Spin off from the recent band names thread: Guess the genre or style from the name: Ours is: Charms Against the Evil Eye

Maybe we should spin this round, and give your band name, then see what others think your style or genre is. I'll kick off with ours: Charms Against the Evil Eye

Update: Having played 3 more gigs this month with the same setup, I now believe the amp used in the above clips is in fact the lunchbox junior. This is the 50W version, as opposed to the full-fat 200W one. Still quite loud though. I can post some more recent links to the last gig of this mini "tour" if anyone is interested.

Thanks for the replies so far folks. I must say, I had forgotten about bit depth, I'll check the specs on my zoom.

Looking to do some recording this evening, any particular reason to choose 96 over 44k sample rate on my R24? (Assuming my memory card is large enough). Cheers MBA

Great result, and a nice looking bass too!

Looks lovely. Could we have a picture of the whole thing please?

My band Charms Against the Evil Eye are acting as backing band for Californian Psychedelic poster Anton Barbeau again, as part of his mini tour to launch his new album, Natural Causes. Tonight, Thurs 10th May is the Beehive, Swindon, Fri 11th at the Black Swan Oxford, and Sunday 13th at the Oval Tavern, Croydon. As usual, it will be nerve wracking and fun in equal measures! (a whole new set to learn, no rehearsals) Oh, and he's calling us Thrust for these gigs

I know what you mean about drilling the end pin! I was originally looking into the cheapest way to buy a notch filter for use with my mate's Hofner Verithin bass, and making this into a pedal. You could even build it into a low wooden box and use the internal Mic as one of those foot stompy things.

saw this on eBay, piezo, Mic blend notch filter and tuner. Wonder if they are any good? Anyone tried one? Is it a knockoff at this price? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FISHMAN-presys-blend-301-Dual-Mode-Guitar-Preamp-EQ-Tuner-Piezo-Pickup-Mic-Beat/122915085720?epid=538968934&hash=item1c9e4f5d98:g:B1UAAOSwiflasLs9

I hear this advice in the voice of Scotty, from Star Trek. Am I the only one?

look out for a set of Rokit monitors in the For Sale section soon folks!

You could probably buy Vox cloth to stretch over the Mark Bass grille. Might look quite nice.

Don't they end in an x?

Either move the bridge neck-wards, or rout the neck pocket further towards the bridge. A combination of the two might be best aesthetically.

Get a bigger shirt?

Or a gentle tap with a hammer and a wood block.

As said above, the respect from his peers is impressive, and JB is the sort of slightly left-field artist I'm often drawn to, but somehow he just doesn't do it for me. His control of the instrument is amazing though.

Good point BRX, a lot of old Japanese guitars had humbucker sized housings containing single coil gubbins.

It's also worth bearing in mind that the lower you set your action, the more catastrophic the effect of seasonal changes to the neck; a slight straightening could render the thing unplayable. Also, and this is a matter of personal taste, I don't find the lowest achievable action yields the nicest sound, with normal playing, and restricts the available dynamics.

Interesting video, and if you read into the comments, a guy from KRK pops up and says the engineers there had seen this conductive are corrosive potting compound in their products, which was not specified in the build standard. Get scraping!

You sure you weren't at a Baldrick poetry recital?

Squier pronounced like the ie part of quiet, I believe.

A preamp or acoustic pedal that has a notch filter worked an absolute treat for my mate's Verithin bass. Stopped the feedback dead.
