I thought I looked for it, must have man-looked! Thanks. -
Bass tutor recommendations, Reading/Wargrave area
MoonBassAlpha posted a topic in General Discussion
I've been asked by a friend if I know any recommendations for one on one, not online tuition for a 16 year old lad -

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
MoonBassAlpha replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
From the photo, the strings don't seem remotely aligned with the pole pieces. Maybe a tiny neo magnetic on just the e pole would help? A similar sized pickup with blade/ rail configuration might just pick the outer strings better? -

Reassuringly difficult to destroy. -
Didn't get a photo, but Green Rooms in Witney had a rack mounted Mark Bass head, rack tuner and MB 6x10 cab the only time I went there. Included in room cost. Well impressed!

2004 Rickenbacker 4003 with the following upgrades: Hipshot Bridge and Tuners Seymour Duncan pickups Black scratchplate Approximate weight 4.5kg, just under 10lbs No case, original bridge, pickups and tuners not included. Condition: well gigged, presumably mainly with a plectrum as witnessed by scuffs on the neck pickup. various nicks and chips around the body. Main play wear is on the neck rear, possibly from chunky thumb and finger rings! Despite this, the frets are in very good condition. I got this in December, it required a thorough cleaning, the selector was stuck in the middle position and the bridge pickup had a wire off. The Bridge ground wasn't connected, having been attached with Blu-Tak. Really. The intonation was set properly since the bridge photo btw! All these issues were fixed. New Status roundwound strings fitted, 100-40 I can't get on with it, I'm moving over to short scale, and have a large car bill to pay off, makes sense to move this on Collection only please (Didcot), I've no means or desire to post this. Welcome to come and try this out.

I'd love a Longhorn fretless if they did one, or defretted. That Ruby one is nice, wonder if it comes in black? -

In with a whole 2 hours to spare today! Stated about 2 this afty. Robots in the picture looking liverish after Christmas. A bit of dubby electronica should cheer them up! My good friend Phil Beavis kindly supplied some synth sounds and electonic drum loops. I'm playing newly arrived Rickenbacker bass, Telecaster and acoustic drums (including my rarely heard beastly china cymbal). gretsch drums, Rogers snare, Paiste 2002 and Sig cymbals. Recorded in Reaper. 1 take all parts!

@holty What kind of work do you need?

Shim for changing the neck angle slightly.......
MoonBassAlpha replied to Chewie's topic in Repairs and Technical
I've never seen a part shim cause a problem either. -
Good job on the recording!

Ibanez Studio/Gibson Grabber Frankenbass Project
MoonBassAlpha replied to Birdswing's topic in Repairs and Technical
Back in the late 70s a mate had a defretted Melody Ripper like this an put a DiMarzio model 1 in it, sounded pretty good! Never had the cash to do it to mine. -
Ibanez Studio/Gibson Grabber Frankenbass Project
MoonBassAlpha replied to Birdswing's topic in Repairs and Technical
Looks like it should have had the sliding pickup . Would be a fun project to try and get that up and running again! -
Someone would need to trace the circuit out. I know a pedal expert, but he isn't taking on any repairs right now. A more in-focus close up with the idents on the transistors might help a bit

My band Charms Against the Evil Eye at Oxford O2 in November. The end of our set featuring a flute wig-out from guest player Phil Freizinger. Mustang through Mark Bass head into Warwick 4x10 iirc https://1drv.ms/v/s!AnyLOJ9gWR9TgqU6Je_Xkcry9l4zMQ

An odd little bass quest, and opinions needed from BC
MoonBassAlpha replied to TRBboy's topic in Bass Guitars
Isn't that stuff rather knobbly and abrasive, or is there a version that comes out smooth?- 44 replies
