Do they drink it in the Congo?

I'd already fallen from grace, but last night my bro sent me a facebook link to someone selling a Hardly bent-one '1950 P' in Fiesta red in my town. Only £105 new the guy aid £70. Bro forced me to go for it 'even as a wall decoration' but fortunately the guy had pulled the listing in the 30 minutes it too for me to cave in.

It was originally going to be a concept album about establishing a church on Sesame Street: "Pastor of Muppets".

I'd love to play that. My keyboard skills would be up to playing the epic intro through my bass rig 🙂

Orange Bass Terror on clean setting, you then have also the option of a bit of dirt if needed for covers.

I can't help thinking basses are a bit like razors... You can keep adding strings/blades and each one adds a bit more, but at some point the law of diminishing returns must set in.

Now this is the kind of feedback I like 😁

These days they are usually just detents fitted to a pot.

Back in the mists of time, top quality hi fi used volume controls with multiway switches and resistors instead of crackly, poorly matched pots. These got associated with a quality feel...

To my surprise I can sing Merry Xmas Everybody and play it!

My tastes and openness to new music have greatly widened with age.

I did think so, but it wasn't clear.

Well the Bass VI started in 1961 and they periodocally do reissues. But at the moment only a Squier version is available. Note that it is intended to tune E to E, so a different range to most sixers.

Bass Terror isn't notched, which is just as well as it gets very loud very fast when the gain is in the golden zone (where how hard you play has a significant impact on tone).

Yeah. You will never unlock the secrets of the fretboard (try this one weird trick) without them.

I was in a band called Two Moon Junction.

It's fretless... you'd soon compensate for any small changes in intonation without thinking about it.

They have a very light wood for the body which will affect a fiver. Never worried me though, I'll just get another wide lekato memory foam strap, ideal for heavy basses but also super grippy.

Have you omitted or disturbed the earth/shield connections to the bridge or outer shield of the pickup wire?

Intended to be used with a preamp. Funnily enough I was thinkg yesterday of reboxing my Joyo BadAss with a PSU and a 500W class d driver. Only wesk point is lack of balanced di and a noise gate on the compression. Both could be added... Something like the Joyo using the fx send with a powered cab would work well for effect-sparse blues rock.

The Warman? Yes silly cheap. But the main variables for pickup construction are style, wire gauge, number of windings and magnet choice. That means making a good one need not be much more expensive than making an awful one.

But... tonewood... maple... rosewood... ebony... does not compute .... fizzz ,, <no carrier>
