Jezzaboy popped in to collect a pedal he'd bought from me and was a welcome distraction from my Saturday afternoon chores. It was a pleasure to discuss all things bass fact to face which is something I rarely get the chance to do. Bonus points scored as he is playing in one of my favourite bars in January so I will get a change to go see him and his band play live. Cheers!

Girls Talk - Dave Edmunds. This is a cracking song with a few tricky variations. This is in no way intended to be an accurate transcription, it's simply my interpretation. Girls Talk - Dave Edmunds - Bass.pdf

Beatles 'new' Single, Now and Then, thoughts?
JohnR replied to PaulWarning's topic in General Discussion
As a massive Beatles fan my expectations were low. Insipid with little discernible Beatles character. Plays like a rejected outtake from John's Double Fantasy album. -
The Tony Grey course is very good.

I rarely thwack up!… but i need help with my technique please..
JohnR replied to a topic in Theory and Technique
Could be the strings hitting the frets. Is your action too low or possibly your truss rod does not have enough relief. I only suggest this as I had an identical problem recently. -

A few people have messaged to ask why I am selling such a great cab that is pretty much unused so I thought I'd copy my reply here in case anyone else is curious. I'm downsizing to the bare minimum. I've been through a lot of cabs over the past several years. Vanderkley, Barefaced etc. GRBass were the best of the bunch. Last year I downsized from a GRBass 4x10 to the 2x10 I have now. I thought the 2x10 would be the perfect cab as I very rarely gig and when I do it's with full PA support. However, even the 2x10 is too 'bulky' for the sort of gigs I occasionally play. Once or twice a year I fill in on bass for a band with a 16 piece brass section and the stage is extremely crowded so every cubic centimetre on stage is at a premium. The last few times I played I had to borrow a friends Trace Elliot 2x8 which is why the GRBass 2x10 has never been gigged. I have ordered a 1x10 from LFSYS made by Stevie here on basschat. This should cover all of my needs. https://www.lfsys.co.uk/bassguitarproducts.

I gig very rarely these days but, when I do, I have to learn a lot of songs. I'm in the habit of transcribing them to aid learning and memorisation. These are not intended to be exact transcriptions as the people I play with do their own arrangements which can vary from the originals. I will share a few of the more interesting ones here in case they are of use to anyone but please remember that I am a complete amateur at this and they are not intended to be exact.

Not UK based but Luca has made a few ramps for me for Fender Jazz basses. He takes very detailed measurements and the results are perfect. Top guy. https://www.fingerramp.com/
