    The Fender Tolerance Bass. Leo missed a trick there.

    I liked his approach and the time he took. Helpful review imho. Thankfully we didn’t have to watch him unpack each bass 🤪

    SOLD. Pictures to follow. As title, set of 4 in line right handed large plate machineheads. 1 of the heads is a tiny bit loose, but functions without issue, just wanted to be up front. Comes with bushes and new screws, but the screws are chrome not black ones. Never bothered me using chrome screws with these and (to date) not one audience member has complained about this. Also band members haven’t noticed, although I think this “mod” makes the bass’s core tone have more heft/mids/scooped. However this may not be your experience of course. £15 posted.

    Do people actually buy this stuff for that money? Who are these people and who are there carers? I’m wearing some socks that I bought from a branch of primark located in the same city who’s train station services London. As we know, London is where John Lennon visited once or twice to record some of music's most influential albums. £4K for both. May split.

    I quite like reaction videos. The ones that I get lost in are watching people listening to a song for the first time and being moved to tears because of the emotional impact. Music can be soooo powerful. Funniest ones are people watching the BeeGees for the first time and being shocked that they aren’t black. “Opening a box” videos are for the hard of thinking.

    I get it when I’m walking and a tune will start in my head at the pace I’m walking. Then I have to keep walking at that pace, otherwise it spoils the song. It’s a nightmare in crowded streets when some Ramones tune appears out of the blue 💨

    What’s under the scratchplate? I quite like these without one on, but not if it exposes wires or holes. Thanks.

    Yeah, it’s not made in Lagney thankfully.

    No need Jon, I’ll have a look at what else I’ve got. PM me an address.

    Got a bass neck you’re welcome to. Would you like pictures and measurements? John

    And a foster home has been found. Please close now Mods.
  14. oldslapper
    If she doesn’t find a foster home, I may sand her down and give her a nice rockabilly paint job.

    That’s got me out of trouble 🥵

    it’s obviously not an original, but…. Had no idea this was posted on YouTube. I was helping these guys test their new camera and audio kit. A mate sent me the link. Not sure how I feel about it as I hate my voice and hate seeing myself on camera. It’s why I play bass for others, so I can hide. But I guess it’s out there now, and you only grow when you put the lights on.

    Oh that is lovely, good job! 😎

    I was chatting to a colleague at work on Wednesday who casually mentioned that he had cut down a load of Ash trees on his property over the years and used it for fire wood. When he described the size of the remaining trunks, I suggested he stops burning them.
  19. oldslapper
    Phew! 🥳

    Will the outcome involve tuners at unnecessary angles and a sharpie????

    I don’t have room for 2 DB’s anymore with the number of guitars I seem to have acquired recently (they just appear, it’s weird). Anyhoo I’ve got my very old beater bass that plays great, sounds lovely but looks like it’s been in the ring with Mike Tyson (although it still has its ears). Over the years it’s had more structural and cosmetic work done than Ms Price, but it’s all part of it’s charm. I’ve gigged it and recorded with it. It’s a big old thing. It has a very slim neck compared to my B&H. Thought someone who’s fancied the idea of having a DB around to try but doesn’t want the outlay before they buy one, or someone who’s DB is in for repair and wants something to play. So available for loan if you’re prepared to come and pick it up from Bath. You can try it and decide. No case/cover or pick up included btw. It’s not worth a lot of money, but it’s precious to me and holds a lot of memories. I might be up for a loan swap for a P bass, but not a requirement. Here’s the money shot. Hope this is the right place to advertise.

    Reminds me…. “why was the guitarist standing outside in the rain?” ”coz he couldn’t find the key, or know when to come in” Obvs insert musician of choice to substitute guitarist…

    I agree that for many guitarists, an effect/tone/clean/od is very important. I just wonder if sometimes it’s more of a priority than other (less exciting) aspects of playing? I appreciate that accessing a new or exciting effect or tone can be very inspiring.
  24. oldslapper
    I often wonder about priorities. Would a healthier order of priority be: Right notes Right timing Right feel Right bass Right tone I’ve played with people who obsessed about the last bit above all. It’s a mystery to me. If you can’t play the song well without plugging in, then you can’t play the song well plugged in. But then again I don’t have any pedals so I’ve never fallen down that rabbit hole, probably due to the type of music I’ve always played. It must feel good when you find a pedal setting you like though. 😎

    Gareth sold me the coolest bass I’ll ever own. Perfect gentleman throughout, took care of everything. Many thanks Gareth, top man.
