  1. Happy to help. As someone who struggled to get survey responses for my masters thesis I feel your pain (yes, that was a very bad pun)
  2. Lush. Not generally a fan of too funky shapes but these are really special

    I have one. It works really well with the special pickup but is pretty underwhelming with a direct standard bass input. i am not sure I would want to take it to a gig but it's great as a way of having a load of presets for home studio use.
  4. Is this still available? And what is under that bit of pickguard? Is it hiding a failed route or something?
  5. So very much this. SBL (which I like overall) is awful for it, with Scott the main culprit although the absolute worst is a reggae mini course which is excruciating. Old white bloke playing bass with a Jamaican (from memory) drummer and dropping the "Ya man" like someone from a 1980s comedy sketch show with blackface and one of those dreadlock hats on. It's not even a particularly informative course. Literally any of the Donstrumental YouTube videos has so much more value in a tenth of the time.
  6. That is a lovely thing. i really like the aesthetic of the slightly modernized Ali Express knockoff rics and this does that really well but you also know it will actually play well!
  7. For many reasons, yes. I also find smugness, paper thin faux 'man of the people' schtick and rich people being hypocrites irritating. But they are all rational, so they don't belong here.
  8. If we are on trousers length, then the daft fashion for deliberately short trousers. It seems to be on the wane, thankfully. I like a jazzy sock as much as the next man and a small viewing window is fine but these things that look like they shrank in the wash make me unnecessarily irritated.
  9. @neepheid the T6 worked a treat! I am a happy lad
  10. Gold, for sure. Looks lovely. Tort works on lighter colours but not darks. In my incredibly humble opinion of course.
  11. Brilliant, thanks ever so much!
  12. Aha, fantastic. Yes, if you could get the actual measurement that would be amazing. I have one of those full sets but it is in a shipping box in a warehouse so not the most accessible to try different ones. The metric ones I can get work for the height adjusters but not for the locking screws.
  13. That may be the thing. I thought it was a tilt adjust but there is no screw coming out of the bottom so it isn't that. I can't find a key to fit those screw holes at the moment, but when I can dig out the whole set I have I will give it a go.
  14. I bought a body a while back and have just got to the point of being able to add the neck (hooray) so it's the first time I have noticed the string spacing setup - and it varies currently between 20 and 15 mil between different strings. I want to get it back to the comfy 19mm everywhere but I can't work out how to adjust the black barrel bits. They seem like they should twist to move but I can't work out how.....
  15. I got this from Bass Direct at the back end of last year mainly as a nice portable little to stick with a 10 inch speaker and make a restrained amount of noise with a mate in Mexico (a daft 110v country) knowing I would be moving back to 220/240 and not wanting to buy something I could only use for a short time. It did that job very well, but it also picked up a couple of small scratches because the noise making was partially an excuse to have a couple of beers and the carry bag is nice and convenient to fit in a gig bag front pocket but not padded so it doesn't stop your keys or the end of a jack plug scraping through. Shown in the pics and very much just cosmetic. Also works nicely as a basic home practice amp that can get loud enough to wake next door but one if you happen not to like your neighbours. And the aux in means you can play along to your favourites from the hit parade via one of those new digital music players or even a computer! Wild, wild stuff 😎 It's Phil Jones so it's a lovely clean sound. Passive / active switch also makes an appreciable difference when you remember to use it. I rather like the look of it as well. Brushed aluminium, ergonomic nobs, blueness. All good things in my book. I wouldn't be unhappy if this doesn't sell but I also have other things that do this and more, albeit not with the same sweet sound, and I am trying to cobble together some cash as something has caught my eye.... Can post, would probably be around a tenner.....
