    Seems there’s still a fair bit to iron out. If not held yet, an initial session plus full info on the schedule would likely put you in a better position to properly make an informed call?

    Christ, that looks great!

    Barefaced is beret-fa-kayed, right? IGMC.

    Despite playing for 30 years I’d never tried flatwounds until last year.

    Not sure how cheap you can get them now but I picked up a Mooer Micro Power a couple of years back for not much at all for the same sort of reason. Same size as their pedals (so not much of a ‘brick’) and, while not fully isolated, has worked well and quietly when I’ve had the need.

    Lovely stuff here, good people of BC.

    If you’re questioning it then I’d say you’ve answered your own question. Not worth selling anything if you’re not totally decided at this moment in time. Give it some more time would be my advice.

    Bedroom amp for my son Weird trade.

    So cool!

    Off topic (and I may well be alone in this), but a run of Electromatic Billy Bo basses would make me happy.

    I bought a Revelation Bass VI not too long before Covid first hit. Have played it loads at home and LOVE IT, but haven’t yet used it much in my band. I do plan on doing so though as we’re only a two piece (bass&drums), so it’ll definitely get a ‘proper’ airing at some point. And yeah, I know what you mean about the Hagstroms!

    It can be an absolute minefield. What sounds good in demos on the web can sound derrière through your own rig. What sounds great through your rig then can sound derrière in a band mix etc. etc. Purely my opinion but based on your second post I’d say try a Green Russian Big Muff or a Z-Vex Mastotron as a starting point. They’re both great pedals, aren’t stupidly lofty boutique prices and I expect you’ll likely find something filthy you like in at least one of them. But yours, and any and everyone else’s mileage will very much vary!

    Think the bodies on these are basswood, and if memory serves the original Betsy is a ‘64, so 60s pu spacing I’d have thought.

    Also Shaw Taylor. I’ll get my coat. PS - enjoy the gig!
  15. mr4stringz
    Well, he was being ‘bass direct.’
  16. mr4stringz
    A plus 1 for Newtone. Their Bass VI set is great.

    Get that totally. I guess it’s perhaps that I’m really used to a forum here where it doesn’t seem to happen that much that when it does it seems kind of odd (I’m not really active on any others tbh), especially as a fair few lately seem to be a decade plus old, rather than ones that have had content in the last…even couple of years or so. As has been mentioned above, thought maybe there was some level of bot activity for whatever reason. An ideal name for a C&W bar!

    Don’t know that there is a problem really. Just commenting as I’ve never seen so many in a similar period in here as there have been in the last couple or three months.
  19. mr4stringz
    I don’t mean clothes for the undead, but honestly…what is it with all of the zombie threads lately?!? P.S. I have only posted this so someone can resurrect the thread in 11 or 12 years to ask the same question…

    Love the visuals, but not yet tried one to see if I could get along with one. There was a DeArmond one on eBay a couple of days back that had such a stupidly low BIN I nearly bit, but was sensible for once. Looks to have gone now.
  21. mr4stringz
    I neither need one, or even realistically have much of a use for one, but I really fancy the look of the new Hofner Ignition SE Clubs. Hofner decal on the body and teacup knobs… Struggling to not bite and stick some flats on just for around the house.
  22. mr4stringz
    An artist Ive kept coming back to over and over again over the last few years.
  23. mr4stringz
    Looks ace. While I certainly can’t justify it just now I think I’m going to have to get a Limelight P at some point.
  24. mr4stringz
    First proper close up in the wild I’ve seen of one of these. Fingerboard has a nice look to it.
  25. mr4stringz
    I don’t really get offended by any of it, personally. At the end of the day, whether I think it’s ace or dreadful (very much mostly the latter FWIW) it’s music to one degree or another and so ‘valid’, for wont of a better word. What I’ve always taken exception to though is people who love the more outrageous taboo stuff because it reinforces their actual views. And there will be some artists where that’s always the case too, unfortunately.
