    That look brilliant! Sadly I'm not quite near enough...love that Lalo Schifrin groove . Good luck!

    For sale only: Alembic SF-2 Bass Superfilter, £600 Just bought from here, along with the superb F1-X rack pre. Hugely versatile 2-channel low/band/high pass filters with independent resonance gain at the filter cut-off frequency. Gives 2-channel plus dry blend mixing - would love to keep but I really need funds for a cab! Can be run as a preamp or in the effects loop of your existing pre (or before it, or after it!) I'll add some links tomorrow; meanwhile this is fully working, the odd scratch per pics, and comes with UK PSU and a manual. Postage at £10 in UK.

    Ace of Spades - Link Wray and his Raymen (rockabilly, 1966), O.V. Wright (funk, 1970), Speed Freak (pop, 1971) Heavy Joker (Jazz/rock, 1976), Southfork Bluesgrass Band (I'm guessing bluesgrass, 1979), Motörhead (easy listening, 1980) Silversurfer (Techno, 2006) Jacob Bellens ('alt rock', 2016) Other popular playing card song titles include 'The Joker' and 'Queen of Hearts', apparently.

    Me too - although in my case it's been a 30 year semi-succesful effort to play this:

    My 2018 Bruce Thomas was fantastic, I miss it and will buy another. Pickguard cut seemed fine to me, and pole alignment can be seen here: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/333115-sold-bass-centre-bruce-thomas-profile-p-bass/ I've owned a '64 P, a Custom Shop '64, a Limelight P and the Bruce Thomas; and they were all pole-aligned slightly differently and all sounded superb. But the BT was the best value

    Great track Si - I love that tone and it sits very well in that mix, very tempted by these now. I just hope the picture above is not to scale!

    Love that look Pawel - the cream pup covers are a great touch!

    Lightweight bump (a nudge perhaps?)

    Alberto sold me two preamps from Italy to UK: amazing packaging! And a fast delivery with communications throughout. A very pleasant transaction; grazie mille Alberto!

    Hello Nick, Would this be for a band, or practice? If in a band, would you have PA support, and are you competing with guitarists who don't never turn the volume dial anti-clockwise, and what size venues? And what is your budget..? Certainly lots of options at the lighter end: e.g. I play a Barefaced One10 with a Quilter Bass Block, but supplement that with PA. For bigger rooms I sometimes add a 1x15 but for the majority of pubs it's fine. And the classifieds here are a great way to source a bargain! Cheers Kev

    E.g.: https://en-us.sennheiser.com/sennheiser-he-1 $52,000 may seem a lot, but as it has a marble plinth, it doubles as a high-end cheeseboard. And of course you could hack in these $120,000 cans: https://audio46.com/shop/foacl-utopia-tournaire/ ...although what shocks me most about those is that the stand is extra: $12,000! For that I would expect the stand to be a tame velociraptor that I could ride to the shops.

    An excellent lesson, and just at the right time for me as I'm finally learning theory after 3 decades. Also proof that you should judge a book by its cover...thanks for posting!

    Another budget option just tested: my son plays bass too and is 2/3 my weight, so my bass is heavier on him than it is on me. We took turns playing the same riff and he sounded miles better. Ergo, heavier basses are better.

    Very happy with my 3.28kg PJ - through a Tech21 VT pre at SVT setting it has a superb low end. I suppose the only way to tell if weight makes a difference is to isolate weight as the only test variable - not variance in cellular structure between woods, etc.. So best to measure low end response on Earth, and then take the bass to Jupiter for an A/B test (tip: bring headphones rather than speakers to reduce back strain).

    Bump-thing for the weekend, Sir?
  19. Kevsy71

    Playing 5-a-side tonight. Head height rule applies so I'll bring my low-pass filter....

    Just sold a head to Michael - smooth as you like with constant comms and fast payment. Highly recommended, cheers Michael!

    I'm guessing it was a resonant frequency if it was only E - causing the speaker to oscillate at its natural frequency. But over to the experts!

    Weekend bump!
  24. Kevsy71
    Sorry - having had little recent interest I've just now shipped it for sale elsewhere, but they should be able to ship to Finland - I will PM details. So now withdrawn from here
