  1. A placebo effect is still an effect ๐Ÿ‘
  2. Agreed ๐Ÿ‘
  3. Flats on a stingray are glorious ๐Ÿ‘ But then flats on any decent bass are glorious ๐Ÿ™‚
  4. Preference requires no inference ๐Ÿ‘
  5. Irrespective of the science, I prefer 15s also ๐Ÿ‘
  6. Plus 1 to all of these ๐Ÿ‘
  7. Theyโ€™ll come after Basschat next ๐Ÿค”
  8. Yes, this is most certainly not a data capture exercise it is 100% aimed at revenue generation
  9. Absolutely, Chris Wood is about as good as it gets on DB and both MMW and The Wood Brothers are well worth a listen ๐Ÿ‘
  10. โ€ฆ.which is why Iโ€™m going to wait and see, I donโ€™t relish defending an HMRC demand for income tax on ebay sales that are in most cases a used item sold for significantly less than I paid for it new. Also eBay can be pretty brutal to sellers, and while it seems ludicrous to suggest it now, I wouldnโ€™t bet against a future scenario in which they withhold or reclaim money that HMRC believes itโ€™s owedโ€ฆ.
  11. Thatโ€™s not eBay thatโ€™s HMRC, Iโ€™ve had my account suspended because I didnโ€™t provide the data. Iโ€™m sure itโ€™s probably OK and a sign of the times but Iโ€™m not really wanting to find ebay sales factored into my taxable income so thought Iโ€™d wait a while and see how the dust settles
  12. Agreed, Iโ€™m going to get creative on this ๐Ÿ‘
  13. Thanks Nick, luthier has accepted the job on the condition that I provide design/dimensions. Iโ€™ll send him that link ๐Ÿ™
  14. Thanks Jack ๐Ÿ‘
  15. I did a pickup gig years ago and the singer without warning shouted โ€˜bass soloโ€™. So I just carried in playing the exact line Iโ€™d been playing albeit with just drums for companyโ€ฆ.. โ€ฆโ€ฆ and the audience loved it. Made me wonder whether us bassists really need s band ๐Ÿ˜†
  16. Excuse my ignorance but why are you testing microphones, especially given they all appear to be giving you similar results? Not criticising, just genuinely interested, all seems a bit eccentric in which case I'm with you ๐Ÿ‘ BTW I went quite mad trying out various permutations of my Townsend L22 Sphere, wish I'd stuck with my SM7-Bs to be honest
  17. There's something so iconic about their beautiful body design and woods with the SC PUP, the aesthetic is perfect ๐Ÿ‘
  18. IME - and I've done both - it's often more economic to simply buy an aftermarket body in the preferred finish than it is to refin the existing body; for example a while back I bought a stunning new Warmoth 3tsb body for not a lot more than a refin had recently cost me, which was close to ยฃ400. OK it's most useful with Fenders/Fenderalikes and MMs of course but there's a 90% chance after all ๐Ÿ‘
  19. Likewise, a timeless classic made all the more amusing when someone refuses to find it funny ๐Ÿ˜‚
  20. Iโ€™m building an interesting fretless with mine, itโ€™s a stunning piece of wood, almost tempted to buy the other one ๐Ÿ‘
  21. Not a very god pic but in short a nice big lump of 80's brass Fender fit ๐Ÿ‘
  22. I've a very well engineered and very solid brass bridge from the 80's that would totally look the part on that bass, I'll see if I can dig it out and post photos later today
  23. Agreed, also listen to Trash on Manifesto, bass as rhythmic engine
