Thanks. I think I’ve tracked it down now and have started the process of sorting it. I have disabled it for now so it should be ok for the time being

I’m pretty sure he made them!

Nothing has the same ‘ping’ as a popped G string on a Smith get one!

Rather than look for a good sounding reverb I’d be looking for some with specific features, namely the ability to bypass certain frequency bands (so for example you can add some reverb to the high mids but bypass the bass end). That sounds great on bass.

I’ve just eaten a whole bag of Minstrels and I still fancy some toast but surely it’s too late now

You should be out scouring the streets for interesting foreign strings

11:30 on a Friday night and we’re all online talking about strings. Awesome 🤘☺️

I only use Cobalts on my P; my other basses have Elixirs of the same gauge (though I think the E string is 0.100). I can record something if you like, but think nice warm nickel rounds with a great ‘zing’ and top end. A set lasts me over a year.

Here are my natural beauties

Think my tone control was on 75% ish but normally on that bass I have it at about 50%. I like the sound of bright flats with the tone down as opposed to dull flats with the tone on full, if that makes sense!

I liked the TI flats I had before but prefer the cobalts. The 40-95 set I have are more flexible and nicer to play than the TIs which I believe had a .043 G string. Whereabouts are you, anywhere near York you can have a try.

And you let me struggle with that hard case!

Not literally picked up, presumably 🤣

I always like to get a strap to match each of my basses. I was kind of looking for something a tiny bit more 'rock and roll' than my usual, but found most of the straps on offer a bit too covered with skulls or crosses for my liking. Then I came across a guy on Etsy who makes nice straps to order, normally with tooled details on the strap (like bullet holes, patterns, etc). I asked him to make me a plain one and it came today, I'm really happy with it! Plain black, really nice leather, non adjustable (he'll make whatever length you want) and altogether great value. Cheers ped

There you go!

Yep let me know what you prefer 👍🏻

Hi just a note to say please avoid comments about the Arab Israeli conflict please, cheersbye

Looks like one of John’s finest 👌🏽

Ah yes I remember you said you wanted black now. Wonder what the bass on the right is?

They’re great aren’t they - glad you like them.

Ah wow that looks awesome

Hi Graham, @Sibob talks about them in our podcast episode, have a listen

Mark King gats a bad rap here but a lot of his playing is very laid back and groovy. The super fast stuff he does is normally just for show, because believe it or not a lot of his fans kind of want to see that side of it too.

So? Still interesting, isn't it? Does playing bass matter? We're here to have fun, right?!

Why not?
