    Just weighed it. It comes in at 4.3kg on the bathroom scales (Sorry for the delay my old scales were broken)

    Yes, I do miss being able to pop into DV247 in Romford - was an excellent store.

    For sale is this MM style 4-conductor pickup that came out of a DiMavery MM-501 bass. Not sure who makes them but I think it's a ceramic magnet. It sounded fine in the bass but I wanted to put an AlNiCo pickup in the bass. £20 posted to UK mainland. Here are the pics:

    Last night we played at the Musketeer in Leigh, Lancashire. It's always been one of those gigs where the crowd turns up 5 minutes before the band starts. We had been talking to them about taking our long-established jam night there, but we couldn't get timings that suited us all. We did a well-received first spot and a lengthy second spot. We certainly blew off the cobwebs in the place. It was great that the 'new' line-up of the band was so readily accepted at one of our favourite venues. It was a bit of a special gig for us, as our guitarist's wife gives birth next Fri (planned birth) and so we are taking the band off the road during February.

    All seems part and parcel of having a sale to me. They know the rules re distance selling and so must factor sale-induced returns into their calculation as a cost of doing business. Anyway I have a lasting wariness of musicstore after the prepackaged bankruptcy they underwent as DV247 for the usual screwing-people-over reasons, part of which was about shedding staff cheaply and closing their physical shops where you could go and actually try things with salespeople who were generally real musicians, gear nerds and helpful.

    The bass part is made more difficult by the switch from QOTSA's down-tuned version to standard tuning. This one's not for the faint-hearted mate.

    Yes I will do that..sounds Phenomenal🤟😊
  9. Jackroadkill
    Remembering it's the hardest bit - and lugging around a bass tuned ridiculously low in order to play it!
  10. Woodinblack
    What tuning are you doing that in? I have done it a few times in its original, but that was when I had an actual tuned to C bass. I guess now I would just do it with a 5 string with the Boss XE on +1
  11. wright/watt
    Yes thanks, it certainly does, I'm a very lucky man🤟😊

    This date is now in my calendar, boys and girls. 😉

    Oh god, that reminds me, that song's on my to-do list as well. Fscking bricking it, mate. Apart from some of the intricacies, it's as much a memory test as anything else!

    First gig at the Merriott Social Venue near Yeovil last night. We were pretty rusty not having gigged since before Xmas and having been forced to cancel our last 3 weekly rehearsals due to illness and floods. Singer Kat still hadn't fully recovered from whatever bug had colonised her throat but we all agreed to just turn up and give it our best shot - including several ungigged new numbers. Thankfully Kat smashed it, the crowd loved us, the venue booked us for another gig in May plus their New Year's Eve bash - and a couple booked us for their wedding! One of the new numbers was No One Knows by Queens Of The Stone Age and our percussion was enhanced by the sound of my knees knocking together as the fear of what I was about to attempt took a hold of me. Fcuk the gig money! Nailing that song was what made my night 🙂

    Maybe a silly question and I’m sure you’ve asked, but doesn’t the owner have the original matching tuner from when they changed it

    A fiendish and convoluted plan I wish I had thought of now!

    Just acquired one of the above bases - very nice sound and the neck is lovely (for a P Bass!). The previous owner has replaced one of the original "aged" Pure Vintage Fnder Tuning Machines with a Hipshot Drop D Tuner which I'd like to remove (I'll never use it and it looks"wrong"). However, I can't find a replacement tuner with is a direct replacement AND has similar "aging" . Anyone know where I could get one/or buy a single Fender Pure Vintage (reverse) Tuning Machine with similar aging? The other option is to replace all the tuners with something which looks similar. Anyone know what might fit (other than the Fender Pure vintage ones)? Gotoh make some which are a slightly different design but look very similar in terms of aging. And if the replacements were lighter AND non reverse that's be a win!! Can't attach a pic as the guitar is at the Wizard guitar fettlers (The Guitar Repair Workshop in Manchester) but here's a stock pic

    Okay, after doing a bit of reading I'm getting a bit confused as to best practice to find high spots. Should I not be following the string angle on the neck and following the centre line with my rocker? As I understand it, if I follow the string travel I'll be measuring for a compound cylinder rather than a cylinder and it's going to give a false measurement. Am I right in this assertion? Any advice appreciated!

    Roundabout - Yes
  22. scrumpymike
    So my theory that you were faking it was wrong. I always thought you borrowed somebody else's bass gear just so you could come to The Big Fat South-West Bass Bash!!

    I use a Sennheiser XSW-D, which is a similar small bug style unit. The way I mount it, I made an extension cable that lets me mount the bug to my strap. In my case, the wireless has its own specific unit it clips into that gives it a belt clip, which with my strap works perfectly for retention. Depending on the size of the unit, I know Xvive have a holder for their own units that'd probably do the trick for you.

    Ouch!! Glad that didn't happen to me when we played Summer Of '69 last night.

    No cheap jibe intended, no part of the post ignored either. Saying you don't want to mess them around too much doesn't really overwrite the ultimatum you gave them, if that's what you actually sent them? Of course if you ended your email to them with "Don't worry about it though, you're cheaper than others anyway" then fair enough!

    Agree, I couldn't cover up that beautiful grain either 👍🏼
  32. Al Krow
    For sure, if that was all I had said. But you obviously chose to ignore the second sentence in that very same post? It's super easy to quote folk out of context, Kev - anyone after a cheap jibe can do that. They're completely at liberty to say "no", or to extend the offer should they so wish and build additional customer loyalty and goodwill.
