Hopefully, you don't understand the lyrics... 🤦‍♂️

Yes I do, but like a lot of songs I don't listen to the words unless they mean something to me, there's plenty in English in a similar category. I like the feel of the music.

He does a lot of good stuff.

Thanks

Yep that's the one I came across it on YouTube and it was only 11 hours old (it said) so I thought it might be of interest to some people on here.

On YouTube says premiered 11hours ago so hopefully it really is new. Guy Pratt's Life As A Session Bass Legend (Tales From Pink Floyd, Michael Jackson, Madonna & More!) - YouTube

Yeah, I like that and his whole lotta love is pretty good

The red sub that Andy Travis mentioned is in sunburst in this video. The bridge pickup isa bit big though.

This should have been a shock but it wasn't.

Excellent, Thank you

I would start by checking that power is getting to the preamp, then I'd investigate the jack socket as this is acting as the on-off switch, you should be able to check each of the pots as well, I'd suggest that as soon as you have checked the power it would be sensible to remove the battery and maybe unplug the preamp as it is a sealed unit so it won't be possible to fix anything inside of it, if all the other connections are solid then it will be new preamp time.

 

Right, some of the pots are dead so I'll order some replacements and all being well I'll be good to go. Thanks again for your advice.

Thanks again! I now have a strategy as well

Thanks for that, I'll have a go and see what it shows.

I got out my aria bass after a bit of a layoff while I concentrated on the VM fretless jazz and it seems something has gone very wrong with the pots and or the preamp the only pot working properly is the volume the others do nothing or virtually nothing and one crackles and disconnects. I've helpfully forgotten which is which and as they're not doing anything I can't work out which is which. The battery is fresh and fully charges. I've also tried contact cleaner.

My options seem to be either replacing the pots and seeing if the preamp is fine or replacing the whole lot bearing in mind that the bass although very nice is not worth a great deal...... and I'm fairly broke. I've not managed to track down an ME3 preamp online so I'd be grateful for suggestions. Is it worth doing the pots first or is it likely to be a waste of money? Suggestions gratefully received.

Like the bass

Does anyone know of another source for LaBella short scale roundwounds 40-60-80-100?

Just did a search on the la bella site for LaBella M42S and there was no result in the search, maybe they don't make them any more?

The Modern Jazz Quartet perhaps The Complete Last Concert?

I just played the beachboys track for my wife and she said it sounded like bad karaoke using an orchestra instead of a voice.

Whoever wrote the orchestral part to Sloop John B Had no idea what the original music was about. It's totally unsympathetic to the original

My bank, Credit Agricole, have still not decided to reimburse the princely sum of 25€. I don't think they're ever going to, now, the sods. 

Same bank here, my daughter had similar and was refunded and then had the refund withdran because the bank's insurance company for these things decided it was her fault because she'd provided her details to the company. Our nice adviser gave it all back again and a bit more for her trouble but that part is another story.😊
