Great thread. I first played bass at 12 in the school band and trombone. First real gig outside that enviroment was in 85 St Chads Cathederal in Brum did a Live Aid thing and " State of Art" did a 45 minute set of covers. My Kay Bass and Sunno bass amp in the pocket! 

Really enjoyed listening to this. I like Rio by Duran and jamerson. The rest all work for the song, but all basically Rock based songs. 

I sometimes dep in a Quo tribute. I dont think the rossi guy would like it but i love it. Colour is beautiful

Are you happy with your hair brush?

Lovely! How exciting. Look forward to your unfolding story

Evening. 

Can anyone advice on what i would need to look for to replace the pups on my Honher Jack 4 string? i have the dimensions of the pups at 68mm length x 32mm wide. This is an approximate size ( my eye sight is stinky poo) The bass is passive. Ive gone back to it after it sitting dormant for a while. I like bridge pup but the neck pup is very dull. . I was thinking about converting to an active bass. However not sure if this is possible? @KiOgon

Any advice appreciated

KP

Wonderful musician. Loved his work with Ellis Beggs & Howard. His Chapman stick playing was so cool

I see this as being very simple. its a ZON. Can you move the capacitor or as suggested just leave it in the cavity.

RIP

Hello all

i have a Bassbone OD which, is 15v. My question is. How do I use my voodoo lab to power this? When I only have 9 & 18 V options on the power brick?

 Thanks in advance

I know it’s an unpopular choice these days butits just what personally works best.

More power to ya.  I completly agree regarding the room feel. I sometimnes think it would be worth the engineer dropping a couple of microphones on the room so they can add a bit of bleed into the mix

It is with some tinge of sadness i write this post. As an avid chatter, I generally check out all sections just in case. However i realised ive stop looking at the Amp and Cap Section. Ive just turned 52, so lumped all the classic amps & caps  up flights of stairs, 1 x 15 , 4 x 10 , 6 x 10 and the 8 X 10 beast with all manor of heads.  i moved to a Helix Stomp and IE set up a couple of years ago and have no need for an amp. I use a bassbone DI and a Bass rig 64 as back ups, all on the same pedal board. I have a lovely Markbass head and cap in the studio gathering dust. I honestly never thought i would  not own an amp, but im serioiusly considering getting rid of the MB rig.  The helix is perect for my setup, deb gigs etc. What to do. Im serioiusly conflicted. Has anyone just gone completley amp free?

Sold a 5 string Sterling to Norris. Great transaction. Met up locally. As usual a really friendly chatter. 

Because he can!

For sale, in perfect condition. This wondeful tone monster of a 5 string bass. It has obvious pedigree, with the links to Musicman. Even though this is the more affordable range, it can hold its own with any 5 string. The build quality is spot on and it plays really well. Its a beautiful Ruby red colour and has the rosewood neck. In perfect conditon no marks etc. Has never been gigged. Only selling as im just not playing much.

Pino. For his ability to slot in. 

I don’t get it. Used to be fine 

YES!!. That was my instrument in school. I wanted Trumpet but Craig Gardener got the last one. I ended up with Trompone, which i adored but my family not so much. Still love it
