  1. I had a Hohner fretless Jazz years ago - white with a tort plate and a really playable neck. Sold it years ago. Stupid me.
  2. I’d quite happily play that, just as long as I could sit down.
  3. Nice! A really versatile filter this. I love mine.
  4. *Sigh* it’s always the good ones that get away...
  5. I’ve only ever had East pres in my Jazzes. Stunning sound.
  6. Yup. Jazz Basses with DiMarzios are a thing of beauty.
  7. OC2. Everything else is pretty much a revolving door.
  8. Or just set an EQ pedal to this:
  9. I play finger style (mostly) in a mix of rock, metal, pop covers and (only sometimes), Jazz. I don't use a specific compressor as most of the time I play with overdrive on (pedal or amp), and that compresses the signal enough for me.
  10. I like the ‘MXR’ style knobs on my builds; I’ve managed to get them in white, purple and green as well as the normal black finish from eBay. Wherever the build allows I likes a nice ‘chicken head’ knob too, but seldom have room for them without using bigger enclosures.
  11. Why not play more than one note at s time? 10ths are a great way to do this and are free. Failing that, my money’s on the EQD Tentacles.
  12. Rickenbacker. Sounded amazing through my old Ampeg but entirely unplayable.
  13. Up in the sticks (out past Todmorden). No bars, not even 3G!!
  14. Just that feeling when the band are ON. Those moments when you make eye contact with one another and your face breaks out in an unstoppable ‘sh#t-eating grin’ and the audience are singing along or dancing or both. Thar’s a great gig!
  15. Offer shooted.
  16. Yes, had a lot of physio last year and went back a couple of weeks ago as it’s still not right. Thanks for the sensible advice though 😉
  17. Welcome from another ‘20 minutes from Manchester’ member.

    DIY Effects

    Just discovered esr.co.uk from a link on the Fuzzdog website - seems really well stocked, and if their postage is as fast as Fuzzdog's then I might be onto a winner. In other news I got a Wah enclosure from the 'bay for a tenner this morning; dug out n old 500mH inductor that I had kicking around and will be embarking on treadle-pedalled shenanigans later this week...
  19. I worked up and down the country with an identical rig to this, never let me down once!
  20. OOh, a belt! what a good idea! Love the song too, thanks for posting.
  21. I was involved in s car accident over a year ago and my left shoulder is still uncomfortable most of the time but especially after playing. What’s the best strap to avoid aggravating this condition when playing?
  22. Best Jazz I ever played was a Blade, would love one again.
  23. Someone in the NW could grab a bargain here - little Fender practice amp currently at 99p https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fm.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2FFender-Bass-Amp-BXR-Fifteen%2F332642798127%3Fhash%3Ditem4d730e4a2f%3Ag%3AAbMAAOSw7I5a73Aq&h=ATOD5CzweE_7wqUsHXS1oURiLn6tTzzrABdmz-cEpO0FFppT1heKfRI1SYl-Ut2WuOBGQGi3Bj6zOOKjEyaVWhqSo9qJt2jRQJ172dQ5Ve5LXtE7ZQOgdSc
