    Latterly No, 19 was Argent's / Music Room before they moved across the street

    Absolutely not, but what are you wanting to achieve; a lighter weight?

    This. My version is, every gig is the Albert hall. Several times I've been asked to join bands because the band leader liked what he saw, and one of them was the proverbial man and a dog gig. Every time you have a bass on your shoulder you should be giving 110%.

    Would it be a sin to remove the gp11 preamp from my 1110 combo and marry it to a 500W class d power amp?

    And the 70's. I used to go up to Denmark Street on a Wednesday afternoon, to buy the early edition and get to the good adverts before the rest of the country.

    It's guitar not bass, but Peter Green's opening note on The Super Natural, of John Mayall's greatest album, A Hard Road. I think Gary Moore and Joe Bonamassa dedicated their lives trying to repeat it. Lovely bassline by John Mcvie too - blues but not a predictable 12-bar. One of my favourite songs.

    Occasionally Facebook throws me up some good stuff. New band discovery:
  12. Quatschmacher
    Panda were scheduled to exhibit at Guitar Summit last week but had to cancel at the last minute due to two of the team being ill. Here’s one of the demos they’d prepared:

    I get asked occasionally, do you play with a pick or your fingers? Yes. I can't really imagine not doing both based on what the song requirements are. There are a few songs in the current cover band set that I switch between pick and fingers from gig to gig. Crazy Train, Panama, Summer of 69, it depends on how I feel in the moment. Picks are so versatile, available in all kinds of materials and thicknesses and can give different tones, feels based on how you use them I'm learning 4 songs for an audition, they are: Saturday Night's Alright - Fingers. No brainer. I Bet You Good on the Dancefoor - Pick held straight/flat Mr Blue Sky - either but pick held flat (Carol Kaye style) makes sense to get the feel of the original. Moving to New York - 100% pick held at an angle so it slides on the wraps and gets that scraping sound. The EMGs + Haz and a DCX Bass make so much sense of using the pick in that way.

    I have tried at least one of this pair if not both. They are very lovely.

    Only saw this thread now so sorry if it's too late I play a Corvette standard in drop A.. the above advice is correct around filing the nut If that feels drastic, especially with brass, then just use a taperwound low string D'addario do a .135t gauge that sounds stable in a 4-string.. I use the NYXL and you can buy the string on its' own Any taperwound string around 130 or higher will do and the rest of the strings will fit no problem without mods

    You're not wrong Russ, but I don't think buying a bass is actually a rational transaction for most people. Particularly with expensive and esoteric basses, there's a certain amount of romance involved. It's significant that a lot of people have mentioned how G&L's major perceived shortcoming was a lack glamour and excitement, leaving them with a worthy but dull image in the minds of too many consumers.

    How are folks finding the MXR Synth Bass pedal? Guessing by the constant state of sold-outness in the UK and Thomann there must be quite a few BCers with them. On Marketplace there were 5 already sold and I'm wondering if that's a usual amount for a very popular bass pedal. Looking to get a 2nd hand one or wait til the new ones become more available.
  23. lawriemacmillan
    I agree! 😁

  26. Hammer_ started following Line6 Relay G75 Guitar Wireless System
  27. Hammer_
    All in good condition and perfect working order. However missing the belt clip from the transmitter. Didn’t affect me as I kept it locked into my strap. Hence bargain at £95. Can possibly post but prefer to meet.
  28. Kev started following Shure GLXD16 Bass Guitar Pedal Wireless System, with Two Transmitters
  29. Kev
    Shure GLXD16 System. This and its successor is easily THE best wireless system going for me. The receiver is a really solid pedal that doubles as probably the best and easiest to use tuner I've ever had on a board (the Quad Cortex tuner never gets used). The system has been gigged by me for years, always looked after but it's all picked up marks here and there over time, all cosmetic and photographed best I can. All is 100% fully functional and has never let me down, from small pub gigs to large outdoor festivals. The system comes in its original box and its power supply. I have never used the supply whilst I've had it, running it off a Cioks, however the supply works fine. Full disclosure, a bit of electrical tape may be in order just to cover up a bit of frayed wire. Few options with this one. £450 gets you the GLXD16 pedal receiver and transmitter in the box with its cable AND a second GLXD1 transmitter (sorry, no spare cable for this one) £350 gets you the GLXD16 system boxed with just the transmitter and cable it came with. £150 gets you one GLXD1 transmitter, if you don't need the rest of the system (again, no cable) Make sense? I'll include Special Delivery next day shipping with all. Prices are set on these really on these, GLXD1 transmitters tend to go around the £180 mark on eBay so the full package is the right deal here! Cheers!

    In true BC fashion, this thread is going deliciously off the rails. Two mentions of G&L in 15 posts, in a thread about G&L shutting down. Don't ever change, BC...

    I own 3 V7's (1x5 and 2x4's) plus an M2. I love em'. I think Sire are very good value. Wouldn't hesitate buying another. The M6 looks exciting and intimidating (in 5 string). Love to know what they play like?🤔 Have to say there always seems to be used Cort Space's up for sale. Folk don't seem to hang on to them for too long
