    That annoying moment when you buy a Big Muff pedal from GAK and - on delivery - you discover the box (correctly labelled as Bass Big Muff) in fact contains a guitar tremelo pedal. Grrrrr

    1. Clarky

      Clarky

      Fortunately GAK were quick to contact and offer to send a replacement plus a free collection of the erroneous pedal. So, all in all, a nuisance but dealt with quickly by GAK customer service

    Just been made a Basschat Grand Master. I assume this means I get keys to the executive Basschat loo and my own personal parking space? No one need salute, happy to keep it informal.

      As a fellow Grand Master I have continued to lose large sums of money in the For Sale section, while posting pictures of my sausage dogs in Off Topic. As Geddy sang, Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose

    Dear Basschat, I have a problem. I am so happy with all my basses and amps etc that I no longer feel the need to come here and look at things endlessly. How long will this feeling last?

    I'm really loving my short scale Marchis bass. I know it's not a great bass, but I'm thinking about replacing the electronics and the cheap components

    1. Clarky

      Clarky

      Hi Javi, as its not a bass that many people will be familiar with (I think its a 60s bass?) maybe post up some pictures in the Basses forum and ask for advice on pickups etc?

    Had my Serek out for a gig on Saturday just gone. While I KNOW it's an amazing bass....it never fails to surprise me how good it actually is, how fun it is. Love it! Was a fantastic gig!

      My Serek MW is so easy to play and weighs zip all (about 7 pounds). Such a pleasant bass to gig, never fighting against it

    D'Addario strings have clarified on Twitter that it is pronounced Duh-Dairy-Oh. Who knew?!

      Their presumably Italian descendent founder would have pronounced it Dah-Darr-io

    There's a first. We walked away from a gig without playing a note as the pub thought we had too many amps (we are a 5 piece) and our amps looked "too loud". We hadn't even plugged in or fully set up. When they asked us to lose a band member or play after 10pm when their restaurant was closed, we packed our gear and left. Lord Raglan in Wokingham, for the record. My advice: never accept a gig there

    1. Clarky

      Clarky

      The gig was a bit of mutual backscratching for a radio station (Radio Wigwam) which had played quite a lot of WBW's music. Unfortunately, they handed over promotion and organization to a local promoter and a pub that was unaware what they had signed up to. I mean, what do you expect when you sign up a blues rock band? Seems they would probably have preferred acoustic covers of Wonderwall and Mr Brightside.

       

      You live and learn

      To give s bit more context, the band mate they suggested dropping (which we would never do) had just recovered from COVID and driven c.100 miles from Hastings to make the gig
