    Ta Yes, the stock OLP neck was a real baseball bat. This JD fretless neck is a dream.

    Been umming and ahhing about this, thought I'd canvass some opinion. Black hardware -- tuners, bridge, control plate, knobs. Yes or no?
  3. Rich
    This, absolutely.
  4. Rich
    ^^ yup, that. I use the B string a hell of a lot. We have a big horn section, so the Eb gets a lot of action.

    Ohhhhh a Performer. I have major longings for one of these.

    I need to plan it around actually having some money

    I adore this song. Such a beautifully sparse arrangement. I could quite happily listen to just Vinnie Colaiuta's drum part, it is sublime.

    To my mind, the issues of who got offended over what and which bathroom they use are entirely irrelevant (and it's a bit sad that in the 21st century we, or some at least, still think someone's gender identity is fair game for ridicule). For me, the only issue here is the mind-boggling unprofessionalism of the engineer. Offended or not, upset or not, just not turning up without a word to anyone is inexcusable. If I did that at work, I'd be in a world of poo.

    Another classic. Pneumatic Auto Retardation of Passenger Stock A plan to replace buffer stops at terminal railway stations with huge airbags, thus obviating the need for drivers to slow down at all on the station approach and so saving precious minutes off journey times. PARPS was abandoned when the office tea lady pointed out that the airbags would stop the trains but not the passengers.

    A couple of reviews from BCers here. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/258828-nbd-sire-marcus-miller-v7-alder-4-awh-audio/?tab=comments#comment-2732077 https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/335302-sire-marcus-miller-v7-5-string-alder-1st-gen/

    I really wouldn't. Looking too closely at a Goggle Pish Bass could leave you psychologically scarred for life.

    I've got an ash 5 string 1st gen, had it since 2015 and it's my go-to live bass at the moment. Yes it's a tad heavy, but replacing the tuners with Hipshot licenced ones saved half a pound in weight. It plays beautifully and sounds fabulous. What more needs to be said?
  13. Rich
    Zig? A Zig? Ah.
  14. Rich
    Yes. There was a time when Goggle wasn't seen anywhere without a Gaylord. I think it worked a lot better than his short lived Fender sig model. For some reason it never really caught on.
  15. Rich
    Someone will be along in a minute to tell us how much better the Shitenbacker Bananaboat Gaylord I was.
  16. Rich
    I had a Shitenbacker Bananaboat Gaylord IV at one time. You didn't miss much, to be honest.

    A band I depped with had Gimme x 3 in their set. Lots of fun and a great opportunity for a cheese solo

    Classic ska/reggae is all about the bass. Your gear should be ideal for the job; roll off the old tone pot a bit and get a big phat warm tone. Having said that, there really aren't any hard and fast rules. Just do what works best for your mate's songs. I tend to keep a bit of snap in my tone for some songs as I like the way it cuts through (Nite Klub, for example).

    Looking for someone who could make a small run (probably 12 at most) of approx. 6"x1.5" single sided PCBs without costing the earth. Any recommendations? Local to Bristol/Wiltshire would be nice, but not mandatory.

      Free shipping world wide. I've used them dozens of times very happily. Not the cheapest, but great quality and no language barriers, hidden costs, etc.

Would have been quick, but I missed the Chinese New Year deadline. I'm going to order some more pcbs from them soon as my design has evolved.

      Thanks guys :) excellent tips

    That is going to be soooo lovely. I have long dreamed of getting Mark to build me a light relic '65 Jazz in candy apple red (an original being about £8000 out of my price range) and this is doing the GAS no good at all. So, thanks a bunch.
  22. Rich
    Hope your recuperation goes well 👍 short term pain but long term gain, and all that.

    This is very disappointing. No deserted warehouses or shootings in the face, no retirements from public life? Tsk.

    My music collection goes from Abba to ZZ Top (nothing by Aardvark or Zzzz, unfortunately), with Motörhead next to Mozart... but more often than not these days, I'll choose either prog rock/metal or fusion. Or an audiobook, in the car.
