  1. It's experience which tells me whether or not a pickup will make a significant difference or not. I just didn't appreciate the use of a pretty boring, edge example then just extrapolate that out to "all pickup swaps do eff all" type conclusion. Absolute tosh. But yes, your wallet will thank you for keeping out of it
  2. Thorsten bought a G&L Tribute LB-100 from me. Sound as a pound - respectful in the negotiations, prompt payment and communicative throughout. Deal with confidence.
  3. Well indeed, the little so-and-so will be off ordering cabs and basses as soon as you turn your back.
  4. Except for the fact that the Daily Fail is to news reporting what Evri is to delivering packages...
  5. Are you looking at the same product as me?
  6. I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about...
  7. That probably would have increased the value - flatwound players are a weird bunch...
  8. You could have sold those!
  9. Yes! Why ask?
  10. Goddamnit, jinxed it. Can's been kicked down the road another couple of weeks
  11. Returns can take time, but they do eventually get there. If you're worried, give them a prod.
  12. Changed to a new game - Groundhog Day - been "Fast delivery within approx. 4 business days" for about the past 4 days now. TBF, the last email I got about a time change said the ETA was "week 8 2025" and we've just begun week 8, so hopefully it'll be soon...
  13. I don't have any experience with the Spark, but as a former owner of the Mojomojo, I say it's a great OD pedal, very useable on bass despite its billing as a "guitar" pedal. I had it as my main OD for years and only changed because of pedalboard consolidation (got a Joyo Monomyth which combines OD, EQ and DI in one package).
  14. I never said you were, that's why I said "if" and "someone" - it's hypothetical. I'm not accusing you of anything.
  15. I would say that is quite the unusual occurrence, so while I congratulate you on your good fortune, it would tick me off if someone used that example to try and lean on me in a haggle.
  16. I would just like to report that I received a PM this afternoon but got no email.
  17. Eh, just a suggestion. Ruin some poor sod of a brand that you've acquired with your fever dream instruments without derailing the gravy train...
  18. That's why they own the likes of Charvel/Jackson etc.? No?
  19. I would, if the price was right. At the moment, they're going through a bit of a "rose tinted spectacles" period. There's a Modern Player one local to me but they want like £500 for it - get poked - they were like £300 new back in the day.
  20. Purple is the new black...
  21. I liked the Dimension, especially the Modern Player one with the triplebucker. Unfortunately, when Fender was having its short MIC adventure, my head got turned by the Starcaster, and I ended up disliking it very much!
  22. Well, that's your opinion, but I have had a couple of reasons to change them - on an Epiphone Embassy where the play in them was unacceptable (like an eighth of a turn of nothing when changing direction) and a cheapy G4M bass where none of them were great but the D string tuner was particularly weird where it would get tighter and more difficult to turn as the string came up to tension.
  23. Come see me, I play a BB live from time to time
  24. What's the point in it? When I go to a gig, I want to hear the musicians, warts and all. I don't care about wee mistakes, in fact I am reassured by the odd bloop because it means that A) they're human and B) makes me feel better when I'm up there and I make the odd bloop. I would be utterly bored in a setup like this. Hard no from me.
  25. They're going to have a hard time selling that. It just looks knockoff to me. Also, have they ever heard of staging a photo? Sure, I'll come pick this bass up from you, even if I don't get stabbed I will probably contract ebola or something. Bloody hell!
