Is it one of these? Harvest Green? Looks a blummin lovely colour that! Nice nice bass. I see they come with a noiseless J pickup. Might want to factor that in if you replace them as you might not enjoy the hum off a single coil. As has been mentioned, maybe try lowering the pickups you do have (if you haven't already). You might find the passive beef and sweetness you're after if you wind them down a bit. The Player pickups seem decent stock from what I've read. Of course having one in your hand is the real story...

Did they close with How's About That Then?

Ah, that kind of kneecap then. Not for me either if so.

English Teacher is the only act that I've managed to watch live so far. Never heard of them but I too thought they were ace 👍

No this P is staying, but now I need another with Barts 😆 Glad you're happy and it sounds lush from your description. "Dreamy" - love that!

I've always wondered about and been interested in the Barts. Classic or Original? It may seem a bit crazy to put in some pickups that cost the same as the bass, but I've had these Lollars in a drawer for a few years but never used them. Forgot about them to be honest. I was having a house tidy and discovered enough good P bass bits from here and there knocking around to warrant buying a cheapy to put them all on. It was either that or sell all the bits. Glad I kept them. Turned out to be a fun little project!

Instead of replacing it straight away, try putting on 2 or 3 trussrod washers. This will give you a few extra turns and usually solve the problem. It's a standard fix and costs only pennies (well, couple of quid probably). Just undo and take off the trussrod nut, place washers over the rod thread, then put the nut back on and slowly tighten it to the ballpark of where you had it before, gently flexing the neck straight as you do to take the load off the trussrod as you go. Fine tune from there. Hope that makes sense!

Now you're talking. Let 'em have it!

Always happy to help a bass brother get back on his feet... All the best @lee650 onwards and upwards mate 👊

My dad saw this at the car boot yesterday and rang me to see if I wanted it. Unfortunately he couldn't work out how to take a photo or send it to me 😄 Apparently the guy selling said it belongs to his son who plays guitar all over the world, and the bass had been in his attic for 25 years. There's no serial numbers on it. I said it sounds like it's just been nicked off someone in Rhyl so I passed! *edit - of course the story might be true, but over the phone it sounded fishy. The guy wanted £200 for it btw @AndyTravis

Love this. Brian "goofing around" during the Pet Sounds sessions. Didn't even make the original album. I am a sucker for trombones farting out though 😄

I initially didn't post because it kind of feels like I've lost a lost family member in a way. It's beyond usual words. Just been paying my own private respects, celebrating his work and a lifetime of my personal memories attached to it.

No, they already have all the Mordor you need at just the turn of a dial 😄

Today I finished a good mod, fix and fettle job on my Squier Sonic P. It's now sporting a Lollar P pickup, new wiring harness and a set of Dunlop Super Bright steels. I've honestly just been laughing my head off it sounds so good now. So knarley and expressive. Sorry just had to share. I'm smitten!

Rub some moisturiser on your hands and before the cream is fully absorbed, rub your hands over your strings. That'll get you there.

Roger Walters? I think he's Julie's estranged brother. Used to be a good brickie back in the day, eventually got sacked for tearing down the wall.

Same. I think the video still holds up today too.

The fingerboard dots look like they've filled the holes with woodfiller to match the body finish.

Wow that Fender app and input device look great. Less faff wins everytime for me!

Audio Evolution was the best when I used it a few years ago. I used it to edit together the music for a school concert I was involved in. User friendly and good quality, probably even better now. https://www.extreamsd.com/

Business must be slow because flatwounds are really popular again 😆

That looks very nice. Neck just needs squirrelling to the right a bit to line everything up!
