Hi BCers I can't get my head around the 'stereo or bridge' switch on our PA amp. We run a stereo PA amp into two speakers, left and right, fairly standard I guess. However, everything is mixed to mono at the desk. Is there any advantage in setting the PA amp to bridged mode?

Hi Burns Is this still for sale? Does it come with the case? I live in Kent and wouldn't be able to get over to Bristol, so would you be able to pack and post? best wishes NHM -
Selling my Spector, a beautiful bass, amazing sound, very even intonation, massive sound, as I've moved to playing short scales, so this isn't getting used any more. I've owned it from new, it is immaculate except for a small scratch and a couple of minor surface nicks by the battery cover - all barely visible (they look worse in the photos than they are!) Aguilar pickups and OBP-2 pre-amp, giving +/-18db, bass and treble Maple neck with graphite reinforcement, rosewood board, maple/walnut/alder body. Comes with Spector gig bag and strap locks Currently strung with LaBella 760 flats, but I will restring with rounds if you'd prefer. Collection only from Faversham.- 13 replies

Sims Bass Shop - Grand Opening Day - 28th July 2019
NHM replied to Sims's topic in General Discussion
is the date correct, according to our Cairn terrier calendar 28th is a Sunday??? -
the Black Griffin just across the road from the Cricketers might have someone on.

really good stuff, recommended listening

some gigs I play through a Keeley Bassist - on other occasions just direct to the amp. It's how I feel on the day as to what sound I want. I like it 'on' but I like It 'off' just as much if not more, as 'off' is more versatile. It's the only pedal I use, the rest have been ditched as redundant; I'm tempted to move it on but I haven't quite got there yet. The Keeley does the job very well and adds a very musical/complementary sound if that's what you want.

just now I showed the breaking news pic to our drummer who immediately replied 'fake news'!

yup, the pick up on mine fits the same as Ikay's. No foam. all held by the pickguard. When I replaced the original pickguard which was broken around the jack socket, I added a couple of extra screws around the socket - heresy I know, but it gives the pickguard better support and doesn't look out of place.

I hadn't realised the shape changed with later models. Mine's a '71. you live and learn...

I bought a new pickguard for my MM a few years ago - I think it was from WD, and not too pricey. If you want me to check when I get home....

First rule of interviewing, eliminate candidates who aren't appointable. So rather than compare A with B, ask the question of each 'is s/he good enough to join the band?' This will then leave you with two, one or no candidates, so you can move on to the next stage of the process.

are you willing / able to change key to get the best out of their range?
-
saw a thing on Anderton's about a strat with scalloped fretboard - we need them to bring out a P like that. Perhaps they will next week?
-
nice bass, but I was thinking of something with much higher frets, like on the sitar, so the strings are never on the board and the pitch is therefore variable depending on how hard you press down....
-
a Yamaha? which model is it?
-
v good. has anyone built a bass with a fretboard way below the frets, so you can bend a note by pressing down?
-
Seems odd an old couple selling their son's bass. It's usually the other way round. I didn't see the programme, so it might have been explained. I wonder if they considered giving it to a local young bass player to help get him/her up the ladder, Today it's all about what stuff is worth and getting a quick buck. A quick grand whilst getting turned over on telly wouldn't buy me the same pleasure as helping out a youngster.

The neck on my '71 MM looks like Ikay's (above), just a tad darker.

I'm very happy with my B3n, it has now replaced my pedal board for gigs as it is so much easier to manage and cart around. I use the same clean/compressed patch for 95% of songs, plus one funk and one tremolo so it couldn't be easier to use live, with the rhythm pedal added to each patch so it is available for practicing. And the unit is small enough to fit in the pocket of the gig bag and tucks away in a corner or sits on the amp for pub gigs when there's not much space on the floor.

Hi The bass sounds great. I've got a '71 too, but I've fitted a Curtis Novak pickup which sounds great too. What strings are you using for the sound clips? -
last year I bought a new bass from a reputable shop, it was clearly new, with tags etc. When I later checked the serial number it turned out to be made in 2011. I wasn't bothered by this as it played beautifully (might it be better for having sat in a box for six years?) , but I was surprised that stock might sit around for so long.

A really enjoyable hour spent in front of the fire. The two second clip of the enormous speaker cab that it took four blokes to carry - 'a picture speaks a thousand words' I think someone once said... .

yup, oysters still big business in Whitstable. It is thought the Old Neptune was originally a premises for boat-building so your ancestors would no doubt know it well...
