Thank you so much for sharing @Quatschmacher. I can't afford the pedal but your patches still put a smile on my face

Nailed it!

I met Neil in a layby in classic BC fashion where we talked basses and noodled through a battery powered amp. He bought a Westone from me and was a joy to deal with. Great comms, flexible and helpful as my erratic plans kept changing and the money was real. Recommended.

Totally a keeper. The moment I played it I was a fan. Balance, weight, lovely neck and such a round thumping P Bass tone. Really hot pickups, easily mistaken for an active bass. Just a quality instrument. I've never played a Fodera or a 4 grand boutique bass but I have played some pretty good Fenders and Maruszczyk instruments and the profile sits comfortably with them.

It might be hard for people to get used to...

Played a pretty empty football club last night. But those who were there enjoyed it. And we worked hard and got people dancing which I regard as 'the job'. I'd spent the day playing with various configurations of pedals, planned out an outrageous two amp set up, just because. Then left the pedal board at home and of course being the PA guy I had no time to set up my gear anyway so went with the tried and tested Trace/Barefaced combination.

That may have to be my new stage name

Stunning

I don't have this one but I have the Bruce Thomas Profile bass from the Bass Centre and it's a sublime instrument. That does look gorgeous though, look forward to your review

I'm tumescent.

Tim bought an amp from me. Excellent Basschatter, prompt payment, great comms. Thanks Tim, happy to recommend you to all who sail in the good ship Basschat

Sometimes a review leaves me wishing I'd been there. Like this one ☝️

Mark sold me a Markbass pedal which arrived beautifully packaged, on time and his communication was excellent throughout. Thanks again Mark happy to recommend you to everyone here.

Two gigs of three done. Couldn't imagine a greater contrast. Last night a big venue virtually empty but those there polite and friendly. Thursday a packed pub seething with drunkeness and violence. Tonight a football club. Who knows what that will be like. It's a fun little run because it's not only three different towns but three different bands too. Took my Harley Benton with me to the barracks town where the worst of the fighting took place and while it was a good choice for its robustness its a little heavy for close quarters hand to hand combat. Tonight I'll go with something lighter so if I need to I can get a faster swing.

Hey @stevie what did you stick on the handle? And to what end?

Any one using the term frightful ar$e is clearly anything but.

I discovered the eq switch last night. Played half the gig with it off! Sounded OK surprisingly

Thanks once again Stevie.

I can't bear it. Any of it. The whole David Brent culture makes me I'll.

Ah, get thee behind me Satan.

I am a tart. I can't deny it. I think it stems from a restless soul. I'm always looking for novelty, never satisfied for long with whatever was new just moments before. I remember a fellow alchy saying when asked what his favourite drink was he invariably replied 'the next one'. I'm a bit like that with amps, cabs, effects, instruments, cases, straps, cables etc etc etc etc etc etc
