    A sad bass related day today. My 1976 (first year of production) Musicman Stingray Fretless Bass is leaving my studio for the last time.

      Can you feed back to them that 40hz centre for Bass control is way too low to be usable as anything but a cut? 😉

    Can anyone identify these tuners I’ve just found. I know they’re Hipshot Ultralight's but not the exact model

      Looks like a HB6C 1/2" in matt chrome?

      @Rich cheers!

      The 1/2" is a guess; you'll need to measure the string post diameter to establish if it's a 1/2 or a 3/8.

    Bit of an emergency. Dep required Tomorrow 12 midday 08/01/24 for paid rehearsal in Pontypridd South Wales paid half MU performance rate plus travel expenses (out of my own pocket) 

    I have all the dots and setlist with links to the tracks 

    I’ve dislocated my shoulder and broken my little finger falling down the stairs

    Looking for a new/different amp company to try that has good artist support in the UK/Europe?

      Of course, it depends on one’s gigs and what we expect from our backline….my experience is not others etc etc

      I`d agree with the Ashdown comments, great sounding amps and very good customer service. Their smaller Class D range, the RM amps are very good and make touring nice and easy.

    Got booked on probably the most amazing & biggest session of my career for this month & now the date has been moved so I’m unable to do it. The ups & downs of the music industry.

      As a near Xmas baby I can say that's really cruel. I also have two friends whose birthdays are on Xmas day. Baby Court will always hear "I got this for your birthday AND Xmas....". They will never have their own special day.

       

      I think they should ban sex in late March!!

       

      😒😒

       

      BTW Congratulations!!

      My late Dad was born on Christmas Day and given the middle name of Noel. It really didn't suit him and he never used it.

      Oh and congratulations!

    Lovely cable just arrived from @Chienmortbb 😁

      If you don't use stereo effects, go mono.

      @BassAgent clues in the name i suppose! haha! Thanks

      Hope it gets sorted.

      I have some gold Hipshot tuners where the finish has degraded and they're a bit grindy...

      @prowlaGrindy is the best word for mine too actually

    In the middle of a house move & seriously underestimated how much bass stuff I've accumulated 😂

    1. geoham

      geoham

      It's easy done!
      I'm doing a minor clear out of stuff at the moment, so I know the feeling.
      On Sunday, my old man asked me 'How many basses to you have?'
      'Three. Actually four. No Five!'

       

    2. Daz39

      Daz39

      Yeah - I know the feeling. We did an urgent declutter (3 trips to tip, 2 to charity shop) before listing our house for sale, and now we need to declutter properly in advance of moving. So much junk!

    3. TheGreek

      TheGreek

      OK, I get the hint - I'll come and get it tomorrow.
