The depressing thing is that when you do go to the trouble of putting them in, no-one else notices. But you do feel better about yourself...😂

Recently fitted Gemini Mountain Lightning pickups to my JB. They sound immensely good, and Mike is a great guy to deal with.

I play it slightly differently, with my index finger (not thumb) playing the open A (raking down from the D string on the G and F#) and an extra 1/16th note open A between each 1/8 note group. Would be a lot easier to demonstrate than describe...😀 The extra open A really helps to drive the rhythm along, and feels really natural once you get the hang of it.

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2023?

Bought HX Stomp + bits n bobs from Andy. Very helpful guy, quick delivery, couldn't be better!

Well, personal taste comes into it of course, but to my eyes the curves of both the Sadowsky and A-C headstocks flow naturally into one another, and work well together. The Sire headstock is just an awkward-looking mess that makes no geometric sense. One could well say "so what" and that's a perfectly valid position to take. 😀

Yes, I see you're right now. Had it down as a standard V7 when I saw them last night, but I was a fair way back.

Saw the Blockheads last night at Dingwall's. They were great. Isn't that just a standard Sire V7?
-
Cheers for the replies. I gave Gemini a call, and the chap there was really helpful so I ordered a pair of their “mountain lightnings” which will hopefully get my trousers flapping.

Thanks - just checked out their web page. Which jazz pickups do you have?

Hi Looking for someone to make me a pair of custom pickup replacements for my 1970's Fernandes Jazz Bass. The pickups on this are both "standard JB" neck pickup sized, so I need a pair of neck-pickup sized PUPs, but one needs to be opposite polarity, so I can't just buy 2 single neck pickups. Hence the need for a custom jobby. Any recommendations?

Ditto: mine took a while to come, but 100% kosher. Hope I didn't do anything incorrect by posting the link in the original post. Just thought it would be of interest to others. These genuine bargains/pricing anomalies do pop up from time to time on Amazon.😊

I never buy new basses, so not for me, but nevertheless the price looks OK compared with, eg Fender Custom Shop offerings. -

I like it.

Whereabouts in Oxfordshire are you? There are top bow people in Oxford.

Can you give more details about the "teaching" cello? Edit: It's OK, I found it on Musical Chairs. Pretty sure I could find a home for this in Sheffield, if you struggle to sell it locally.
