  1. People pay extra now for guitars that look like they have been dined on by termites. The stresses of owning and maintaining a 100% pristine guitar would not be worth it IMO. Just enjoy it
  2. I read that the lady who gave up the bass is now expecting compensation, even though her dad nicked it!
  3. I was a full time musician/music teacher in my early 20s and grew to hate music. As has been echoed above - I love it as a hobby and hate it as a job.
  4. Sounds like good experience for someone if they wanted to pursue a career in local radio or beyond. I would suggest that your reasoning of helping the community might be better served by another activity however!
  5. I think packing away your own equipment should take priority for all members - helps clear the stage area which in turn speeds up packing away of PA etc. After that, it's all hands to the pump to do whatever is needed.

  7. Anyone had any electronics repairs made to a JC bass? Tone control doesn't seem to be working for me. Would prefer to give to a tech with experience of the hollowbody electrics, if anyone had a recommendation.

    Peak Wal?

    They are a very dated bass. I get that people have memories of 80s bands playing Wals but to younger generations they are entirely antiquated. See also - Status
  9. Jerry Harvey Audio files for bankruptcy protection: https://www.lsionline.com/jerry-hall-audio-files-for-chapter-11 Not sure exactly what this means but surely can't be good. Anyone want to buy a set of Roxannes that are moulded to the shape of my ear?
  10. Incredible. I'm feeling inspired now! Thanks for sharing.
  11. Fascinating. Schecter valued at 6k sold for 415k!
  12. Hi all Selling a used scratchplate for a Fender P Bass I'm selling with the stickers included - they give it a cool punk vibe, can be added to or removed by the buyer if desired! It fits any 13 hole P Bass - I took it from a US P Bass. 3 ply - white/black/white Near perfect condition - some minor swirling only. Asking £5 plus UK postage. Thanks Danny
  13. As much as I am inclined to agree with you, EBMM don't really have much to do with the manufacturing of this bass bar licensing the design.
  14. The absolute state of EBMM's recent pickup alignment
  15. It's basically the September bassline innit?
  16. This whole debacle is very disappointing. A shim is really just to supplement a poor manufactured instrument. I'd have expected better from Fender's flagship line to be honest. I hope you find a solution
  17. I'm always surprised how EBMM get the pickup to string alignment so consistently wrong. Another G string lost in the mix
  18. We talk about influences regularly in our band. I often get asked too when I'm depping etc. It's always the same list so I just rhyme it off!
  19. Yeah this is what we do in my rock band. Allen and Heath desks have specific monitor-only apps (Qu You, SQ You) which allow each member to access only their mix. Very intuitive and saves a lot of faff.
  20. It depends on the calibre of musicians but I would say 3 or 4 per rehearsal is plenty.
  21. Mr Brightside is a bona fide classic now but when a band plays Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga or Shut Up and Dance I find these artists/tracks have not aged as well and you can see it in the crowd's reaction. A bit dated.
  22. I quite like the Rotosound RB45 as a budget nickel roundwound. They feel good, nice tension and very reasonable at around £18 a set.
