Very much enjoy this name! 😂

I play in an originals band called The Julian Year… we got told we were “cyber nu-metal”. Still do not know what that means! We’re difficult to classify. We’re not metal enough for metal, but too heavy for rock. Almost an Electric Callboy / Architects / Bring me the horizon / Enter Shikari vibe. Heavy guitars, bass, vocals but with EDM inspired synths. We have existed for about 15 years, and went through line up changes with new names and styles often. Myself and the guitarist have been constant. We then got a drummer who we moved to vocals and he’s been a staple. Currently, we gig rarely. Maybe every few months. Finding gigs is hard! We got played on Alyx Holcombs introducing rock on Radio one. That was cool. We also made a video for that song. Budget baby! you can also find us on spotters, Apple, YouTube and the like!

Initially it was “sorry - prices are needing to go up. You know what it’s like”. Everywhere I’ve seen so far has been about 40-60 - which id have been happy with paying. 125 for the same service seems bit of a kick.

The price was £47.50 in 2022, I was quoted £125 yesterday.

Posted but maybe shouldn’t name. Will PM.

Cheers folks, there is a drastic change on the nut tbf - standard to A#. But that was the exact same back in ‘22. Every bass I get gets the same treatment. String gauge is usually 105 to 135. EDIT: also - there has never been a new nut fitted, always just filled to suit the larger strings.

This is lovely! I keep looking at this finish on the aerodynes and proper consider it!

Hey guys, I’m wondering if anyone in the know could advise the cost to setup a bass from standard to lower, with the nut being adjusted to suit the larger strings? Also, adding the strap locks which I believe needs a wee bit of drilling? Right now, I have no idea how to do it myself and was generally happy to pay. But since 2022 when I was first using a local place, the cost has increased 163%. I understand everything costs more nowadays but I feel this is a bit mad… it’s kinda making consider buying the tools and cheapo bass and learning myself. obviously, I understand there maybe cost changes depending on area but I’m looking for ballpark really. thanks in advance.

Aye that’s me. I hadn’t updated my sub for here yet ha!

Completely agree.

I’m not sure if Dawn and Rob are starting to wind down to a proper retirement.

Always could consider the D-roc from Dingwall! Sparkles! https://www.andertons.co.uk/d-roc-4-khaya-gloss-metalflake-aquamarine-3-pickups-pau-ferro-standard-head-pr34gmapsh-x-1/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20740064305&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyIPDBhDBARIsAHJyyVhcN5hV5ovyP-c8mdHanR51HO2ePrDSwzyfnR-tmoVZT19Q-ireEV8aAuJREALw_wcB

Fellow aberdeen bassists… any of guys any good at setups in low tunings? 😬 some nut work likely required

Cheers for sorting this out @neepheid!
