent. They were joined for a couple of songs by the support Jon Cleary who used to be a member of the band. Finding accommodation in Brighton with parking is next to impossible, so I went down on the bike and came back last night after the gig. 29 degrees on the way down, road works closure issues all the way back, but it was worth it.

Finding a 5 string P bass was a lightning bolt moment for me. You've got to kiss a lot of frogs. . . . but IMO when you find the right P5 it will be a keeper. I lucked into a Mike Lull PJ5 and it's been my main bass for the last 14 years. You might need to replace the pickups to get the best sound. A good set will be an investment. Also putting on a set of TI flats improved the sound of my Lull a thousand fold.

Seems that circuit diagram is for the Terror 500 mk 1 do you have the diagram for the Terror mk2?

Thanks. I think that thought was probably in the back of my head. I currently have some EMG pickups that allow some of this tonal variety but I don’t really care for the differences that much, but I also think I’m not a fan of these particular pickups in general, so I’m struggling to know what the issue is. I guess this is what sterling did with their HH models… should have got an HH! 😭

Selling My D Roc as it just doesn't get used enough. It plays and sounds great, but I find the fanned frets tricky when I'm standing because I wear my bass so low. Dingwall did an amazing job of fixing the common flaws with the Thunderbird design. It sits perfectly and has no neck dive. Extremely versatile with the pickup configuration too. Comes with very high quality padded gig bag. I repaired a chip and repainted it in matte white 2k, and it looks awesome IMO. The paint job isn't perfect, I've tried to show the bits that aren't great (some dust settled as I was spraying, and my masking wasn't perfect) It still looks great though, and is barely noticable. Collection or meetup preferred, but happy to discuss shipping.

I had a trans-white second generation Sire P7 Ash 5-string and it was a great bass. Fantastic sounding B-string. Highly recommended.

Refinishing sire bass and filling cavities

That kinda makes me like it more 😅 They're definitley going to be poly, so yes, you should be able to scuff it up and paint over the top of it. -
IME, while it is a great idea to have all the options available, in reality you'll pick one that works for your sound and then never change it. If I was doing this, I'd make a temporary control plate that will allow all the various options, and then when you have settled on the one(s) you like make a new one that just allows that/those.

Inspired by both new and old, the AfterLife has FOUR different internal analog circuits that provide 2 distortions and 2 fuzzes. Providing plenty of headroom and a ton of gain, these four selections will cover all the distorted ground you’ve got. While the outside boasts a lone Mode selection knob and a Volume control, there’s more under the hood to this one. Internal adjustable trimpots are available for all four modes, with parameters like overall Volume, Bias, Gain and Filter. The enclosure is 100% Solid Aircraft Aluminum Machined. The artwork on the front and back is laser-engraved, and each AfterLife pedal is 100% hand-wired and hand-built. Collect from Chesterfield or add £5 for UK postage. Cheers! Sam

Absolutely. Takes a swathe of inexpensive basses off my shopping list, sadly. But I cannot get over it since some Canadian on talkbass compared it to a moose head -

If you do not have access to above solutions, an aluminium soda pop can is a possible substitute. Cut some strips and use in an emergency.

This would be the most important thing on my list........being the totally shallow creature that I am. -
OK, I'll be the partypooper then. I liked the red, and it looks like a very high quality refin job! Probably wasn't cheap. That said, it also made it look like one of the earliest Rockbass series Corvettes, which came in several solid colours including bright red. So you did well transforming it back into a real Warwick again

I had a Fender American Professional I 5 string P bass for a while. Not a bad bass. The string spacing suits a switch from 4 string to 5 string and the neck feels very comfortable. I added a string retainer to the B string, which seemed to tighten the sound. The pickups as supplied were a bit "meh", so I switched to a 5 string Quarter Pounder.
