Nice. What are you getting?

@lowregisterhead You’ll have to wait for the NBD thread  

Ha! You tease, you. I've got a Lakland arriving on Friday, so I'll be posting on there shortly myself...

Getting it all in before 2019 eh? 

@Chiliwailer Exactly right  

I modded my ODB-3 a few years back with the Wampler mods; switch to choose clipping diodes and switch to select input caps. I found that switching to different diodes made the overdrive signal separate from the clean. So when blending it sounded like two signals overlaid.

Met a fella called David who stores gear for Music companies while bands aren't touring. If bands split, he's left with it. He has a LOT of gear. He's based in High Wycombe, by the council offices IIRC - give him a ring/email.

It shouldn't take that long to get a custom avatar ...

Shouldn't your boy be in the picture?

No, he’s even more crap at bass than I am @Happy Jack

As if!

Yes!  We like real time support.

That is good. My local Tech speaks very highly of the CS team - always get his order out promptly.

Used real electronics before. They were nothing but amazing.

@Bridgehouse You win it all, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

I'm hungry.

@Sibob I know nothing about it either, so maybe they can!  But to cut a bevel round an irregular shape would be tricky, no? Again I don't know, being a Luddite. It used to be all trees round here... 🌳🌳

@discreet But.....but....computers?!?!? 

I thought I could get away with buying a 3 ply white/black/white scratchplate for my Fender Precision Deluxe, for £30, and leave it in the sunshine to try getting it to a parchment kinda colour. Still waiting.... Its been like 6 months! The alternative was buying a Parchment Scratchplate but it wsa 3 times the price before it even got here from the USA!

true @Clarky72, but here they are:

NBD post also up in Bass Guitars

I guess I just use socials to keep in contact with the ‘wider’ bass community! I barely have any personal stuff Facebook anymore, or rather barely update it with personal stuff. Alllll Bass lol

That is a plan i'm still weighing up - whether to create a new FB account just as me the bass player/singer/musician/painter etc etc, and keep it for professional arts/music stuff, gig dates, videos etc.

But then again i realise the number of people who 'liked' my posts telling them about forthcoming gigs etc didnt actually translate into any of them actually coming along! I'd be better off just texting the people i know who live nearby and might fancy it.

The bass community doesn't get much wider than it is here on Basschat. In fact my doctor says that if anything, I'm TOO wide.

Nicely done! Love this bass line.

Nicely done man

Good skills dude. Nailed the vibe!

A horse or the car??

@TheGreekBoth

@Happy Jack she’s dead....and don’t pretend any  of us are sad about it!

cool

I must admit, I like the look of the Mustang.... but I don't need another bass! lol
I'm sure you you't actually "need" another bass either Sibob - but that won't stop you enjoying it  
Let us know what you think.... no, wait, don't..... or I'll be getting GAS for one

@Marc S You're quite right, certainly don't need it....but always been curious about Mustangs. Think it's going to be fantastic for recording and gigs where we don't have much space to transport gear. Also my wife has taken on some bass gigs, so will be perfect for her too (she plays a Mustang guitar).

You said not to mention its previous guises... 

@discreetWas on Bassworld too, although don’t recall how long that was for!

I cant believe basschat has been going that long. It only seemed a few years ago the name changed and I was Bassworld for a good few years too, crazy how much time has passed.

I wasn't even aware of Gold White Nylons... Hmm...

Look forward to your Chrome vs La Bella thoughts Si! I'm now settled on Fender 9050Ms on my Limelight , very nice combination

Yes, will be interesting to hear any differences from your comparison, although I'm using the 'standard' Flats as opposed to the Original '54 Flats you had.
I really like the Chromes, but with my Lakland having the La Bella Gold Flats on now, which are brighter with more attack (similar to Chromes), thought I'd try something a little more thump and mellow on my Precision. Plus means I can now potentially get all my strings from one brand.

Good luck with the gig and sales of the EP Sibob

Thanks

I've played there a couple of times. Its always been great. 

You're not helping with my fretless GAS

Wait until you hear it!!

Have you found them slightly quieter than regular nickels or flats? I loved the tone of them on my P but then output was def lower!

@davebass66Hmmm, can't say I've noticed a volume dip compared to the Chromes on my '71 Precision, but difficult to know what other differences are coming from the pickups etc (my 44-94 is a custom passive P/J). Not noticed anything significant going from the factory rounds it had on it to the Golds, but not to say there might have been some very minor differences, nothing my amp can't handle lol.

I was about to ask if you noticed a volume drop. I had a huge volume drop on my Precision. I was previously using Chromes and Rounds.  

@discreetIt’s only an 80’s bass if it’s headless and white with black hardware! 

Yeah, that's the other sort of 80s bass... that I don't like.

I have the la Bella low tension flats on my 55-94 currently... sound's the dog's!

Many thanks for the offer Marc

Stableyard Music at Hatfield House have a large range of Ukes - you'll probably have to visit them to see which are any good.

Tell John I sent you.....

Cheers for that Mick, although hoping to borrow and record one first to see if it does what I need

Mwah!

Ah, now I see. What did you opt for Sibob?
