    No we’re not.... 😀

    Could it have had the phase reversed for some reason? So the tip of one plug goes to the sleeve of the other and vice versa? Edit: just realised that it tests fine with a cable tester so forget I said anything....

    Especially those with the confidence to show the bloopers at the end. Nice touch, that. 😁

    I have a business account as the limits on a personal account were too restrictive given that I was quite active on eBay at the time. IIRC the verification process was a bit more involved but it can’t have been that onerous as I managed to complete it and I have a very limited supply of patience. Once it’s setup (I was trading as a Sole trader so there was no requirement to have an actual business registration or such like) then the account itself works just like a personal account. The setup process may have changed in the last ten years or so but I’ve had no issues since I set mine up.

    Very good. Better than I could manage after less than three months. Who am I kidding. Probably better than I could manage now. You seem to be one of those annoyingly talented people. The bass sounds lovely.

    I'm not sure how I feel about doing this as most of the stuff I've written and recorded has been restricted to a very limited audience (and for good reason). This one may be a bit more tolerable so here you go. There's a lot of things I want to do to improve it but if I do them all I'll never actually "finish" so here's the current version... Be gentle 🙂

    Fantastic! Thanks for the link, Jack. Despite what Steve Howe says in the interviews, I thought the mix was pretty good - Chris Squire sounds epic. The standout for me, though, is Steve Howe’s solo in Yours Is No Disgrace. Really enjoyed the whole thing 🤓

    I just got the Steven Wilson remix of this... ...which I am thoroughly enjoying. Free Hand will be next...

    And there we differ. The sound of a high gain pickup plugged into a big valve amp with the gain turned up - that hiss of expectation before the first chord is struck - that’s the sound of rock. A sound to make a grown man, well..., grow Pickup hum from a P90 is just the sound of my fluorescent lights.

    My only issue with P90s is the inherent hum from them. I fitted a set of Kinman noiseless P90s in my K Line and love them. Same sound as the standard P90 but completely hum-free. Great pickups

    I had one of these for a few years and can attest to how good they are. Great for recording rehearsals and then doing individual mixes for each of the guys in the band. GLWTS

    Hiya!
  13. Skinnyman
    She turned me into a newt. Oh, hang on. Sorry. Wrong film. D’oh!

    BassChat has done many things for all of us, as attested to here. But it still hasn’t told me which bass is best for metal. Pah!

    That’s a cracking idea - although he’d need a grown up to help, I think. I personally would also have gone with Teebseyes on the front of the headstock instead of the faux fender logo. Well, I wouldn’t because I’m not Teebs but you know what I mean....

    Lovely and warm and smelling of donkey farts thank-you-for-asking 😜
  17. Skinnyman
    Bet Lynch if that throw’s anything to go by.....
  18. Skinnyman
    Looks nice. Not as nice as the tasteful leopardskin-print throw but still very nice. Looking at those cushions on your chair I’m guessing that the Chalfonts are still giving you grief? Thanks for sharing the build - and for the fascinating glimpse through the keyhole Chez Teebs 😁
  19. Skinnyman
    That’s a very short scale...... Oh, hang on......
  20. Skinnyman
    Pay no attention to them, Young Teebs. You’ve done a grand job there and I’m looking forward to seeing the pictures of the finished article. Out of interest, how long has the build taken? And would you do another one - or has this scratched the itch? Whats your next plan to avoid Mrs T during lockdown? Build a glider in the loft? Or a 1:1 scale icebreaker? Seriously though, that looks like a nice job and I’m looking forward to your impressions on playability and tone....
  21. Skinnyman
    I was thinking of ordering from them but not sure whether they’re open during the German lockdown. There’s nothing on their website one way or the other so before I hit “Order Now” has anyone dealt with them recently?
  22. Skinnyman
    I like boring. 😁
  23. Skinnyman
    Thank you. So does everyone - but nobody ever boasts of their accomplishment in making it 😁
  24. Skinnyman
    I’m beans on toast. Easy and simple and very unlikely to impress anyone 😁
  25. Skinnyman
    Got it, thank you - you’re an absolute star! Little Anna will be made up...... ....once I’ve practised it a few times 😁 Thanks, Rich
