Why Can't I Be You? — The Cure

Who would put up a photo of themself instead of what they're selling? https://ebay.us/m/nKtjEs He's obviously trying to make a sale outside of ebay, so I won't be surprised if the listing disappears.

On my bass pedalboard I have a Boss BC-1x compressor as an 'always on' pedal, and specific songs have distortion from a BB-1x. On one song I use an organ sound doubling the bass which I achieve with a SY-1 synth with CEB-3 chorus. I also have an AW-3 dynamic wah on the board which I like to noodle with but don't currently have a specific use for in the set.

Everybody's Happy Nowadays — Buzzcocks

I've had my B2A for 40 years as I bought one of the first ones to be imported. This looks like an elegant mod, however I'm not sure what problem it is fixing as I've never had any tuning issues the half-dozen or so times I've had to tune it.

My signature sound is to play everything slightly out of tune and out of time.

You're not chasing your vestigial tail are you?

Nun Of The Above — Frank Zappa

Blabber 'n Smoke — Captain Beefheart

That reminds me, I bought a TE Elf head a while ago to take to gigs as a backup to my Ashdown ABM, but I haven’t seen it for some time. I must try to remember where I put it. Younger me would never have believed that it would be possible to lose a gigable bass head.

Ain't Got Nobody To Grind My Coffee — Clara Smith

Three Of A Perfect Pear — King Crimson

The Lemon Song — Led Zeppelin

Mister Bang Bang Man — Little Hank

Playing my new(ish) Vintera bass VI, I've notived that I get a load of 'static' noise when my hand brushes against the pickguard when plugged into an amp. I don't recall ever noticing this phenomenon before on other guitars/basses. I'm planning to do a copper tape shielding job on this bass soon, like I do with most of my instruments. As part of the shielding I'll apply the tape to the back of the pickguard and ensure it is continuous with ground. Should this cure the static?

Canoe Dig It — King Floyd

Here's my cover of Sonny & Cher's "The Beat Goes On" written by Sonny Bono before he formed U2. B3 Organ, drums, amp modelling & FX are all native to Logic Pro. Bass is my Rickenbacker 4003 recorded using ric-o-sound to make the treble pickup a bit hairy. Clean guitar is my CIJ Fender '72 Tele thinline, and fuzz guitar is my Fender Ben Gibbard Mustang.

Sleeping On The Job — Gillan

This thread has reminded me that I have a toltec four pole musicmaster bass pickup sitting in a box that I need to get around to fitting in one of my '72 musicmasters.

Farter The Unstoppable Sex Machine

I think I'll probably go with a rockboard strip - about a tenner from thomann and much more exciting with the colour features

I want to keep it as tidy as possible so I don't want to plug the LEDs into the USB — Just to make things a little harder for myself.

I always use one of these when fitting solid shaft knobs (snick!) as tightening the grub screw with the knob fully down causes friction as it rubs against the body, but eyeballing a gap then tightening the grub screw can result in the knob ending up slightly lopsided causing friction for part of its travel. Using a card spacer makes it always come out perfect.

We have a winner! Well done!
