  1. Sold a bridge cover to Des. Smooth coms and prompt payment - all good!
  2. Next Tuesday I’ll be doing a trio gig as The Del Bromham Band at The Tuesday Night Music Club at Coulsdon.
  3. Lotsa bass for not very much money there my friend.
  4. My Rickenbacker case has taken a bit of a knock. Is there any way of repairing this? Not worried about an invisible repair so long as it’s strong. No basses were harmed in this post!
  5. Had a great gig with STRAY at The Stables in Milton Keynes. We put ourselves under a bit of pressure with four numbers we’d hardly ever played or hadn’t played at all. I used my new BF Supertwin (thanks @JGSpector and GK MB500 plus a full in ear mix - the back line was for my other band members! Was the best gig we’ve played there and the second set in particular was smoking’! (IMHO!) A couple of acousticcy numbers gave me the rare chance to air my Epiphone Rumblekat which was nice. All filmed for posterity as well!
  6. Just made a small donation so free bumpy!
  7. Very nice. I played my first gig with a Jack Bass. Sold it on and brought it back again. Converted to passive and about to be converted back to active. Your one looks really classy in that matt finish I gotta say. GLWTS
  8. Right - back up for sale at £400. as much as I love it, I'm just not using it much, preferring passive basses for live stuff. Watch this space for more gear coming imminently!
  9. I've recently bought a lovely American Pro Jazz from hereabouts. I'm really happy with it but I'm struggling to get my head around the pickups and I'm wondering what other peoples thoughts are. For those that don't know, each pickup has 'Alnico 2' poles for two strings and 'Alnico 5' for the other two. I have to say, they really do have a nice equal response across the neck. The output is quite low, even with them adjusted up, so much so that I pretty much have to dime the input on my MXR Compressor. I've found they have lots of top end, so much so that I only have to open the tone control a gnats to get all the bite I need. They're also quite mid prominent although in a nicely rounded way. Additionally, I find that the bridge tone, while usually being quite different to the neck tone actually sounds pretty similar with these. I've done a handful of gigs and a rehearsal with it and I just can't make up my mind whether or not I like them. For context, on my older Jazz, I had SD Quarter Pounders which I really like, so I guess that's what I'm comparing them to. Anyway, in the interests of sub sonic sperimentation, I've ordered a set of Entwistle Pups that arrive tomorrow! What are your experience of these pickups dear bass Fellowes?
