Bought a DMX controller from Jason. Deal done on Tuesday and the pedal turned up on |Thursday morning. Can't ask for more. Just got to figure how the bl00dy thing works!! Top basschatter and deal with complete confidence.

Never been a fan of lollipop tuners.

Resonant frequency. The guy covers this on his website. It could be what you suggest. Mine rattles too and I can hear it's the truss rod (the website says it's useless anyway).

The link is a mine of information about issues and improvements.

Could still be the truss rod.

Sean Connery's record collection. 🙂

That will be 'the Duke' in which they played 'badly' on the the title track to Axe Victim.

About 40 seconds in.

Charlie Tumahai of the wonderful Be Bop Deluxe used a bass with an identical modification.

Looks like the OP hasn't been online since the original post so may not even be aware of the development.

Hmm. Note the power light on!!

I was bombarded with the Hot Club and the work with Yehudi Menhuin. He was ok but his over-use of needless harmonics was a bit tiring. Mind you, I am a philistine.

The very one.

Potentially a good price I'd say. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gibson-Les-Paul-guitar-used-owned-played-by-John-Miles-Music-1957-59/323776510860?hash=item4b62957b8c:g:ossAAOSwPc9WxxyS

What if they were to stick a mic in the room and record the rehearsal? Don't have to keep the recording.

This is very true. On the one hand, I have always replaced the bbot bridge on my basses with the Gotoh 203 bridge but, on the other, that's more to do with the theoretical additional stability of the grub screw tracks rather than any actual dis-satisfaction with the original bridge.

For sure. Those early days are pretty much forgotten and people only remember Wendy O Williams for that form of stage dress. Criminal.

So sorry to read this. Thank you for the update and glad his instruments are staying with the family.

Not any more.

I've managed a handful of gigs, either outdoor live or streaming on Facebook. It's great to be playing but it's sure not the same as gigging was. One by one the blues club gigs have gone by the wayside but I have one at a blues club in Portsmouth on Thursday night. That will be fun. It's a big room and so I am hoping a decent number of people will be there. We'll see. As for the OP question, I really don't know. I would have expected to be gigging in Europe a fair bit but am pretty pessimistic that it will happen again for a fair old while. I think the carnet and other arrangements will likely make it unviable.

Similar to the Gotoh 203 bridge (28 quid) that I routinely swapped with my bbot bridges on basses. I have my single roundwound strung Precision equipped with a Fender Hi-mass and that made it louder and more 'lively' but the Gotoh is fine. I bought the Fender on here because it was a good price (s/h).

Yes, but who's Nicole?
