Surely you are thinking of a different kind of clown emission... (ewww did I really just post that? 🤮😳 )

Many thanks all - yep, dropping the pickup on that side did the trick. Just weird that is should suddenly manifest like that! Cheers

Hi chaps, All of a sudden my Stingray has developed a weird and extreme overtone on the E string, which becomes more noticeable the higher up you play - barely hear anything at low G but at high G it literally sounds like two notes half a semitone apart! Having done a bit of digging (didn't find much on here mind) and found a list of possible factors I'm guessing the most likely cause is some actual string issue, given the sudden onset, rather than something like string height (which may well have dropped in this weather, but I always have very low) or an electrical issue. I just wondered what opinions you chaps might have, before I go lashing out on a new set of strings which of course might not solve the problem? Cheers, Andy

Ped and team, you have done a great job. I have undergone other fora migrations in the past and this has been as smooth (and actually beneficial) as any. You tried to warn people but ultimately they have to take responsibility! Lead a horse to water... SO let's all concentrate on the whizzy new positives

Bought a pair of Congas off Mick - excellent condition, good price, and a very friendly chap - even let me have a go of his Ritter while I was there (very nice too!) I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. Cheers!

I'm dead chuffed to announce that I'll be playing with the Paramount Blues Band at St Harmonica's Blues Club in Southgate (N London) next Friday, 9 May! The address is 6 Cannon Hill, N14 7HG. Doors open at 8 and admission is free! We're on from 9-10 and 10.30-11.30. Be great to see anyone from Basschat!

Browsing for Stingrays I came across this!

If only I was ambidextrous...

Clearly I need a holiday to Cornwall...

Bought a Barefaced Compact from Mike which sadly was damaged in transit (through no fault of his packaging, I would stress); Mike was first class about it, unhesitatingly offering a full refund if I wanted one and contacting Alex to find out about repairs etc. We rapidly reached a satisfactory compromise thanks to his straightforward and helpful attitude. I wouldn't have the slightest hesitation about dealing with him again - a very honest, genuine and helpful chap. Thanks Mike!

Bought a pair of Peavey monitors from Jim, very pleased - good and friendly communications, very reasonable price and excellent packaging! Wouldn't hesitate for a moment to deal with him again.
