      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 ;)

      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.

      New Overwater soon & a P Bass coming today hopefully lads!

      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 👌

      If you get bored one evening, shout out. I'm only 15 miles up the road and I might be able to get an evening pass if I ask SWMBO nicely :lol:

      Congratulations!

      Because I said congratulations first, would you forgive me for (briefly) harbouring this image of you right now?

    Went to the Welsh premiere of Bohemian Rhapsody last Wednesday, really enjoyed it too. A few inconsistencies but overall thourougly enjoyed it 👍

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

    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 :)

      Hope it gets sorted.

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

    4. Phill

      @prowlaGrindy is the best word for mine too actually

    Been working on a special project for the last few months! 

     

    Deadline - Christmas Day 2023!

      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!

      Out of interest, what’s on your reggae list

      @ReggaebassA lot of Dekker which is nice!

    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

  19. Phill

    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?

    2. Phill

      Phill

      @Rich cheers!

    3. Rich

      Rich

      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.

  20. Phill

    Gasping for a Noble DI!!

      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

    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.
