    I wonder if Alex views it as an attenuator rather than a volume for the tweeter.

    Well. Tomorrow is my last gig with the band. It’s a multiple ensemble show and aside from the big band I’m playing in a couple of the others as well. It’s definitely the right decision to leave as I don’t actually want to do the gig at all. But of course I’m not an @rse so I will give it my all. Hopefully find some greener pastures after a break.

    I would never buy the Four10 because the shape of it is too annoying for me. And it doesn't have wheels, and Alex doesn't like to fit them as it means strengthening the bottom and making it heavier. The Three10 is still a very light cab in the grand scheme of things, but more importantly, it's on wheels and it will fit through more doors and narrow corridors. It might only be a couple of kilos lower than the Four10, but it will be much much easier to live with. Even the height is better as it means less bending over to pull it on the wheels.

    I’ve just bought a ticket! I’ve wasted money on worse! 😂

    I want that so much. Dear lottery gods...

    I don't seem to be playing my long scales at all so I'm giving serious thought to selling my Sandberg TT4 to fund a Nordy. The 'Berg is a beautiful bass but if I'm not using it then it's not really suiting a purpose other than being a dust magnet!

    I really wanted one when they first came out. Never did get one though. Cant even remember what they sounded like!

    I think it’s an old Warwick head

    Thank you, kind sir. I was hoping for narrower. Maybe I'll have to give in and try one of the Nordy ones. I think they are 17mm at the bridge.

    Anyone got one of those cheap Gretsch shorties? What is the bridge string spacing please? I can't see that info on the website. ta.
  13. fretmeister
    Not if you fill it with cement. Ironically that would have been a far better choice in the first place rather than mixing cabs.

    It's clearly been looked after well. Funnily enough - while I enjoyed that 37 inch Low B, I'm mainly playing shortscales now!
  15. fretmeister
    I recognise that! Used to be mine. Glad it is still surviving!

    Another vote for Uptown Funk. But for the love of dog, play it on a 5 string so it has the low end booty. Playing an octave up ruins it. Runaway Baby is another great high energy tune from Mr Mars. Dua Lipa is a great shout too.

    I think someone on the fretboard forum was looking for one.
  18. fretmeister
    I don’t need another one, I don’t need another one….

    I have one of those. It's a great clone of the V1 BDDI. Better built than the Behringer I think.

    I am currently playing my dirt cheap (well - before my mods!) Jim Deacon P bass. I'm really liking the narrow string spacing at the bridge. The other shorties I have use normal 19mm to 20mm spacing at the bridge so the neck splays from the nut quicker than it would on a long scale. I quite fancy looking for other shorties with narrower spacing at the nut. I think the Deacon is about 16.5 mm. Does anyone know if they did a Jazz version? I'd like to have that option if I can find one somewhere.

    It just works perfectly at every setting without compromise. It's multiband. There's no volume dip and swell. It has an astonishingly low noise floor even at high settings. It allows the natural sound of the bass through - as clean as the Empress I had. I suppose that last thing could be a turn off for some if they want a compressor to change the tone a bit, but for me it's an advantage. When I have some funds I'm going to buy another one so I don't have to swap it between my pedalboards.

    I sold all my other compressors when I got a Boss BC-1X. I no longer own an Empress Mk1, Cali76, DG etc. That new Boss has been a revelation.

    Well, it certainly improves the grabby-ness! I used 3000 wetndry. I may give it another go with 1500 though to make a little more rough.
  24. fretmeister
    Such a great pedal. I love mine.

    I really like the tone of La Bella Deep Talkin' Flats. I don't like how they feel grabby on my right fingers if my hands are even slightly sweaty. This also seems to happen with other highly polished flats. Others, such as Ti, chromes etc don't have that problem. Instead of using fast fret or talc, I'm thinking about getting some really fine wet & dry paper and roughing the surface up a little where I would pluck the strings to see if that makes a difference. If I do that really gently I am hoping I won't weaken the string and make it more likely to break.
