  1. Experimental ramp fitted to the Spector. A piece of scrap laminate floor cut to size and sprayed with about a dozen coats of rattle can black and lacquer, and then carpet-taped in place. I'll see how it goes.

  2. Just sold a strap to John and really pleased it’s gone to a great home! He’s great to deal with, great coms, fast payment and a lovely bloke 👍

    thanks again mate 😉

  3. I've noticed my left ear was a bit muffled of late, so all this week I've been popping a few drops of Otex in each evening in an attempt to soften it all up... last evening I gave it a good flush out with some hot water, and now not only can I hear in glorious stereo again, but I've got the makings of a good sized candle. zzzzzzzbx3o48f1K6x6.gif.b2b3fc9149a80279e6c0387c2182a48e.gif

     

  4. I never realised how useful fret markers on the side of the neck were until I played a bass without them.  Shortscale too.  I sound like Les Dawson playing the piano.

  5. I have a gig tomorrow. One of the songs we're playing is I Can't Make You Love Me. Question is: do I bring a fretless just for that 1 song (out of over 20)?

  6. Might be needing a gigging head again soon and the Laney Digbeth 500 is tickling my pickle

  7. Bloody Couriers!

  8. Phone interview with an artist tomorrow for some studio & possibly live work!

  9. 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.

  10. 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:

  12. 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.

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

  17. 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 😭

  18. 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.

  23. Merry Christmas everyone!
