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

Revisiting the Boss ODB-3......I mean it's crappy stock, but have ordered the Monte Allums Tri-Gain Mod kit to aid with that issue haha.
It's Boss, so features and functions are excellent, but hopefully this mod will make it more than useable sound wise!- Show previous comments 4 more

@Chiliwailer Exactly right

Long-shot, but anyone in Herts (Hemel)/Bucks (Wycombe) got a Noble Pre/DI I could try?

@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!

Jocee's new EP 'They Say' is now available on Spotify and CD. Let me know what you think. Now let's commence 'spot the fretless':

Anyone still doing Facebook? Just startered a Bass page for myself. If you’re so inclined, go and give it a like & follow!

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.

@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).

Just realised I've been on Basschat for 11 years

La Bella Flats vs Chromes and Lakland Rounds vs Gold White Nylons comparison thread now up in Accessories & Misc forum
-
La Bella Flats & Gold White Nylons have arrived!! The Flats will replace the Chromes on my Precision, but will make some recordings for a direct comparison! Very much looking forward to testing the GW Nylons on my Lakland 5!
-
-
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.

Ooooo JoCee EP release booked at Pizza Express Jazz in Soho, never played there before
-
Bass Collection Jive fretless is sounding excellent on a new JoCee recording!! Very impressed!
-
LaBella Gold Flats fitted to my Lakland 44-94......sounds great on some recordings so far! Can't wait to gig it. Here's to not changing strings ever again?! lol

@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.

LaBella Gold Flats on the way for my Lakland 44-94.....which also happens to be gold

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

Don't suppose anyone in the Hemel Hempstead/High Wycombe areas has a Kala U-bass (or very similar) that I might borrow for some recording? If it gets the result I want, may well purchase one. Cheers

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