    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

      @ReggaebassA lot of Dekker which is nice!

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

  4. Phill

    Pulled the trigger & ordered a Noble!

      I remember feeling like I was taking a big risk ordering one but it's one of the best bits of gear I've bought in the last decade, enjoy!

      The car is probably cheaper!

    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?

      @LukeFRC partially 😂

      Should've applied for an Overwater overdraft

  6. Phill

    Rang overwater for an update & have ordered another 😩😂

    1. LukeFRC

      LukeFRC

      that's sure some upselling!

      Can I recommend email next time? ;)

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

    Just had some update pictures on my latest Overwater come through 😍 Not gonna share them yet though!

      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 

  9. Phill

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

      Thanks Lozz, I got the job!

    UPS delivered a bass I'd sold & it's turned up damaged. Today was going so well!

      Hope you can get it resolved 🤞🏻
      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 :(

  11. Phill

    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 :)

      If Status comments could include GIFs, there would be one of Ryan Reynolds asking a question right now.

      I thought it was an Octave pedal!!??  

    2. Owno

      Owno

      Aye! I sold one pedal a couple of weeks ago and just bought two new pedals. It's a vicious cycle, indeed.

      Ooooh - what have you bought? Do tell.....
      I must admit, the fact that it's more than one does make suspicious that you have won the lottery ;) 

    3. TheGreek

      TheGreek

      You're right you shouldn't have...as your punishment you should have to send them to me so that you learn your lesson.

      Harsh maybe, but sometimes tough love is the best way.

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

      And a short-scale (sigh).

      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.

    New Overwater is all specced out apart from top wood!

    1. DiMarco

      DiMarco

      European black walnut! yum!
      Specs?

    2. Phill

      Phill

      That does sound nice! Still can’t make my mind up! It’s based off of the new hollow body single cut bass. 6 string fretted 👌

  23. Phill

    Finally working on my specs for a new Overwater 😁😁

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

    1. HazBeen

      HazBeen

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

  25. Phill
