I wonder who does the Players School courses now that Jeff isn't there. I also wonder if my lovely wife would mind if I went to Florida for a week without her... And I'd want to buy a cheap bass to take as I'm not trusting baggage handlers with my Marleaux!

Don't forget Ishibashi as well. I've had 2 from them. Good so far.

If I was going to get a Ray then it would be the new Special ones - they are a lot lighter. Weight may well end up being the deciding factor for me.

Ah man, I’d love to that.

Nobody goes to see them without knowing exactly who they are and what they are about. Saying otherwise is like suggesting people go and see Frankie Boyle live and are then surprised when he says f*ck in the show. Load of bollocks.

I'm really torn now. I've been starting to save the pennies for one of the new Ray Specials, but this looks lovely as well. There's no way I could afford both.

Hi Jeff. I’m currently working through your etudes from your course. I am slowly catching up with my over achieving clarinetist daughter!

I think that's just the over tones from his usual drive sound. that bass is very grindy. He's using a Helix these days - Line 6 modelled Billy's own Pearce Preamp to get the helix model dead right.

It's rocky funk - but damn it's good!

Brilliant news!

What's the weight like?

I fancy one of those too.

My Marleaux is like that. If the EQ if flat there is zero tone or level change with the preamp on or off. its superb.

If he was going to give away free lessons he might as well have just bought a new bass. What happened to just doing the right thing purely because it's the right thing? He didn't have to offer a reward - moaning that it isn't enough is distasteful.

Darkglass M900 Its great and very versatile.

IIRC they are on the Fender Elite basses too. By by far the best system.

I put 4 of them on my Urge 2. They sound awesome. Unfortunately it needs a pretty big truss rod tweak and I haven't got enough movement to cope with the heavy strings. At the moment I can't afford to have the truss rod replaced so my options are to buy a lighter gauge or go back to my old strings on it. Bah. Proper annoyed. They sound great.

Doug didn’t go into specifics, but he announced it on Facebook a couple of weeks ago. Apparently the maker of the mystery mystery parts are stopping production of that part.
