Happy new birthday bass Smanth. I am glad that it's looking like it'll do the job you wanted it to.

I could do some of the M6 maýbe jct 1 to jct 18 if that helps.

As mentioned by others earlier in the thread l anchor on the neck pick up then the E, A and D strings muting with the base of the thumb as I go. For some reason I have started to adopt a guitar plucking style if the bpm of the song increases especially if the notes are on the A and D strings🤔

As you like the Roto Nexus why not try the RS77 flats.

That definately applies to me, l play short scales and am only 5'6"😁

I have found the AKG K52 more than good enough low cost, 2.5m lead, 32ohm and closed back all for under £50. I use these with an Ashdown Tone Pocket and the combined mp3 files and bass do seem to integrate into a decent soundstage for practicing.

3 basses, GAS already😁 Welcome aboard Gary.

Yes, please leave it there.

You could try using a Musicians Practice glove when using those strings.

I have bought a few items in the Black Friday sales not out of anything but need as both the house land phones and the wifes mobile failed this week. I will be checking the price in the coming days to see if they were bargains but I doubt if this will be the case.

And the gas😁

I was on a few sites yesterday GuitarGuitar, Andertons and P M T and was suprised how much 'B' stock was being included on the Black Friday pages.

Sorry to hear about the cancellation Telebass, keep the good spirits up.

Excellent, well done and best of luck with the audition.

We played a very small pub last night. The drinking area was 'L' shaped and we played in the smaller section which consisted of a small alcove with part of the bar on the right hand side. No room for a drum kit so the drummer used flats. PA speakers sat on the bar and a piano which sat outside the alcove. 2 guitarists stood side by side which left about 18" to the bar, I stood behind them 6" from the fireplace with my amp (Prometheous 3110) sitting about 4ft in front of me underneath the piano. Our singer was at the front level with my amp, so a pretty small venue but the sound was actually okay. The pub was packed and pretty warm but we went down extremely well, the audience were dancing from the second number onwards and even provided vocal support😁 Happy to say a good night was had by all.

You could try Barefoot Leather, he will make bespoke straps I believe.

I have been watching a couple of Lukes videos including the one above and will put some of his suggestions into my practice routine.

Wow, but I bet he can't get his thumb on the centre of neck with that bass.

I can only add: Earthing Screening And the effects of length and impedence (although that may be covered in frequency response.

Nice amp, good choice.

Great project and end result, nice one.

Just purchased a 'The Custard Factory' compressor from Paul picked it up from him all excellent and had a good chinwag to boot. Nice to meet another local Basschatter. Thanks Paul.

They are part of his new band project - Frontloader🤭

It mightbe worth investigating Newtone strings as these have been fitted as standard on many ACG basses. They also offer a variety of string types to choose from including a custom option.
