  1. I'm afraid that interviewer isn't very good,
  2. I would say, some Ed Shearan and that Uptown funk song, also Marry you by Bruno Mars
  3. the Precision at the very back there, That looks to have the same neck profile as my '73. What year is it please
  4. I didnt take any, which is unlike me I'm afraid
  5. I took my HB P bass to its first Policed gig on Saturday. I rolled the fingerboard edges and cut the nut a little deeper, so the action was nice. My word, what an amazing bass. It sounded wonderful, the big neck sat lovely in my hand. The band commented on what a great bass sound I had. I couldn't recomend this bass enough, yes it needed a little set up and the rolled edges are amazing but it's just a great instrument.
  6. dammit I've just bought one of these new, could have saved 30 quid These are great, GLWTS
  7. you need to charge at least £200 per band member, then add a mileage and hotel charge
  8. My wife went for an audition and took my RM. She has the same problem but didnt know about the switch (it hadn't happened to me at that point so I couldn't warn her about it
  9. I have received a set of 9050ML from Thomann .050 to .100 long scale bass strings I wanted 9050L .45 to .100 It was my mistake, these are unused 25 quid posted. Get in touch if you want them
  10. headphone button catches us all. Not a design triumph unfortunately. I always check it now when I set up
  11. Fairy dust mixed with snake oil, that's how to do it
  12. When I was 6, I wanted to play the violin. No idea why but I did till I was 13. Then I wanted to play the bass, again no idea why. My older brothers both played and they helped me starting out. Within 6 months I did my first gig. 3 piece, playing T.Rex, Buddy Holly, The Jam. This was 1981 Tonight I'm doing my first show with the Americana Revue band. It's sold out. I'm mildly scared!!
  13. yes I have one. It's too heavy to take to rehearsals (but I do) and it sounds great.
  14. I used the HA3500 and 4x10 transporter cab for nearly 20 years. It was a great setup but then I went lightweight cabs (mark bass) and eventually the amp went class D too. I still have a (different) HA3500 in the music room though
  15. Today I rolled the fingerboard edges and cut the nut deeper (and it was already pretty good) and it has made an incredible difference. I do think I need to shim the neck as the screws in the bridge saddles are digging into my hand a bit. But I've been playing it for about 3 hours today, learning new material and I'm really enjoying it. Rolling the finger board was very rewarding actually
  16. WOW, just WOW sanding block and about 25 minutes. amazing. I feel like a clever person @Jean-Luc Pickguard thanks mate
  17. I've actually bought the first sanding pad that you recommended, so I'll give it a go tomorrow as am rehearsing staright after work I shall apply your technique, i used to be a metal polisher and I understand about letting the tool do the work and not applying too much pressure I'll post my results as I get them
  18. do you have a link to a video, as to how you did this method please. (so I can do it right first time)
  19. if this is as good as my HB PB50 then someone will be very pleased GLWTS
  20. the Harley Benton PB50 has a lovely chunky neck which will defo improve when rolled
  21. I'll try one of these then. It's an unlacquered maple board (Harley Benton) so should be fine
  22. Hi there has anyone done this and how did you do it please There are a few vids on Youtube buta bit of first hand knowledge would be good cheers
