So have I

0% feedback and member since 2021. What could possibly go wrong?

I also really like the DR nickel plated low riders. They’re stiff, bright but feel nicer on the fingers

I’m a big fan of DR Fat beams and buy them direct from the US

I understand that Fender branded strings are made by D’addario snd are quite a good price.

New York Minute Don Henley great Pino bass part. I recently covered it on a Squier Fretless VM Jazz like yours

That’s pretty much my approach with my Spectracomp 1 knob pedal too, and I’m very happy with it.I looked at all the tone mapping options after plugging it into a MacBook and quickly unplugged it and went back to the default setting. All a bit too scary for me.

My experience too Merton. I had 4x10 + 1x15 stacks for years as that’s what everyone else did. My 2x10 combo on top of a 2x10 cab does it for me these days.

Strings direct are good. I actually found it cheaper to buy DR strings directly from the US from a store called bassspecialities on EBay. I last bought one set in December, no duty, about £27 including UPS I think. I once ordered 2 sets and got hit for duty and courier service charge, possibly over the limit ?.

It’s a great album, bought the vinyl album when it came out quite a few tracks also feature on Phil Manzanera’s album Phil Manzanera The Manzanera Collection;which is also great

I’ve had one of these on loan from a mate of mine for awhile now VM Squier. I’m not sure he’s getting it back anytime soon. Love it! Recorded this remotely with some old band mates on it: https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/yeHHVyv3jDSPKFjC8

I recently ordered a replacement loom for my Mexican FSR P bass. Really speedy and helpful communications and a quick delivery. All looks very neat; a top quality hand-wired product. Having seen the comments and John’s feedback on here for years I was not disappointed. Dead easy to fit and the bass sounds great. I can’t put my finger on why it does, but it just sounds ‘bigger’! It certainly has more top end bite with the tone control up, and nice smooth controls. Thanks John

That’s really nice. Love the baked neck. What make is the body?

Thats really lovely

It sure is.

Couple of Strats: ‘93 MIM, a US Lonestar, a Vintage V52 Tele and a Taylor Big Baby

I’ve recently bought a UMC22 and I’m at my wits end trying to get it to work with Presonus Stufio one prime on my MacBook Pro running 10.14.6. it’s fine with GarageBand but despite trying all sorts of settings in system preferences, stufio one preferences and audio midi setup nada. Behringer support shobfar useless and tumbleweed from Presonus having sent them a system profile file. any ideas?

Thanks mate and thank you for all the other advice on here. I’ll let you know how it goes

Thanks Ray I contacted the buyer to make him aware that the postage would be higher, around £11:00. (Royal Mail tracked and signed for). He replied that was fine. I’ve registered with eBay global so will probably use that.

I quoted 4 quid thinking it’d be Uk but presume that I will have to get a quote and contact the buyer
