  1. That annoying moment when you buy a Big Muff pedal from GAK and - on delivery - you discover the box (correctly labelled as Bass Big Muff) in fact contains a guitar tremelo pedal. Grrrrr

  2. How much gear is too much?

      It also depends on your relationship status. 

      If SWMBO is involved in the decision making process its a lot less than if you are single. 

      If that's the case then there is no answer - or as much as you like.

  4. I never realised how useful fret markers on the side of the neck were until I played a bass without them.  Shortscale too.  I sound like Les Dawson playing the piano.

      Just realised that it has Luminex markers - flick and switch and they come on.

      It's got to be electrickery...

      I bought one of @Jabba_the_gut's micro basses which doesn't have any markers. 

      Stickers or tippex??🤔

  8. Having almost exclusively used my Sire V7 fiver for soul band gigs for the last few years, last night I took the Shuker out for a spin instead. Oh my god, I'd forgotten how lovely it is. I think the Sire will be gathering dust for a while. 

  9. I have a gig tomorrow. One of the songs we're playing is I Can't Make You Love Me. Question is: do I bring a fretless just for that 1 song (out of over 20)?

      Maybe use the fretless for more than one song??

  19. NBW:  Harley Davidson B550FL, new one to replace the Dodgy B stock one Thomann took back.

  20. Hi there!

     

    Local Hull Cover Band looking for a new Bass Player to replace current guy who has joined another band in addition to ours and is causing havoc with our gig availability!  We do 70's 80's 90's Pop and Soft Rock with some more current stuff thrown in too!

    For example:  Blondie, The Pretenders, Fleetwood Mac, Stereophonics, Primal Scream, Eurythmics, Patti Smith, Rag n Bone Man ....

     

    Contact Sharon for more details.

  21. In the entirely hypothetical case of a Basschatter who does NOT own an iPhone, exactly how excited does the panel believe that Basschatter should be about tonight's mega-upgrade?

     

    Personally, I'm filing this under "a good day to bury bad news". :ph34r:

  22. Wee bit of fret buzz on the Spector earlier. A tiny nth of a turn on the truss road and it's buzzless & singing like a canary again. God I love this bass.
