  1. Thankyou Rob that's very decent of you mate. I checked the stuff I had done but as soon as I get nozzles on Wednesday I will soldier on. I have checked youtube tutorials aswell so will let you know as soon as I am sorted the PLA is 1.75mm jayo in black. I have the printer on kitchen bench. The guy I bought it off upgraded to all metal extruder. I suppose it will be just a learning curve so if I can message you would be great. Again thanks for your help mate. Mark.
  2. I have done all this mate. I'm using PLA. Ordered new nozzles. Thanks though.
  3. I bought an Ender 3 v2 second hand last week I have a feeling I need new nozzle as I tried a benchy with a couple of tweaks and it was really bad. I did a temp tower which was fine at 230 temp but rubbish at lower temps. Any advice would be most welcome. Main problem seemed to be delamination and rough layers also splattering of filament. Think I levelled the bed fine though.
  4. I can't help thinking that a lot of the anti slap brigade are people who can't do it.
  5. Genius bass player. I love TV themes and incedental music so he's up there with Ron hazlehurst. The theme to Bergerac is outstanding tasteful playing. Just got into fretless and he's probably one of the reasons.
  6. Was having my usual male grooming routine and usually mix an oil and mosurizer then apply liberally after bath. Recently started using Palmers cocoa oil just as general moisturiser on my hands. Tried to play after fingers hadn't dried out yet and I have to admit it did help me move around on the fretboard alot and slides were effortless. Anybody tried it?
  7. Judging by what I found online and mrs fb page I think poor old Louis had a bit of a battle with with the bottle for his remaining years. Shame considering how many amazing records he did I think he died fairly skint.
  8. I do think the simple set up helps as well I can go through everything I have including filters on hardware synths which is interesting but limit myself to 1 pedal normally chorus or octave even just going through an uncoloured studio monitor sounds so much better. On the subject of preamp why are not more people selling filter based preamp they are so much better.
  9. Thanks Frank legendary comment. Are you a Buddhist mate.If not that was very sage like.haha.
  10. Thanks mate It's amazing how everyone who has commented so far is exactly in line with how I feel. It's just taught me how to listen again. I don't think I have properly listened for years. The guy who mentioned the lined thing was right aswell as you have to nip it a few mil left or right of the marker and I always though I was tone deaf! It's like the instrument is teaching me to pay again.
  11. I hear you man. Fretless is an incredibly meditative experience. Its like hardly any drums just a big airy pad behind it and I leave open strings or a harmonic while Trying to play something sparse and meaningful over the top. It's a bit like singing I suppose.
  12. Thus is so true it immediately made me listen more than just playing my usual "patterns" Sounds airy fairy but I felt much more of a connection with it. I'm so used to 16th note type 70s obscure funk at like 104 bpm it's very difficult to just slow down. People have problems playing faster I have the opposite. Sometimes it just sounds amazing when I do though.
  13. I have recently tried to make an impact on myself with fretless, it's lined. I have a massive love hate relationship with this thing. My normal lying around for noodling fretted bass has gone back in his case for the last 2 months and just now feels bizarre and club like when I pick it up. Whenever I play the fretless it either sounds like tuneless mud or sometimes I get flashes of brilliance and go to bed buzzing. One thing I have noticed is I am a very busy player on my fretted bass but the fretless has really slowed me down. I try to play like karn rather than Jaco. Did anybody else find this? Also any tips on making the transition? I did not realise what a totally different instrument it is. Sometimes I turn the drum machine off and just listen to the beauty of the wood against the strings. I have no problem getting the Mwah though as I use a lot of vibrato on guitar anyway.
  14. Couple of mates who were better when I was playing guitar. Then just listening a lot to Simon Gallup and Bernard Edwards and also hip hop when I started. Once Ii was shown how improvisation works I was away.
  15. Very impressive as was Jaco but why the hell anybody ever wanted to play this on bass in the first place is beyond me. Just sounds like noodling. I have a bit of a love hate thing with Mr Pastorius.
