  1. Anyone have any thoughts about a proper f2f Bash later in the year? (Fully vaxed and all that.)
  2. That's how I got mine - didn't sound at all bad, but I moved it on to my niece when she showed an interest in learning the bass in Lockdown 1. Must ask for it back!!!
  3. Fender also now do picks with a rubber grip - I have some and they make a lot of difference for someone like me who's all fingers (and thumbs!).
  4. Isn't that what cheap lighters were invented for?
  5. Thanks Dom (I nearly wrote BoBo!). Only just seen your post, sorry. I'm going to give it a go, still not sure where to start, but maybe the Lo-Fi is as good as any. Certainly one of those categorised as for Beginners!
  6. Sorry to keep asking questions, but did you find it easy to fit? I've been considering one for my Bongo.
  7. Very nice - how have you been finding the East pre-amp?
  8. Thanks Dom, I'll let you know how I get on!
  9. Did anyone actually answer your question or did they gett too excited about your waveform? 🤣 I ask because I've been looking at the Jed's Peds kit and am very tempted to start my pedal building journey with something like this. Pete
  10. Carol Kaye, amazingly - at least she was still doing so late last year. Price wasn't ridiculous either, IIRC.
  11. The meat of this article is in the conclusion: "Basswood [linden, lime, whatever] is therefore definitively not a poor wood for guitar bodies! It is just a wood like any other, with its own characteristics, which may or may not be to our taste; as long, of course, as it has been carefully selected. A good basswood will sound superb; and a bad will sound disgusting!" Surprisingly, it picks out premium Ibanez guitars using basswood as being in the "disgusting" category!
  12. I think most of these objections might tend to dissolve if people were to pronounce it properly - it's Bass as in the beer, not the instrument (cf. John Myung on the YT vid I just put up).
