Being Sucked In Again — Wire

Will it go round in circles? — Billy Preston

In my first band that actually got some gigs, I had to sing & play bass on most of the songs so I wrote a bunch of songs that I was able to sing whilst playing bass, plus a few I couldn't sing whilst playing bass that the keyboard player had to sing. I don't remember the title of the first song we played though.

Has Fender fixed the shonky circuit for version 2 of the PJ player? I had to rewire the original PJ player mustang I picked up a few months ago as whenever the volume was anywhere other than full on, rolling down the tone dropped the volume. I posted this & the fix on the repairs & technical forum:

The Winker's Song (Misprint) — Ivor Biggun

Ashdown is selling the "Pink Roasted Saint Soap" for £239 as a black Friday special. It sounds less like a bass and more like a four word password like correct horse battery staple.

Hey Bulldog — The Beatles

Here Come The Custards — Primus

Semolina — The Residents

News Of The World — The Jam

I'd bang their heads together and tell them to stop bickering.

Spicks And Specs — Status Quo

I've owned two five string bass guitars. I didn't really get enough benefit from having the extra string on either occasion, the B didn't sound particularly good, and I don't really like active basses so I sold both of them. When I upgraded from a dean pace EUB to an NS Design seventeen years ago, I went for the CR5M. I have no plan to ever sell it as it is a wonderful instrument, and having a 43" (or thereabouts) scale means the B string sounds as good as the other strings. Also The EMG/Haz labs electronics make sense on the CR5M.

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/267073179522 This 4003 is listed as being a 2004/5 model in the title (and 2017 in the description) having been purchased by the seller as a teenager and then left unplayed for some undisclosed period of time. The pics don't look like a 20 year old bass — the roller bridge only arrived in the last few years and the skunk strip returned a few years after the new bridge, having being shelved in the mid 80s

I like the little micromesh pads - there's a nice set of small squares of all of the grits on amazon

Here's my entry, 'Ramps' I just managed to finish it off and put together a simple video before tunning out of time. I aimed for a cinematic feel to go along with Iris's cool ramp action. Recorded in Logic, using Logic drums, My Fender Vintera 70s telecaster custom & Gibson non-reverse thunderbird went into my Fender mustang GTX100 amp connected to the Mac Mini via usb. Stock logic plugins were used for keyboards and processing.

Its only going to get colder after xmas so a bass jumper would be better than a t-shirt https://bassthing.uk/product-category/knitwear/ full disclosure: bassthing.uk is my online store

La Grainger — ZZ Top

Captain Peacock in My Pocket — The Stooges

Abraham Martin and John Inman — Marvin Gaye

Most of mine have had a little modding, even the JMJ mustangs which I opened up & shielded with anti-slug tape. My Epiphone Vintage Pro Thunderbirds have had the tuners repaced with Gotoh GB-640 tuners and I've fitted thumb-bleeders (the little pointy indicator thingys) under the knobs. My Gibson non-reverse thunderbird has a babicz bridge. Anything that came with a flimsy (ie destined to fail at the least convenient moment) output socket got an upgrade to a switchcraft or pure tone. Probably the smallest amount of modding was on my guild starfire II — I wasn't keen on the white switch tip so I replaced it with an amber one.
