    All sorted - I gave him a call and explained

    Unfortunately not but I just chop down a standard set. That works fine, even on the skinny posts of the Musicmaster.

    Elixir strings last over a year for me.

    Something like this for sure. Retro monitors mounted at an angle. Like from a James Bond film. Bonus points if you have facial recognition software which prints out pictures of Chick Corea

    Epic 🥳 so the tall font muff didn't make the final board?

    Oh yes sorry I forgot there are different types now! It's a 4 string set, nickel.

    Great, yeah no worries! Good to meet you Stuart, you can post here https://www.basschat.co.uk/forum/75-affiliates/ Have a look at the T&Cs at the top and let me know if you have any questions.

    Hi guys Just a heads up for those who don’t know about https://www.mormusic.com/repairs/ Phil travels around in his van picking up repairs and custom jobs all over the place and is well worth a look. Very easy, no hassle and a brilliant service (normally under a week). We just had a chat about music retail generally. Mad to hear that he makes more money setting up a fender bass than by selling one these days. Get in touch with him if you have anything that needs fixing or customising. This is not a paid endorsement!!

    Headphones are a guilty pleasure of mine. I use beyer dt770 for playing precisely because they don’t bloat the bass end so there’s a lot of ‘space’ for playing along with music. I find cans which are designed for pleasurable listening sound too crowded for bass monitoring. For music I have a set of Yamaha YHL700A which are not well known but absolutely fantastic. I can’t say enough about them - I rarely use the cinema modes but the soundstage and weight of the bass is perfectly judged especially using the listening care setting which reduces perceived low end loss at low volume. With ambient noise setting on, it’s like having some lovely speakers in the room. Yamaha have recently released a slightly paired down version, the yhl500a which I think have the same audio but benefit from multipoint Bluetooth. They don’t have ANC and don’t fold etc so they are designed more for listening at home. They’re only £150ish. Most reviews of the 700s are less than perfect due to the lack of convenience like no multipoint Bluetooth and weak ANC but all I care about is the audio quality, and they excel against anything else I have tried. I bought loads of top rated headphones from Amazon and returned them all - Dyson, Focal, etc. They either didn’t sound as rich or were way too tight. Some had amazing ANC (Dyson) but it depends what you want. It seems as though most manufacturers cater towards people who want touch controls or for their headphones to pause when they take them off, stuff which imo is pointless if it’s at the cost of better sound.

    This is the only clip I’ve recorded of mine. I’ll do some more! It’s used very subtly here, just a very smooth and wide envelope. I turn it on at about 1:15

    Doesn’t that hurt?

    I'm tempted to get one to compare to the original but I'm scared it'll be as good which will be discombobulating

    I have a box of these strings, brand new and unopened. For ages they were impossible to find so I think I bought a few sets just in case. £40 posted?
  16. ped
    This is the one I sent him the link to, so presumably it was this one but I'll check 3011 CLEAR, GLOSSY https://osmouk.com/product/polyx-oil-original/
  17. ped
    Ah righto I wasn't aware of the different types. I'll ask which one he used and let you know. It's holding up really well, but I suppose it would be good to know in case I want to give it another coat one day
  18. ped
    Hi mate it was the glossy clear version, I think you can get a small tin for about £20. A bloke on TB used the satin version which looked good, too.

    Pedants are us! Ok yours checks out, though the grille cloth needs replacing. The Mustang one - I just noticed it has a maple fretboard. Tsk tsk. How do they sleep at night. At least it has a wonky bridge

    I’ve seen T shirts like this before but always assumed that they were knock offs. This looks like a genuine Fender product - how can they get the date wrong??
  21. ped
    I reckon everyone should chill out and stop making new stuff for a bit
  22. ped
    Yeah kind of a fluke but it’s worked out quite nicely!
  23. ped
    Yeah that’s not going to work unfortunately. You need something specific like the Yamahas. Personally I think wired headphones like Beyer DT770 are best - honest non flattering sound which will give a good representation of your tone, long flexible and snag free cable.

    These are meant to be quite good https://www.thomann.co.uk/yamaha_yh_wl500.htm

    Those are super cool basses. You know when you can tell something plays well just by looking at it! Folllowing on with the basses on the carpet theme here’s my herd - I tried to take a picture like yours from above but I couldn’t get high enough! I’ve got the Musicmaster (fretted) pretty bang on, setup wise, now. Labella flats (.050 - .110) and some truss rod fun and it’s playing really nicely.
