  1. It's in fact Sa-doch-ski in right polish way... Ask any Polish around.
  2. Ok, could someone tell me what's the real use of this cover ? Maybe for those living in castles to match the carpet on their stairs...
  3. It's dead cheap indeed. Go on, have a look and tell us more.
  4. And non original pickguard. Otherwise, if you want to make truckload of money, just stinky poo in 90 cans and sell them, like Piero Manzoni did. Ok, he was an artist and it was a deliberate rebellion act, but he earned a lot with this act, so just dare, who knows ?
  5. I've used an ironing stool for a while ("stole" it from my mother a very long time ago), so you are sitted, but almost still standing and in a comfortable position. Quite cheap if you want to buy one.
  6. And this, bad taste at its best :
  7. And what about the cheapo plastic Fender ones where they even write what it's meant for in case you are completely deaf. Ok they are meant for guitarist in first place.
  8. Varvick is the way German people pronounce Warwick. Happy fun, no.
  9. https://www.ormsbyguitars.com/djent2018.html Quite easy to play power chords, no ?
  10. I think you've got it all wrong even at the biscuit Ritz, it's pronounced just like scone and not scone. Damn, learn to read.
  11. A pickup is supposed to be as accurately as possible transmitting the signal, which side by side humbucking (phase cancelling due to the two picking points) soapbars don't do and certainly not the Wal pickups with their 8 coils per pickup (for 4 strings basses). You might like the sound of it, for sure (as I do), but saying it's the best soapbar is some kind of heresy. Furthermore, the OP is looking for a P/J set in soapbar housing (EMG 35 or Bartolini BC)...
  12. Just for fun, imperial measures are supposed to have been abandoned in 1875 in favour of the metric system ... worldwide. And England was one of the first to adopt it with France where it all started, but some seem really reluctant to use it : you know, old habits...
  13. Traded my quite rare MTD/Bartolini NS3TMB-18 for Michael's Pope Flexcore. Everything went smooth and easy. Great communication and a pleasure to deal with. A+++++++ as they say elsewhere.
  14. With this design, meaning split humbucking coils, you'll get a tone closer to the typical P-Bass sound, but you'll loose the punch of the single coil. And this is what you get. To me, if you accept to mix two "types" of pickups, you can put a Fat Stack in bridge position and a Big Split in neck position, so you'll get hum free P/J on steroids configuration and still the opportunity to have a real single coil sound when splitting the Fat Stack. If you can deal with the single coils hum, then give a try to the Big Blade or the Big Single of course (they are very close soundwise, the Big Blade being asier to fit as you don't have to care about strings spacing). In fact, I always prefer the single coil sound, but sometimes you need to cancel the noise, so humbuckers are mandatory (EMG's are all humbuckers except for some of the HZ series). The Nordstrand are terrific pickups and their single coils are awesome (my prefered pickups when it comes to single coil). There's another possibility, that's the dummy coil system, but apart from Alembic and Leduc, and at a time the Audere dummy self preamp, I know nobody using this and it's sad as you get the best of both worlds : a real single coil sound without the noise as it's a hum cancelling system...
  15. Christoph Dolf from Bassculture in Germany can make you almost whatever you want. The EMG catalogue has every type of sound in that housing, but you'll have to like their linear sound. To date, the Nordstrand Fat Stack (FS4 in EMG 35 housing) is certainly what you're looking for : http://bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Nordstrand_Pickups_Signature.html Avoid side by side humbuckers as you will loose the clarity and punch you are looking for.
  16. Thanks and very light for such a bass. I also have severe back injury (some days I hardly can move) and also a right shoulder capsulitis so the ergonomic of an instrument is very important to me too. A very tempting one, but I think my wife will really kill me if I do the step forward. I will wait a bit and see... But I'm sure it will be gone within the next couple of weeks.
  17. Very nice bass. Could you please give us the weight ? And you are right, the TI JR are quite astonishing, a bit light under the fingers, but what a sound. Put a set on one of my fretlesses and this is even better than the D'addario or Fodera nickels.
  18. Agreed for Fad Gadget : underestimated is the word. Just listened to one track of few minutes ago on the radio (Belgian broadcast called "Generation 80"). I've seen SPK just after their massive hit "Metal Dance" and it was the beginning of the end. Still can't find my original 12 inches with this hit nor their first LP I bought called "Leichenschrei". A more than predictive title.
  19. Saw SPK in the 80's, was a sort of unaudible heavy electro destroy trash metallic music with a cute yelling "singer" , but as I was young I liked it. Einstürzende Neubauten and even Laibach were way more musical but absolutely non communicating with the audience. Saw Fad Gadget during the same period, was a strange concert with Frank Tovey making crowd surfing all along the show. I feel strangely old yet...
