I intended no hostility or offence, I apologise for causing either. -
I agree with you, impossible to make a definitive judgement from one clip played by someone else. Thanks for taking part.

Getting a bass refinished in print
stewblack replied to Woodinblack's topic in Repairs and Technical
Always liked these wrap jobs their guitar tech did for them. So realistic -
I drove down the M4 to Reading and back today and felt like I'd absconded from Stalag Luft. A holiday? Ooh I don't think I can handle that. I just don't know who could resist a case that turns into a scooter. I mean how cool is that??

Ahem, just leave this here, you can thank me later https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08C4M6WLL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_t1_HkANFbXCR7E40

Best 1 amp and nothing else solution I have ever had was a rack bag. Easy to carry total protection, less bulky, a pocket on top. Wish I'd kept it.

Met Trevor in time honoured Basschat fashion, in a layby just off the M4. As far as two masked desperados go I don't think we frightened anyone. I came home the proud owner of a new multi stand, and very happy to be so. Throughout the process Trevor remained patient as I came up with one excuse after another to delay the culmination of our deal, and is, I am delighted to report, a fine Basschatter. Heartily recommended.

I will go check out his work. I have of course heard of Whitesnake but not sat and listened properly. Always happy to follow another bassist's recommendation.

A friend of mine recently alerted me to a reissue of a favourite album. Insane price, extra unreleased tracks, booklet etc etc. I don't see the appeal. As op says, there's a reason these tracks didn't make the cut.

That looks lovely. I'm a recent convert. Used my 80s Aria for decades with the occasional dalliance here and there, but the two Ibanez I now own are really good instruments.

Of all the visual aspects of a bass, headstock shape is a real deal breaker for me, so I know what you mean. I am really lucky because I like the HB headstock. Not having the skills to reshape it I'd be stuck. The Gear 4 Music headstock basically saves me money (see also G&L, Bite, Kramer etc etc)

I have precisely the same issue. Some patches sound great then the next one I select is weedy or quiet or both yet they sounded fine when setting them up on the computer. In fairness I often came across this with multi effects pedals. Problem is, you can get them all to the same DB level and some sounds will cut through better/worse than others just because of their character. Trial error and using the output level I guess

I have the 4 string, its excellent. I have literally no desire to change anything , not strings, pups, nothing. However just for fun I put some square stick on 'inlays' on the fretboard. Pimped my Harley!!

stewblack replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Effects
I have a semi which never achieves its full potential. Unless I put it into a Joyo Sweet Baby. Then it comes to life. I tried it with my solid bodies and it was too thin. Another good one is the American Sound or its little brother the Orange Juice. -
Awesome!

What does this do then? Only Bit Crusher I've ever used is on my Zoom multi effects and it just made the bass sound broken!

Quite agree. An effect for recording is very different than one for gigging Or can be

Has anyone played in a band with a sibling?
stewblack replied to Barking Spiders's topic in General Discussion
Twice played with siblings. Once the drummer and keyboard player (brothers) and once the drummer and guitarist (also brothers) (but no relation to the first brothers). And twice in a band with my soon to be ex wife.
