The 13th South East Bass Bash - Sunday 20 October 2019
ChunkyMunky replied to Hamster's topic in Events
How about a 'Valve vs Class D' blind test? I'd be happy to throw my SWR in! -
Playing covers - how accurate do you need to be?
ChunkyMunky replied to Nicko's topic in General Discussion
Would you rather play the wrong rhythm but hit the right pitches? For me, the rhythm is far more key than the pitch, if absolutes were to exist in this. As a little thought experiement, try this; - Find a small theme, a melody, line or something. - Play the wrong pitches deliberately but keep the rhythm as tight as possible. - Play the right pitches but play the rhythm as poorly as possible. - Observe the difference and make your conclusions from there. Don't worry, I ripped off Victor Wooten on this. I tried to find the video but couldn't. If you can't play the lick intricately and rhythmically sound, don't overcomplicate it. It's very similar to when a drummer tries an audacious fill and makes a hash of it, same concept. -
There you go! Just noticed the D is ever so slightly out of tune but just whacked a camera on and went for it. Hope it helps.

Just transcribing it for you. Give me a moment and I'll post a video below.

One I won't miss this time round! Missed the last two right at the last moment and these have always been great. -
I'll take 3! Nice find, OP.

I'm not sure what you're all on about? Mine's just fine

Going from the data below, it's not a bad shout! SOURCE; https://www.easycalculation.com/other/wood-density-chart.php

There's FeelGoodWood on eBay, some other companies online (there's a couple that come to mind) and if you're feeling particularly lazy about fretboards, head to www.guitarmaking.co.uk. Holly as a wood, though? Interesting to say the least.

Ever seen the Angelus Leather Dyes stuff? I've seen BigDGuitars (I know, what a name) use them to incredible success. Here's some videos below for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBbcKAtKhIo etc....

( Not the First) East Anglian Bass Bash (EABB) Saturday 2nd November 2019
ChunkyMunky replied to jonunders's topic in Events
I'd definitely be interested. I couldn't make it for this years South West one so this'll be great. Count me in! -
Beat me to it. The first two I've played in essentially every cover band I've been in. I'll throw in an unpopular one. Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition'. I've always found that the audience can tell if the musician is bored as hell on it, you'll get found out VERY quickly.

Would this also work for other woods? I've got a gorgeous bit of 5A flame maple right behind me and this awesome bit of advice has got me thinking.

Now we're cooking with gas, Merton! 😎

'Really nice' being a slight understatement, huh? 😎

Who here sprays their own guitar builds? What kind of set up do you use? Show it all off! I'm about to dive right into it but I'm a bit lost and unsure where to start. Any advice for a beginner finisher, please?

Hey, it's something different. I personally approve of this!

MIJ Mustangs - was black/black/maple ever produced?
ChunkyMunky replied to Paul S's topic in Bass Guitars
What about a build from someone here, perhaps? -

Hello, everyone! Here's a bit of an interesting post. I've got an Ibanez SR800 (MIJ) with a Bartolini PJ set in them. The whole lot is in rather poor condition and sorely needs some TLC. I never thought I'd be saying this but the pictures make it look quite a bit more attractive than in the flesh. This would make a great project for the right person or even someone who fancies fishing out the Bartolinis and have an MIJ Ibanez leftover after. I struggle to find the time to do anything with it with current commitments going on. So, what does it need? - A new finish since it is either significantly dented/chipped and almost the entire back has a matte texture to it after I wiped off the message written on the back of it with some lacquer killing solution. - The 'G' string saddle is free to float up and down since it is missing a spring. How this happened? I haven't the foggiest. I'm sure a replica or similar spring will rectify this issue. - A set up to the tastes of whoever buys this! I'm based in West Sussex and if you have any questions, please do let me know. PS - I'm open to trades. Luthier tools take priority!
