Harps

Ah man, that’s awful. I quite liked the Manchester store - in fact, I was due a trip there on Saturday. Eldest has nearly finished his exams and wants an acoustic skinny string to celebrate. youngest wanted to stare longingly at the Mike McCready strat. But obviously, that’s just a disappointment for us - very sad for the staff.

I was going to get the Buff McKagan P-Bass, but I can’t cope with the 15lb weight

I’ll be there as well! I saw Bruce at the Isle of Wight festival in 2012 and he was brilliant. I always had it in my mind to see him at one of his own shows. only downside is the complete lack of parking available. I got the tickets from Twickets and didn’t think to check if there was football on at the same time. I’ve found a place, but it’s a decent walk away

Decided to go a bit stupid with some upgrades. Anyone able to hazard a guess as to which hipshot tuners would be the easiest replacements? Im looking at the technical drawings but im about as technically minded as a rock edit - I reckon its HB7.

Exactly what I was thinking!

Flipping heck, off to eBay I go! looks amazing!

This might be the perfect excuse to order a spare before I go hacking it up with a dremel!

Cheers - I did presume so. I’ll take the pick guard off and take a look. It sounds good as-is anyway

Had a good blast last night. Really like the bass. I had to do a little set up adjustments which isn’t something I’m that good at but it’s playing really nicely now. one, possibly stupid, question though - I can’t seem to adjust the next pickup at all. I’m presuming I should be able to raise it? It just feels very tight and won’t lift at all.

How does black on black look?

Good news, mine just arrived. Had a quick unplugged play and it looks pretty great. Looks unplayed, and included a little baggie of plectrums and a cleaning cloth. Can’t wait to get it home and have a proper go! I also noticed one has reappeared on Anderson’s website. Luckily it’s another black, I may have had some explaining to do to Mrs H had it been blue

Along with my bass ☹️

After watching this thread, umming and ahhing and convincing myself I don’t need another bass (I really really don’t), I thought I was out of the woods when they sold out on andertons. but I thought I’d check eBay anyway. £149 and change later, an ‘out of box but unused’ black soloking will hopefully be on its way to me soon! I really need to stop reading these threads!

5 stars from me. I ordered a emg gzr p bass pickup last Thursday. It arrived on Friday but was ivory coloured, not black as expected. I gave them a call Friday afternoon and they sent a replacement out immediately with a return voucher for the original set.l which arrived Saturday. new set installed and sound amazing! ivory set will be winging their way back today. This was my first order with bassdirect. I had previously sold a bass a few years back through them but I’m really impressed they made good with a customer that was practically new to them. I was expecting to have to send them back before a new set would be sent out. so thanks very much - fantastic service

Hey all, a friends son is doing a dissertation on AI in the music industry and was after some help. They asked me, but to be honest I’m not much of a musician and I know nothing about AI. if any of you lovely people would be willing to do a short interview with him, it’d be hugely appreciated. He’s a great guy and it’s such a niche subject he’s really struggling to find interviewees. ‘Hi all, my name is Peter, I’m a third year international business management student doing a project in the effects of artificial intelligence on both artists and the music industry industry. If anyone would be interested in partaking in a short video interview to discuss their views on the future of music production, please contact me via my email. Any help would be greatly appreciated ‘ I’ve omitted his email address as I’m not sure it’s a good idea to post publicly but if you are happy to help, I’ll message it over to you. cheers! H
