  1. From your original photo, I would say it is the cable I highlighted in yellow (to the Jack?).
  2. That moment is included right at the end of the video - nice one 😊
  3. Has it got exposed pole pieces? When playing basses with such pickups in my early days, I was hearing strange popping/knocking noises. It took me a while to realise I was digging in so hard that the strings were hitting the pole pieces and sticking to them slightly, causing the noise. I have adjusted my technique since 😂
  4. Was it a misunderstanding? Someone thought it was their umbrella?
  5. Some good ideas there. I would add a simple looper pedal to the mix - great for quickly recording yourself when inspiration strikes.
  6. Not my story, but a friend of mine deputised in a KISS tribute band recently (where they do the full makeup thing and all) and after the show a punter asked for his autograph. He was rather baffled and asked what do you mean? You want my autograph? … Or Gene Simmons’? I’ll let you guess the response.
  7. @Muzz A Hondo Alien has been changing hands on here for not a lot of money just before Christmas - currently on hold but may be worth asking if still available if interested?
  8. I like the look of them too I bought the Hondo Alien specifically because it has an aluminium neck which I thought would be more likely to survive travelling - I keep it in my camper van. I prefer the look of the Hohners. I don’t know how easy they are to find, I think I was the sole bidder on mine 😂
  9. I have a Hondo Alien, which is a bolt-on (and weird looking 😂).
  10. PM sent - do you know the nut width and string spacing?
  11. These hardly ever come up for sale. Great, very versatile basses. GLWTS.
  12. I was there too! Student in Bristol (on international exchange) and that was the only place that still had tickets for that tour. A local music shop organised a bus+ticket combo and off we went. Great gig! Great memories! I have seen them many times since and I was at Wembley Arena last night too.
  13. I never saw The Ely Plains but my partner remembers the Lock Tavern gig fondly. We were good friends of Jan.
  14. Is the EU purchasing programme a fiasco? I didn’t think so, I didn’t see anything about that. The rollout for sure is and has been handled much better in the UK. I remember reading that the UK buys each dose of Pfizer vaccine for 28 (euros or GBP) whereas the EU buys them for 18 (euros or GBP) - economy of scale.
  15. Agreed. The UK will need to loosen their strict 30 days rule for this particular scenario. Given the value of the music industry, and with a bit of lobbying (as you mentioned previously), it should be possible.
  16. It doesn’t seem this way. The EU offered a “standard” exemption for 90 days, both ways. The UK said it can only be 30 days (certainly for EU performers coming this way). The EU said “90 days or nothing”. The UK said “nothing then”. End if negotiations.
  17. Why do you think the controls are at the back? Maybe it’s a leftie? And the, erm... strings... are at the back.
  18. I use a DOD Bass Stereo Flanger FX72. I haven’t tried many, got that one and loved it. I use it at the end of the chain after distortion/fuzz for some Cure like numbers and general messing about.
