Good, smooth transaction with @Stuart Clayton for my EBS Octabass. Fast payment and good friendly comms. Recommended and thanks for the sale, Cos

Big Horizon (1st and only album) Big Wreck's new album 'The Rest of the Story' - great playing all round on it and nice bass tones e.g.

Gary (Cetera) and I went to a Big Horizon gig last night at the Pizza Express, Holborn, so nice and intimate. For those of you that are not aware of this band, they're the backing band for ELO & Take That and they released their own material about a year ago which is in the vein of The Feeling and Yacht Rock and they're bloody excellent! Nice to see @TrevorR there, too, and the legend, Graham Gouldman. Anyway, Gary and I know busy and in-demand Lee and I think most of us are aware of his bass skills and he had a great sound last night. Whilst an EBS player, he does use Kemper rack units, but last night, he had the smaller, compact Kemper Profiler and it sounded great. I just wondered if anyone here is using one of these and how does it compare to the HX Stomp? Thanks

That's Pwopa Tasty!

Hi Peeps, Unfortunately, I'll not be able to attend on Sunday, but have a good one and it's always a great day. Cheers once again to all involved in the organisation and enjoy yourselves, Cos (Kebabkid)

Just bought an EBS Reidmar 250 head from @towack Great, friendly and timely comms, quick delivery and extremely well-packed. It was a very easy transaction and Tony was a pleasure to deal with. Recommended 100%

Oops. Wrong person

This just came up on Facebook - Yolanda Charles Sandberg Bass Clinic at the Camden Store https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/news/142302/

I've just spoken to my tech and he's had it where the octave was at the 13th fret and he described it just as I have and............................................... strings! He said the core could be damaged or stretched but you wouldn't know that from the outward appearance and that changes the physics of the string. I'll change them and let's see if you lot are the clever sods I believe you are Many thanks for chipping in and I've just found this:- The common term for this is metal fatigue. As string cores age and experience the wear and tear of regular play, they lose their elasticity, and can begin to sound “off.” Harmonics and upper register notes will be out of tune, and overall tuning stability may begin to suffer.

Hard to tell, but I don't think so
