  1. PM me the details and I'll have a think πŸ€” πŸ‘
  2. These are great preamps and I have one installed in one of my basses at present. Just in case anyones looking at this and thinks they only have space for 1 battery.....no problem the pre will work fine off 9v. πŸ‘ I've attached the manual which confirms this (page 5 bottom left). flexcore_manual.pdf
  3. Slightly different for me. I use ACS Pro 17s and 10s. I find the 17s are excellent for taming the rock band I'm in or going to a gig. The 10s work well for me in rehearsals when the volume is lower but you still want protection from cymbals / snare etc.
  4. This was once mine, for about 4 years.....😟 @ziggydolphinboy.....and here's me wondering why you don't see any Flamboyants for sale.....you own them all! πŸ˜’πŸ€£πŸ€£
  5. 35 microns seems very small and equals about 1 thousandth of an inch which is virtually flat / no relief. My basses range from .010" to .020" (converts to 270 microns to 530 microns). Over the years I've collected relief info from various manufactures and the range is about .010" to .020" (Fodera .010" / Wal .016" / Sadowsky .010" / Mayones Jabba .022" / Lakland .008") As others have said I use this as a start point and then tweak to suit.
  6. Ey up....from a Yorkshire man living in Aberdeen. Welcome David πŸ‘
  7. I have just gone through a lot of my studio / PA gear and removed the excess insert and patch cables etc. and have gathered together quite a collection of connectors. Some of the items are brand new never been used but all are in great condition and fully functional. I could be persueded to a bulk buy reduction. Postage would be based on how many and destination. The table below gives as much info on model / style as I know.
  8. I did some hunting and found a link to the old Audere site with a similar preamp on it here. It has an explanation of what the 6-way switch does. It looks like the one for sale has the knobs on the plate rotated by 180deg with the vol where the 6 way should be @jamesugster?? Looks an interesting preamp and I'd like to try it out but dont have a need at the moment. 😟
  9. She does have a great voice and I've got to say the band as a whole are excellent! Great feel, balance and groove. It's also nice to see a drummer play with dynamics and not trying to kill their kit. 🀣 I'm going through the same work process of getting a start up band together and although it's taken a lot of doing I'm pleased where we have got to. We're doing covers but have a "guideline" of not covering the same tracks everyone else does and it's been a breath of fresh air and well worth the work. Some of the tracks we do are : Say It Isn't So - Daryl Hall & John Oates, Free - Denice Williams, Never Too Much - Luther Vandross, Rock Steady - Aretha Franklin, When Will You Be Mine - Average White Band, Stop By Monies - Liquid Soul, Time Won't Wait - Jamiroquai etc Next rehearsal is tomorrow afternoon to go over some stuff ready for New Years Eve πŸ‘
  10. Round here if you mention "blues band" to most of the publicans / promoters it will put them off booking you as they think it's going to be "very-slow-blues-dirges-that-have-solos-that-go-on-foreveeeeeeeeer".......and they might be right. 🀣 Call yourselves "blues-rock" and you're fine and it gives you latitue to play stuff or arrangements that the "blues-chin-strokers" have less to complain about. "Blues" tends to go through periods of popularity cycles so personally I would not have "blues" in the band title as it may deter both publicans and punters. YMMV πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
  11. EXL means nickel strings and EPS means stainless in D'Addario language. I have a set of these on my 35" scale bass if that helps. The windings would be too short for 36" scale or if you're running strings through the body.
  12. Just bought lots'n'lots of strings from Jodie. Great strings, comms, shipping etc. Many thanks.
  13. Just watched it. Very well written and presented. I enjoyed it πŸ‘
  14. Tsk, tsk, tsk.......there you go again., using logic and common sense! The GAS Police will be round to make you see the errors of your ways 🀣 🀣 Totally agree with you on the "play what you want / need / afford / comfortable with". πŸ‘
