    North Manchester ish

    I’d put an East in there too; superb pre.

    Another +1 for those of Peavey TNT amps. Bombproof combos, but get him into the habit of lifting it properly; back straight and legs bent etc...

    Eye contact is a biggie too, that and presenting a united front when the guitarist suggests “freebird” or similar.

    People eh?!? "Humanity is just a virus with shoes"

    Got 4 of 'em on each hand. 😉 Seriously though, I never used it.

    Metallica’s ‘Murder One’ is a tribute to Lemmy, and shares the name of his bass amp.

    The first two knobs are unaltered; standard volume controls for the J pups. The knob that was for the master tone is now the volume for the MM pup. The small switch is an on/on/on for 1st (bridge) coil, both coils in parallel (MM sound) and 2nd (bridge) coil, giving 12 different configurations.

    I’ve always loved playing Jazz basses but recently I’ve had a hankering for some Stingray vibes from my fretless. I present to you Exhibit A

    Not with a hefty amount of compression in front of it, seems to work alright!

    Complete failure. My octave pedal started misbehaving yesterday so I bought a B3n. oops!

    “Freebird”

    I love Jazzes. Ended up doing some punky stuff at rehearsal last night, so just ran the neck pickup soloed and turned up the ‘drive’ knob on my Ampeg pre. Glorious. Just glorious. Not quite the Precision tone, but good enough in the mix.

    DSM Omnicab is REALLY useful for recording bass - Direct 'thru' output means that you can record straight from the bass to re-process later if you need to.

    Steely Dan in turn took their name from a dildo in William S. Burroughs’ ‘Naked Lunch’. Not a song, but still interesting.

    I sometimes do this. Also I have been known to put my foot up on a wedge, never at the same time though; people can’t generally handle that degree of ‘entertainment’.

    One particular gig I left an entire band behind. Sometimes you just outgrow people. ☹️

    Jesus. That’s people for you, a right shower of bastards.

    Just buy a Caline Orange Burst for abut £20. Job done.

    All the sounds!

    I've just ordered a second one of these after fitting one in my fretless Jazz. I used a Stingray scratch plate as a routing template to get both the 'sweet spot' and the right sized rout. It looks to be identical in size to a 'standard' Musician pickup, as the scratch plate is a lovely snug fit around the pickup. There isn't really any information on wiring it up, so I had to get my meter out to check which coil is which; not even a sheet of paper in the packet... Wiring is as follows: Red wire is HOT for J coil Thick Black wire is GROUND for J coil Thin Black wire is HOT for MM coil White wire is GROUND for MM Coil.

    Just ordered one of the Caline Orange Bursts to see what all the fuss is about.

    Fretless Wal 5 string. Easy!

    Ahh, now I understand why we need Brexit! 😮
