  1. Wee bit of fret buzz on the Spector earlier. A tiny nth of a turn on the truss road and it's buzzless & singing like a canary again. God I love this bass.

  2. My bandmate's old A/B switch died at our gig the other night. I said I'd take a look at it for him... just took it apart, and two of the three jack sockets fell apart in my hands :lol:

  4. Happy New Year one and all. I have a question. Does anyone still use their Boss ME50B? Even after a factory reset does it go stupid loud in 'memory mode'? Is it a common fail of this iconic unit and besides upgrading is there a remedy that won't break the bank of Dave P-Bass ? long or short, your answer answers are very welcome.

      @Marc S to answer your question, yes it sounds faaaar more expensive than 102 quid. Really superb tone... smooth lows and crisp glassy highs, and lots of power. I still can't believe my luck, a Spector for the price of an Encore.

      I'm still more than happy with the price TBH, I've always fancied a Spector and this is a good cheap way to join the fun. Also I don't have to worry about it getting a bit beaten up!

  8. Watching the mighty James Taylor Quartet, in Burnham-on-Sea of all places. Oh my word ❤

  9. Spotted a really handsome P copy on my local Farcebook marketplace... nice purple finish with only a couple of minor dings, maple neck, on close viewing the action looked pretty low which was a good sign, and very cheap too... so I thought I'd get it as a possible base for modding... send a message... I missed it by 10 minutes apparently 😭

  10. Why is that book so thick?

    It's a long story...

      I'm actually 5-jabbed, I received 3 of them as part of the A-Z trial I participated in. However, perhaps crucially, I missed my autumn booster last year. I imagine it left a hole in my immunity.

      Very faint pos test today. Nearly out of the woods. My lungs feel like they've been beaten with a steak mallet though. Very wheezy.

  16. The inventor of velcro recently died. RIP.

  17. Should I sell my spare head? Been wondering for a while. I have a Markbass LM3 & a Markbass LM800. I generally use the LM3 for gigs etc, and the LM800 for practice. How many amps have you got? Ever thought of shifting them? Do I need two amps, or should I shop one in? Hmm…thoughts?

  19. Waiting for the call after an audition (on lead guitar) this afternoon. Did everything I could think of to make it work in my favour - learned more songs than they asked for, spent time on getting the sounds right, got there early, did some BVs. I defo want the gig (1 year dep slot) - just have to be patient now.

  20. Bought a Zon Legacy Standard…arrives tomorrow 😁

  21. Just seeing a friend is having to let go of a lot of his basses - possibly the single biggest collection of ACGs to go up for sale too. Would be good to see them go to good homes so keep your eyes on Bass Direct.

  22. Trying to cook some lunch, but Kanye West keeps ringing the bloody doorbell ...

  23. Follow-up to my NSBD (New Skirting Board Day), finally got some in place. Very pleased with the design. I don't do a lot of DIY so I'm quite chuffed with this.

  24. Keys player went sick at 8am this morning for tonight’s gig. Spent the day piecing together a set that we can perform as a trio. It will be interesting if nothing else! 

  25. NCD! barefaced Six10 just delivered, pics to follow when I get chance to unbox (otherwise it clearly didn't happen)

     

    Really need my orange cabs to sell now :)
