  1. Exactly ! You didn't go the ice cream van and ask for 'A 1100011 please !', did you ?
  2. I used to love The Cure. Apart from one album* and a handful of other songs, I just can’t listen to it anymore. Perfect for teenaged moping, I suppose, but these days it just sounds like teenaged moping *The Top, btw. It's a psychedelic jewel.
  3. Maybe have a word with Gemini Pickups - they're very helpful and willing to chat about special orders. I have a set of their jazz pickups and they're lovely. They also wound me a modded set of soapbars and some mini-humbuckers for a guitar I put together for a friend...all great stuff. https://www.geminipickups.co.uk
  4. My old NRV-10 has insert points on each channel that come after the input gain stage, so you can use that to bypass the preamps. Might be worth looking for an interface that has a similar thing.
  5. I hope it's digital - who wants smearing and, God forbid, tunnelling in that situation ? 🥺
  6. It certainly made my eyes water when we replaced ours and got the bill..it's an expensive business, but who wants to play bass with freezing fingers? And that temperature fluctuation sure plays havoc with your intonation
  7. I didn't make mine, I bought it from a shop in Stoke. So it goes
  8. One huge advantage over a bass. By law, this one comes with a full-set up
  9. To me, a bass from the year I started playing bass has much more relevance to me than one from when I was born. My 1986 Fender Jazz commemorates that excellent decision quite nicely
  10. All good thanks, hope you are too 👍
  11. Yo Big E. ! At 500mA, I guess it's something digital ? Give it the juice it craves - digital stuff can act strangely if underpowered. Also, it's not going to make your power supply happy.
  12. Reticent to criticise another's efforts, but I have to agree - I'd not be happy if that was my work.
  13. I've joined the club ! Incredibly comfortable, and sounds amazing...yes, a few fit and finish issues, but nothing insoluble. Very happy !
  14. The OLP licensed copies still crop up second-hand from time to time. They look the part and are good platforms for pickup upgrades and adding an EQ.
  15. Exactly my thoughts ! Maybe don't try and tame too much of that energy
  16. I'm not familiar with that brand, but those arms and the magnifier look like they'll just snag cables. If you can I'd get a more slimline station and get a seperate helping hands and magnifier (with a larger lens to boot !) (I have an Antex 660A which is great, but I appreciate it outside your budget)
  17. Here's my angle - hope it's useful...You're in a band, playing the instrument you love. You've had a great time, by the sound of it, over the last year playing you music you largely enjoy. Savour it and try not to let the imperfections sour the scene. Right, I'm off to sit on a a lotus leaf for a bit
