Bassybert

It’s weird as playing bass/music is my favourite hobby and I only have 1 bass which I obviously use for everything. I do like other kit, and do look at other basses with an eye to getting another one maybe a stingray or jazz but I know in reality I don’t need it and I’m happy with my precision. I also play club cricket and have literally gone through more bats than I care to think about, sometimes several a season. What that all means I have no idea 😂

I can help if needed Phil, have done a fair bit of technical drawing over the years.

Should have just bitten your lip and closed your eyes… 😉

That’s both hilarious and really sad at the same time. I’m imagining him breathing away like some sort of Davros/Darth Vader hybrid whilst playing!!

From reading this thread it’s pretty obvious most singers are completely delusional 😂

Some things are just meant to be 😊

I think Ceriatone do a B15 style kit, by all accounts their kits are great quality. https://ceriatone.com/aunt_peg/ I built a 5e3 Tweed Deluxe about 20 years ago and love it. Built the cabinet from scratch with finger joints and everything.

Forget the basses, it's all about the travel romance novels for me 🤩

Bought a pair Brian’s chinos, arrived super quick, well packaged and make me look dapper. What more can a guy want. He’s a top guy to deal with 😊

True, maybe the Hulk is in the market for a stack😁 A couple of replacement wheels would probably be easy to sort though.

Browsing reverb and saw this earlier - might be good for someone in London. £100 for an 8x10 is a steal. Reverb listing

I'm confused just looking at the bottom one, it's like something from the Millennium Falcon! Do you even bass 🤣

Thanks Brian, all paid and have PM’d you with my address thank you ☺️

Can I take the 38R grey pair please 😊

Did you get any further with this build @JPJ?

Very interesting thanks for posting. There's no doubting the quality of these instruments, and while they're not really my cup of tea sound wise you can't help but admire the passion and craft that goes into Alembic basses, it's all absolutely top notch.

Reading that (and I’m not sure why I did to be honest 🤣), it seems to me the modus operandi for all this is to test the ceiling people are prepared to pay for his pedals. Substantial price increases inbound. I really don’t get all the furore around pedal culture. Most of it’s snake oil selling and marketing bull.

Not Motown specific but a lot of Stax basslines by Duck Dunn are great fun to play, some of them are easier and more groove orientated than Jamerson style stuff. A few personal favourites I play regularly for practice are… Sitting on the dock of the bay Tramp Born under a bad sign Some of the easier Motown tracks could be… What becomes of the broken hearted Ain't too proud to beg You’ve really got a hold on me Shotgun

If he wants to sell them like that and people are stupid enough to pay over the odds prices then that’s up to them. Just vote with your feet and take your business elsewhere. The amount of money people are shelling out on pedals that are at best slight variations on the same theme is insane. Gotta catch ‘em all indeed…

Bought Andy’s Markbass Compressore. Turned up bang on time, as described and well packaged. Pedal sounds awesome, bit of darkness to the top end but I like that and plenty of grunt when digging in. A great guy to deal with, thanks a lot Andy 😊

Hudson Broadcast? Always seems to have a really nice warm breakup sound

Karl bought a set of LaBella flats and was the perfect gent, great communication and fast payment. Thanks a lot, I hope the self build fretless goes well 😀
