I've decided to change pickups in a P Bass recently as well. I have ordered Kent Armstrong Vintage P Bass Alnico pick ups. For no better reason than the Kenrt Armstrong I bought for my old Aria is fabulous. My favourite P Bass pick up is the one supplied with the Bruce Thomas Profile. I emailed to ask if they would sell just the pick ups but sadly never got a reply. I'm interested in the Entwistle's now I've read this thread. If the ones I've bought don't do the job I'll give one of those a try.

+1 for Vintage, Revelation and , if you can find one second hand, a Bass Collection P bass. They are seriously good. Harley Benton Enhanced is probably the most crazy good value for money anywhere - and is under £300. https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_enhanced_mp_4mn_natural.htm However shipping from Germany might be a bit hit and miss at the moment.

Thank you!

I have used the lock down to organise my bi amped rig. Rack mounted Trace and Bugera heads, a crossover, a couple of always on effects and my wireless receiver. All wired together and ready to roll, should actually be a faster set up now. Deep rack allows for multi socket at the rear and space to pack some cables. Planning on two different effects set ups too, one for each amp.

Ampeg SVT CL. 15" Barefaced cabs. Two. You will never look back.

Yep. I was about to post the same thing

Another faultless transaction. I relieved Nick of some surplus strings in exchange for some surplus cash. Really nice guy to deal with. Clear, precise communication, stuff arrives promptly and well packaged

Today's attempt. This time I have attempted to add chords Rockin'_In_A_Flat.pdf

My turtle picks have arrived and I have been bashing out some rocky stuff with them. I'm just worried they might damage my lovely strings 😃

I still haven't heard the digital artifacts on the Zoom so I'm still happy with it. But all this talk of dedicated headphone amps is getting my gasssss leaking Is there not an elephant in the room though? We're discussing amps without mentioning cabs. Which headphones pair best with which headphone amp? This seems crucial to me. But not as important as which cans can be comfortably worn by a spectacle wearer for long periods of time?

Sorry Al, been crazy busy, will try to find time to look at this tomorrow

Thank you. It probably has been said but to be honest so much has been said that I struggle to apply all the lessons every time. For example a lot was being made earlier about making the layout as simple and easy to read as possible. Not arguing with you as I don't know what I'm doing yet, but the version you posted looks way messier to my eyes. It's hard to know which rules arew firm and which are just guidlines. Either way I'm genuinely grateful for the help.

I used the 'swing' and then 'straight' commands on mine and it did the job. Very glad to have found out about this as the one I'm transcribing today does not work straight but does swung!

😭😭😭😭😭

Actually it does! Thank you for this I am working on today's transcription right now but when I'm done I'll study what you've sent

In my defence I have never confused Norman Watt-Roy with Norman Wisdom.

Today I discovered that people who were talking about Jaco Pastorious as if he were still alive were not in fact mad. I have been conflating Pino Palladino with Jaco Pastorious. Turns out they are actually two different people!

Currently working on Night Boat To Cairo. Everything super straight forward walking bass rhythm - but oh my the key!! First few bars had a D♭ and a B♭ (or C# A#) The next part introduced an E♭ and an A♭ and now we have a G♭. Unless it's changed key and we have D#, F# and G# which is possible because we start outlining a chord of F where previously we have outlined F minor whenever it has cropped up. Man this makes my head spin. EDIT: and the tempo changes three times, and now it's started to slow down. So mu Italian is coming along "Ritardando" indeed.

Sorry! I was tired and frustrated with it. But I dug deep and found how to do it. The add triplet function on musescore is weird! I used system text to add swing to the intro changing to straight when appropriate. Perfect! Thank you so much, another mystery solved.

This has beaten me. I understand all the terminology but no amount of trying to stick to what you suggest here has produced anything even close to what's being played. It's completely beaten me I'm afraid so until I grasp whatever it is I'm missing I'll stick with my attempt as it at least sounds correct when played.
