    Right, you lot have made me very curious, I play a lined fretless with dot markers in the usual positions, I’m very interested to try an unlined fretless, anyone nearby (or not so nearby) who has one I can try out?

    Hello!
  3. Frank Blank
    Well I’m wondering if my FRFR setup will be enough, will soon find out!

    Rig of Champions, Sir.

    Is that the sequel to Eyeless in Gaza?

    Not now, the band in the video packed it in in the late nineties. That particular video was a one-off get together to support our (then) local music venue (The Square in Harlow). I currently play in a duo with a woman who sings and plays acoustic guitar, we write originals but obviously it’s way removed from the thrash nonsense above. We recorded and filmed eight or nine tracks back in December, I’ll post some once they are mixed/edited. Having said that I am currently in discussions with a guitarist I used to be in a band with thirty eight (christ) years ago, hoping to get some kind of slow dub/noise thing underway, obviously if it gets underway I’ll post about it on here.

    Let’s hope so. I did my usual with a new bass, cleaned it, did this post and then sat on the sofa watching cr4p tv, I shall engage with it tomorrow.

    Only because your Spector is in the background! 😉

    Thought so. I’m working under the delusion that I’m going to use these purchases as a guide towards perfecting my own custom build requirements but it’s all bollo, I just like ACGs, might as well just face the fact.

    Acquired an ACG from @Clarky this morning, hassle free transaction, great coms, easy peasy. One of those rare things these days, a gentleman.

    Took a pleasant drive in the sun to chez @Clarky this morning in order to relieve said gentleman of his ACG Recurve 4 short scale. After a buffing with some carnauba wax it’s looking lovely in the afternoon sun, unlike me. This takes my count of @skelf instruments to two, it doesn’t stop there does it..?

    What make/ model is it?

    The manual should tell you the temperature parameters that are safe for the cab.
  14. Frank Blank
    Minor annoyances with gear? The cnuts attached to them usually.
  15. Frank Blank
    Does this mean you already have one?
  16. Frank Blank
    I agree (obv), glad you are enjoying it.
  17. Frank Blank
    Come over and try it out if you wish.

    For Sale - Godin A4 Ultra Fretted ***SOLD*** I ordered this bass in from Canada via PMT and I purchased it there in February 2017. It received a Pro Setup at Guitar Technical Services mid-March 2017 (invoice for work in the gigbag). It has had regular six monthly check ups at GTS ever since (apart from a brief sojourn when I sold it to a fellow Bass Chatter who in turn put it up for sale at Bass Direct, from where I purchased it back! It was checked over at GTS on the way back from Bass Direct and has been back on its six monthly checks ever since). It’s just the best acoustic bass you can get in my humble opinion. It has a few small dings on the back (see pics) but otherwise at this price it’s a steal. I despise instruments sitting unplayed and as I mostly play short scales now this is nog getting played, I’d much rather someone was actually using it! Comes with fitted Godin gigbag and I’ll throw in my heavy duty leather strap too. Any questions just ask, no trades thanks. Here is the bumf from Godin... The A4 Ultra SA semi-acoustic bass features more sonic possibilities than ever before with the addition of a Low Profile Lace Sensor electric pickup and side-mounted volume and tone controls. Other features include: Custom Godin electronics with individual saddle transducers in the bridge, Custom preamp voiced specifically for the A4 Ultra SA, as well as a ¼” output and 13-pin capabilities for computer and synth access. Incredible acoustic bass sounds are available through the ¼” output jack and controlling your tone is made easy with the Custom Godin Preamp. The two-chambered body design found in all of the A-Series instruments is also found in the A4 Ultra. This design resists feedback as well as the negative effects that loud stage levels can have on top vibration. Here is the link to the A4 Ultra page on Godin’s website. Here is a link to the A4 Ultra factsheet/manual pdf.

    Quite a while back, 2012 maybe? Anyway, just discovered this...
  20. Frank Blank
    Welcome!
  21. Frank Blank
    Not sure this really belongs here but then where do The Slits belong? Apart from nearly top of my favourite bands list. Love this bass line.
  22. Frank Blank
    That’s a cracking line.
  23. Frank Blank
    What’s the price Sir?
  24. Frank Blank
    Who knows, in my experience fingerboards do get dry so I oil mine, probably too often!
  25. Frank Blank
    Man, who doesn’t need some fingerboard remedy...
