    Love it. Had an HA3500 back in the late 90s/early 2000s. Also had a Ripper too which I totally regret selling despite it just not fitting my frame. Right arm felt so comfy on that big body but my left hand was stretched way too far to play a low F. Still miss it though.

    A Boss LS2 will do the job for line selecting - the input impedance is fine for double bass. You might still want further EQ options as setting your amp for one probably wont sound great for the other.

    Yep - as big a fan as I am of Mingus I had to stop reading it. It got to be more than self indulgent, shall we say. A shame. For the same time period (and beyond) I’d highly recommend ‘From Birdland to Broadway’ by Bill Crow.

    I wear mine on my right hand, just ends up clacking off the neck otherwise for me. For giggles - here’s my wedding ring - made by a wonderful ring maker in Dublin. Brought in a bunch of old Elites flat wound strings for inspiration.

    I had the classic ‘how’d you get that under your chin?’ from a punter one night in Belfast. I, a bit too forcefully, replied ‘the same way I’m going to get it up your a.s.s. - with a bit of effort’. There was a bit of a stunned silence from the band and bar staff. A few minutes later said punter finishes his pint, puts his coat on and as he’s walking out the door shouts ‘I’m away to get the Vaseline’ 😜

    Just bought a pedal from Alex - he was a gentlemen throughout - waited patiently for my bank to do a random security screen and then posted the pedal out the same day the money cleared. Couldn't ask for better. Nice one Alex.

    Now that IS a pretty little bass from Omagh (soz, had to do it)

    EWS Tri-Logic 2 or Tri-Logic 3 both can have the bass at 100hz (I think - 2 is fixed, 3 is switchable between 40 and 100). It’s the same size as the MXR but you lose the DI.

    The definition of ‘it if ain’t broke don’t fix it’.

    Nope, not one of mine - that I know of!! There’s been too many, I admit.

    Such a thing does exist. If you give Danny Stewart at Bass Japan Direct a shout, he’d be able to track one down. https://reverb.com/item/10656719-fender-medium-scale-32-inch-mij-japanese-precision-bass-1988-gig-bag-original-paperwork

    Do it! (O2 I mean… well the bass too…) Hopefully Arry will be louder in the mix than he was in the Point.

    Me too! Such a gig.

    And I’ll just happen to be in Armagh on Wednesday too….. just saying 😀

    Great version. As well as the original, there is a beautifully heart-wrenching version by Esther Phillips.

    I’d highly recommend going through Danny Stewart at BassJapanDirect. I’ve bought from him twice, both times everything went as flawless as could be. First time he sourced a bass for me, second time he shipped out a bass I had found, saving me a few quid on ridiculous shipping. Great communication from him too.

    Hi folks - selling a Pedaltrain Premium Soft Case, the big one that fits the Classic Jr, PT-JR, Novo 18. Maybe taken it out about 10 times. Excellent case - front pocket holds a GenzBenz Shuttle 9.2 - a bit slimmer than a Markbass LM2, taller than a Markbass F1. Brand new they are £139 but I can't find one in stock anywhere. Selling this for NOW £95 with UK postage.

    Nice one. I didn’t know about this. I have the earlier model and love it. Prefer it over the ones I’ve had previously - Morley Power Wah, Dunlop wah (old black model) and the EBS Stanley Clarke wah. My only critique is it’s small size (ironic, I know) but that’s just me. For some reason I like bigger, full size volume and wah pedals.

    Sad news indeed. Rick was a real gentleman - took the time to answer several of my noob questions in very helpful detail.
  23. Gareth Hughes
    If your ears say yes, then yes. Roger Sadowsky has said before that he can hear the difference between maple/pau ferro fingerboards much more clearly than between different body wood types.

    I have a CIJ Precision - a 70’s reissue from the early 2000s, and a Mexican Player Precision. The CIJ is pure comfort and tone. The Player is up there in comfort, the tone is a bit anemic at times - but it’s not a fair comparison as the CIJ has a rosewood neck and flats, the Player has a maple neck and rounds. All in all I’d take the CIJ everytime but I wouldn’t be crying if all I had was the Player. Both necks feel SO good.

    Hi folks - here is a brand new MOD Dwarf. Brand new as in one week old - taken out only to test, played with for about one hour. This is a Founders Edition model - I was an earlybird funder on IndieGoGo. Finally received this a week ago, but my plans for it in 2020 have long since gone. Unit is as mint as a minty thing. Brand new these are £444 from Thomann - I'm selling this for £400 posted - which also includes €150 of vouchers for the MOD store. Here's a little of what the MOD Dwarf does.
