King Tut

Just had a look. I can buy from Amazon.de. The postage is much cheaper but the initial price is lots higher! Still cheaper than buying from source though so thanks for the heads up!

I want to fit Luminlay fret markers to two of my basses. Luminlay want £20 to ship to The UK - anyone know where I can source them without being ripped off for shipping?

Oof harsh! 😂

I bought a Classic Vibe Jazz Bass from Graeme. Communication was great. There was a screw up with the Courier and Graeme was quick to let me know what had gone wrong and how he was going to rectify it. Bass arrived quickly, as described and properly packaged. A great transaction, deal with confidence.

First time out gigging this head and first time for both BB2s although I’ve gigged a single one lots. It was only for show really and was probably overkill. The recent addition of a Schroeder 1212L to the arsenal means one of these cabs might pop up in the for sale section soon!! Anyway, it looked real cool!

I’m using Basschat on three devices, an IPhone, an IPad and Safari on a MacBook Pro. Just lately I keep having to sign in mont times I open basschat. I never used to have to do this. I’ve ticked the ‘remember me’ box. Any ideas?

I’ve used one in the past. Used sparingly they’re great. I used to introduce it as an additional member of the band. Some of them listen to what the band is playing, thru a built in mic, on others you have to take a feed from guitar or Keys so the unit can work out what key you’re in. Alternatively you can set up patches for different songs and program in the key. They usually come with other toys like reverbs, noise gates etc, so quite useful

Many thanks for your thorough reply! I usually use passives but actives are handy when you favour the bridge pickup and need a bit of extra oomph!

It’s a nice Jazz. The P now has a 74 sibling - yeah that’s a special P. Do you still have the custom shop jazz?

Thanks for all the comments. Ideally I’d be looking for something with a small footprint. I think I’ll delve into my spectracomp and see if I can program that to something similar!

Cheers Blue!

You’re not in a Lizzy tribute by any chance are you?!

Hmnnnn!

I’ve been playing about with an old Trace AH300 SMX amp at home and finding I’m really loving the compression on it. It’s not exactly transparent but it gives me a tone I really like. Does anyone know of a pedal that does that tone - I’m not necessarily worried about dual band - I’m not even sure if the dual band thing is part of what i like! I’ve got a TC Spectracomp pedal - if I started exploring the editing options on that, would that possibly get me there? TIA

Thanks fella. It’s starting to get a bit roadworn in places!

A late report on Tuesday’s gig in Coulson at the Tuesday Night Blues Club. This was a Del Bromham and Friends rather than a Stray gig. It didn’t get off to a great start when I belted my left hand pinkie loading my cab into a car. I immediately iced it and added some cocodamol to my man bag! A nice jam free drive to the venue and quick set up and sound check. We had Simon Taylor doing the sound so a decent result in that department was a given! I used my old AVRI Jazz procured from Old Horse Murphy of this parish into my Bugera and Schroeder 2 x 12. We had a great night, decent crowd and went down a storm. Finger was painful but I soldiered on! Happy Daze! Ouch! Of course the electrics are fine! the changing cupboard! Job done!
