Respectfully, why is it always the sellers with the highest asking prices who make the least effort with their sales pitches?
-
Ah well, there's a nice start to the week. Redundancy looms.
-

Just a heads up, if it happens. My sister took redundancy this year, which was the equivalent of two years pay. Although the first £30,000 redundancy was tax free, she got taxed at 40% on the rest. If she'd arranged for her redundancy to be paid over two years she could have saved herself a big chunk of tax.

Never really got on with Barefaced cabs but a gen1 Compact has come up locally...hmmmm....
-
Putting together a neo-prog covers project with my guitarist mate @Witters. I thought it'd be hard to find personnel but he already has keen interest from a drummer and a keys player. We're thinking Porcupine Tree, It Bites, Quantum Pig, Fish, Frost*, Steven Wilson, Hogarth-era Marillion... I'm quite excited by this.

A week ago I bought a Fender American Ultra and I can't believe how good this bass is.
-
I have the Elite Precision (the version before the Ultra). It's a great bass except for the jack input which is a cheapo plastic component which failed a couple of years after I bought the bass new. Remember to always use right angled jacks as mine failed after I used a straight jack and it got knocked by accident.

Took my Orange Terror Bass MK1 to rehearsal last night to be met with the studios in house Ampeg fridge. Excitedly plugged in.......pure mud
Ordered some rounds to help (this band doesnt suit my usual flats) and may look at valve changes in the OBT. Very disappointed

Hopefully this will help https://www.talkbass.com/threads/orange-terror-500-bass-eq.1417858/

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.

I used to get mine syringed by the nurse at my local surgery. But a few years ago, after it took 6 weeks to get an appointment, I decided to do it myself. I got a ear bulb thingummywotsit, filled it with warm water and gently squirted it in my ear. It works like a charm and I now no longer need to wait forever for an appointment with the nurse.

How can you safeguard against scams on Fb Marketplace?
There's a bass for sale on there I really would like, but I don't know how to safeguard against getting scammed. 😟 -
ordered a @kiogon loom. if it's half as good as people here are saying, i'll be very happy!
-
Dear Basschat, I have a problem. I am so happy with all my basses and amps etc that I no longer feel the need to come here and look at things endlessly. How long will this feeling last?
-
I already have five Jazz Basses and have serious GAS for a sixth one. What's wrong with me? Please send help.
-
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?
-
How did I never hear of this great forum? I only joined this morning and I'm in the process of buying a bass I've been after for yonks. Result.

Went swimming Monday night, now my ear is blocked, gyarrgh!

Get one of these off ebay and you won't have to worry about ear wax ever again. https://www.crownheightsmc.co.uk/website/J82144/files/Ear Wax Self - Treatment.pdf

I have accepted an offer from a friend to play in his karaoke band. I have to learn like 40 songs for tonight...
-
I learned about 25 songs for a gig in an afternoon. Wrote out all the chords in the rehearsal room with the band. Drove to the gig, which was about 50 miles away, and realised that I'd left my notes in the rehearsal room (duh!).
The Singer, who also played guitar, wrote out as many of the chords of the tunes as he could in the 15 mins before the gig.
Amazingly, it went all right! They even asked me back.
Good luck

45-105 or 40-100 ?
I've always played 45-105's but I was thinking of trying 40-100's, is there that much of a distinguishable difference between the two gauges?

One of my students has an awesome sounding Jazz bass. I don't actually own a Jazz bass. Now I need a Jazz bass.
If psychologists want to come and study terminal G.A.S, you know where I am... lol

Somebody in my local classifieds is trying to track down the person he sold a bass to years ago because he regrets it and wants to buy it back. Tragic.

Greater love hath no man for a woman ... I have just sat through the first two episodes of the Sex in the City reboot. "And just like that" with Mrs C. This is not bass related but I felt the need to share my pain
-
Always funny to see a bass you sold back up for sale at twice what you sold it for, and being described as a "bargain" 😂

NBD tomorrow....!!! 😁

Saw/heard Dave Bronze at a gig last night. Blooming good isn't he?!
