    Gulp!!

    Just sold a pickup to Aidan. Lovely easy sale, great guy to deal with, thanks.

    I must admit, my muscle memory is pretty much rooted in 5 string, but I have played very little on the 4 so far. Had to think a lot harder, but it was the physical effort that I think is going to be the longer term proble. Thanks for the insight though.

    So am I correct in reading this as you are more comfortable with the low E being your second string in? Perhaps I should go BEAD as even in this new project (as I don't go particularly high on any of the songs).

    Thanks @therealting - so either depth or width should compensate. Better get out there and try a few necks as this skinny Jazz one isn't going to be right for me I feel.

    I've just started playing four string in a project - an all US parts built P bass with a Jazz neck, and am wondering if I should swap to a Precision neck as I found after about four songs my left hand was tiring. The five string I have is a fretless with a Jazz profile, so I like the shallow but wide feel. Would a deeper )P style) profile help compensate for the lack of width of the four string neck? Thanks. Mike.

    Not a hit, but...

    Try posting in the build section - you'll get much more interest in this post from the friendly bunch over there: https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/15-build-diaries/ and more advice and opinions than you can shake a stick at! Personally, I don't like the feel of open pore styles - shame as they are a feature of every Ibanez I've ever liked the look of.

    Oops, forgot, King King was this year. Dull, dull, dull.

    1. Most memorable (for good reasons) gig played: This Friday - Emsworth Music Club. Still bedding in as a band, but we were great, really nice audience, they all paid to get in and we mad a nice bit of money (by pub band standards). 2. Most memorable (for bad reasons) gig played: Rock & Roll band I joined for a short time. Did 4 gigs across two days at the Birmingham Jazz Festival. First one was outdoors, in the rain in a shopping centre, with some very odd types knocking about. And/or 3. Most memorable (for good reasons) gig attended: Tedeschi Trucks at the London Palladium. Best sound ever, and up in my top three gigs of all time. 4. Most memorable (for bad reasons) gig attended: Fortunately, none.

    This ^ My old band used to do this - heartbreaking how relevant it still is.

    Sold subject to the usual.

    Kent Armstrong Vintage Alnico P Bass pickup was in my BYO parts build but I've just replaced with a Quarter Pounder. Nice pickup at budget price. Price includes postage.

    Getting back to the Short 12 Bar, no never heard that, but understand what you are describing. If anything, a short walk. I'd suggest he takes a long one, off a short pier!
  15. Mykesbass
    Yep!
  16. Mykesbass
    Same drummer too. Would be great to hear his un quantised version.
  17. Mykesbass
    Yes, hit and miss for me.
  18. Mykesbass
    New genre, Motown Metal!! But yes, thanks and @Linus27, for this. Makes a lot of sense.
  19. Mykesbass
    Don't apologise, that's why I asked. Will listen again paying attention to those to see if that's where it is coming from. Thanks.

    Had this on in the car and was really grabbed by the feel of this track. Can't work out what is making this such a tasty groove? Pretty sure it is mainly down to the drummer, but what is making it special? (of course you are welcome to disagree that it is)!!

    Suggest you do Stevie Wonder's excellent cover of it 🤨

    Signed and shared.

    I had one of these when I had my guitar shop. Put Picato flats on. End pins fine, but the nut needed re-cutting.Sounded so much better with them on.
  24. Mykesbass
    Great musicians on the show. Had the pleasure of working with Tommy Blaize when we were both much younger. Great singer and pianist and wonderful person to go with it.
  25. Mykesbass
    Yes, but pretty sure this was the (cherry red) 12" version.
