Fair enough, but looks like the OP's comment on the sound quality (as opposed to volume) was through the line out. @WrexhamBassist I'd seriously suggest trying a second Rumble 12. They do turn up fairly regularly and will be a relatively budget conscious first step to sorting this problem.

This. I had two. Certainly not the source of any muddiness. Would have still had them apart from a rare pair of Purple Chili cabs came up on here.

As @BigRedX says. Freddie Green - perhaps the greatest Jazz rhythm guitarist of all time mainly played on 4 strings.

Well at least it's a major road.

I just Googled that number to make sure you hadn't made it up - so serendipitous!

Shouldn't this have been posted in the Playing in Church thread 😎

I was wondering which rock bands King James was listening to back then.

Something that survey shows is that US likes music overall more than UK. My observation on this, having been in record company telesales for 4 years in the early 80s, is that the UK's music tastes were highly polarised back then. Dance music was king all across the home counties, and across the south in general. From Luton upwards we couldn't sell dance music for love nor money except in a few larger cities. Even then there was a split in BPM, with northern cities preferring up tempo tracks, and south going for slower stuff. Midlands and North East was great for selling all types of rock.

Congrats on the review, but where can we hear this funky liquid?

@Baloney BalderdashPiccolo means small so you're OK on that one not being an oxymoron. Had you said soprano then the grammar police would certainly have you bang to rights.

I heard some clips of one of the Premiums with Nordstrand Big Singles in. Sounded so good I really wanted one, but I don't like open pore necks.

I have a very good friend who I only see once in about every three years due to his incredibly busy schedule. He has three very high level jobs as a pro drummer and MD. One get together was near to Christmas, and when we talked about what we were doing there was some genuine sadness and regret that he doesn't have his own family. His level of touring just wasn't compatible with a steady relationship.

Have you checked the tutor section in the Basschat Marketplace?

Whatever happened to the jumble sale? They don't seem to exist anymore. Then again, there wasn't the proliferation of charity shops and car boot sales when the jumble sale ruled the second hand world.

In the world of auctions, antiques etc, 20 years. I'm looking forward to someone listing a Danelectro as Mid-Century Modern 😎

Happy birthday @Bluewine

Sorry to hear this - take care of yourself @Newfoundfreedom

OK, bit of a convoluted title, but watched the Bradley Cooper/Lady GaGa film the other night. Although not the greatest performance (but pretty good for an actor), I did like the style of music that Bradley Cooper was playing - a sort of heavy Country tinged Rock/Blues. I thought of Chris Stapleton - but that's too Country. The nearest I have found is a bit older, and not as heavy in Delbert Mc Clinton. Can anyone recommend anything similar - riff based, but with a bit more structure and more interesting songwriting than most of the Blues/Rock that I know. Thanks.

Much like Thomann with Harley Benton, I can't imagine that Guitar Guitar will want to tarnish their reputation with a shoddy budget line, so I think it will be a good buy. Let us all know once you have given it the once over.

Now that has spurred a good idea - Match of the Day Theme. May well get the attention of the football punters!

That'll be a tonne then (now where's that pedant emoji...)

I think they had to move to appointment only after a fairly substantial theft 😟 What's their bass stock like now - they always had a great reputation for guitars, but limited stock for us low enders?

I think there's a typo in your thread title...

Great story, great bass. And five string fretless at 11, I'm seriously impressed.
