Regarding the original post, I've read the guidelines online which clearly state no visas are needed for less than 90 days touring in the EU (and likewise for those visiting the UK). Quotes from various agents support this. Not sure this is really a story or just a paper trying to stir up trouble.
Anyway, back to looking at pedals and stuff...

1 hour ago, Studio GC said:Wow! Quick reply. Many thanks! I found a Vintera Mustang here in the States for cheap, but the fretboard doesn't do it for me. Needs to be darker to have that vintage vibe.
Haven't had the chance to A/B it with my American Performer Mustang, but it also cost half of the American model....maybe I'll learn to love the Vintera?
No problem. I would be interested to hear the difference!

Had one very briefly but sent it back as it was advertised as new but with shop damage. Fit and finish was very good, comfortable neck (although I 'd be tempted to sand it a bit) and sounded...like a jazz bass should. I preferred it to the Fender Pro I tried out but that was from a couple of years ago so not a scientific comparison. I see they are available online for £999; I'd say give one a go!

That is the one I spotted! I'd prefer something a wee bit higher and wider though 🤔

Hi all,
I'm after a decent sized padded bag / case with separators for storage of cables, leads, strings , IEM box etc. The only one I've seen vaguely suitable online with 6 compartments is just not high or wide enough (only 8").
Had a look at fishing tackle bags and DJ carry cases but nothing has caught my eye. Any ideas welcome. It would need to be at least 60cm long, maybe 25x25cm wide and deep with equal sized compartments.

Sold! Thanks for the interest.

HiHi all, my consolidation continues....
I do rather like this but I can easily manage with my long-scale instruments.
This is about 7 months old and in excellent condition, fitted with La Bella flats (RRP £40) and comes with a Fender deluxe gigbag. The original roundwounds are included. Cheapest I've seen online new is £750.
I've lightly sanded and polished the gloss neck to make it easier to traverse. Also, I've darkened the pau ferro fretboard to a rather more aesthetically pleasing rosewood colour. It's a proper Motown machine and very easy to play!
I'm happy to send more photos or do a video walkthrough should you wish. Drop-off at a sensible distance from Bristol is fine or I can post at buyer's cost and risk. I have a couple of other items for sale I can bundle in if desired.
I suppose I can sell the strings separately if anyone is interested; they're the ones made especially for the Mustang.-

Surplus to requirements, a superb signature pedal from JHS (check our their page and youtube channel). It's a drive and fuzz combined with versatile EQ and options to stack the effects in the order you choose.
These are £300 new so this is a good saving. It's in great condition and comes with the original box.
I can post at owner's cost and risk.The EQ makes this suitable for bass as well as guitar; check out the videos!
Thanks for looking

Hi all,
I got this to have as part of a home music room as a standalone from my bass rig, but I think a second Stomp will more than happily fulfil my hobbyist noodling needs. It's in excellent condition and has a load of IR's, updated to Firmware 3.0.
I can post at owner's risk; I have a suitable box. Alternatively I can meet at a reasonable distance from Bristol.
If you have a Stomp you're looking to trade up then let me know.

...but "Misty Roses" from Colin Blunstone's first album "One Year" is something else, in large part because of the stunning strings segment composed by Chris Gunning.
Not everyone's cup of tea, but it nearly rules my world.
Had no idea this song of his was covered. Mr Hardin was such a talent. I think he died the same week as John Lennon, that news overshadowing his own demise.

Dave
No tweaking required from the previous string set - I've had two different brands on before these and the tension seems comparable to both. Not exactly scientific but I don't think you'll need any adjustments.

Just my luck that I buy a cloth-covered one (that doesn't quite match my amp) and then these come up within driving distance! 🥴🥴🥴
Best of luck 👍

Take a look at Gemini pickups. Some excellent choices with proper sound demonstrations. British-made too.

Surprised noone has mentioned Paul Smith from Maximo Park.
A deft lyricist whose North-eastern accent really suits the music.

I've put a set on my P bass and they've bedded in pretty quickly. They feel fine, sound bright without being too 'metallic'; if they last as long as is purported, I reckon they would be a decent lower-cost alternative to Elixirs.

I'd say knowing the chords helps a lot. Akin to doing the edges of a puzzle first to get the basic structure. Then you can understand the style and feel of the recorded player as they 'work around' the chord structure.

After some considerable time faffing with buying, selling, rebuying etc etc, I'm pretty happy with this now. Was going to sell the GK but it's just too good; it's very handy for ease of carriage and when I don't need the Fender.
My latest bass purchase is included. I can't see myself wanting anything else anytime soon 🙂-

New GK Fusion S heads
in Amps and Cabs
Posted
Thread resurrection in light of some new demos (second one is for the new cabs using the amp). Not a lot of video material for this so these new vids may be useful, although I find that Patrick guy a bit irritating:
