    I thought the same myself, an old Aria Cardinal or something but the body shape isn't quite right and the headstock has a slant to it whereas the Aria is straight. Also pretty sure Aria's have bolt on necks?

    I love a bit of Michael Nau and was watching a live performance on the Red Bull website of all places and kept looking at the lovely bass the bassist was using. I've never seen one like this before and was wondering what sort of model it could be - Looks like it might be an older Japanese bass that might have been stripped? Looks neck through and has a piece of dowel in a different colour near the bridge from looking at it. Anyone have any ideas what it might be? If anyone's interested the video itself is at https://www.redbull.com/gb-en/videos/michael-nau-live-and-qa

    Bought some Dunlop flats from Tom, great communication and arrived quickly. A top guy to deal with, and the flats are perfect for my precision, what's not to like ☺️

    Is this your own design Luke?

    Ha ha I've been using Herco Flex picks for years and always thought the number meant the thickness!

    Watched Karate last night at the Fleece in Bristol and Jeff Goddard uses one of these in sunburst, sounded epic though an SVT GLWTS

    John bought my pedalboard, an absolute gent to deal with - quick payment and great communication 😊

    Being a big fan of players like Stu Cook, John McVie, Duck Dunn and forum favourite Adam Clayton, I love simpler groove orientated lines locked in with a drummer. I’m also a big fan of players like David Wm Sims from the Jesus Lizard and Dave Allen from Gang of Four who play fairly complex lines sometimes and although i enjoy playing them I find it more taxing and somehow less enjoyable. That might be limitations of my ability though 😂

    I'm a massive fan of Neil Young and Crazy Horse. A lot of the time they're on the edge, capable of falling apart at any moment but that's why it's so good. Live music is all about emotion and being in the moment. The person that notices a mistake the most is the player, then band members as they'll be used to how you play the song. Lastly it's the audience, and in my experience most of them wouldn't even know it's happened - They're largely paying attention to everyone BUT the bass player 😂 Just remember you're playing because you love it, you're not a professional, so stop putting too much pressure on yourself and enjoy the ride - We're all human, and humans make mistakes. Some of us make a lot and are fine with it, some of us like to think we don't make many/any, but still make a lot!

    All gone (Not sure how to close a thread in recycling so adding this message instead) I was given these valves years ago by a family member who did a lot of work on old valve gear - All were working at the time but I have no way of testing any of these. There's a couple of Mazda's and 7-8 Millard's. Located near Bridgwater, Somerset if you wanted to collect - If someone wants to pay postage I'm more than happy to pack and send as well. Thanks for looking, James

    Will upload some tomorrow mate, will be better in daylight as my phone isn't great at photos with lights on.

    I've got a load of pedal making parts that I'm looking to offload in a life admin kind of way - Basically just want to devote my time to playing and not getting involved in the DIY side of things as I have enough going on with band stuff, kids/family, house etc. There's a bulk load of the following... Resistors (various wattages including some heavier ones used for building an amp kit years ago) Capacitors (film, electrolytic, mylar and a couple of Sprague Orange Drops) Jacks (Mix of Switchcraft style and a big bag of black plastic Marshall style ones) Diodes including 1N4001 LEDs including some mounts 3PDT footswitches plus a couple other SPDT switches Transistors (including 3 x B175 Germanium and some very nice BC108s ideal for a Fuzz Face I think) Shielded Wire Stripboard Loads of hookup wire Potentiometers (Including some larger ones for guitars/amps) ICs and sockets - Opamps including TL062 and TL072 - Some Burr Brown and some Texas Instruments. 9v Power Sockets Loads of knobs (He he) Heatshrink tubing Signal generator used for testing circuits Holding hands tool for holding PCB/components while soldering Multimeter Micro drill bit Loads more odds and ends like eyelets, turrets for amp making, terminal strip, flat washers, nuts, star washers, standoffs, jewell lamps x2, crocodile clips Most of this stuff is unused but there are a few pots/jacks that have had solder on them . Also includes a non-working EHX Freeze pedal and some Jeds Peds goodies I got from Gardiner Ben from this very parish last year. He was kind enough to give me some stuff gratis so the items I got from him are included in this bundle but for free. Will include a brand new 33 drawer organiser as well. Looking for £100 (including postage which is probably around £20 due to size) for the lot. Any questions please ask. Thanks, James

    I bought this case from Acidbass about 3 weeks ago - I was looking for a bigger board at the time to add a few extra pedals I have that weren't getting used, but after having a think and a play around on the carpet with the order I'm sticking with my simpler setup on my current Metro 20. Looking for £95 posted (Just looking to get back what I paid for it). These are at least £155 new so a good price, the board and case are brand new and unused, apart from the velcro loop that I've added to the board. Any questions please let me know. Thanks, James

    The Joshua Tree is one of my favourite ever records and you’re bang on about the Americana sound. From listening to interviews over the years it seems like U2 have always had a strange relationship with the US and find the place a bit of an enigma. On one hand you’ve got unbelievable scenery, amazing music, a melting pot of cultures, the American dream etc and on the other hand corruption, politics and the military involvement in a lot of places, especially around Central America during the 70s/80s. The amount of space in the songs on that record is perfect, Adam Clayton's basslines are always serving the song and none of them feel overblown, just the right amount of everything. Brian Eno had a lot do do with that I think.

    If this is one of the NC/YN/CY serials from the mid/late 90s these are seriously good guitars! I've got a red one my daughter uses, full size solid wood body, lovely chunky neck.

    U2 are a big target for musical snobbery across the board, some of the stuff I’ve seen written about the Edge is pathetic. I’m not sure if it’s jealousy behind it all. On the surface some of their music seems fairly simple, so I think people dismiss it as ‘I could do that easily’. I’ve never understood it at all, they’ve written more great songs than most people have had hot dinners!

    I bet that sounds amazing! What GK model is that?

    Hi Luke, do you have a Hammond 1590BBS by any chance please, still not heard anything back from Musikding about the backorder 😫

    Amazing effort well done everyone 😊

    Having looked at a couple of different sources it seems the mid control is acting as a filter... I found this (From Talkbass) by searching on the big G... Aion's own instructions gives the following info... • Mid is a variable bridged-T filter allowing the mids to be scooped or boosted. • Treble and Bass form a 2-band amp-style tone stack.

    Ha, I know exactly what you mean, I used to be a graphic designer and got into web development around 2005/6 which then morphed into data analysis around 5 years ago. 8 or more hours a day looking at a screen full of code means I'm craving hands on/organic stuff!!

    I really like the style of the punched letters 😊

    Thanks mate, I find it quite a relaxing thing to do 😊 I was planning to use some of my children's Posca pens to decorate the enclosure, will probably prime it first and then come up with something a bit creative. It's quite easy to get an old school ZVEX kind of vibe with the pens.
