Just seeing a friend is having to let go of a lot of his basses - possibly the single biggest collection of ACGs to go up for sale too. Would be good to see them go to good homes so keep your eyes on Bass Direct.

Compared to my old Elacins, the ACS definitily reduce Bass frequencies more than others, so not quite the flat attenuation I was expecting. Also, the filters can pop out when removing the plugs from your ears. I used a tiny smidge of superglue to avoid any mishap, overall, they do the job and I'm happy.
BTW, you can get these from the Musicians Union for £30 a set (members) and £40 a set for none members.......

Just adjusted my double bass bridge down to where the strings are 5-8mm off the end of the fingerboard. It really brings out the growl, it's easier to get around, and it's a bit kinder on my hands given I don't get as much practice time as I'd like. But I feel like the old-school "real players dig in" guys will disapprove!

I had a couple of lessons with the Mighty Danny Thompson, back in 2008. He played my Bass and immediately asked me why I had the action so high. I told him so I could dig in and get a big sound. "That's a load of bollocks Mart, a complete myth", came the reply. He told me to play his Bass, Victoria. So I did, and it was by far the easiest Bass to play and had the lowest action, but every note rang out like a bell. Of course, I still sounded like me, and when Danny was playing my Bass, he still sounded like Danny, but that's a different topic.
I did lower the action on mine, with great results. Interestingly, I had a lesson from Steve Berry last year, and he has a lowish action too. Nothing wrong with that lads tone.

My Trans-themed MJT-aged Bass arrived. Assembly begins: Allparts neck’s bolted on w/threaded inserts, Seymour Duncan pups are my go-to for most builds. If all goes well I’ll be playing it for the 1st time on the 12th @diyspace4london,

Small rant but when something in the FS forum is sold can the seller please type SOLD in the title. Would save a shedload of wasted time

Is it not against the rules to post an item for sale on here asking for the buyer to send money through Paypal Friends & Family? If not, it should be!! I see at least 1 scammer get called out on Facebook per week and it's ALWAYS because the buyer sent payment through F&F.

Watch the Chernobyl TV mini-series. If you are 40 or over, you will probably recall seeing the news when you were young. You will want to see this series. It is very, very good. Moving and true to the events that shook the day and following years.

That's all... thanks. -
