yeah - you didn't crop out what I guess is him in the video. I can't unwatch that can I?

I wonder what he was actually expecting?

I love the point of a gig where you realise you're not thinking about the instrument at all, it's just doing exactly what you want with no fuss. Normally less knobs helps me get to this point, both in the band and on the bass

I have no idea about the pickups but I just stuck that preamp in a Lakland 55-94 - it is exceedingly good

that's one of the now discontinued Japanese made ones

John Entwhistle possibly would have debated that

East uni pre is amazing and just so good. Here’s one I fitted in one of my basses recently

and that's how the nickname Crazy big red knob kiwi came about

so the only thing that has changed is a few cans of paint?

unfortunately the old pics aren't there any more to compare!

OPEC for guitars!

12,345 euros..., I think it translates as he wants to trade for a bravewood p ... or maybe sell

Also: there's a bloody good reason why rehearsal studios don't tend to have open windows...

Drummer: "well what do you want to do about it?" OP: " well i've just been reading the government and WHO guidance and I don't think the shape of the windows matter" Drummer: "It might though. what do you want to do about it?"

what are you going to clip the receiver for your IEM too?!

anyone after a Bravewood Jaco-a-like? https://www.bassic.de/kleinanzeigen/bravewood-62-j-type-fretless.11320/

is that finish already marked between the pickups?! I would be interested to hear some reviews on these german metro's- For me I'ld love a PJ metro from japan

I'm probably not going to be able to play live for a while for similar reasons to your drummer. Covid sucks, we're all annoyed about how it's affecting our lives - but lets have a bit of grace for people in different situations than us, who are having to make different risk assessments. One of the remarkable aspects of the current situation is how it is affecting everyone differently. At the same time me and my wife were running around working full time and childcare and being exhauted other folk were sat around bored as anything with nothing to do. One of my friends had to get out and get back to work as a tradesperson in peoples homes straight away, my next door neighbour has hardly left his house since march.

I agree with Beedster. Even if you get it sounding similar it sits in the mix differently

@rubis after months I've come back and re read - its still brilliant!
