  1. How can a bassist look SO bored whilst playing with a great band like that?!?
  2. I love Manu Katché’s playing on Sting’s Seven Days - peppered throughout with tasty little ad libs.
  3. Herb's fluid running round the kit on the intro to Primus' "Southbound Pachyderm", also the whole of the track 'Eleven", also by the above trio. 45" in on this one: And this whole track:
  4. I’ve done something similar to my MS60B so that I can use the ‘tap tempo’ function remotely. It’s ‘squeaky bum time’ when you do the drilling, as the inside is *very* snug, but measure twice, cut once!
  5. Were these recorded using the same time owner supply? The first half has a serious whine to it (B1-4?), but the second half doesn’t
  6. Broken hearts are for buttholes - Frank Zappa
  7. Hope everything goes well for you - sending positive low frequency vibes your way.
  8. Bonus points for consecutive finished chords too!
  9. Up for sale was my DHA VT1 bass overdrive/preamp pedal. in excellent condition and fully working. This ticks multiple boxes as an overdrive pedal, rehearsal headphone tool, bass preamp, and valve DI box. an amazing sounding piece of kit with a recent (4 months) retube with a JJ ecc83 tube - obviously it’s not had much gig use in the interim, so it’s just nicely burned in. Price includes uk mainland delivery and 12v mains adapter. FINAL PRICE DROP TO £130 NOW SOLD
  10. Surely 'Paul or Ringo Last' would be more apt?
  11. I have a few approaches to this - a) just play the bassline - embrace the space. b) play the bassline up an octave and get some more kick from the drummer. c) effects- overdrive, octave etc can all thicken up your sound d) busier bassline - chords/double stops etc any combination of these will work.

    DIY Effects

    Nearly finished all of my veroboard a for an effect I’ve been planning for a while; valve overdrive (with bipolar 12v supply) with a 3 band EQ, clean blend and an active tilt Eq on the clean side… will be boxing it up this weekend… … the plan was to sound like a DHA, but take up less space and be a touch more versatile. I’ll let you know.
  13. Gutted for you Muzz. Hope the staff have a speedy and full recovery.
  14. For me they’re in the same category as PRS guitars - bankers’ guitars. If you’re dropping 5k+ on an instrument, then chances are you’re NOT a pro musician! 😄
  15. A large wavy rim forstner bit for clearing out the majority of the wood in things like pickup routs, control cavities and neck pockets is recommended too.
  16. A router and some good quality bits. coffee and patience.
  17. nope, but I once had a pedal where the sockets were 'grounded' via their physical contact with the case. It worked fine until the socket worked loose, and I lost my signal. If it can happen there, then it can happen on a bass, so I'd rather not take the chance.
  18. Got a couple of dep gigs in July. Maybe.
  19. Sorcery? ‘It’s not magick, just physics (it’s more predictable, with less chance of random pumpkins).
