Be careful when locking in with your drummer!
gary mac replied to SpaceChick's topic in General Discussion
I think your drummer needs to get his tackled checked over. I've never heard of bollock cramp. Your duty as bass player does NOT extend to offering this service -
That's a looker

[quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1409259869' post='2538157'] Its ridiculous that this bass is still here and it is a hell of a lot cheaper and in better condition than most others I have seen just goes to show how poor the market is right now But at least you can enjoy it for a bit longer Gary [/quote] Thanks for that Paul I shall be enjoying playing it later today, my wife is off on a shopping spree and I'm not . -

[quote name='flyfisher' timestamp='1409159627' post='2536970'] + 1/2 I'm increasingly finding that I can't be arsed with these overblown, overpriced, comeback extravaganzas but I do enjoy watching the resulting DVDs. Cream, Led Zeppelin and even stuff like the Clapton 'Crossroads' DVDs have all been well worth the tenner or so to buy them and watch I the comfort of home. Yes I know 'it's not the same' as being there, but I reckon I've been to enough live concerts by now so it has to be something really special or really convenient. Sad, maybe, but true.

Has anyone ever taken a substantial break from playing?
gary mac replied to Veils's topic in General Discussion
Longest break I had was about 14 years. Getting married, having kids and running my own business took up all my time and energy. During that time I would still occasionally play a bit of keyboard or acoustic guitar but that was it. -

[quote name='Graham' timestamp='1408867381' post='2534082'] I really should have heeded Gary's advice, as the same thing happened to me last night! [/quote] Unbelievably it happened to me again last night Brand new replacement strap lock fitted yesterday pre gig, right in the middle of a number it failed, I had to adopt the rather naff looking pose, of foot up on the kick drum support to allow me to get through the remainder of the song. Years of incident free strap related issues and then two nights in a row. Grolsh bottle top washers from here on in.

Markbass speaker cones - anyone ever painted them?
gary mac replied to Lozz196's topic in Amps and Cabs
Lozz what about if you took off the front grill panel, wrap some some sort of grill cloth material over and around it, then refit the whole lot. Then you just remove it again when you want be less punk. -
[quote name='arthurhenry' timestamp='1408793174' post='2533508'] The best and safest way to use Schaller strap locks is to keep them separate from the strap, attach the strap to the bass as normal, then clip the locks on. Otherwise metal is rubbing against metal with the weight of the bass. The buttons have been known to shear off. [/quote] It hadn't occurred to me, to use them like that
-
I had a strap lock fail whilst gigging last night, fortunately no damage but it made playing a bit tricky, until a point in the song where the bass was not required for a bar or two. In the poor light I couldn't see what the problem was but on further investigation this morning, in decent light and with the aid of a magnifying glass it was evident that wear on the little retractable lug was the problem. Mine have certainly seen a lot of gigs, so maybe to be expected but it wasn't something that had occurred to me to check. I've put a new set on this morning and will in future check regularly for signs of wear. Just wanted to put this up as a warning to other Schaller strap lock users, it might save an embarrassing and potentially instrument damaging incident . If you are out gigging tonight, go check em now

Trace Elliot 712 SMC GP7 extension cab question.
gary mac replied to bassituation's topic in Repairs and Technical
That didn't happen with the Trace combo I had. The idea is that when the extra cab is connected you will be able to deliver the max wattage. -

How do you know when a bass just doesn't have "that sound"?
gary mac replied to Grangur's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1408690993' post='2532490'] It certainly appears so. And it has the thumbs up from Louisa too. [/quote] All good then mate. Just seen the pic, looks great. -

gary mac replied to Grangur's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='Grangur' timestamp='1408655403' post='2532350'] Thanks for the excellent ideas here. What you've convinced me to do here today is keep everything and still go and try the G&L. I did just that. Its a SB-2 Tribute in burgundy red. with a perl white pick guard and rosewood neck. It sounds great and in new condition except for the addition of a thumb rest. I'll probably be experimenting with strings soon too. Many thanks to all.. You're amazing. [/quote] So Rich, is the G&L taking up residence in Grangur Towers? -
[quote name='andyonbass' timestamp='1408681553' post='2532454'] Nice to see a relic that doesn't look like it's been attacked with an angle grinder......Nicely done! [/quote] Totally agree
