  1. This ^ pickup being too close to the string is the most likely culprit.
  2. Has anyone ever played a Hohner fretless Jazz ? I had one years ago and sold but I kind of miss it; it sounded amazing but was as heavy as a boat anchor!
  3. I thought about getting a double bass, but what with the price of Mr Sheen / Pledge these days I’m not sure I can afford the upkeep. ☹️
  4. Just a thought, should we not have a category for ‘Heft’?

    DIY Effects

    I mark out a template on graph paper, then tape it to the enclosure. Next I centre punch where the holes should be and then pilot drill with a small (like, 1.5 to 2mm) drill. Finally I'll go in with the stepper bit to get the holes to size.
  6. Year started playing 1994. Number of basses: 3 Music theory: 9 (ABRSM grade VII) Technique :7 Groove :8
  7. The vast majority of my playing is done on my fretless, but when needs must I’ve got a couple of others with those speed bumps on.
  8. Soz for the typo! 🫣
  9. Thing is, Ozzy doesn’t have to find £200M for a divorce settlement, the same cannot be said for Noel…
  10. One of my son’s friends lives closer to the stage than about half of the folks who have shelled out for tickets. 😄
  11. City of tiny lights - Zappa
  12. Vicar in a tutu - die Schmitts
  13. 20 minutes for Tool!?! I wonder which song they'll do.
  14. I'd reflow all of that soldering, it looks a bit.... iffy at best. The passive tone stack on fender style basses isn't in series with the signal, so if the tone control is faulty then it won't alter the output.
  15. Could I also add that I’d like the vinyl pressing of ‘Californication’ to be remastered so that it’s a bit quieter - I have to add an extra half gram to my stylus whenever I listen to it to stop it jumping!
  16. The latest remasters of the ZEP back catalogue is well worth buying the albums again - they sound amazing(er)!
  17. 99 Luftballons - Nena
  18. Me too! I think I was about 40 minutes in then left to help my youngest with something, came back to it and it's not where I left it...
  19. Thanks for posting, I’ll watch this later on tonight when the ‘others’ are asleep!
  20. Just got around to watching this - Jesus they're good!! Frankly there's just too much talent in that band.
  21. Thanks for posting this, I’ll have a listen later!
  22. Big Bottoms - Spinal Täp
