  2. Hello ped

     

    i would like to post a topic about to looking for a bass i want to buy, is it allowed? and where to post it in Basschat?

     

    I'm realy determined to find an Enfield Lionsheart or Cannon because it's the only bass that i want to have.

    I know Martin Sims has stoped the production. The only thing he does are pickups built.

     

    So i realy hope to find a second-hand Enfield bass and that's why i would like to post what i'm looking for about this

    bass. So if you can help me to show me the place where i can add this topic into Basschat.

    I'm sorry for my bad language, i'm french, anyway thanks in avance for your help.

  3. Realised how much better nickel plated strings sound compared to stainless (on my mustang)

      You’re right, they can last longer. I sometimes change them thinking that they MUST be dead and I’m just not noticing it, only to realise they aren’t and I wasn’t! I was also worried they wouldn’t fit my mustang but snipped down they’re fine. Dunno what I’d do without them otherwise. Shame they haven’t come out with extended and shortened sets but I think Gore aren’t as agile as smaller manufacturers so it probably makes it harder to add additional lines to the range.

      They might work better on other instruments, but I've only used Elixir nickels for my basses for as long as I can remember. Maybe steels would have suited some of the 30+ basses in that time, but I never tried! I also love that Elixirs last about a year...

      Maybe it's down to the pickups and the way they hear the string, but nickel sound so much more even across a wider frequency range. They clank better - steels sounded a bit brittle. I've never really compared them on the same bass before but I accidentally ordered steels and was able to test them side by side.

  6. I asked for some help on the forum regarding backing tracks. Ped immediately offered his help and was extremely good at passing on his knowledge, clear and precise messages and aimed at just the right level. 

    Can't thank him enough..

    Hiya Chris

    I’m sorry to have to bother.  I’ve just posted my Precision for sale.  Unfortunately the post has gone very strange.  The first picture which is of my Great Grand daughter shouldn’t be there, l don’t know what l did.  Secondly all of my pictures of the bass are down below my text that nobody will find them. Again l don’t know how l managed that.  I’ve tried to correct it nut no look.  Could you help me out please?

    Thanks

    Mike

  14. Just had a wee server hiccup at BC central, nothing to worry about.  A severe thrashing from Ped saw the IT gnomes working to the brink exhaustion to restore service as quickly as inhumanely possible.  All hail the IT gnomes for their tireless devotion to our cause.

  15. My son (2.5yo) clocked my new bass today. “That’s my new bass” I said. “Is the other one broken?” He replies. I’ve taken him out of nursery for a lesson in GAS tomorrow. So innocent!

      Every day there's an ASOS parcel, however she seems to send more back than she buys. I think she's secretly running a depot here. I'll call HMRC tomorrow
