police squad

I have a spare set for my hofner violin bass, maybe I might try them maybe not. I dont know😂

What La Bellas are you going for, 'Deep talking bass'?

delivery today, DHL fingers crossed

looks great with the black guard. I didn't know they came with a black one too. How does it sound?

I prefer the black

That's a lovely looking burst. I must be growing up (old) Happy NBD

Finally back in stock at Andertons. I have just ordered one, interest free credit over 9 months A black one What's not to like I have a gig in september that I can try it on. Roll on delivery!!

I think you're right, I'll just buy new. Great pickup, another tenner or so shouldn't matter

yes, I know there is the custom shop one and the standard one. I have the standard one in a bitsa I made and I want the same again The polepieces do not looked bevelled in the ebay advert, but they are on the one I have

I've recently discovered FM. Got tickets to see them, can't wait, oh and the Quireboys

yup, I'm just off to order Wolfgang's album now

Prior to lockdown one, I bought a sennheiser radio mic. a 945, I did get to use it last summer and now am using it again. Great bit of kit Also, for a new function band thing I'm doing, A Vintage Jerry Donahue telecaster into a Vox MV-50 AC. This is a digital 50 watt amp, the size of a tub of margarine. It's awesome. Really incredible.

That looks wonderful. Very Herbie Flowers

you'll never learn!! I know P bass, alder body, r/wood board is my sound. Still I have others and buy more 'others' Why? Why not enjoy your white P bass😁

I dont think that is reasonable. You might have to travel a bit further afield. Someone on here might have one, they might let you try it. Hopefully someone will chime in with one Whereabouts are you?

yep welcome back Blue

That's my old XL2. Keep it, it's a truly wonderful bass guitar

yep I have read this, as I also sing. I've had no real training in the 30+ years of trying to sing. I relax where I can and don't strain myself. Staying well hydrated during the day also helps when singing down the pub. When I started singing the Police stuff, I learnt another level of control and pitch and jumping into and out of falsetto. Now I sing a lot of 80s stuff, including Wham!. George's voice has a great range and is tough to cover well. I always have a monitor now, it has made such a difference. Just before we went back into lockdown I was singing almost 2 hour 2nd sets (on top of 1 hour for the first) I would be interested in some lessons, just to see if I can improve on what I already do. I used to sing because it meant I didn't need a singer but now I love singing. I think I would rather sing than play bass these days (of course I do both plus guitar) I have no idea what my range is either but if you listen to 'Take on me' by A-Ha the lowest note in the chorus 'Take' I can just about hit and the highest note is only just about hitable. This could be a great thread

I had that when I first gigged a Les Paul. I absolutely hated it, couldn't believe I'd blown a months wages on it. Turned out to be too low on the strap!! Then it was my goto for quite some time

I've had 3. They all got sold. They dont work for me, but a couple of summers ago I played at a festival in Westerham and there was a kinks tribute. He used a 64 reissue with flats. It sounded magic. so maybe one day I may buy a forth and pop some flats on it
