Nice!

Interesting than as well as his EB3, he used Marshall 100w valve amps and 4x12s to get his superb sound which as we all know, are no good for bass what so ever and certainly not loud enough to gig with.😀 I've used an emoji for the first time. how about that.

Following with interest as well.

And one for Deep Purple fans. I have to say that I think Sweet were a brilliant band, just listen to their albums!

I have to say that that's a lot more art worthy than the unmade bed or the pile of bricks.

I'd use a small mixer for that. Feed the signal to inputs then stereo out to the P.A. and use a monitor output to the drummer.

I've only ever played in 3 piece bands and the gaps feeling empty are not apparent to the audience. You may think it, but the audiences attention is on the solo. The only things that you could try to do is have a cutting bass tone and for the drummer to perhaps play more fills and add more cymbals.

Been there and done that, I share your pain.

My 4 Vox Foundation cabs sounded pretty good with any valve amp I used them with.

No chance. I would help out if another bands gear broke but otherwise, no!

Turned down a gig for the 2nd bank holiday in May because we don't want to risk the covid thing. We managed to book the 30th August instead when things should be a lot better.

In my opinion you'd lose the definition of the note the lower in pitch you go.

I use something like that, a vanity case that is, and it has proved to be pretty resilient. It's like 2 cases that clip together in the middle and I use the top half for smaller things like my transmitter bits and pieces and picks and fuses and the bottom half for leads. I bought it in a charity shop for £7 and I've used it for a few years and it's been great. I forgot to mention, the top half also has a mirror so that I can preen properly before strutting my funky stuff. Just like this one at the bottom of the page. https://www.shpock.com/en-gb/i/XK8IqnGtxkpTLmC9/2-tier-vanity-case-make-up-hair-dressing-case

There are many opinions about this but from my perspective, apart from open strings, every other fret acts as a zero fret so the zero fret height should be no different from the rest of the frets.

Just bought an iRig blueboard from Adam and a most excellent transaction it was too. No worries here!

Jethro Tull. Seriously awful in Tunbridge Wells.

The zero fret should be the same height as the other frets and not higher. There seems to be a lot of opinions on this but if you consider what you did with a capo it should make sense.

Woolworths used to sell those.

You go to this effort and the audience don't appear because it's going to rain!

I'd still get in touch with DPD and get a quote.

When I bought my laser cutter from China I used the Woodland Group as shipping agents but I have to say they were next to useless and cost me a load of extra cash through their c**k ups. I later found out that DPD could have imported it for me as well, I wish I'd used them.

Sounds like the pickups might be out of phase, try swopping the wires over on one of the pickups and see if this puts it back to normal.

When I was making my first bass, I checked the fret spacing on the basses I already owned. A P bass, a Rick 4001 and an old Columbus jazz, the only one that came close to being accurate was the Columbus.
