Due to my general incompetence with mouse and keyboard I managed to order the wrong strings The team at MSL have been absolutely brilliant in sorting it out for me so thanks very much.

I think it was called something like tobacco burst. No red in it at all.

There are some passive VS4s around too. This one used to be mine some years ago.

Great offer, many thanks. Have order a couple of sets of your VIntage range for my two fretless basses. Although might stick one set on a P bass

Thanks for the info folks. Looks like Plan A may have been right after all

Hi folks As a technical muppet (please assume spectacular levels of ignorance and incompetance) I would like to try to arrange some sessions with the band to try out new ideas etc. So far I have tried Jammr and Jamshazam but I have no idea what I'm doing and not sure if I've set anything up correctly plus can't hear my bass when I plug headphones into my laptop. I have a Windows laptop and what I can get to work is Audacity with my bass plugged into an Ashdown Tone pocket itself connected to my laptop via the USB cable provided. My headphones are connected to the Tone Pocket socket. At least I can record a bass part this way and send it to the band (guitarist/vocalist and drummer). I can get a guitar part back and hear both together on Audacity but not quite figured out how to sinc the two up yet Any help gratefully received!

In which case excellent job, it looks really good like that.

For folks with short attention spans, what is it that you have fixed?

No more spoilers please, only up to episode 3 but thanks for the heads-up, I'll listen out for it.

Very nice, great job. How does it sound?

I can't get the chuffin' thing to work. Doesn't help that I'm no computer geek and even the videos assume a level of knowledge I don't have.

I can't get it to work. Doesn't help that the help videos assume you understand wtf they are talking about.

Probably best that we stay in the cupboard Karl, we must consider the mental health of others.

Another Smooth Hound user here. Works extremely well.

Nah, having loads of basses makes you play better.

I always seem to get the beans stuck in the toaster

I rather enjoyed these two basses both were Wenge / Wenge so that would be my choice (another all Wenge neck/board on the way too). Dingwall ACG

And so is my wife / carer.

Progress update as requested...

I'd like a signed note from your doctor to confirm that you are of sound mind when you make rash statements like that please @karlferl

I use a Radial device as the last bit of my signal chain (so after the effect I use on occasion). This allows me to feed a signal to the desk so it can be EQed in the band context and a separate one to the backline that I can EQ for my personal use as a monitor without affecting the front of house sound. At some point we will go 'in ear'. https://www.radialeng.com/product/stagebug-sb2

Thanks for the kind comments. The Farida had a couple of years worth of gigging and then was sold on along with the Overwater (which was a bit too heavy for me in all honesty all though it got a decent amount fo stage time). This funded my next project a £150 Antoria Jazz I didn't do much of the work on this as it was refinished by someone who knew what they were doing so cost more than the bass. Standard Kiogon stacked knob loom and new scratch plate added too. Maybe I should have left it alone and pretended it was a Geddy Lee J. Very nice tone and great playability too. Before: After:
