In about 2005 I needed a new "office seat" for home use and after using a KAB Controller office chair at work for a few years I decided to take the plunge. Most other office chairs I've had or used ended up being uncomfortable or just dropping to bits. The KAB isn't cheap at about £1,000 but is VERY adjustable with height, tilt, weight, headrest adjust, lumbar air support etc. After 20+ years of daily general use it is still in great fully functional condition and you can get spares. Note: from 2020 I worked from home as well so thats 12hrs per day, 7 days per week. The arms also pivot up so I can use it to play bass on as well 👍

I may have missed a thread on this years show......how was it? I used to go to the bass show when it was on and really enjoyed it.

Aaaargh! I don't need a back up Anagram. I don't need a back up Anagram. I don't need a back up Anagram. I don't need a back up Anagram. I don't need a back up Anagram......or should I ? 🤔🤣 -
Have you tried the vinyl wrap on its own, just cut to the shape of a plate and attached direct to the bass body?

Especially tort.....🤣 Double sided tape is a good idea for trying / changing plates without lasting damage to a bass. As others have said this may not be the best if it isnt a poly finish. I used double sided tape on a Lull I had. Both looked good but I decided "why have a lovely quilt finish and then cover it with a £10 piece of plastic?" If you're just looking to protect the finish then one cheap alternative I use on the backs of all my basses is a screen protector (these) which I cut to shape. Dont buy the tempered ones....they just shatter when trying to cut.....guess how I know? I've also used it on the front of my old Ritter. The one in the photo had been used for quite a while so did show some lifting on the lower edge, but its easily replaced. The Lakland shows the protector on the back. I don't know if they would be OK on a nitro bass finish. Just a random thought....has anyone used vinyl wrap for a scratchplate?

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2025?
Acebassmusic replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Yes it is 👍 It's very easy to play, nice neck profile, weight and balance. Its also very flexible tone wise. I don't normally use the neck pickup on its own but with this one I'm quite happy to. I've used it in both my classic rock and soul / funky bands and it fits in great with all of them. I've decided not to use it in the rock band any more as they still have Sex on Fire in the set and as such don't deserve the Elrick! 🤣 Thank you and you're right I have had some stunning basses over the years (way above my pay grade!) and this one is one of the very best! -

Hearing you on some of your videos helped me decide to give it a chance and I bought it untried. Thanks. -

Usual "in's" and "out's" at the "Acebass Musical Equipment Temporary Storage & Refuge Facility" 🤣 Like others, I've not had any "bad" purchases but have 3 that really stand out and work for me: my Elrick Evolution Gold V, Anagram multi-fx and MVave Chocolate Plus midi foot switch. I'm a happy bunny that doesnt see me wanting to change any of my gear until at least a week on Tuesday! 😮🤣🤣 -
For sale is my TC Electronic GMajor-2 multi effects unit in fully working condition and updated to the latest firmware. Pictures show it in its usual rack home (rack not included). Although most of the standard effects are aimed at the guitarist I have found the compressor, gate, flanger, phaser and octaver (up and down) etc. to be very useable for bass. I can either factory reset before shipping or leave the presets I have created intalled. It has built in EQ, noise gate, compressor, reverbs, delays, wahs, octaver, tremolo, phaser, flanger etc each of which can be switched in / out from the front panel as required. I have been using this via my amps effects loop and found the compressor (and all the effects) just add their effect without changing the fundamental sound of the bass. Comes with original box and operating manual. You can use the unit in your DAW as well as with your bass / guitar etc. Patches can be easily selected from the front panel or attach a midi-pedal (I used a MidiMoose). There is also some Vyzor software you can download from the net which allows you to interface your PC with the GMajor-2 to edit and backup your user patches. I have also attached the GMajor-2 and Vyzor manuals below. tc_electronic_g-major_2_manual_english.pdfVyzor_G-Major2_Quick-Start.pdf I estimate UK shipping about £10 to £15.-

You dont see too many of these out in the wild! Are you sure its a bridge PU as it says neck on the underside? -
These are highly underrated basses for their price range (or even higher). I really like mine 👍😁 -

Great cabs these. I have one that I use in a loud rock band with 2 guitars......don't be fooled by "it's just a 2 x 10"....it's no shrinking violet! 👍 -
I vaguely remember that photo 🤔 Could it have been Nick Smith?

Just bought a wireless system off Steve. Easy deal and he kept me updated all the way. Thanks 👍
