    The Xcerts last night in Birmingham. Was good fun!

    Another for ACS customs this end or if you’re using in ears regularly then you’d be surprised at how much a good set of moulded headphones will cut out external noise and allow you to work at a much lower level. Can’t recommend Miles from Dakin Custom Audio highly enough if you go down that route. Incredibly knowledgeable and doesn’t discriminate from weekend warrior to arena regular. https://www.dakincustomaudio.com/?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAApFMcv0u4bHv1uEW46aJkDGdFGNu1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-KDg0-z1igMV1JZQBh3rTwCZEAAYASAAEgIBWfD_BwE

    Not 100% on how to price this but… It’s in desperate need of a service and needs the power connection replacing as it’s a bit loose. Note - this was converted to be powered only years ago and no longer runs on batteries. They go anywhere between £160-£200 brand new with box etc in a good condition. Which, this is not. It was bought for me as a Christmas present in about 2003/4 (Imagine my parents face when they read ‘Russian big muff’ on my Xmas list 😂) Used solidly for about 8 years and has signs of such use including remnants of the gaffer tape I used to use to hold the position of the knobs. It’s sat in storage since about 2011. So, I’m going to put it up at £80 which is half of the cheapest perfect condition, working price I’ve seen. But, I’m not trying to rip anyone off so open to offers on this and wouldn’t write off trades for preamps, Chorus or compression pedals, or cases for short scales. +£5 postage to mainland UK https://youtube.com/shorts/jxTjulbQicg?si=duFNeNoyczDZiy5Q

    Thanks for this, I’ve seen the build diary before and really enjoyed it! Hadn’t seen the recordings, sounds really good that!

    Yeah I’d essentially be looking at replicating the Pawn Shop but I don’t think those pickups are available? Not sure I didn’t think of trying just trying a split coil upgrade first but that could well be the first step! Thanks all!
  6. AlexDelores
    Would consider trades for Pre amp or Chorus pedals.
  7. AlexDelores
    Yeah I did look at them as there’s one for sale in my local shop… But, I really, really don’t like the shape of the headstock on G&L basses. Shallow, I know. But it’s just not my thing.
  8. AlexDelores
    That’s a good shout. Will have a look. Thank you 🙏

    Who’s put a humbucker on a Mustang? Has it noticeably changed the sound? I’d like to give mine a more ‘woolly’ sound as I’m not a massive fan of the single coil ‘twang’ and tend to dial the tone right down. Humbuckers are generally my favourite pickup sound but I’m cautious that the positioning and scale of the Mustang might not impact the sound that much. I’m pretty clueless when it comes to mods etc so just getting an idea of if it’s worth it before I go down a rabbit hole.

    I’ve got to say, one of the ads popped up on instagram a few days ago and I think they’re very nice looking and sounding instruments. Especially for the price point. The only thing that isn’t to my taste aesthetically is the stripe on the headstock. Has anyone actually picked one up yet?
  12. AlexDelores
    Ah well, I agree with all 3 comments. They are very nice headstocks.
  13. AlexDelores
    If you read all 3 of those comments out loud In one go, Robert Trujillo will appear.

    I was there for this too and was right towards the front as she was on just before Kings of Leon. You’re right it was a shambles but in hindsight, very sad to see… I remember being able to see the discolour and dirt on her clothes! 😟

    Guns & Roses at Reading 2010? I think Dreadful, truly dreadful.
  16. AlexDelores
    I think @JohnDaBass picked one up a little while back and seemed very happy with it!
  17. AlexDelores
    Superb 👌

    What a stunning collection. What is the bridge pickup on the VDE? Looks like a humbucker attached to a J pickup.
  19. AlexDelores
    Nice! I didn’t realise his sig was a SS. Makes sense as he also plays Gretsch G2220. Thanks!
  20. AlexDelores
    Is the orange one short scale too? I’m guessing it’s not stock? It looks great!
  21. AlexDelores
    Think I’ll be going to this one! Used to go to Music Live with my dad and always enjoyed it!

    Came across after watching Ian King’s new one. One hell of a rig, full of gizmos and pedals galore. ‘The Doorway to Funk’ is particularly cool. Do love those Serek basses. Fortunately, I can’t afford to even think about buying one. But they are very nice. Good watch.

    Oh, and… Things were never good if they’re not good now by Donovan Woods also had me hooked this year!

    My two favourite album releases from this year would be: Enough of the sweet talk by Lime Cordiale Gravity by The Dangerous Summer Saw TDS in September and they were absolutely awesome. Couldn’t catch LC when they were in the UK as I had gigs but hopefully I’ll get them the next time ‘round. Happy New Year all! Hope those out gigging have good shows and safe evenings. May your gigs be drunken heckler, and beer spillage free 🙏

    Nice little filter. Hasn’t been used in a while, but in good working order, albeit with signs of use. *SOLD*
