Dood

Starting to look like a 'no' mate  

YouTube had a few offerings, I’ll guess that will have to do for now!

Done 🙂

Thank you Jambo!

Done  

I can confirm it it's not me

Actually, I was able to look up on my emails where it went originally- and yes it did go to a fine basschatter!

My Pro 6 went to a BCer too... or at least he was at one time... hasn't been here since 06/10/2013.

Cheers buddy! Oh, hang on... where have you gone?? Too dark in here! 👻

Agreed. It was such a wonderful surprise today - that thing I didn't know I wanted but now I'm so happy that it's here. I may actually be irrationally happy about this.

I'd like to be able to toggle them, personally. I think they look messy in the mobile view.

You can - button top right

Hey Dan. Dood is the dutch word for dead. I hope you're alive chum. 😂

I did know that yeah! And yeah, I am more alive than I have been! Things must be looking up!

Can you bump statuses? Let’s find out.

Yeah, I'd go with a white guard on the red JH or black on the black. Or none at all for that matter. As I've a spare preamplifier here, it could be a good donor for some upgrades too.

I don't have an MM bass in my artillery and listening to the reviews this one (JH) does a pretty good job of sounding alike.

I had the earlier Korean model - GB75 JH which I liked a lot (so much that I got Jon Shuker to model the neck on my Shuker 5 to the same dimensions). Didn't get on with the active circuitry. Now have a GB55JJ as a backup, and to have a fretted, roundwound J to be completely different to my fretless flatwound Shuker P. Again, really nice playing bass. Very good B string on both.

Had a pair of GB75JH models. Both in trans black and both sold on here earlier this year. Missed the general vibe of those basses after they went so picked up a trans red GB74JH last month. It’s the cheapest bass I own but I like it out of all proportion to its value. Great instruments (I also own a flame maple GB94 with binding and blocks which is another fave rave of mine)

What have I missed? 😂

What scale length is the kidney?

Yessssssssss! I’ve been composing music for my channel!

Done  

Thank you Teebs  Cheers!!

Wish I had the reddies. Always fancied a Status 5... 

Good luck with everything @Dood

Didn't know you had one of those Dan

Not yet, but it's a possibility. It's very likely that we'll struggle to gig with the frequency we used to, and I was already getting a little 'bored' with a lot of the gigs we used to do, so I'm rethinking my 'musical future', to spend more time writing and recording with others and less live stuff (certainly fewer projects), and switching my attention more to other activities that are more financially useful to me (computer based)... 

I've already completely rearranged my 'home office' to be more work and a lot less music, as I'm working from home these days. I think I might sell a bass or two and cabs that I don't need and put a fridge and a nice espresso machine in the room instead... 

I had a good run, but I think I want to spend more time visiting family and travelling when I have proper holidays, and work more from home.

If you are thinking of selling off because of revaluation rather than financial need - consider waiting a year. 
too many basses glutting the market will push prices down and there’s probably going to be some folk selling off basses because it will mean they can eat. 

Yeah, not a good time to sell. I was about to sell my Audi A3 just before things got complicated... and looking at the market, there's a lot selling but I see the same things again and again, I don't think there's many people buying. 

Hey no problem @JapanAxe! I'm just trying to spread the bass love! Would be good to share as I am hoping these reviews offer a great resource. Just want people to know about them!! 

What a trooper!

I'm going to see what I can do about making it easier for everyone to access the reviews (and of course know about them) - I just haven't figured out how yet as my mind has been elsewhere for a while. Maybe a decent signature?

I have come to the conclusion that the stuff we keep "in case" is 90% redundant. Whenever I do get called to do anything, as soon as I get jiggy with esoteric bits of kit I get a look from the producer or keys player that says "do what you do well and we will do all that fiddly stuff".

But which 10% is not redundant?

Need money + have gear not in use + gear is worth more money now than when you bought it = Sell it

My father has a barn full of just in case things. Hope I'm going to die before him... Don't want to move, sort or sell all these things...

I remember some years ago when I started buying all the good deals I was seeing. I ended up with my two cars garage full of boxes of high end hi-fi components, instruments and amps. Sold everything and made a lot of money as lots of these things were bought for peanuts.

If you don't use them, sell them and use the money for what you really need.

ooooh 

Good luck with that - hope they are more popular than the one I listed (now where's that tumbleweed emoji...)

I hope I have set the prices low enough to sell. They've been safely stowed in my cupboard not getting used, so they should really go for a bargain.

Noooo. You just need a bigger house, or an extension, or trade away a child. Any of those is acceptable surely!

Oh mate.. I DO need a bigger house WITH an extension. Tough one on the kids actually. I kind alike them both. Maybe I could get the older one to do some Saturday work on the oil rigs to bring in some extra cash. Possibly a bit on the little side to operate the cranes and the like though.

Anyone know the lottery numbers coming up??? Or has won the lottery and not sure what to do with the odd 100 thousand? lol 

It's worse than that for me.  Sometimes I end up in a bad place mood-wise, which results in feeling like I should sell all the gear I have and then start again from scratch.

Inevitably, this happens in moments of deep, desperate, despairing dissatisfaction with my sound. Don't judge me - we've all chased tone dragons, I'm sure.

Thankfully, most times I manage to avoid throwing the baby out with the bathwater and keep a vaguely sensible head on my shoulders. 

best programme ever apparently.

Fantastic show, I'm currently on episode four of five and it's superb.

Watching episode 2 now. Its spine chilling! 

so many likes

I was quite excited when I had the message, rumour has it EBS only made 50 of them

where was it?

Hit me up with a price if you do Dood...

PM'd you Kev

Advertised in the marketplace!

Does everyone who turns up have to play only Flat?

*I'll get me coat*

One of your side projects D?

@Bridgehouse Interestingly, LT hasn't been used for anything other than gigging! - I have the Helix Native plug in for recording etc and I practice at my computer. So LT has just gone up for sale!

For sale?!

I know! Lol

How was it?

I did wonder if I was going to be able to get HX to deal with the complex chains in my LT, but I spent a lot fo time cutting them down, maybe doing away with some of the parallel loops. Through IEMs and FOH I don't think anyone else noticed the slightest difference between the two! Ok, so it took ages to sort out, but I am confident that for this current gig I won't need LT. I also managed to rock up to the gig with just two basses, my stands and one case! I'm really impressed, I think it's staying.

I'll be trying out HX Effects at a gig this weekend. Stand by for updates!
