I did too at first, but stick with it.. they usually change quite quickly.

The occasional noise from other stuff going on in the background, fantastic.

If you have 47:50 mins spare over lunchtime then this is a strangely relaxing video to watch - YouTube luthier Tanya Shpachuk goes through the process of replacing a truss rod and frets on a Tbird in close up detail. I found it equally fascinating and also somewhat twitchy, as someone who is an absolute klutz with tools would have had that thing reduced to firewood in 5 minutes. I really do admire people with skills to do this sort of thing and the patience required too. Getting that fretboard off... ooohh!!!!! (Ignore the odd bogey nail art.. it doesn't last long.)

Really? I used to go there a lot, I think I'm going to have a quick peak 😃

Musically? Yeah. Most of our audience could knock me into a cocked hat.. But my footwear collection, charming audience banter skills and of course my effervescent good natured bonhomie are untouchable. 😁

Went to see The Damned on Friday 13th. They really were rather excellent. I'm thoroughly enjoying them having Rat back on the drums. Paul Gray's bass playing is ridiculously fluid and melodic and it was a superb tone from his Ric. Have they slowed down a bit? Yeah, I guess so but with most of them knocking on the door of 70 it's reasonible.

Fingers crossed you'll get lucky and they'll arrive much before that date. When I checked my tracking details y'day early avo it still wasn't showing as out for delivery.

Good gravy.. that was a wait. Ordered on the 14th of this month, with Prime next day delivery, arrived yesterday evening. 11 days. Only a slight whinge as they are such a cracking deal but maybe don't sell with a next day delivery promise.

Oooh fingers VERY crossed!! A bottle of chianti on the ready 😁

Yes, mine were meant to be next day and arriving on Friday 15th but still nothing. Checking the tracking details it says they are in Bergamo, Italy. I online chatted with an Amazon rep yesterday and was promised that I would be getting them. Maybe they are all being shipped from Italy?

No but I do have a Westbury guitar I bought many years ago. Same style headstock as your bass. All I know is it's a "Standard" and is a double cut. It's very adequate.. which is considerably above my playing level 😁

Lives in the county that sounds the same as his name methinks.

Thanks folks. Putting it over the guitar side causes it's own issues.. "there's too much bloody bass, I can't hear the guitar properly.." I think drummist is just trying to take over the stage. I think we'll just have to try and have to suggest it's not working for us, let him go hissy and then put the sub back out front. The IEM option for him could do the job.

Where, as a typical pub/club rock band would you place a sub? We do the typical pub/club gigs where we bring our own gear. We only have one sub (I forget the name and output but it's plenty adequate). The only person that uses it is the drummer for his kick drum. It used to be situated out at the front under one of the tops, but he has now taken to having it on the stage by him, typically on my side of the stage between my amp and him. I fully understand that sub bass is not particularly directional but I'm of the mind that it's muddying up my sound. I prefer a brighter clank than a wooly thump and I have noticed I am dialling back the bottom end now. I'm not sure if it's just me being a bit sulky though! Oh, drummer has admitted he likes it on stage as he can feel it and that's it. Any views?

What a dreadful oily turd he is, and the brass balls he must have to repeat his fraudulent activities over and over again and again, and then brazenly appearing on stage on a seemingly regularly basis too. A truly crooked individual to the core. He must have a lovely tapestry at home with all the stitch ups he's carried out.. I can only hope, when he does get his comeuppance (in what ever format that could be) that it is in the public forum and we can all rejoice together.
