Whoever I’m in the mood for on the day. I’m influenced by so many, far too many to list.

Yeah saw that….. expensive….. but everything is at the moment. It’s weird that the full fat Gibson version (which is very expensive) doesn’t even have the pickups Rex likes in it…. very odd. It’ll be interesting to see how the Epi version measures up… I haven’t read the spec yet.

She was very kind to me, and had some nice words about my voice after the first thing I recorded on Radio 1 in the 80s. I never forgot that complement. Very sad indeed.

Clean...... turn it up, plenty of mids, P bass or Thunderbird, old school. Pedals? Cobblers.

My old Streamer was grim when I bought it. Also I don’t think the guy had ever waxed it. It was very dry and just, dirty. It hasn’t had much love, but then I got it very cheap.

Yes that would work. A citrus (acidic) cleaner will remove any surface contamination prior to coating with wax. I actually used Muc-Off, the same cleaner I use for my mountain bike. It’s biodegradable and removed the dirt from my Streamer very nicely with no ill effects. Also your assumption with regards to cleaning before waxing is correct. Overcoating the dirt with wax will just work it in not remove it.

The average attention span for a video (I know because I had an art related channel) is about 10 seconds. Many of those initial clicks have already moved on after 10 seconds. It’s a relatively small number of enthusiasts who stick around for longer, and most of those viewers don’t watch all the way to the end of the video. It’s a cutthroat game, making long form content, and as said above, Gregor Fris has got it nailed with Bass The World. The world is so fast and instant now. It’s frankly astounding to me that print is still a thing when it comes to consumer product information.

The print magazines became increasingly full of advertisements in order to try and survive. It became so irritating that every other page was an ad, that I gave up on all of them.

No problem at all, if you’re stuck, let me know. Good strings… Ernie Ball 45-100, the pink packet, great strings and easily available. 👍🏻

Fabulous bass, love it

I’m in Macclesfield, but I go all over the country for work. Where in Lincolnshire?

Ok, I’d be happy to have a look at it if it’s any help? If you trust me enough to take it away for a couple of days? Just get yourself a set of strings and I’ll put them on for you and give it a quick setup. Obviously if there’s an electrical issue that’s a different story, and it would need some professional help, but I’d be happy to have a look at it. Ibanez SR basses, all of them at all price points are great basses. £80 is a bargain if it can be set up nicely.

Whereabouts are you based?

Greg’s an absolutely top man. I bought a Warwick FNA from him, an absolute beauty of a bass, which I’m now very proud to own. Very very highly recommended in all respects 👍🏻

Alright, so for anyone interested…. The horn will not come back to life. The above information schematic says connect the wires one way, Eden say the opposite….. I’ve tried both, and nothing comes through the horn. The bulb fuse in the back looks perfect fine, all other components also look good. The 2x10s work perfectly, but the horn will not make a sound. I’ve run out of ideas… so it’s off to a professional to have a look. Frustrating, as I’ll be selling it again at the end. I hate amps. Such a mass pain in the *ss

Awesome….. I do love an Integra

So…. it IS red to red….

FYI

I think they basically film it at a time when they can get all the guests in one place at the same time. I think October November time is the norm these days.

November I think Dave said

STOP…….. ………Hamer time. Nice bass indeed.

Trouble is….. when the show finally does gets cancelled….. we’ll all start complaining that there’s no live music on tv.
