Do my eyes deceive me here?

Just saw Chas & Dave in Brighton. It's been said on here before as I remember, but Dave Peacock is a fantastic player. Beautiful lines & effortless execution. That is all.

... ehm ... it said ... "show" .... Here we are:

We’ve never had a single issue in over 10 years. There will be no policy change. Thank you for playing ped

Perhaps the Christmas break has impaired your recollection of events during the course of this year. For indeed, you have form for jumping into sales threads to point out logo transgressions: Prior to the 'triggering' incident of a week or two ago, you commented in a sales thread in October: Ped replied to you saying: On June 18th you replied to an ad for a bitsa Jazz saying: Then on Jan 17th you expatiated in a more general sense on logos: THAT! There are so many fake/counterfeit "Fender"s around, selling with a "Fender" logo is dishonest, just waiting for some poor mug to buy one thinking they've got the real thing. (I also think Fender have muddied the waters a bit by branding Squiers as "Squier by Fender", so that people can advertise them as Fenders. Funnily enough, only three days before you had described taking delivery of a Rickenfaker with a fake Ric logo. Fair play for removing it as you did. But surely in buying it you were party to a transaction where intellectual copyright was infringed. So basically, you want to stop people selling basses with fake logos but it's OK for you to buy one? I put it to you that your unhappiness with fake logos in sales ads is nothing new. You have repeatedly broken forum rules by posting in sales threads where you should have PM'd. You have already had a discussion about fake logos with one of the forum's owners who has made his position clear. I suggest that far from being a spontaneous expression of concern you started this thread in an attempt to change forum policy. You want to stop people selling items with fake logos but you're happy to buy them. Shall I go on?

I found some yellow LEDs lying around in my toolbox and was a bit bored this afternoon so.....

Yes! Let's hope 1967 is a good one!

LSD in the punch.

Limelight 62-ish Jazz. Bought from someone who knew it wasn't a real Fender, sold to me who knew it wasn't a real Fender, then sold it on to someone who kew it wasn't a real Fender. Such a trail of destruction.. so many suffering kittens and puppies. I'm going to hell.

How about something like a Sandberg VM? I can cover a lot of ground with this one. A pre-loved one would be within your budget.

But not good for jazz. I’ve only recently been forgiven for wearing a red jacket.

Must be some new meaning of the word 'microscopic' I wasn't aware of. Mods are busy enough as it is. One item per day? Is that the number of 'misdemeanours' you're expecting? How did you arrive at this number? There is no significant gain in not providing a platform for the sale of illegal goods, because no illegal goods are sold here. I have a great idea about how to make 'this' a better place to be, but forum rules preclude my posting it.

How am I supposed to look at my fretting hand and a music stand at the same time?

And it's finished...holy fecking crap!

I sold this because I don't 'do' relic'd basses. Big mistake. A Fender? No.

Welcome AmsterdamAsh.

Welcome SnakeEyes.

I think i'll message him, worth a punt......Japanese workmanship is pretty spot on. Manchester is only an hour from me.

Good evening, SE, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Much as Cameronj says. With mine I find the best setting for me involves me using the last third of the voice control in order to keep the large amount of low end I use. Im a p bass guy as well, and once I found the sound in my rig ( Marshall DBS 7400 and 2 cabs ) it has stayed around 😉😉

I'm sure I'll agree with you if I can ever get out of this damn mirror...

Standard up/down sweep, and step filter/auto-wah all in one box. Really squelchy too.

In which case you could put a behringer model D in there, and we would be back to the start!

Any genre, any style. Just share the album which stood out to you this year (edit: which was released in 2017) For me, it was unexpectedly The Desaturating Seven by Primus. I didn't like the prerelease songs much but the record as a whole has sucked me in completely. Claypool always does the unexpected but this one really took me by surprise and won me over in a big way. Over to you guys. Hopefully this will introduce some people to some gems!

When you go to Hell can I have the Lindisfarne gig?

Ive just got a p7 5er to go with my v7 I will gig it tonight

On top of which, he does have magical powers. Woe betide those who deign to cross his path when he's wearing his pointy hat.

Fair comment, I'll check that out when the time comes, thank you. Oh wait, the time has come...

I've got to that age where I have to check ten times that I've actually put a bass in the van before setting off to each gig!

I'm with SteveK in principle. But if I were a jazz guy I'd use a stand, if only to let the audience know that what I'm playing isn't just a load of random old crap I'm making up as I go along.

Thanks John!

GPPH_2 - Full Score.pdf Here you go.

Thunderbolt 2 and 3 use different connections. TB 2 is over Apple display port, and TB3 is over USB-C. As such, the current TB2 to FW800 won't work for you on its own. Si

I am a big fan of Schecter (well, at least the C4 that is my main bass). These new ones look very cool, will be interested to see how they go down.

For immediate release: The Logo Police are pleased to announce the appointment of Mrs Larly Crudgington as Commissioner for Fake Logos with special responsibility for the letter F. Mrs Crudgington will commence her duties on Jan 2nd and will immediately address the issue of counterfeit FMIC (Fender) logos in the private sales sector. Addressing a gathering of her fellow Commisioners, Mrs Crudgington said: "I am deeply concerned at the rising incidence of fake Fender logos. There are literally thousands of recorded instances of death and serious injury associated with Squier Affinity instruments being sold as the kosher item. Knock knock, who's there? It's Larly C, so felons beware".

Allen and Heath PA12 has a mono sub out. They often turn up used. Decent eq and onboard fx.

Play it with anything you like, no rules. Just add tone knob to taste

My acoustic short scale fretless bass. My goal was to build an acoustic that was as loud as possible without amplification. I failed. It isn't loud (enough). But I do enjoy playing it once in a while.

Took charge of these two last night Wishbass Lobes, previously owned by @Billy Apple One's ambrosia maple and other is bloodwood. Never owned a single cut before so why not start with 2 Very thick necks on them but surprisingly comfortable. Wish basses come in a fairly raw state so some sanding and filling will get done.

Can ya move that lot mate - I can't see the telly.

I really like these.

Man I hate this. They have it on SBL. Hopefully it will be ok here (with the higher average age.) It all gets stupid when quantity of likes gets taken as a member rank. SBL even posts who got most likes in the past month... urghhh. Can we please establish here and now. I'm an unsociable got and I don't like anyone.

Currently, the top half of this: Preceded by this: And this - which in a case of brutal irony, I sold because I thought it was too heavy! Had a beautiful (and lightweight) Japanese Ibanez SR800FL prior to that, which I didn't get on with due to lack of cheat lines. What did I do with that? Swapped it for a Peavey T-40. Not sure what it is with me & back-breaking boat anchors.
