  4. I bought a behringer clone of the ARP Oddessy from Trash Converters, however within an hour of it being delivered I discovered that it would crash and need a reboot whenever you pressed a key after changing the octave up.I sent it back for a refund. I used to enjoy using behringer pedals though when I owned them. The ADI-21 acoustic preamp was essential when I used to gig with a Dean Pace electric upright aka 'the banister'

  11. Has anyone come across the genere 'egg punk?' I heard the term for the first time last night listening to the 60 cycle hum podcast. It seems to be a sub genre of punk harking back to the late 70s and came about recently due to an internet meme. It seems to be based on a lo-fi aesthetic using fuzzy guitar and cheesy keyboard along with wacky lyrics to make a sound not unlike Devo. Apart from the name, it appeals to me and I'm going to have a go at making a few tracks in this genre. It has also been known as devo-core. As it seems to be mainly a US based thing perhaps there is scope for a UK specific sub genre. Any suggestions for what this could be called?
  12. In my experience, apart from on the very cheapest instruments, it is rare to get tuners on a bass that don't work well from new or go bad over time. If yours do develop any looseness, stiffness or jumpiness, a dab of vaseline on the moving parts and ensuring everything is tight enough (but not too tight) should keep them working well forever. I think I have only changed tuners for aesthetic reasons — all three of my vintage pro thunderbirds look fantastic with Gotoh GB640s, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with the stock wilkinsons.
  13. Why Was I Bournville? — Dinah Washington
  14. If you're thinking about the GB640 or GBR640, They are not reversable and Gotoh only sell them as 4L or 4R. Also if you did get hold of two L & two R, I think the backplates would probably have too big a footprint to fit on a Starfire headstock. My Starfire II has a set of Grover 142N fitted as standard, which are well suited and might be a suitable upgrade for the starfire I: https://www.thomann.co.uk/grover_142n_vintage_bass_nickel_22.htm Alternatively, Guild used to use Grover Titans, so they might be worth looking at. Thomann have plenty of different sets of 2L2R tuners: https://www.thomann.co.uk/2l_2r_bass_tuning_machines.html
