  1. My basses used to get buckle rash right in the middle of the back, so that was my height, ofc the belly stops that nowadays!!
  2. Bass should ALWAYS be worn low, you're not a slapper are you?
  3. [quote name='Al Krow' timestamp='1494606038' post='3297340'] Cheers - thanks for that. I'm going to get through some old AAA's that are knocking around the house and then invest in some rechargeable batteries and a recharger. You seem to be getting quite a lot of life from your rechargeables - which make batteries and recharger are you using? [/quote] Sorry mate, forgot about this, eneloop AAA's 750mAh, and a bog standard Energiser charger I got in Tescos, mine is quite old, but this seems to be the modern equivilant https://www.amazon.co.uk/Energizer-Pro-Charger-x-1/dp/B00RZD32EG
  4. I'm not usually a fan of natural wood basses, but that is utterly gorgeous...I could stare at the pics for hours.......shame its a short scale otherwise I'd be tempted to make you an offer for it!
  5. Just as a point of reference, those 4 leds on the transmitter are very helpful. Batteries, for me, using the rig for about 6 hours a week, last about a month before I recharge em, when you down to 1 led lit, there is still an easy 20 mins of playing time before it starts dropping out.
  6. I would respectfully suggest he wants YOU to change so he can watch your hands to get clues re chords, when I use my E string detuner for certain songs, it drives my guitarist nuts as he can't get his head around what I'm playing!!
  7. You won't be disappointed!
  8. Arrgh MK shoots itself in the foot again Better off playing the Legion in Newport Pagnell, they like a bit of noise there!!
  9. Another thumbs up for smoothhound, our lead git liked mine so much he got his own, awesome kit and no bleedover with 2 units in close proximity...recommended.
  10. Thanks for the tip James
  11. Cheers Lozz...I'm glad I held out for the 500 rather than the 350 tho all that OOOMPH is intoxicating! Chris I thought my Reidmar gave me good tone with the BF, but the TH500 is something else entirely!
  12. Nice work there! Lovin the look of your Tbird, is that pickguard original?
  13. Bought a Tonehammer 500 off Higgie as I was looking for a warmer sound to compliment my BF 2x10. Was absolutely blown away at rehearsal last night, and got thumbs up from all band members and even the owner (also a bass player) He thought I was playing through the house Ampeg!! Cant wait to gig this gorgeous combo...was so carried away last night I forgot to take pics..but will follow up soon.
  14. Bought Tonehammer 500 from James, he invited me over and we swapped tales, what a knowledgable young man he is and very honest about his gear, happy to recommend him.
  15. And very happy I am with it too...the neighbours...not so much! Thanks for the tea and chat fella
  16. I just use a Tippex type pen Colin, just top it up as required and it gives a noticable white dot..cheap as chips too! https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Pens-Pencils-Writing-Supplies/Pentel-Micro-Correct-Precision-Correction/B000I6NU26/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1493708464&sr=8-2&keywords=tippex+pen
  17. I've used Tim a couple of times, and can thoroughly recommend him!
  18. Blackout...mainly because we used to blackout every time band name discussion came up, could just have easily been Braindeads or Blank Looks I guess!
  19. UK, their light was all too brief! [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AeXSQl56no8"]http://www.youtube....h?v=AeXSQl56no8[/url] Took a girl to see the band at the Decorum in Hemel in 79, was blown away by the music, lost the girl after about 15 mins, she was bored silly, but came home with the album...I've still got the album
  20. [quote name='dmccombe7' timestamp='1492953133' post='3284317'] Depends on the YES song. Owner of a Horse and Cart would be OK with them. And you will now be singing those lyrics next time you hear that song Dave [/quote] You git...now I will have that in my head forever!!
  21. Yup...one pub we do, we feel like Billy no mates, with mebbe a dozen peeps in front of us, hit the bar at the break and its rammed!! LL keeps asking us back so we must be doing something right!
  22. Apparently the Dark Morris is danced to welcome the Wintersmith and heralds the coming of winter . The traditional summer Morris dancing is supposed to reverse the process.....According to Terry Pratchett anyway.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wintersmith
  23. Arranged to meet Mark in a Costa to buy his HB jazz bass for silly money, lovely chap, deal done in 20 seconds, over an hour spent chatting, could have spent longer too, but I think his son was getting bored. Deal with confidence, Mark knows his stuff!
