Nice simple wee bass part there Rob. Think i could manage this one. 😂 Quite like some of the Yellowjackets material but some a little too jazz for me. This one was just a nice wee song. Dave

Different tools for different jobs to be honest. I rely on my bass for the majority of my tone. However, the orange has a smoother, warmer sound as it has a tube preamp. Although I brighten it up a bit with different preamp tubes and using full-range drivers in my cabs. The hd150 has an ultra clean solid state preamp so naturally sounds brighter. Depending on which band I’m playing with and where, will determine which amp I use. If I’m using both, the MM does the clean channel and Orange does the dirty.

Have an older ABM 500. Which is way more watts than I need as I have PA support and mostly use my rig as a monitor, mostly. My other heads are 100w valve heads and they are plenty. The problem with the 500 is the output is barely on and so sensitive by the time I add enough pre and tube. I would love a 100w ABM with the current features.

We did a show with them. She brings at least 6 different costumes with her. Daryl

Hi I bought a bass a while back that had these strings on, they are much nicer than any I've tried on it since... Can anyone ID them? I can't find any info anywhere. Red silks at the ball end, purple at the other, picture should make it easier 🙂 Thanks Graham

I'm so sad to read this, she was most definitely a good sort.

Sold Bernie an MXR Brick. He’d messaged me whilst away and asked me to save it for him, which I did with no problems whatsoever. He contacted me when about to return and we had an easy and pleasant transaction, with excellent communications. Wouldn’t hesitate in dealing with Bernie at all, one of the good guys! Many thanks. Pete.

If Tomorrow Never Comes - Garth Brooks

Apparently, and once the hype wears off and more people get chance to buy them, as with other pedals I can see the price dropping a little.

World Destruction - John Lydon/Afrika Bambaata

I found mine had a weaker g-string but after a surprising number of adjustments finally got pickup height right. It needs to be as high as possible without any danger of clacking the string. I have a tiny spall on the headstock. Trying to play it a lot but seems reluctant to wear. The £350 case is lovely but heavy, and if it isn't on a level surface it twists and the catches won't open.

Ooh I love the figuring on the body - that's come up a treat 👍

Theme From Star Wars - John Williams

I took delivery of this one this morning. Richard Henry made the trip up to the seaside and brought it to my house personally. He had it advertised as a '72, and whilst the pot codes are 39th week of '72, the serial number is early '73, so I'm going to call it a '73. All original except for the saddles, intonation screws and springs. It was probably one of the grubbiest basses I've ever bought, but after two or three hours of cleaning and polishing, including the frets and the board, it has come up a treat. It's now sporting a set of Labella LTFs, the action is low, and it plays superbly well. It sounds fabulous too. The weight is an astonishing 8lbs 6oz, or 3.8kg. Richard has had this for a while, and I have resisted it all this time, and I even thought Brian on here was going to buy it for a while, but it remained for sale, and when Richard dropped the price for the second time in a week I just couldn't not buy it. I'm very pleased with this one. Rob

I don't have much data to go on when it comes to Ramjam - the only time I engaged their technical services was over 2 years ago for a full rewire of a bass, which cost £50, which I thought was pretty reasonable at the time. But who knows what it would cost me today, sorry.

I nearly bought a dolphin grey Aerodyne in PMT, but the setup was so bad I couldn't bond with it.
