His videos are brilliant. Really enjoyed both of them now and tempted to get his book to read during isolation! 

Anyone else watch Like A Prayer then scour the classifieds for Spectors? 🤔

Yeah. I would email Anderton, GAK or Thomann to see if they can order one in. 

I emailed them three days ago and got an email back from Roger yesterday. They are still checking emails.

Been lusting over that for the last week. I'm on the lookout for a decent 5 string and if it was a PJ I'd have bought it in a heartbeat!

There is a nice natural Metro PJ 5 in the For Sale section (not mine).

Might be worth putting in the bass gallery or bass Direct. If I hadn't bought my Sadowsky recently I'd have torn your arm off for this. Especially at this price. 

Duck Dunn and Tommy Shannon as favourites. Just for playing relatively "simple" parts that just enhance the music. 

Might be controversial but surprised Jack Bruce hasn't had a mention yet... 

I haven't changed the mid freq option since I got it so don't actually know what it is set on at the moment. I'd assume its at default which is WIll Lee's preferred setting of 500Hz, broad Q (source: https://www.bassgearmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/issue4.pdf)

Made a quick video of the difference the switch makes:

Also cough. 

The only 4 string I'll ever need. NYC Will Lee. The longer I've had it the more I love it. The Will Lee switch adds a lot of extra mid punch and tonal options to the bass. 

Im currently doing the SBL Technique Accelerator Course. Was about £100 and includes 24 video lessons with workbook and tells you what to practice each week (~20 mins/day at least 5 days a week) to remove some bad habits and improve overall technique/facility on the bass. 

I'm enjoying it and already feel like the practice is paying off. Improved RH finger independence massively! 

Not sure why Scott's bass lessons hasn't come up yet. Really enjoy doing the lessons and the paid content is excellent with good work books. 

Given my practice some structure and my playing has come on loads. 

Not a huge fan of the Youtube style "5 reasons why xxx sucks" things but in fairness that's clickbait to get his actual site more views.

The actual site interviews / Webstreams and classes are great. 

That is beautiful. I got mine a few months ago and don't need another 4 string.  

Damn... thats lovely. I'm tempted to put my Sadowsky up for sale so I could buy this!

GLWTS!

Price drop to £720

Another vote for the TecAmp Puma. A/Bed mine against an Aguilar TH and a MB amp (can't remember which) when I was amp shopping and the TecAmp just edged it over the TH. 

Cheap, lightweight and decent sound flat with a versatile set of EQ options. 

Beautiful. If this was for sale a few weeks earlier I'd have bitten your hand off. Good luck with sale! 

Setup sorted for the foreseeable future!

Bought 2x TKS S112 cabs from him today. He met me halfway making my journey considerably shorter. 

Easy transaction and good comms.

Sold. 

In the same vein as the Snarky Puppy tickets gig mentioned on here.  Marcus Miller is playing Ronnie Scotts between 21-23 July.

Still some standard tickets available.

Hump de bump. 

Having found some cabs to replace this with I can now put my One10 up for straight sale. 

In perfect condition as has never been out of the house. Black grill version. 

Looking at recent for sales here I would like £280 for it. 

Would prefer collection from NW London (Stanmore) but can meet up within 40 mins or so if that helps. 

Spent a couple of hours with it today and I am blown away by 1. how good it sounds and 2. how many different sounds I can get from it.  Really impressed with the electronics and the Will Lee "mid" switch really adds a lot to as well.  Everything from Marcus twang to Motown.

Genuinely love it!

Pino Palladino. Walked in and someone was playing something downstairs amongst the vintage Fenders... I thought the player sounded good. Turns out he was. 

I'm not a great bassist by any stretch because I've only just started relearning but I can safely say my mind went blank... Oh well. Scales it is! 

Went in to the Bass Gallery today to put my old bass up for commission sale and try a few basses out. Thank you to the excellent staff in there for all their help and subsequent set up. I am now a very happy owner of the Sadowsky Will Lee they had for sale in there, although one of my idols was in there at the same time getting some work done on their basses so had no idea what to play! 

Really versatile bass and way too good for me but I am unlikely to be in a position where I could do something like this again. 

Now for sale at The Bass Gallery.
