Ah but will the bassists all be playing the same note or some sort of chord/dischord? That's the enigma really

Met up at a motorway service station for some bass trading with Lee, an easy and pleasant experience once again. Cheers buddy, enjoy the new Bass Collection

Hawkwind on Friday, despite being a lifelong fan (the  first album I ever purchased was Chronicles of the Black Sword when I was 12) this will be my first time I've managed to catch them live due to a catalogue of various inadequacies

I wonder which one of us turned up on Friday to see Hawkwind at Bournemouth Pavilion a full 24 hours before they were due to actually play there?

Hawkwind on Sunday. They are so good these days,  totally unexpected second flush of creativity with assured and confident performances.

First time I've seen a bass where the nut is wider than the bridge

A revisit to this thread, how's things going @Count Bassy?

It surprises me that the ski-jump rarely gets mentioned in the dealers ads. 

Forgive my ignorance what do you mean by the ski jump please?

Wierdly, I just tried the same pattern an octave up on the A and G strings and found it easier 0-o

Played an afternoon show today at Warners hotel in Bembridge, Isle Of Wight with Duran/Spandau tribute 'From Gold To Rio'. Nice big room and stage and a great sound in the IEMs and out front 👍

 

 

 

Ooh, bit recce-ing for me, thanks for that Cetera, playing there later in the year  

Here is a Line 6 M13 Stompbox Modeller pedal with power supply. 
 

This pedal has a very large library of effects and parameters, a looper, tuner etc etc I'm surprised it doesn't do the washing up. Too many things to list but a quick link to the manual(s) is here - https://line6.com/support/manuals/m13/

Also comes with a slightly tatty but perfectly usable Stagg pedalboard case.

Collection preferred from near Axminster, although I do travel around the UK a lot so could easily bring it along to a gig for a meet up

Mr Harlequin74 changed his mind, so this is still up for sale

I see now that it is indeed that bass yes. Cracking little bass

Congrats! If its the one I think it is, you've got yourself a cracking little bass there

As would I...

 

me too!

bridge alignments a bit off

What's your take on it? Which do you think is the most compact touring case for a Fender P? I'm using Hiscox cases at the moment but cant help wondering if I could free up some valuable car space with something else

Cool as!

Lets have a look then

Not sure you'll find a free app, but if you do I'm all ears

I use Zettle myself, a small fee on each transaction and a card reader that bluetooths to your phone

Bought a wireless system off Kev, easy straight forward transaction and everything arrived as described. Perfick!

I've already begun to try to be "under par" for the year - got a taker for a spare cab I'm giving away and have a preamp pedal up for sale.

If only it worked that way, I'd sold a bass before Id bought a wireless system

On the plus side - that removes the temptation I had to buy it

 

 

You're welcome

My first time I've participated in one of these threads as I knew it was pointless in years past, so no surprise I've just bought something. It's JPJ's second hand Line6 G30 wireless system for my second stage bass as swapping one wireless between the two (fretted and fretless) Barrymored the jack plug on the fretted, so this is so I can have each bass with its own system/signal and save wear and tear.

If I'm not mistaken that is tier 2, so I'm still hanging by my fingernails onto tier 1.   However, more than happy for the Gear Abstinence Thread legal teams to debate the validity of my claim
