v nice - similar ish sort of stylewise to emily's devolution

you can get the pre-loved - i managed to purchase two sets from this very website but they dont pop up very often mr wizard retired and just closed everything down but the designs and tools and jigs and everything were bought up on proviso that new company started out with a new name i believe - hot rods - so basically the hot rods guys are making the same product with the same designs to the same spec with the same manufacturing tools ps my search for the elusive powerful active jazz setup was rudely upset when i purchased a vm Precision and dropped a wizard thumper in it - never imagined that a passive setup would sound fatter and bigger than all the different actives i have tried over the years https://www.hot-rodpickups.com/jb-hammer-jazz-bass-pickup-569-p.asp

rock you say ... wizard hammers you need thank me later

even gary barlow had to start somewhere

you say 'gets worse' ... was there actually a time when it was better?

top tip for the day ... never EVER do festivals unless you have an access all areas laminate

this ... especially on the back of their recent corporate attitude of style over substance

Boss LMB3 if travelling light otherwise a dbx160a lives permanently in the rack case with the head - FOH guys always love it if you set it up fairly subtle it is quite transparent but stops any unwanted booming surprises making their way to the desk

heatwaves on the runway as the wheels set down

this is a thing and it is real - had an old squier affinity J and dropped a pair of wizard hammers in - similar result

yeah fine ... just as long as they dont start on the 'single glove thing'

i can hear all the fodera fanboys quietly crying in the corner 🤣🤣🤣

the mudbucker sounds nice in the first video too

beat me to it - was just about to say how the fod is the least interesting! whodathought that an eb3 mudbucker would sound better than the hallowed foderas 🤣

what a shame .. another absolutely shite tune going pretty much all the way around harveys barn and ending up nowhere its only redeeming feature imho is bruford is a monster

stopped reading at 'primal'

works the other way too - i recently contacted somebody selling a rather nice bass and was practically trying to throw my money at him but he couldnt even be arsed to answer messages

Yes. Thought Glastonbury died 8 years ago? idk

Status have active pups too

Try a boss LMB-3 see what effect it has its a bit like having an outboard pre

The only local stores of note seem to rely on the music school side of their business two that come to mind in medway and faversham are well stocked but also have a very extensive teaching program and probably as many (if not more) tutors than sales staff there are a small number of boutique high end places but by their nature they dont seem affected as they rarely operate under the same economic conditions as the average high street shop

in that case i will do them AND slap them

thats all well and good but whn you been stood on a stage at volume next to a drumkit for a while your ears will possibly react differently

no do NOT trust your ears... unless you can absolutley guarantee that you have no hearing loss or impairment or suffer from impairment at volume - whilst thankfully not permanent, i do get hearing fatigue ocassionally at gigs where pitches especially in the range open E to open A just start sounding muddy and even though my korg pitchblack is telling me im perfectly in tune to my ears it still sounds slightly off pitch)
