Here’s a question for you experts. My hootenanny button is missing. Should it be the same as the other strap buttons, and what sort of screw holds it in? It can’t be a normal screw as it’ll be too long, but a pickguard sized screw surely is too small to hold any weight (not that I’d actually use it?)

Blimey chaps. I can’t imagine the difficulties you have faced but this really illustrates the importance of our hobby and the pleasure it can bring. For me, playing, talking about gear and buying stuff has always been an escape from far less pressing concerns. All the best to you both. I love that amp, beautiful looking thing. Enjoy

My compressor (Spectracomp) sits under my board, always on. I put a Loknob on it to keep it locked in place https://www.daddario.com/products/accessories/loknob/loknob-standard/ Quite useful. Peacepoti also do locking knobs https://peacepoti.com Another useful pedalboard extra is a small reading light for dark stages

Eich do various small combos. The really key thing is that they’re designed to lean back so that the speaker points at you. The difference is night and day, especially when you get a small one which would otherwise fire at your shoes. Not cheap, but fantastic sound. My 112 has replaced everything and I’m using it on small and big stages as a monitor.

Good idea! I might be able to find some BC funds to pay for such an attendance if we are able to agree on someone that fits, who wants to come anyway and doesn't need convincing with cash (which is how I ended up being a chippendale)

Thanks @BassTractor Let me know if you need any more help @richardd and thanks for supporting BC

Nov 9th is Remembrance Sunday so perhaps we could have a little silence before we salute the fallen with slap bass. It’s my bday on the 5th so I may indeed be down at my parents in Oxford so potentially could make it.

Year started playing: 2000 Number of basses: 1 Music theory: -5 Technique: 8 Groove: 8

The Ampeg Rocket Bass combos have the same style Rolex and grille as the cabs that go with the PF50T. The B100R is a cool amp too, if you can find one.

The Fender Bassman TV is a great sounding amp, and available in various sizes (10, 12, 15 and 2x10" configurations). Quite heavy, but if it's not getting moved much it's an interesting option.

The Ampeg Micro VR looks cool but apparently the fan is really noisy so it's not well suited to playing at home quietly.

Check out this carbon necked fretless Arpege https://www.ferremusique.com/basse-electrique/13092-arpege-fretless-carbon-1987-etui.html I wouldn't mind it, if it was closer and cheaper!

I’d like to come if it coincides with me being in that neck of the woods. Don’t add me yet but I’ll follow and see when dates are announced. Well done for organising @prowla and @NancyJohnson 🤩

The body woods haven't been matched at all, have they?

I never use a pick so that’s good. I know the body on the excess is quite big though. Do you have a picture from the bottom end like this?

Will they take a deposit? To hold it for you, I mean.

Hm I had a bass with a flat top and binding and it hurt my forearm when sitting. It doesn’t look like the ones with binding have an angled bit… I know the ones without binding do. How did you find it? I’m only looking out of idle curiosity tbh.

@Bigwan and anyone with a Roger Glover sig (with the binding) - is there a forearm cutaway or is the top flat?

I Don't think posts in 'Off Topic' or the Marketplace count towards your total, so get stuck in!
