    Yes I have. They do give a very retro 60s sound and can mimic a double bass quite well. They sound good, if you want need that type of sound. The Rotosound ones only come in one gauge which is pretty gigantic - the E is 115. Which means most nuts don't fit them very well. This means that, unless you file your nut to fit them, they'll give you quite a high action.

    Personally I have invested tens of thousands of pounds of my own money in my business. I have worked more hours than I should, in some cases to the detriment of my health and my relationship. During COVID I had to take on loans to keep the business going as we got zero support while others received tens of thousands. I’ve spent lots (and I mean Fodera/pre-CBS levels) on innovations. Some have worked, many have failed. I’m probably no better off than had I maintained my career trajectory in-house. I think my experience is probably similar to lots of Ltd company owners.

    I've got a bright sound (Pyramid), sometimes it sounds like a fretless bass because there is a lot of sustain.

    A bit off topic. The Shrewsbury Folk Festival this year has The Bar Steward Sons Of Val Doonican on the bill. If you have time to kill, trawling the acts appearing on various UK festivals this year has some wonderfully crazy band names. One of my favourites is Colonel Mustard and The Dijon 5.

    Ah ok, that's not going to work for what I had planned.

    The risk taking argument really only applies to what in realistic terms can be judged to be real investment risk. Where it is being used as a vehicle to subsidise unrealistically low PAYE income then, yes, it's avoidance ( unless HMRC / Courts find it to be evasion).

    I put LaBella black nylon strings on a large bodied fretless acoustic (Guild) and they suited it extremely well. It was short scale and they had the right amount of tension to prevent it from being too slappy but still give a bit of that upright sound. That’s where they excel IMO: fretless and acoustic basses. However, that’s based on one set of LaBellas, I haven’t tried any other makes and I haven’t tried them on a fretted bass.

    Yes I can but it's to Germany and it's a real hassle with customs etc'. Thought I'd try here first.

    Dave, The marina is nice, however I like those steps up to the stage. Even 10 years ago,I didn't care about stuff like steps. But now when I get to a gig and I notice there's no steps, in my advanced years I'm like "Come on" guys "Really ? ". Is that an unreasonable attitude for me and some of the pensioners here that have been out there gigging for 50 years? Lol Daryl

    For sale, I have 6 Celestion BN-200 neo drivers available in very good used condition from a recently dismantled 6x10 which became too much to haul. Currently retailing at £115 just about everywhere I think it's a fair saving. Super lightweight compared to ceramic, 200 watt and 8 ohms. Buy singles or in pairs, quads, it's up to you and your project/upgrade. Postage negotiable dependent on numbers purchased. Cheers.

    Compressor pedals

    bnt replied to Delamitri79's topic in Effects

    I just got one of these Landlord "A Cheeky Pint" compressors to try it on my "small board" and so far I quite like it. It's not transparent like e.g. my Orange Kongpressor can be: the Tone control is boosting frequencies, but I like the result with the EQ at around 9-o'clock in "Half Pint" mode. On the "Full Pint" mode I think the EQ is a bit too aggressive and it loses a little low end, so I would only recommend the "Half Pint" mode for bass.

    A pair of 40DC pickups for sale. They come boxed. Loads of tails on them.
  26. Sean
    Lots of likes. Thanks for those, folks.

    Yep that's a good point Daryl. If i make a mistake i usually apologize in the dressing room and the guys do the same but its done in good humour and everyone accepts that sometimes we make mistakes. Its live music and it occasionally happens. When someone does that the rest of us are usually unaware of the mistake as its been such a minor issue. Most of the time the audience never notice a band making a mistake provided you all look confident and just carry on as if it was meant. The Jazz version of a Glam song Dave

    I had a set of black tapewound, Rotosound I think.. quite a dark sound to them. I would say they were medium tension.
