The £300+ I just chucked in my account a few hours back was not ‘REALLY earned’

🤣🤣

Of course it wasn't. There's no money above the fifth fret! 

Nice friendly bloke. Bought my Limelight P bass and paid in full immediately. 

Good comms and will def deal with him again.

Was the "ripped" speaker cone intentional, surely he could have got that tone some other way?

 

Btw, I also love that tone! 

No, I think they were too skint to fix it it.

Well, There was four of them 

I dont use it myself. I gather it is most prevalent in mixing to keep things smooth.

A good example of overuse of compression, is the stereo version of The Beatles Revolution, where the drums are squashed into a compressed ball in the left channel. 

SOLD Thank You.

On hold.

A P bass and a ripped speaker cone. Stranglers bass heaven 😁

The transit van of the bass world - The Fender Precision.

Pretty Green by The Jam. That only had one note for the first few bars. This was quickly followed by Tomorrow never Knows, by The Beatles. That also only had er.... one note

Ah, The spent force creatively dude. 

Why is it a 2018 mix when its 2022?

Fleetwood Mac are a parody of themselves these days. After sacking their talented guitarist/frontman and filling his shoes with the Crowded Heartbreakers I lost all respect for them.

I suppose because they had the rhythm instruments all recorded together on 1 track of the 4 track  tape, if you wanted to boost a frequency, you would boost everything on that track. Boosting low end of the bass guitar would also boost the kick drum etc.

So, is this confirmation that the word "mono" means "defective" to Gen-Z?

The stereo versions of most Beatles albums are considered inferior to the mono versions. If anything, the stereo versions are 'defective'.

Coming soon. I,m looking forward to hearing how that sounds.

Do you know the nut width and neck radius? Ta

Its based on a 1963 Precision. I believe they had a 7.25 radius with a 43mm nut width. It is quite a chunky neck.

Lovely, and if hadn't have just bought an 08 Classic Vibe in the same colour, you would have sold this.

 

Best of luck with early retirement and the sale

Ow! my ears! 

I better call the bloke from Radio Rentals round. My telly sound has gone wonky!

Alive by Pearl Jam has popped in my head today. I dont mind, its a good song. 

It seems that the DVD/Bluray box set has been delayed indefinitely 

Nigel Harrisons solo in Atomic. Just an E minor pentatonic really, but I love it.

I wont watch the whole thing again, but I will cherry pick the best bits. The rooftop concert I probably will watch several times.
