Who knew it could take so long to sell a P Bass?
Has everyone already got one? 😅 -
Well, that's it. Converted to tapewound strings 😁. So smooth but still with bite.
-
Was just subject to my first attempted Gumtree scam.
Always fun.

For those of you with a persuasion for ACGs - it may be worth your time in becoming a member of the ACG Owners group on Facebook. There's going to a be some very nice basses for sale in the near future.

@TheGreek he's a mutual friend of ours and has no less that 13 ACGs I think and he's planning to sell the majority of them in the near future. They'll be some prototypes and other raritys in there. They may appear on here as I'm sure he's a member here too.
-
Pretty sure he is on here (albeit infrequently) as @Scoop

That twang of annoyance everytime I hear 'Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick' knowing I'll never be able to play it as cleanly as Norman 😅

that riff in call me al .... near impossible. But heard a South African bass player name of Schalk Joubert a few years back who can do that and any other S African township riff to order. Amazing player. 5-string bart rigged afzelia dolphin into a little SWR working man combo. Sounded great.
As for "hit me" saw Norm playing that in our local music pub a couple of years back ... blow me .. but have you seen the length of that guy's fingers!!
-
Oooft, a very nice Bolt On Thumb for sale on Facebook if that's your thing
-
Think I've found the pickup config I like most. Either P or J but with a big ol Humbucker at the bridge. Just works for me
-
I see that Bass Direct now have Super 5s with Laurel fingerboards in.
Balls.

Quick question - can you use a Zoom B3/B3n as a recording interface via usb?

Looks like it - see the section on using Sequel LE.

@BassApprentice -
As an audio interface: B3 yes. B3n no.

Why don't Sandberg do a Shell Pink? A soft aged shell pink VM4 would be an instant buy.
-
Ed Sheeran now has his own guitar brand. Interesting approach from Lowden (?!) there....

One afternoon spent in Bass Direct. What a shop Mark has. So helpful and let me put my grubby mitts on anything I asked. Some very nice basses in stock but that Kingston Super 5.....

@BassApprentice, mate, that’s exactly what happened to me last time I went to BassDirect. I had no choice but to take the Super 5 home with me! Such a great bass. Treat yourself
-
@CameronJ I thought you had one! I've been eyeing them up and definitely didn't disappoint. Might consolidate the collection a bit and get one!
-
While GuitarGuitar Glasgow has a decent selection, I am very excited to make a trip down to Bass Direct at the end of the month.
ALL THE TOYS -
Have to say, that Kala U Bass Journeyman looks mighty tempting for a living room noodler.....
-
Anyone who might be looking to move on a fretless might want to take a look at the Yamaha SBV500 in the for sale section 😬
-
Which member of this fine establishment made high quality leads? Or is there someone anyone would recommend?

@obbm tagged.

Everyday I'm more and more convinced I need a Shell Pink bass in my life....
-
Newly Discovered Band Of The Day - The Main Squeeze. Fuzzy, funky goodness 🤙
-
Been in my new place for almost 2 months. FINALLY got my desk practice set up sorted, Phil Jones Bass Buddy just tucked away under the monitor. Nice.
-
Played some VERY nice Sandbergs today.
If my G&L doesn't up its game in the near future it could be facing the chop!

@discreet does this tickle your whatsit (or your wotsit) any? I err *cough* know the seller very well *cough* and can highly recommend him as an absolute gent (that's gent, 'K?) to deal with.

@Osiris It would indeed be very ticklish but for the usual problem! Thanks for the link though, none of this is helping me spend money on all the piddling crap I really don't want to spend it on, but have to. Bah!
-
I see GuitarGuitar Glasgow have some Sandberg 48s in.....
Think I'll happen to be passing by in the near future.
-
Was at the Blues Kitchen in Brixton last night and there was a house band playing R&B/Soul. All good. Apart from they didn't have a bass player 😅.
Made for slightly odd listening.

While my other half watched Love Island, I rocked out to some Audioslave for an hour.
I think we all know who had a better evening! 😂
