As it appears that the incident has been reported the local fire authority, they will be there soon enough to carry out a fire risk assessment. As an ex firefighter with 10 yrs service, I've experienced the aftermath of some terrible incidents. The smell of burnt flesh never really does leave you. For the sake of a few quid, it's just not worth the risk.

Dropped off the Stentor this morning. The chap said that the bass is in good condition apart from the bridge, which he assured me will be sorted without the need for a replacement. I've left it at the shop, dropping off a set of Innovation silver slaps when they arrive. When I mentioned rockabilly, there was a slight snort of derision. I told him that I thought he had a ridiculous looking moustache (each to their own). We laughed. All is good 👍

Clarky bought my TE-1200. Faultless transaction, a pleasure to deal with 👍

Ok, I'm having a leisurely drive over to Beverley tomorrow morning. https://www.peterhallviolins.com/ Had a good conversation with Peter as to my requirements, looking forward to a good outcome 🤞

Reformed the function band after a 3yr break, albeit with a fresh lead guitarist. We had four rehearsals to get up to speed for the local pub festival / charity event. It was a great success, sounded fantastic and had 'em up dancing from the off of the 90 min set. Good to be on the trailer with the guys and gal again. I do ache a bit today though 😄

I didn't, it's a 2006 model sourced from Bass Direct a while ago. Sounds wonderful 🙂

I hadn't owned a fretless for over 30 years. Now have these beauties and loving them.

Just received a compressor from Darren. Got a good deal, quick postage and excellent packaging. Great comms too. Thanks again Darren 👍

Yeah. Unless there was a serious issue with it, surely an allen key & screwdriver would have sorted that out?

Looking back on this thread, it was yourself that suggested the Boswellia. So I took a punt on it, started off on two a day initially and reduced to one over the last few months. All is good 👍

I've had excellent results using Boswellia extract. Both thumb ip joints are now pain free, took about 2 months to kick in. Snake oil? I dunno, I'm happy with the outcome.

Thanks to @stevel my quest for a Aerodyne has been fulfilled. A cracking bass in as new condition and good to meet a fellow Basschatter.

I tried the synth before comp and back again and didn't notice any discernible difference across the presets. Could be my hearing of course 🤷‍♂️.

Sold my MS-60B+ to Alex. Fast payment, great comms and was a pleasure to deal with. What's not to like. Thanks again Alex 👍

I'm running Atlas compressor, MXR Bass Synth, MXR Bass Chorus Deluxe into Tech21 XB Driver. That's using presets on the synth. I'll have a mess about with it later. All is good atm though.

I've sold a few redundant bits of kit recently and taken a punt on this. It arrived yesterday, 4hrs later into rehearsal. Sounds great on the presets so far. Guitarists reacted positively...
