    Exactly. While the theory about dead spots is true (nearly every particle and shape resonates) the snake oil thing is usually too easy to add to the texts. Bigger is bigger, and more is more. That product page had lots of text, even though the basic theory is about resonance, a stick attached from one end. If you change any parametres of it (length, weight...) the system changes. One way to tune the system is to change the tuners. One by one, or all at once.

    Never had a problem playing with my (very plain) wedding ring, but having seen horrific pix of de-gloving injuries, always took it off when going climbing... Where I managed to lose it! Now I have a slightly chunkier ring (not wedding, tis sliver with black Iona stone) on my little finger left hand as that's the only place it fits. Makes no difference to playing (I do fret with the little pinky!), but then I also wear a strap-on that hand * * for a previous case of trigger thumb... But it's black and punky.

    Agreed. What a cool opportunity Daryl

    I switched mine to the right hand the morning after my wedding (for reasons of comfort and also because it was already getting scratched). It has been there ever since without issue. OP, your pick hand technique must be terrifying if it’s in danger of flying off.

    Blondie basslines are like ABBA basslines, sound simple until you try to play them 👍

    Yes, A3's Preamp Pedal is interesting, but hearing Nick Campbell play his Olinto copy of his original Precision on his song, "Fancy Jeans" (starting at about 4:05) is worth the price of entry...

    From that Amazon page, KZ SF10s are listed as compatible with the SonicFoam SF1 size. I use Sonicfoam tips, they seem OK. Degrade after a while, but that's the case with all of them I think.

    I've worn rings on my right hand for over 30 years now, and so long as what I wear on my thumb isn't too fancy they don't get in the way of my playing. I've recently been experimenting with the feasibility of wearing rings on my left hand, and again so long as they are fairly plain, not too wide and reasonably tight fitting I think I'll be alright. I have never worn a watch on stage. They just don't look right IMO and are not consistent with my on-stage persona. I've currently got a hand-me down Apple Watch and it goes in my clothes bag along with my non-stage wear while I'm playing. I do enough real steps during loading, setting up and breaking down at a normal gig to need 35-40 minutes of fakes steps while I'm actually playing.

    And in contrast to Pete, I been married nearly 46 years and my wedding ring has never left my finger...not once. Obviously this means I always play with my ring on and I've never come across an issue, same with a watch on my left (fretting) wrist

    Last night's rehearsal was difficult, trying to get the finale of Anything Goes to work. It doesn't help that I'm on guitar for this show, but the incentive to practice is useful.

    I've been married more than 40 years and never worn or owned a wedding ring. I don't wear any other jewellery and take my watch off to play. Can't bear anything on my fingers.

    Which is odd as for the last few weeks my facebook feed has been displaying a lot of random things, and today, this was the photo to images down in my feed when I got up, dispite never hearing of the band before!

    Since getting back from the Broken Peach gig my singer wasnts to cover their version/mash up of One way. Not sure the band are going to grasp it. Too stuck in their ways to want to be entertaining.

    Bumpy bump House move imminent, could do with this gone! 😞 offers? a nice P bass to trade for maybe?

  22. Beedster
    Sadly and with apologies to the BCer concerned I wasn't able to go ahead with the trade deal on this so it remains available. I think I might pop it up to one of the midlands shops on consignment sale soon as it's the location/collection/delivery thing that seems to make this a bit of a challenge to sell, certainly from the wilds of East Kent 👍

    I wonder how many readers of this thread have picked up their basses and started looking for dead spots. I'm not going to bother. I'm not aware of any and would be frustrated if I found one. Good luck with getting it sorted and although I've not had any dealings with Dingwall, I only hear positives about its customer service.
  24. Beedster
    Trades......?
  25. Beedster
    Bought recently as a donor for a fretless ‘51 I’m building but way too nice an instrument to pull apart plus I’m going with a slightly less trad approach for the build now anyway. Originally put together by BCer@kevin_lindsay who clearly knows how to do these things 👍 Link to sale thread with details of components and more pics here…

    I didn't have as much problem with my first wedding ring as I did with my first wife.

    I think that I’ve committed a Tier 2 infringement, I’m afraid, but I do have extenuating circumstances. The sound guys at church want us to try using in-ears (which I already have) but I’ll need a small IEM amp. So I got a little Behringer in-line belt pack for 23 quid off Amazon. I can only apologise for being naughty, but a big boy made me do it and ran away (to behind the sound desk). 😫
