  1. How much would One of those cost?
  2. What is a heffalump pedal ?
  3. It’s an advent calendar with 24 tiny basses inside ?
  4. We are talking about a move to Hereford /Gloucestershire/ Somerset so may be at a future one have to persuade employer to let me WFH forever though my dear partner was good enough to clear the diary for midlands bash this year so it does set something of a precedent
  5. I still totally want one
  6. There is no such pedal …
  7. Always read the thread … first ….
  8. @MikanHannille there’s a queue, mister
  9. I wish I lived near bath now - I’d borrow that in a heartbeat any chance of a bass relay to leics? anyone from southwest bass bash coming back this way ?
  10. Thought: the one in the hard case, I’d wrap a light blanket around it or the bass itself to soften changes in temp (the gig bag’s padding will do same) and add silica gel packets to both
  11. I like the bit in u2 live from the rose bowl where Bonio name-checks Selma, Mississippi and it’s bridge … a place that no one has ever heard of. He’s a twonk but I admire the audacity
  12. New one on me …
  13. Yes, I practised and practised “wicked game”- Chris isaak on bass and on the night my mate let me down. He’d totally forgotten and had gone off to plaster a ceiling gutted
  14. Yes - stripe over the top to join cavities - do this on jazz basses too The other reason for bridge wire tape is you might tug on it when moving the pick guard You don’t need to poke holes with a paper clip - just smooth the tape out with your finger and you’ll see the holes
  15. You know that shot with the earth wire under the bridge ? Put a stripe of copper tape over the end of the copper wire to hold it in place and then screw the bridge down tight. also use a stripe of tape to join the pickup cavity and control cavity in case the pick guard ever worked loose
  16. Henry Thomas also taught in the bbc tv program “rock school”
  17. Yes - you need two sockets to electrocute one average sized guitarist … so you could do five at a time
  18. You’ll just do it perfectly … we know the drill 😛
  19. @DawnPatroller Personally I don’t think it makes a huge difference unless there is some underlying potential for fault anyway. I’ve left several guitars in a loft for years at a time and not one has suffered in the slightest silica gel packets is a good idea I’d use if I had to do it again, as is standing them upright but for myself I’d happily just bin bag them as I did before
  20. Just a weak joke about what you said here “They are built to be at tension” and your username …
  21. I think he’s saying it doesn’t matter in his opinion for the reason given - they are at an @EssentialTension
  22. This is basschat good advice is what we do.
  23. Why ? How hard is he hitting those strings ? What kind of PoS guitar don’t hold tune for four minutes of playing
  24. If it was made for you in Vietnam why does it say “Southampton England”? nice thing though 👍
  25. I have it actually https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultimate-Beginner-Series-Blues-Bass-Basics-Beck-Roscoe-Good-Condition-Book-/133775010841?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 irs very playalong in a good way and I notice something new each time I watch - the other musicians are good too Greg - where can I get the pdf for your bluegrass vid ? The chord chart in particular
