And our post woman is hot, which is even better 😛

My contact there is quoting 30 days on average, which is double normal time

@P-Belly Evans @soulboy I think they’re doing an absolutely amazing job under the circumstances

That mark guy off eBay ... it’s you, @Andyjr1515 isn’t it ! I claim my £5

Another amateurish knock-up job then... kit from China was it ? 😭

@ped can you do it please ?

Omg that’s the image I'm taking to bed with me, but you forgot the family sized jar of peanut butter and the pastry brush

I mean that I don’t like playing standing up or with a strap and that is a bad thing. Unless you’re in the cowboy junkies

Try the link at the end of this page https://www.gearslutz.com/board/so-much-gear-so-little-time/1195167-bill-wyman-isolated-track.html it’s bills “bass only” aka isolated track from gimme shelter, so you can hear his tone more clearly this demo isn’t a million miles away looks like passive mode is the little toggle. There are many sire owners here so I’m sure they can advise you better than me about controls. @Machines I think this is probably in the wrong forum, suggest it be moved somewhere better so a newbie can get better qualified help than she is getting from me

Yes and no, it’s just that you then just use volume and tone only, rather than a hidden amplifier (the active option) which changes the sound to be “more hifi”and modern. Think of it as the difference between hearing vinyl and cd recordings of the same song. Your desired era is very much low-fi both in amplification and recording. Bill wyman just had a passive bass with a fairly Wooly thuddy tone and flat wound strings and you won’t get that sound in the sire’s active mode. roll down the tone a bit to remove higher tones and you’ll be closer. Fewer knobs to fiddle with too Play around but bear in mind you’ll only ever get close. There are too many other variables to consider to get it exact and some people spend £££s trying to get the exact sound they hear in their head. I don’t know of anyone who’s got exactly what they wanted. A degree of the tone you hear comes from the individual way a musician plays, the way their fingers touch the strings (both hands), the pressure they use etc. Example : Bernard Edwards in chic used his fingernails to “Chuck” at the string whilst also using his fingertip pads.

Don’t need as such but it’s good for habit. It wasn’t one I got and I regret it

That’s good advice

Find the passive switch for a start, others will have more to say. he’s bought you a quality item there

Here is the one wot I made ... See the last few posts

I’d still like it @Signal Path

Ok now im confused

Mine simply cannot tell the difference between any kind of stringed instrument that you hold at waist height. So I get t-shirts that are guitar related

Julia ?

“No two measures the same” the man said....

It’s a cap

I have never heard of that .... @KiOgon is it one you’ve heard of ?

You freaking amateur ... honestly I’m just disgusted ....“radiused block”, clamp, titebond it’s all just so pathetic, this is your first build right ? you got all this jargon off YouTube didn’t you ?

It’s builds like this that make me weep into my pots of variously coloured sanding dust....
