Roger's just looking for publicity for his new album... And he's probably right that his rock music peaked in 1971. Just means he's stuck in his own past and hasn't noticed the world moving on.7 points

Cheeky interim purchase before my ACG arrives. Cheers Jonze! This is a 2006 CIJ Mustang, always fancied one, and the wife has a couple of bass gigs (she plays a Mustang guitar), so made sense! Liking the Fiesta Red more than I thought I would, but was the right price, so don’t care either way! Cleaned up the fingerboard (needed a little TLC), fitted some La Bella Mustang Flatwounds, overall a very cool bass Si3 points

I admittedly haven't read the interview, but it sounds like another ageing proponent of rock music doing the genre no favours at all. Like some kind of ailing Egyptian king, wanting all of the riches to be buried along with him. If rock music really did peak in the 1970s then it truly deserves to die off. But I doubt any young bands starting out in the genre would give a flying **** about Daltry's opinion on the matter. In spite of his achievements, I personally have always thought him to be a monumental...3 points

And, of course, there's absolutely nothing wrong with being "fine with a Squier". If I played instruments pitched at the level of my playing ability then I'd probably have an Encore and, for me, the Squier would be an aspirational instrument. There is no bassline that I have ever played that couldn't have been played on a £200 bass. The reason I play a Mike Lull T5 (current retail price c.£4500 though that is WAY more than I paid for mine) is simply because I like it, well, love it to bits would be more accurate, and I CAN. "I imagine the sock placement is partly to do with easy of sitting position." And how do you know where Anthony Jackson places his socks?2 points

Group photo of my boards. I separated the Noble+Cali because sometimes that is all I need. Or will just choose between the two fun boards depending who I am playing with.2 points

Because like all high end basses they are different instruments made for people who want something specific that only a Fodera can give them. If you want a Wal or a Ritter or an Alembic you buy one of those and not a Fodera. If you can't get that then you are obviously not the sort of person that these basses are aimed at. If all you want is something with strings capable of playing low notes you'll probably be fine with a Squier.2 points

I have kinda shared this in another post but I thought I'd share it here and go into a bit more detail: So this is my pedal board/Rig in a box, the general idea behind it is I play solo, electronic drums off backing tracks, so to gig I take this box and my bass, that's it. The bass signal is split in two, a dry chain and a wet chain: Dry chain; Boss TU -> AROMA ABL-5 Mini Bass Limiter -> Behringer Xenyx Mixer Wet Chain; Boss TU-> Digitech Bass Whammy -> Morley Bass Wah -> Palmer Depressor (Hidden under the shelf) -> Big Muff Pi Nano -> TC Ditto (this changes in and out, just here for fun/practice at the mo, I'm going to have a nice envelope filter here at some point) -> NUX Time Core -> ISP Decimator (again under the shelf) -> Donner Volume Pedal -> DHA-VT1 Bass Driver D.I. -> Behringer Xenyx Mixer Then there's my TC Helicon Create XT for my vocal processing and my lenovo tab 7 that's running my backing/click tracks. I have live mix-downs of my tracks where the drums are panned hard left and the click hard right, so I send the left out to the mixer and the click to my in-ear monitor amp (the little black box behind the mixer). I send a mono full mix to the front of house that they treat like they're playing a CD through the PA (I send it at mic level -20 dB peak so I can run through a D.I., the stage box or whatever they're working with without clipping anything). My in-ears are hard wired and I get a full mix plus click, no amp, no fuss, set up in 1 min flat. I'm very happy with/proud of it.2 points

Heavy heart, I am parting ways with this beautiful bass, since I fell in love with another...again :). It was my main bass for around a year, nothing bad I can say about it, except that the great sound also comes with great weight. However, everyone who knows Le Fay, knows that they are incredible ergonomic basses and balances so well on the strap, that you will soon forget about it. It really is the work of art and one of first series ever to be made by Le Fay. Slightly different shape than the new Pangtons (starting at 4840€) but just as good sounding. I bought it from the first owner about a year ago and am starting the price at 50% of new. Specifications: 36” scale Ebony fret board 24 frets Wenge body with paduk set neck Le Fay humbuckers with ebony frames 2 volumes + filter 5,5 Kg It has 2 flaws: -I had small strap accident, that left him with scar(crack) on the lower side(check photos). I wanted to send it to Reiner(maker) but he told me it is no big deal and any tech can easily fix it. However it did not bother me after few days and did not affect playing nor sound so I did not fix it. -the original screw thread on 6th string was profesionally replaced for new(by previous owner) works flawless Other than that, there are some signs that bass have been played but really good condition for its age. The volume pots does make a sound every now and then. Really great bass overall, unique ergonomic shape, incredible rich and full B string, plenty of harmonics everywhere, resonates like crazy unplugged through your body.1 point -
Live out your dream of being in The Eagles or Led Zep! This AcePro double-neck Strat features 6- and 12-string maple necks, black body and white pickguard, plus cream pickup covers and knobs. I originally got this years ago with the intention of upgrading all the pickups and electronics, applying new decals and finish to the necks etc... but I never got around to it and realistically never will. My loss is your gain! Collection preferred from London SE3. I have some other stuff for sale here, would certainly be tempted by upward trades for more than one item.1 point -
i gave it a try but fretless not for me, nice with flats on - 3 months had it from new - local pick up only - thanks for looking I'm based in Clitheroe Pancs but happy to drive one hour in any direction to meet up to sell it has built in pick up and tuner too - unplugged the e/f note on the g string is a little buzzy but not through amp - action super low it needs someone who got more patience than me to play without fret guides but it has improved my playing and finger positioning1 point -
Anyone at the recent SW or Midlands BBash's will be familiar with this, for those that haven't seen it there is link to the build thread as well as a couple of pics. Finally got my hands on a lightweight ( about 6lbs ) med scale ( 31.5" ) fretless, the workmanship is stunning, check out the pic that shows the neck flowing into the body pocket , the balance is superb, with the top horn strap button just over the 10th fret, this feels more like playing a guitar than a bass when hung on a strap & despite the low body mass there is no neck dive either playing seated.The neck is a joy to play with a slightly rolled feel to the edge of an ebony board it seems like I have had this for years rather than days. As for how it sounds, the combination of LaBella flats, Shadow undersaddle & John East simple vol/treble roll off circuit all work to give a well defined acoustic tone with excellent balance across the strings. If like me you are starting to show your age & not everything works as well as it used to one of these will keep you going for years to come, Jez is a top bloke to deal with & I can't thank him enough. Looking forward to see what he comes up with next, mike b. Semi Hollow Bass https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4kizwfi7j094u78/AAAAb1WxD-4Iv1BzP0Z2zTAza?dl=01 point

I like linear 250k ohm pots. I too have a Squier PJ and looked at upgrading the pots to "normal" sized ones, but I'm sure they won't fit in the body recess. What's worse is I think the pick guard isn't big enough to cover the cut-out if I did rout the hole bigger.1 point

If you can get down (up?) the M5 to Stroud I recommend Richard Fitton-Perkins. He teaches classical arco double bass, jazz pizz double bass and bass guitar. You can find him via site called musicteacher.co.uk. I go for lessons and use his lovely double bass.1 point

Hi Been using an elbee 10 as my practice/recording amp since 2016, its 600watts at 4ohms. Originally with an Eden wtx500 and more recently with a darkglass microtubes amp. Its a sturdy wee bugger, the sound is pretty uncoloured and the tweeter is pretty good too. It does get pretty loud and handles overdrive and distorsion well. Its kept up in rehersals with a relatively loud drummer using both an analogue and electronic kit. It also works well with digitally created music (one of my other passions). Mine is for sale on reverb only because I need to convert it to cash money to fund some decent recording gear.1 point

Pictures and sound clips uploaded. Please note that it's being played with a really nice set of flats that I'm holding onto, the bass comes without strings or gig bag. Also, I forgot how seriously hot that pickup is so please excuse the clipping.1 point -
Arthritis has many forms, each has its own particular joints it affects, it’s often in no way related to the persons usage of those joints. It is one of the way Rheumatologists determine which exact form you have. My form attacks almost all joints but particularly the second joints of the fingers and toes and the hips and shoulders. Others have similar seemingly unrelated groups of joints.1 point

I've started using a compressor in a band situation, not because I know what it does but because I suppose it might be doing something subtle and it's on my multi FX so why not? so although I'm a user it wouldn't bother me if I wasn't, some compressors seem to make it louder but a volume knob does that, when I've evened out the volume there's no difference that what my knackered old ears can make out I don't really understand how it can alter your tone, when all it's supposed to do is even out the differences in volume.1 point

Woolly Mammoth is well-known for not liking active basses. Try the Mastotron as it has an impedance control which makes it work well with active basses.1 point
