Two hedgehogs trying to make a third in a bath of warm swarfega.

The back of the pot is just a large, conductive surface area to solder too - in theory you could solder ALL of the ground wires together at the output socket, but it's just less fiddly to have a flat surface to solder to than trying to do it on its side as the socket.

It was a condition of entry to the venue; most places have them. Security were quite insistent about it I recall.

I reckon Airbourne could dep pretty well for AC/DC, and Greets Van Fleet for Led Zep 😉. seriously though, when Robbie left Take That my request for a 20% ticket rebate fell on deaf ears.

Madonna’s Immaculate Collection. A pretty apt description I ‘d say.

I beg to differ…

I like Jazz, Mrs_5 less so.

have a look at your audio engine - check that you're using the interface you want to.

This might just be me, but I think the glaring difference in the wood would have meant a solid colour. In their defence, SX build quality is amazing, especially given their price point; every SX bass I’ve played has been great.

Jazz basses. I’ve always liked basses with 2 pickups, but always shied away from Fenders in my youth, as I saw them as ‘old people’ instruments. currently 66% of my stable is jazz basses.

Shell’s right though (ymmv), to the untrained eye my unlined fretless has an entirely unmarked board, but along the binding I’ve marked off the feet positions with a small file, and filled the tiny grooves in with silver paint. Ultimately I think punters (and I) would rather have a bass that’s in the same key as the rest of the band than something nice to look at.

A non-starter for me. Tested positive for the Mange (again), so couldn’t do it. The band had to get a dep for their dep.

After two lessons he got a residency and px’ed it against an Ampeg.

Such a shock, so young too; thought are with his wife and 3 kids.

Me too, Roll the bones tour. fwiw, Les hasn’t been obsessively slapping for about 30 years now.

Yeah, it's a No from me. Compositionally it seem like the chromatic lift in the middle of the chorus could be interesting, but it just chickens out and drops down a semitone instead of going somewhere interesting. The piano in the first verse sounds like their mate is on keys and they needed something for them to play; it's not even in time.

Sodden?

Because Basschat.

Y’a Mamma - Pharcyde

that's not a monitor, it's a FOH feed.

Wayne Hussey?

Are you making this one for Adam Clayton?

Billy Hunt - La Confiture

Not necessarily. Jazz basses with the metal 'Bell Plate' provide a mahoosive ground connection to the pots, because both the output jack and the pots are in contact with it the whole time. This is fine until a pot comes loose on a gig, and you start to get intermittent drop-out. P basses tend to have plastic plates with a thin layer of conductive foil on the back, so in theory should be grounded via this. Soldering wires between the 0V (ring of the output jack) and the pots shouldn't strictly be necessary, but it's a 'belt and braces' approach that I prefer.
