    "gelatinous slime.....plasmodial zycogastria" is surely a Carcass song title in waiting.

    Exactly my experience Stu - huge fan of the first 3 albums, Cliff's playing on Ride the Lightning got me into bass (Arbiter Ricky copy in fireglo!), I had massive expectations for AJFA but I just found most of it overlong, overdone and frankly boring. Re-listening today, I love Blackened and Harvester of Sorrow, and enjoy Eye of the Beholder and To LIve is to Die (naturally) but the rest does nothing for me. Whereas I still listen to Ride the LIghtning and Master of Puppets regularly.

    I've just started learning Bach's Cello Suite No 1 in G major - Prelude, and assumed it would require more than 4 strings and 21 frets. Until I saw this: I love this playing from Fabian Wendt, and his use of articial harmonics for the notes above 21st fret (Eb) led me to this excellent explanation from Johnny Cox: https://johnnycoxmusic.com/artificial-harmonics-bass/ It'll be a while until I get to those bars though, still trying to nail bar 7

    Just spotted that you can import PDF in the free 'Muse Score' notation application, may be worth a go.

    Practice is the cure for GAS

      You mean practice as in regularly buying equipment, of course?

      The musicians I admired all regularly practiced and I am embarrassed to say it took me almost 3 decades to work out why they were better! I do at least an hour a day these days and my playing has skyrocketed. I'm not sure it has fixed my desire for new gear though...

    As the original owner it's one of the few basses I regret having to sell...hope you're enjoying it as much as I did!

    Recently posted on YouTube: tight band with a tasty bass solo on a vintage BT 5

    I'd consider it at £14,500 if it immediately made me nail every Jamerson line*. But then I'd miss the decades of fun practicing them! * and if I actually had £14,500 in the first place

    Surely an ideal colour for a Chunderbird?

    Got the songs for this Sunday last night. There will be one rehearsal right before the service and no drummer, but the band are a great bunch and all will be well. Although I've been practicing 'For once in my life' on a P with full-fat La Bella flats/foam all week, so expect a few spontaneous chromatic runs in F at random points 😁

    I've moved since my last subscription, but I can't find a way to change the address when I renew...any tips please? Ta!

    I've only had one problem with UPS over the years which was resolved by eventually getting hold of their local depot phone number and talking to a dispatch manager - may be worth a try if you are prepared to go through the call centre first.

    Absolutely terrific Paul, that really put a smile on my face and a tap in my toes!

    For P bass reviews my go to is Bruno Tauzin: whether Custom Shop or Squier he gives well-recorded demos of pick and fingerstyle at various tone settings. His channel also has many grooves and covers worth a listen.

    Excellent explanation and runthrough Tom!

    Mine was similar...when I swapped pickguards I had to move the pickups slightly (it was a generic P bass pickguard I was fitting) and was able to better align the strings betwen the magnets. Not sure it made any tonal difference though! Great bass and glad you're enjoying yours.

    Our tech team are ace (and bass friendly ) but I've yet to hear a bass note come through on live stream, unless I'm using decent headphones and then only just. I enjoyed playing to even a reduced congregation last week as we could use the full PA with subs again!

    Great job Phil, looks amazing with the ebony! Back of the neck looks very easy to move around thanks to the light sanding of the varnish.

    Welcome and brilliant home studio/venue mate. Most pubs we play are half that size 😄
  22. Kevsy71
    Lovely! What's the weight, please?

    I bought a preamp from John - simply outstanding throughout! Rapid despatch, full communications throughout, and super-secure packaging. Very highly recommended, thanks John!
  24. Kevsy71
    A beauty! What's the weight, please?

    @SteveXFR Possible, but hats over a certain brim-width are very tricky to nick just using your index finger...
