    All four bands had great sound last nigt, I assume a combination of good engineers and the Ballroom having good acoustics. I moved around the room a fair bit during Converge and there were definitely places which had better sound.

    I'm at a gig now, 4 band bil - Converge, Crowbar, Thou and Grave Pleasures; it's at The Electric Ballroom in Camden. Only Grave Pleasures have played so far, Thou are setting up now, but GP had a great sound. Could have done with a little more guitar in the mix, but overall very good. I have noticed that since I started wearing my moulded ACS hearing protection to gigs, evetything has sounded better.

    So you didn't play it when Nailed supported Anaal Nathrakh and Dragged Into Sunlight in Leeds around 2009? I could have sworn you were playing a red Spector, but it's funny how your memory can play tricks on you 😀

    From the G&L website, it looks like the neck dimensions should be: 1 ¾” Medium C 5 1 ¾” nut width, generous edge roll, medium taper from 0.820” at 1st fret to 0.940” at 12th fret. Starts out just like the 4-string 1 ¾” medium C and fans out to a wider heel. These specs were part of the #10 neck. For 5-string basses only. I'll try and remember to take it to work tomorrow and get a digital vernier on it and I'll get it weighed at the same time

    Deeper than my Lakland certainly, not uncomfortable though, I'll see if I can look up some specs

    Indeed, respect comes from being rich enough to afford a US made Fender, rather than musical skill?

    The bass I was selling this to fund has now sold, so would certainly be intetested in trading for a Yamaha TRB1005J, a Lakland 55-01 or possibly other 35" scale 5 strings.

    You've set my ACG GAS off again Mick

    Cheers 😀

    A bump for the weekend. Can you all see the second post? For me it's hidden unless you click on it - not seen that before
  11. Graham
    The same as you 😁

    I'm pretty sure they've split, I don't think I've seen him post for a long time either. Nailed were good - think death metal in the vein of Nile, if that means anything to you 😂

    I once saw this bass in action as I saw Nailed in Leeds, sounded good from what I remember

    John Pybus was always a funny one to give a signature model to - Cradle Of Filth and Anathema aren't exactly household names. I don't think it'll be worth loads to be honest - metal shape, mid-range instruments don't command a huge value on the used market, particularly when the brand no longer exists.

    ***now traded*** ***Now £375*** Up for sale is a great example of a five string G&L, a really versatile and powerful sounding bass. 5 string Ash/maple 34" scale 2x ceramic USA made G&L MFD pickups 3 way pickup selector switch 2 way series/parallel switch 3 way passive/active/active with treble boost switch Passive bass tone control Passive treble tone control I've measured the neck dimensions and string spacing with a vernier: width at 1st fret 47.27mm depth at 1st fret 21.75mm width at 12th fret 63.58mm depth at 12th fret 26.99mm string spacing at 12th fret 19mm string spacing at 1st fret 10mm This bass has seen me very well over the last couple of years, but I seem to prefer 35" scale basses now and have seen something I want, so, you know, GAS. The bass I was selling this to fund has now sold, so would certainly be intetested in trading for a Yamaha TRB1005J, Lakland 55-01 or possibly other 35" scale 5 strings. I'm in Eastbourne on the south coast, I have a spare case, but it's a (tatty) gig bag, that is good to get you home and not a lot more, so would prefer collection. At work, the despatch team work for me, so they can probably pack it if you want to arrange a courier. I'm also happy to discuss meeting up if you don't live too far away. These are the only photos I have on my phone, more added below

    So essentially, switching it would turn it into a single pickup, with the coils sperated by the distance between the pickups?
  18. Graham
    I'd like to mod my Lakland DJ5 so that the neck pickup volume becomes a push/pull to switch between parallel and series wiring. I can probably get one of the electronics engineers at work to do the wiring for me, but need to get all the bits sorted out. There are wiring diagrams online, but wondered if anyone had one they'd succesfully used? Also, does anyone know what value push-pull pot I should buy to replace the neck pickup volume? Thanks

    The little Peavey TNT combos sound great, far better than they look like they should.

    I actual thought of you during Saturday's gig, as we did a Beatles song immediately followed by a Rolling Stones one 😁

    Had two this weekend, Friday was a wedding in Dorking, nice crowd apart from the obligatory drunk member of the wedding party who demanded we play "just one more song" whilst we're packing up. There's always one. The venue was very attractive, but wasn't brilliant for bass frequencies, had worse though. Saturday was a yacht club in Chichester, it was an older, well-off crowd who danced all night, we adjusted the set-list to suit, kept the volume down and they loved it. I was really happy with my playing too, absolutely nailed the solos and fills. Overall a succesful, if tiring, weekend.

    Hydra Head are running a fundraiser for the family too - reissued Zozobra vinyl, a memorial shirt and an unreleased EP I bought the T-shirt as I have neither a record player or tape deck. I hope they put the EP on bandcamp at some point. https://scofieldbenefit.merchtable.com/?no_redirect=true

    I generally don't like swearing in music as it makes the song sound juvenile. There are some bands however, which are awesome for their juvenility, where swearing makes perfect sense - Pantera, Lamb Of God and Blink 182 for example.

    Reminds me of a game where you were presented with a list of names and had to guess if they were black metal bands or pieces of Ikea furniture 😁
  25. Graham
    Then I clearly know more about music and am obviously a better person than you 😁 It does all blur a bit between sub-genres
