    Alan Gorrie is borrowing my Overwater for the Average White Band gig in Cardiff tonight, as his bass was nicked last night! Glad I could help out though!

      Happy to help, but you should really give me a more precise description of what I should be looking for! PM me if you prefer. :)

      "..for new graduates?..."

      For students in general..."Pick up your litter, don't annoy and be respectful to the residents of the area where you are studying and FFS stop going on about how little money students have...you can afford to buy drink& drugs!!"

      Rant over...

      😂 it mainly turned into me moaning about the industry but overall I think they got what they needed

  9. Phill

    Giving the Mono Betty short strap a go, nice and comfortable so far 👍

    1. ezbass

      ezbass

      I have one of these, very comfy. However, you might find that the buckle slips. What I did was, once I'd found the right length, just put a couple of stitches each end of the buckle - sorted.

    2. Phill

      Phill

      @ezbass It does slip! thanks for the advice I've just stitched it now 👍

  10. Phill

    Glad I could help out Average White Band! They gave me a few goodies too 👌 hope he gets his Jazz back ASAP!

      Nice Phill! I know Freddy V the sax player very well and he mentioned the theft of the instruments, what a drag for Alan and Onnie, however I'm sure Alan was very glad to be leant such a killer instrument!

  11. Phill

      I had GAS for one of them once. It didn't end well for my bank balance.

      My 5HH was such that I didn't need to practise. I just opened the case and it would start to play.
      That's the mating call of a true musical instrument.

  14. Phill

    Great week recording in Weston! Managed to get some articles, remote sessions & plenty of pints done too 😁 back to flooded Wales tomorrow & a new student starting

      Sounds like you had a cracking week there matey :)  Don't forget to post some links to the recorded material, or snippets of it
      ..... and next time, some beer samples wouldn't go amiss either ;)

    2. Phill

      Phill

      It was tiring but worth it!, Will do when it's released. I filmed a bit but I'm not allowed to post it 🙃 John Smith's was lovely at £2.80 a pint 👌

    Heres a post I've written about my new Overwater Custom P5 including pics, videos & specs https://www.phillcourtmusic.com/single-post/2019/05/14/My-Custom-Overwater-Bass

      Thanks for that. Some nice sounds and tight playing.

      You may have ordered/designed what just about adds up to being my dream bass. I hadn't particularly thought about an Overwater before but that really does tick a lot of boxes.

      Enjoy....

      ..and thanks again from the review.

    2. Phill

      Phill

      @SICbass Thank you for the kind words! Originaly I was gonna get a Sandberg VM 5 which is similar, but a lot of my mates have custom/signature Overwaters & I had a great deal on a custom built bass

    I've been  very quiet as of late. I've gone profoundly deaf in the right ear due to an infection & have not gigged or undertook any music work in weeks. I've got an exploitative operation tomorrow & my first gig in months Saturday. Look after your ear health.

    3. Marc S

      Ooooo, sorry to hear that Phill. Hope you're not suffering, since the gig. And I hope they sort you out, asap :)

    4. Phill

      Phill

      Thanks Marc, The gig went well but there was such an overwhelming amount of noise coming into my good ear, it was hard to concentrate.

      Such a great bassist. Any news on how he's doing nowadays?

    3. Phill

      Phill

      He's doing okay, I have very limited contact with him, but he is aware of the article & such. Need to get a few copies of it asap 

  22. Phill

    Looking for a pedal bridge of sorts from a UK manufacturer, only finding American providers who don't ship to the UK!

      Ikea shelf insert and some tweaking might work. Will cost an hour and 3 quid.
