I’d save for 3-4 years and get a Fodera or (insert uber priced brand here) Si
-
Am on the move and can’t quite picture what you mean, got a screenshot? Si
-
See that’s a legit reason, however it doesn’t seem to be the usually cited impetus. Si
-
My (limited) understanding is that you wouldn’t have a 1-piece ash neck in the same way as a maple neck, for stability reasons. However using the three (or more) ash pieces increases stability significantly. Again, maybe @skelf can comment Si

If you want to minimize your losses (ie if you’re not sure you’ll get on with it), buy used. Otherwise I’d estimate you’ll lose about £500 selling it on based on the ‘new’ price, give or take. Si

Heads-up for this coming Sunday! 5 tickets left apparently Si
-
Then I'd argue it's not football that's hampering your practice.....it's beer and women!! 😆 Si

Currently on the free Trial for Helix Native......ultimately testing out the sounds for the HX Effects. I'm sceptical that it can replace my pedalboard, but always up for being wrong Si

Judging the whole competition (and football in general) based on one, fairly average, game is not particularly fair is it. But anyway, back to the OP, what's to say you can't sit and play bass whilst watching? There's a lot to be said for simply running scales and basic maintenance like that whilst the TV is on. I read an interview with someone (forget you) where they said they would have documentaries on and basically improvise and play as if they were the sound-track.....fantastic practice! But ultimately, don't be afraid to take a break from playing! Whilst practice is important, so is life.....as that feeds into your playing! It's once every 4 years (2 if you like the Euros too), give yourself a break and go even harder on the bass when it's finished Si
-
I should have (way) more specific! I don’t know why people on the forum, who otherwise usually own some decent basses, get excited about basses that cost same as a set of strings......etc etc Si
-
All the headstock shapes differ from each other lol, zoom in and compare. Really don’t know why people get excited by Basses that are cheaper than some string sets. Unless money is a genuine problem, they’re not going to be worth your while! Si
-
Just out of curiosity, what are you hoping to hear from the amp in a music shop that is going to inform you what it sounds like at a gig in a band situation? Si

Is there definitely an update available? Latest version of Lite appears to be 9.7.6 If you're version is showing as older than that, but not detecting an update from within Ableton, you may need to contact them directly in order to find the best solution without losing all of your templates/settings etc. Whilst we obviously package Ableton and can offer some insight into how it works with our gear, we don't offer support on that kind of issue (ie their update servers etc). You shouldn't need to update Ableton to run the Launchkey, you'll want to explore the 'In-Control' functionality of the Launchkey and the what it means to not have that selected. There's a DAW setup article here: https://d2xhy469pqj8rc.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/novation/downloads/10606/launchkey-mk2-daw-setup-guide.pdf Page 10 of the manual starts to talk about the differences between 'In Control' mapping and basic DAW mapping: https://d2xhy469pqj8rc.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/novation/downloads/10577/launchkey-mk2-ug-en_0.pdf Si // Novation

Stunning! Really don't see many of these at all, great way to own a 50's style vintage bass without paying vintage prices. Si -
Oh it's so lovely! Si- 51 replies

I use them, you’ll get used to it, try wearing them 20-30mins before you start playing to acclimatise. If you’ve come to using them from nothing, or even crappy foam things etc, they’re a big jump. Ultimately, it’s use them, or ‘get into the atmosphere’ and lose/damage your hearing quicker. Si

Still looking for a Bartolini Precision pickup to borrow for a few days if anyone has one in a drawer somewhere
-
Glad to hear you went for the La Bella’s!! Looks great with the P! A matching set to my Mustang/71 P Si
-
Yes, I had the same thing, largely resolved by playing with a lighter touch for sure!! Si
-
Yeah I have La Bella Gold White Nylons on my Lakland 55-01, very very cool strings, love them. Low tension, so super responsive and sound great. Actually quite bright for Nylons, so might explore the White or Copper Nylons next, however I'm in no rush, they mellow well with some mild treble reduction on the EQ. Si

Will get one tonight for you! It's really quite a thing of beauty, but most importantly it feels and sounds amazing. My main goal was a full range bass (ie 6 strings), but in a small package, but that still felt familiar. I played Eude's 31.5" scale 6er ACGs and they weren't quite for me. My old Fodera Imperial was 33" and felt fantastic, so we went with that. Because it's headless, as well as medium scale, it should fit in a Mono guitar bag.....no more ducking when getting on trains lol Si

The Bass Gallery Presents: A Masterclass With John Patitucci
Sibob replied to thebassgallery's topic in Events
Very cool, but 3-5 on a week day? Just expecting the students to turn up then? lol (Well aware this kind of thing needs to fit around John's schedule, just gutted I can't make it because adulting) Will be a blast though, great job for putting it on, more of these please! Si -
Those Laurel fingerboards look gross from those pictures, like really dry and cheap Rosewood! The soapbar’d maple board Jazz looks great though! Si
-
Don't see many BDPG's come up, love that thing! Si
