      Well done, but how did you manage to swing that as it's quite the endorsement?

    3. Phill

      @franzbassist Thank you! I left another endorsement earlier this year and they seemed to like my portfolio etc really

    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. Maybe next time!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 😁

    Lehle Mono or Stereo volume pedal for a theatre tour?

      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

    Two basses out & one in! Not like me at all 😂

    Pino interview on BBC Radio Wales here just over 1 hour 7 mins in https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001k6dh

    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.

    Can anyone help identify the strings that the Acinonyx bass is shipped with? I believe them to be D’Addario Nickel Round Strings but not sure of the actual ones

    1. AinsleyWalker

      AinsleyWalker

      Think you're right. The Nordstrand site says 'D'Addario Nickel Round Strings' in the specs: https://nordstrandaudio.com/products/acinonyx-short-scale-bass

    Busy prepping artist’s sets for a huge run of shows coming up! From straight Pop, RnB, Neo Soul, Reggae, Punk & so many more!

      Out of interest, what’s on your reggae list 

    2. Phill

      @ReggaebassA lot of Dekker which is nice!

  17. Phill

    Quiet week has turned into a busy one! A Nordy bass & a new P Bass coming :)

    Pulled the trigger & ordered a Noble!

    Saying goodbye to my 72 Jazz today. She’s served me well over the years!

      Sale linked to the extra bass accidentally ordered when you rang Overwater?

      Should've applied for an Overwater overdraft

    Rang overwater for an update & have ordered another 😩😂

      that's sure some upselling!

      I did that and this time they copied the restraining order to me electronically

      I think posting a new-bass related status update and then refusing to provide pictures for the rest of us to drool over could be construed as rule-breaking behaviour.

      Rule 6 plainly states:

      "You also explicitly agree that you shall not:
      ( a ) provide any content or conduct yourself in any way that may be construed as;
      unlawful, illegal, threatening, harmful, abusive, harassing, stalking, tortuous, defamatory, libellous, vulgar, obscene, offensive, objectionable, pornographic, designed to interfere...".

      There are no pictures. I object to this. Therefore, objectionable behaviour. *bangs gavel* guilty as charged. Cough up the pics or prepare for a ban.

      ;)

      To be fair Kev you could say the same about any piece of equipment we use live.  Who will notice the difference between a £100 Harley Benton P or a £4k Pino sig Fender?  After all the compression, EQing, speakers, room etc, both will sound like P Basses.

    3. Kev

      Kev

      Hopefully you'd notice a difference in how it plays, otherwise indeed, why bother!  I doubt at a gig you would notice what a high quality DI is doing to your tone.  Or, at least, id enjoy some blind sound tests to see if people are noticing what they think they're noticing :D

    4. Phill

      Phill

      I'd have to agree with you both! On both counts! It will be used in a studio though 

  23. Phill

    Audition tomorrow! Might be playing some country very soon :)

      I must admit the idea of shipping has me breaking out in a sweat.

      NikNik

      Me, too. Some guy wants me to ship my Ibby Ashula to Thailand. Told him absolutely no way! I'd be nervous sending to Tadcaster,  never mind Thailand!

    4. musiqman

      musiqman

      That is why I always insist on a case and double walled cardboard boxes (like the Reverb branded ones) when shipping privately.

      What a terrible news :(

    Anyone know any UK boutique pedal builders who makes Auto-Wah's?

    1. JapanAxe

      JapanAxe

      ThorpyFX were planning to release a pedal based on the old Lovetone Meatball but apparently that's gone on the back burner because of component supply issues.

       

      Sorry, that doesn't help you much!

    2. JapanAxe

      JapanAxe

      Why not buy the auto wah kit of your choice (based on whatever boutique pedal) from somewhere like Jed's Peds or Fuzzdog, and either build it yourself or pay/convince a friend to do it for you.

    3. Phill

      Phill

      JapanAxe I like your thinking! Thanks :)
