Would rather not take that chance, I never take paypal for local pickup

We did a friday night gig at one of our usual good pubs, but someone had decided as we had played there a few times recently that we should drag some old songs back that we had agreed to not do again. So we started with 4 blues songs in a row. There are a load of bass players who can lay back and play blues all night. I am not one of those people. After 4 blues songs in a row I had basically lost interest in playing, and it took a long time to get into the swing of it. I feel the singer, who is the life and soul was also in the same boat. The rest of the first half seemed ok but lacking in spark or energy. It was also a 1½+ hour first half and so it dragged a lot! The second half was ok though, got a bit of a second wind and it was the first time I had played RHCP version of Higher Ground live, which is something I wanted to do a for a long time. We seemed to gain a few new fans though, and people seemed to enjoy it so maybe it was just how it seemed to me. Always a bit of a double edged sword when someone at half time says 'oh you guys are really good', its nice but not so great when you know that you are not that on form.

I have encountered it before. Its for people who don't want to send it. There are some couriers that turn up and put it in a box for you, I had that with a sale on here. Weird but it worked fine. As for the eBay global shipping program, it is on the shipping page, I almost always opt out of that, just because I don't want additional shipping hassle on a bass.

I am at the top of dorset, bottom of somerset on the A37. I have an Elwood 5 string P/J, effectively an Elwood L24, although not called that, its chambered, ultralight tuners, 3/2 headstock although if you are a fender man you probably wouldn't find it that comfortable as it has an ibanez neck profile and spacing so it would be a very thin narrow neck for you (with tighter string spacing). But you are welcome to try I got mine on Page 57 of this thread, a bit over a year and a half ago, it took 7 weeks at the time, although it has got a bit longer recently according to recent posts

I suspect the real name was 'Worlds oldest solid body bass guitar', as I assume someone stuck a pickup on a double bass way before the 30s

I like chequer too - I have my chequered iceman, although that is painted like that. But the yellow does look nice

But if it is only choking on one fret, fix that and if the twist is so slight you didn't notice without a lot of checking, is it that bad?

That is the problem with any module. Any old module such as a sound canvas or the equivalent korg / Yamaha etc will do a fine piano sound and will get for next to nothing, in fact I have a korg o5r/w I use live for organ sounds on foot-pedals - it is great. But you are still going to have the keys - module - amp wiring, which is a faff, although less faff I would say than the laptop as there is less chance for distraction. I know what the distraction thing is like though, I have loads of sound modules, keys, synths and all the computer stuff that can make amazing sounds, but under all that I have an old yamaha electric piano and if I actually want to play something, i turn on that and just play. It does a piano, nothing more (well, it does have other things, I never touch them), and it is probably the only one that I don't get distracted by all the options, sounds, possibilities etc, it 'just' does piano.

My course was only a one day thing, so nowhere near an expert, just gave me enough confidence to actually touch the thing (which I think was the point). But yes, pretty well exactly what you do. Lots of tape across the neck, my favourite green sharpie across the frets and going over and over until there weren't any frets with green lines on them, and checking with the rocker. Takes ages but pretty satisfying once you have it done.

Yes, I get the neck straight before I start, although it normally straightens itself when you take the strings off! But I also have the other part of that neck kit, which is this: https://crimsonguitars.com/store/notched-straight-edge-for-bass/ but you can get it pretty close with a ruler. The crowning and polishing of frets isn't very hard at all, its just a lot of work because there are so many of the bastards

Ahh - that is the worst, the low fret, I have a slightly low fret on my fireman, but I couldn't be bothered to redo all my frets as it was the 19th fret on the B string, which wasn't somewhere that I normally played, shoddy I know! Are you sure the 9th is low, if you go from the 8th to the 10th is one not high? It is unusual for one to be lower, unless it is worn. Not much you can do about making a low fret high, you have to make all the other frets as low. I have a nice little rocker thing I got from crimson guitars, one of the only thing I knew about bass work was the course I went on through basschat to crimson guitars to set up bass necks, so that I can actually do! Funnily enough I was looking at something like that today https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/283014972468

Isn't that almost certainly as that fret is high, but you didn't notice before because of the angle of the neck?

Well, the contents of this thread were nothing like what I expected with that title

I just changed a 30" scale messinger from E-C to B-G and didn't adjust any truss rods. In fact, thinking about it, the only basses I ever had to adjust truss rods on after changing string gauge were fenders, so I wouldn't worry too much

Maybe to you. I enjoy gigging and I would rather play a cover of a decent song that everyone dances to than a poor original to an empty room. The thrill for me is playing something the audience like. Much happier being a jukebox

They look great, especially the darker necked one. They are going to look something else with some hardware

Apart from being the longest link I have seen, it doesn't seem to point to anything other than the bassfreaks facebook page, so the same as https://www.facebook.com/bassfreakssprl/ Which bass was it?

I think these people live anywhere - there are groups around that do synth stuff. There is a group near here that just do 80s covers, which is a lot of synth pop stuff, and this is nowhere.

Don't know about the classic, but it changes fine on the non classic.

Why? He is influential. So much so that he is one of the few keyboard players that people could name

No you are right from those figures, I was thinking of the burst power ratings (which are in actual playing all you would see), but litterally yes, it should be the last column.

You can patent thrust??

Human interaction is not generally too bad, but music shop dweller interaction can be a bit less comfortable!

No, the 450 is 235 and short term 450, the 750 is 400 and something http://cdn-downloads.tcelectronic.com/media/914735/tc_electronic_bass_amp_power_rating___active_power_management.pdf
