    Asdown ABM500 now sold. Splendid amp, selling to recoup some money - but won't be the last one I own. Once the madness is over I'm sure I'll be after another one. Very versatile amp which will last forever. Solid,powerful, capable head with a fine valve pre-amp stage. Not pristine, minor tolex scuffs and some scratches to the corners and missing the vanity caps from the bolt holes. All pictured here. I'll have to get a courier to deliver it but I'm happy to share that cost with you 50/50. Here's a video of me twiddling my nobs so you can see and hear it working. I recorded myself playing then bunged the recording through the amp so I could be 'hands free'. Just a phone recording, but put it though decent speakers or headphones you should get the gist. https://drive.google.com/file/d/15T0Qt7ZVPdBUqvp17sXE41Al0BYmkp2e/view?usp=sharing

    Not bothered by the order, hardly worth getting my hair off about someone had a page to fill and as every journo knows a list is your go to when you're stuck for ideas. Many I've never heard of so that's great, I shall enjoy discovering them. My personal list would include JJ Burnel, Phil Lynott, Bruce Foxton, Norman Watt-Roy and my all time favourite Bruce Thomas. Simply because they inspired me and still do.

    WHAT????

    Interesting this idea of p and j players being such an homogeneous bunch. I have gravitated to P-bass and flats only in my twilight years after a lifetime of exploring many other avenues. Even now I only own half a dozen or so. Also it's unlikely p and j owners are all the same given that there are so many of them.

    The slide is just bad Musescore work. I meant to signify no gap between the b and the c but I didn't use the right symbol.

    Hey come on Basschat we're better than this. Kudos to those of you who tried to help but taking the 4X out of a guy for asking for help, that's not why I I love this forum. For what it's worth I have three basses where the silks line up, and no I hadn't paid any attention before this thread. However, 2 of them (strung with Deroit Flats) only technically have three in line because on a P Bass the silk on the G string disappears entirely. Maybe on a 3+1 it might not? The other one has 4 beautifully aligned red silks but I can't remember what they are 😕. Probably best I don't discuss the bass pictured below with the OP though... They're Fenders and probably painful to look at for those who like neatness but like the Detroits they line up and so might the G on a 3+1

    Follow the way of the tort my son. You will never misstep.

    The simple fact that you noticed the bass and could name the make of the bass player's rig, loved the sound whilst you were a guitarist tells me you've made the right move! The scratchplate question is simple. Tort. Always tort.

    This thread has surprised me in the way its taken off. Mustard mitt I was hoping that one of you nutters would have made a 2X10 out of a laundry basket from Sue Ryders, but great ideas here nonetheless.

    I am literally the least fussy person on Basschat but I wouldn't accept those issues. Sorry for your disappointment, but they need to put it right.
  12. stewblack
    Ah yes, but are they in my set? That's the question 😉

    Mmm, strawberry and cream. I'm not supposed to like a maple board but, well, this sure looks nice.

    Stop all that messing about and work out what I need to sound like Stevie Wonder's synth bass on I Wish would you. I don't know, it's not a toy. 😉

    Found an approved interface on FB market place. There are none of the Roland in stock anywhere except at silly prices. What cables will I need please?
  18. stewblack

    I was watching G&Gs YT channel and came across this He uses a Bee Box as the basis for a guitar cab. Always worth a watch (for the builds and bass stuff rather that the firearms) as his recommendations are solid and thanks to him I now set up my own instruments, up to and including fret levelling and dressing. It got me thinking. We all know about the IKEA shelf unit which is really a pedal board, but is there a bass cab masquerading as a wardrobe, blanket box or shoe rack? Any thoughts ideas or maybe even experience?

    Ooooh, exciting. As a HB fan who has, thus far, only shopped in the bargain basement I'm really interested to know what these higher priced models are like. I've seen YT reviews on some trusted (by me) channels but not chatted with any 'real life' users. Please keep us in the loop!

    Fabulous stuff. Pointed this out to a guy my age who was claiming that the young people had it easy. I listed all the advantages we had growing up that my kids never had. I know I'm glad I went to school and started work in the 70s rather than now.

    Hi folks, another day another bass transcription, another question. I have an eight bar section repeats six times. Is this too many to just write 'six times' and enclose it in repeat signs? What is the conventional wisdom? Would that make it a bit of a nightmare to count? Sould I write it out twice and only repeat three times? This is what it looks like at the moment Oh and where should the 'six times' go? at the end of the section or where it is now?

    This won't be here long.
