[quote name='1oopus' timestamp='1329341140' post='1541073'] Ok ok there's no bass player in sight and it's a shame but we have to admit that this guy left hand is pretty tasty (not to mention Stanton who's on fire) [/quote] Nice. The guy with the 'tasty' left hand is Robert Walter. He'll typically have a bass-player in his own band, but live, with Stanton Moore's Trio, he holds down the bass (as above). I'm actually a fan of Robert Walter's earlier stuff, where he played with Chris Stillwell on short-scale bass. But for now, that video has made me want a pedal that emulates a Hammond bass

Still looking for something .... -
Lettuce - Salute: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=059bkniXvw0&feature=fvw[/media] Live recording is not quite up to the album version, but still a great groove.

[quote name='MoJoKe' timestamp='1328366743' post='1526064'] You know you want to trade it for a lovely fretted one... [/quote] Uh-uh [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/30453-fretless-5-unlined-sorted/page__hl__fretless%20sorted"]took me two years to find the one I've got[/url]. Would have really like an [s]lined[/s] unlined (55-94 or modded 55-02) but I gave in and got a lined 55-02

[quote name='MoJoKe' timestamp='1328354737' post='1525845'] They say they only do rosewood for skyline basses, but there are two ebony necked 55-02's on bassemporium.com, so maybe only available in US? [/quote] I have a 2008, fretless, ebony 55-02. I'm second owner, but it was ordered by a UK customer. Either they've stopped doing them or else the ebony necks are not made available separately from the finished product. Andy

I like the strings on this one: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY3_U-mWuPw[/media] ... and the groove, and the bass sound, in fact, there's very little about this one that I don't like

[quote name='BigBeatNut' timestamp='1298577883' post='1140350'] I've researched the price and £100 seems fair to me . Postage (if we can't arrange pickup somewhere in London) will be £12 which is just enough to cover what it will cost me at the Post Office. [/quote] Now £80 (+ postage) for a short while before it goes to eBay, where it stands a good chance of going for more. By all means let me know of a cheaper postage option or come and pick it up.

Awesome groove Who's the bassist ?

[quote name='M-N-Y' timestamp='1327166893' post='1507365'] Snarky Puppy...great. Michael League is another great bass player. The rhythm section is rather good full stop. On tour in the UK later this year!! [/quote] Yeah, nice. I think this thread introduced me to Snarky Puppy. Now how about some Soul Sugar ? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE7Dfo1UuwU[/media]

My take on the power supply to the tuner is: Tuner is ideally at the right end of the board. When you unplug the guitar-to-tuner jack to pack the board away, the only thing left sticking out of the pedal at the right hand end is the power supply. If the board is going into a case, you probably either need to unplug that power jack, or else move the pedal inward (leftward) by 3/4 inch or so, and if you do that you lose the space saving. I think I'm probably only repeating what others have said here. Andy

[quote name='Mykesbass' timestamp='1327055643' post='1505651'] Posted a Meters track here a while ago, having heard them on Craig Charles' show - just got a Best Of from Amazon - don't know how I've spent so long being a music fan and never knowing of these guys - that stuff is soooooo funky, highly recommended, but then you probably all knew that already [/quote] No news to me, but don't let that stop you posting more Meters songs to this thread

[quote name='1976fenderhead' timestamp='1327017936' post='1505445'] Does anyone else find the power socket on the right side an oversight? Since most people have the tuner as the first pedal, the cable will be sticking out.[/quote] B****x. Didn't think of that. The space saving over other pedals might easily be gone if you attempt to keep the power plug in-board, and the pedal is first.

[quote name='EskimoBassist' timestamp='1326921425' post='1503901'] Great idea, but I really don't think they had to go there. I mean it'll be wonderful for pedaltrain mini and nano users but aside from that I can't see anyone complaining about the size of the regular Polytune. [/quote] They say (in the video) they've spotted a trend to small pedals, the video shows a pedaltrain nano (or two) with the lovepedal mini line-up on it. Have to say that it's something that interests me.

Lakland Hollow body and Lakland Duck Dunn Precision

[quote name='sshorepunk' timestamp='1326834422' post='1502667'] Yeah, will do! Not sure of the origin of the neck, the availability and price would suggest its US! [/quote] What !? I thought you were getting it from Lakland. Are you telling me you just stumbled across a Lakland neck on eBay ? If not, who's providing Lakland (or Lakland compatible) necks ? Andy -
