I've recently bought a MojoMojo. I prefer the purple colour scheme of the Paul Gilbert version but as I'm only using the pedal to add some low gain oomph into my VT Bass I don't need it to go up to eleven so I got the standard version.

It has replaced the Boss ODB-3 on my pedalboard and I don't miss having a blend knob at all.

Or my favourites "all requests must be written on a twenty pound note" or "we don't do that song, but the next one uses some of the same notes"

I'm impressed by this bass's ability to get so many pearls firmly clutched 😇

I miss the days when buskers would play an unamplified acoustic guitar, and if they were singing the volume was dictated by what they could push out of their lungs.

If you show up to an audition with this bass, they will remember you.

as in "remember that chump that turned up with a butchered vintage Fender he paid over five grand for"

I'd imagine its actually worth somewhere in the ballpark of half the asking price if all the hardware is original. Then you'd need to spend several hundred to get a sympathetically reliced body to replace the abomination it currently has.

That body could then be given a decent burial and never be mentioned again.

I like the lollipop tuners

Sounds like you're looking for something like the Fender Rascal bass

I wonder how it would be if you were stuck for space down in the Dog and Duck ...

Swing it around a bit and people will make room

The body shape reminds me of what you'd end up with if you tried to build a bass out of lego.

The headstock shape reminds me of what a headstock designed by someone who doesn't know anything about basses would look like.

Where?

Ware...

...Where?

Lovely looking thing. This is the best colour for these.

I enjoyed it.

In episode 4 where they played 'nine to five' in the Red Lion pub, I wonder why the large union flag decorating the stage behind the drum kit was hung upside-down?

I could probably go up to about a six and a half on a scale of zero to eleven. Anything heavier than that would probably make me feel a bit queasy.

Curly leads are cool - I always use 'em.

The ones I have were pre slotted - they both have brass saddles, perhaps the ones with zinc saddles are different?

The only daft questions are the one which are not asked

And some lemon oil on the fretboard 👍

yes - lots of lemon oil

swooshy bargain!

Used by the banshees on two TV appearances? That makes it sound like it might have been lent or hired to the band to use whilst miming. The gunk on it looks terrible but nothing a squirt of cillit bang and a wipe with an oily rag couldn't sort out.

Heres what it sounds like

I now think this probably started out life as a Vox bassmaster.

These look identical a set I have that came off my squier SS jaguar. I've just dismantled one of mine and was able to reassemble it with the 'ear' on the other side to make it into a left handed one. So it should be possible to configure this set as 3+1 - hope that helps.

The tuners fitted to the vintera precision appear to be the same 'reverse' tuners with the big backplate as fitted to vintage reissues so I would be very surprised if they didn't fit.
