    I assumed it was a thing he did, as he also mentioned 'Chris Spire'

    He only uses the Rickenbacker for a very small number of songs, so I doubt he has anything specific for it. The helix's do, thats what I use for my dual output devices.

    I have got a 2001 Euro and a 2021 RST. They are both very good basses, while not really being the same as each other. There is certainly no drop off of quality on the RST.

    Mine is factory fitted agulars, not sure if it makes the difference. Yep, the not proper barts

    Yeovil has lost a lot of venues, but there are loads in the surrounding villages so doing ok. But as you say, in yeovil there are a lot of solo acoustic acts and stuff (not normally backing tracks), so if you do or like those, it is probably pretty good. Not my sort of thing. Actually since coming out of lockdown our average money has gone up, it used to be £250-300 (which is the amount which didn't change over the last decade) and it has gone to £300-350 average, which we are good with.

    Cant imagine a Spector with barts, although I suspect they are the US barts rather than the bart licensed things that Ibanez use in their budget basses. I do have one with Agulars though and that is probably my favourite

    Mostly good gig. This was a halloween party about 30 miles away, which is far from us, but the pay was pretty good. hard to find place, but easy to set up while we were there. This was the first gig we had done since the band almost split up, and there is still an undercurrent there. However, we played pretty well all night, and the crowd were friendly and happy. 5 minutes before our alloted time to finish the guitarist decided that was it for him as he had to get home so we didn't get to do an encore which was a shame, he says he is leaving in the new year so better start looking for another one, not bad going I guess as it is the same lineup since 2016. All in all, not too bad though and at least the country roads are quieter at night

    Maybe the type of gig you do is the problem then?
  9. Woodinblack
    Agreed - I had an HB bass, and it played supurbly but I am sure after a gig I was a few inches shorter and there was a dent in the floor where I was standing!

    On mine I found it easier to leave everything as it was and do any tone shaping I wanted on my pedalboard.

    I enjoyed having mine but too heavy for me to want to carry it everywhere
  12. Woodinblack
    I would say the others were!

    Can't you just use twotone sheeting, like this sort of thing https://www.amazon.co.uk/d-c-fix®-Sticky-Plastic-adhesive-346-0356/dp/B005DKTGOI/?tag=googshopuk-21&hvadid=309889582779&hvpos=&hvrand=494127037676983566

    You don't - posts get locked when they are done (by adding sold / withdrawn / traded in the title) unless there is an error then you report it and ask the mods to sort it
  15. Woodinblack
    Nope, you are right. Bass, treble and centre have a detent in the middle which is the mid way - so one side of the detent is cut and one side of the detent for all of those controls. The other one is the mid frequency, which as you say has no centre position, so this is right. That one being the bottom of the 3rd knob from the neck end.

    I have a pair of ZS10s and a P2, although I don't use the P2, I let the drummer use that (as he isn't moving anyway). I use the XVive, it works for me ok.

    Is this a thread that you had commented on, or one you were following, as I get notifications of anything I commented on, even if I unfollow. I guess it shouldn't be that way

    Take it apart, clean the beer out - its sticky and conductive.

    I guess "affordable" and "budget" are in the ear of the beholder!
  20. Woodinblack
    Well, that is a terribly polite version. More pop goes easy listening. Technially well done I suppose but a bit lifeless compared to either the original or the more well known Nattybruge version!
  21. Woodinblack
    His acoustic bass section was certainly good. Although the 80s was starting to a look a lot like home!
  22. Woodinblack
    Personally I would just get another neck that was already fretted, mainly because it is just a lot less faff than fretting something. Save the neck in case you want to go back at some point.
  23. Woodinblack
    I wouldn't expect a bass I bought to be setup how I wanted when I got it (unless I had asked for that), but I would expect it to be playable.

    Well, this helps a lot to start with: https://github.com/deezer/spleeter

    We did one pub every month for a year and a half (then covid came along). It was handy in that it felt comfortable, it had people that knew us and we could try out new stuff in an familiar environment to see how they worked.
