    And I’m lazy! I hate it when I go into shops and can’t play anything. I think most basses I’ve had I’ve ended up having to file down the G saddle because they won’t go low enough 😂

    If I play anything with an action more than 0.00001mm and basically zero relief I feel like my hands are numb and find it impossible!

    I’ve never had a response from Mayones. Ridiculous.

    Hi folks I prefer fabric or nylon straps on one of my basses but don’t like the buckle you get on adjustable length ones. Call me weird but I also don’t like that part of the strap is doubled where it loops back. I tend to have my strap quite short so this ends up being most of the length. After measuring my preferred length from hole to hole (100cm) I went to Etsy to find someone to make me a fixed length job. A few emails and the next day it’s ready - being posted as we speak (from Ukraine I think) I really like Etsy for this sort of thing. Cheers ped

    The bridge pickup is original, neck is a newer one. Also the bridge has been changed to a Schaller 3D (actually a better bridge) than the original. £700 is an absolute bargain 👍🏼👍🏼

    Yes and if I turn slightly. I remember in an old house my bass amp would make a whining noise when the light in the lounge was on, the room next door. Old wiring I guess.

    It wasn’t a comment about this bass specifically just a general observation.

    Definitely not related to any other equipment interference? I find my bass uke hisses a bit when my fluorescent desk lamp is on.

    Maybe a PM would have been more polite

    Hi there. Thanks for supporting the site. It looks like the renewal invoice was issued 13 hours ago so you might have an email to alert that payment will be taken. If you’d prefer to do it now manually please use this link and there should be a ‘renew now/pay now’ button https://www.basschat.co.uk/clients/purchases/ Cheers! ped

    Lovely stuff.

    What about command strips on the back of the bass. Invisible. Quick. Easy. Dangerous.

    You know the ones that were on my Vigier you briefly played - they’re over two years old!! Love the strings and Elixir are good friends of the forum too.

    That one needs to go in the 'Famous Basschatter Basses' thread! How long have you had that now?

    Here's your answer Cheers https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/387908-basschat-app/?do=findComment&comment=3940044

    She’s toast. Thanks. Normally just a spambot she isn’t a real person.

    😂 I'm starting to think I don't want to sell it now!! Not sure of the measurements actually, but I think the spacing is 19mm at the bridge and 40mm at the nut, specs which Ken has stuck with up until now. 34" scale.

    It's unique for several reasons - the early ones varied quite a lot as you know, with different pickup spacings, pickup types and construction. This is one of the earliest with the now traditional double near the bridge configuration and is unusual in that the bass has a dark bookmatched top. The BT shape remains to my mind the classic Smith design. As said above, I firmly believe such a great example of such a pivotal bass will grow in value over time, especially as Ken is changing his business setup and, although things have always been outsourced to some extent, I don't know what'll happen when Ken retires. So I'm in no rush to sell, and quite happy to keep it but if another player wants a unique piece of history and a thoroughly modern and fantastically constructed and sounding bass for less than a new one - let me know

    Bass sounds great in that tune. Fits the whole sound perfectly IMO.

    The best I found was the dark green sparkle version. With a limiter afterwards to stop it going too deep - and preferably in a loop with some clean blend. Oh and a volume boost too! But the FX25 has a unique squelch when the input overdrives the pedal which I love. Nearly everything else I’ve tried produces a nasty ‘whistle’ rather than a squelchy fart. I also found it sounded ace with one bass and terrible with others. Best with single pickup basses, and funnily enough works great with a stingray!

    I used to crank up the little vocal/bass solo bridge in ‘Freak On a Leash’ all the time. I used to wonder how he got that sound. But then at the same time I’d go nuts for some grand funk railroad. It was a confusing time with hair growing in new places and I didn’t have Basschat to turn to so I had to kill/downtune to A to satisfy my internal demons.

    Tbh he was one of my first influences. I actually really like his percussive technique and think his tone really works in Korn, with that clinky treble overriding everything else, cutting through quite a thick mix. Probably one of the first bass players I ‘noticed’ along with Mike Porcaro 👍🏼
