  1. Past hour
  2. I am a very regular user of Basschat and have always left the tab open so that I can quickly access the site. In the last couple of weeks I have been asked to sign in again on every visit. A bit of a hassle only. More irritating is the e mail following the sign in saying "you have just logged in from a device we haven't seen you use before". I have been using the same phone and pad for the last three years! Any clues? Cheers, Graham
  3. It's worth mentioning that the nature of social media algorithms and confirmation bias that nowadays everyone believes their views are the correct ones (yes, even yours! 😲) Platforms are designed this way to maintain your attention to drive clicks/engagement/ad revenue. Everything must be boiled down to a binary choice (hence not partaking in discussion lumps you in with whatever side)

  6. James is a darling! Not everyones cuppa but he has certainly worked for his success. And, I admit, proved me wrong. His relationship with NWR is touching, respectful and an extra facet of the act. My final sales pitch is that James has delivered every time I have seen him. Which sadly couldn’t be said of Norm’s previous employer…
  7. Actually it’s already spread to one of the screw holes, but I got some copper tape anyway so I’ll pop some on anyway doesn’t hurt.
  8. Probably the guitarist I gelled best with, musically, I dare not talk politics with. Which was fine, neither of us wanted to get into rows about things. But it got increasingly awkward when he wanted to share funny incidents (and he genuinely wanted to share, he wasn't trying to be awkward).
  9. The bass Is like new conditions...
  10. Thanks for your comment, Brian. I don’t know why I’m experiencing some issues uploading more pics. If you’re interested, I can send you a WeTransfer link privately. Daniele
  11. No one suggested they were musicians, I wrote that I wouldn't be in a band with bigots like them.
  12. Hi all, Haven’t played this in a long time and bills/back to school needs-must. Beautiful Taylor acoustic from 2008 (the 5th one built on 7th July according to the serial number). Excellent condition, a couple of very minor ‘impacts’ which I’ve tried to photograph, but nothing to write home about. The Taylor hard case is in equally good condition with all clasps working perfectly. I don’t have any boxes/packaging to post this, so collection/meet-up preferred. Any other questions, just ask 🙂 Si

  13. I don't know about the NW necks, but If you're not in a hurry to buy and want a top quality neck, check the prices of the Fender necks on Amazon as they tend to go up & down. A couple of months ago I managed to snag a fantastic Fender Precision to Jazz conversion neck (i.e. a jazz neck with a precision decal) for £211. The fretwork was perfect without needing any levelling etc, the pre-drilled holes meant that it was quick & easy to fit, and it has a thin finish (satin on the back, gloss on the front of the headstock) which makes it feel like a played-in neck. It came with a nut fitted which just had pilot slots cut, so it needed slotting & shaping which I had done at the Gallery.
  14. Oops, sorry🙈 they have been slightly trimmed with plenty of silk left for a good few turns to fit a single sided Fender J or P Bass Cheers, Tim
  15. ahh right, post is royal mail first class £5 or i think its about 4 2nd class Cheers
  16. The promo material for the gig put me off Steve, hence my quoting the Wales comment 🤔
  17. Every time I see Ian playing I go straight to the Mayo Clinic website and start planning a hand or talent transplant!!! 👍🤔🤣 As with all Ian’s videos incredibly interesting, engaging and insightful. Those bass lines don’t leave any places to hide and just show what a talented and skilled player he is!
  18. Great content? It would indeed be great to be content, but the Gear Abstinence thread suggests that it is a rare attribute. Nevertheless, we strive to be content...
  19. I have watched this twice now and although it is biased towards guitars, the fundamentals work for bass too. https://youtu.be/wcBEOcPtlYk?si=otak2Z475-79ypb- Jim Lill is a professional guitarist based in Nashville and although no electronic engineer he does use a vigorous way of testing things. His other videos on cabs and mis are also worth watching. Watch the whole video and post your comments on it below. Please keep an open mind.
  20. It’s a very good price for both.
  21. I've got a Stingray Special four string and it's by far the best Stingray I've had the good fortune to have known. The Specials have their own flavour of Stingray tone and I really like it. The new neodymium pickups and redesigned preamp are incredibly punchy. The whole package is well thought-out and ergonomic. Nicely built, too. Enjoy your new bass.👍🙂
