  1. The left of the two ‘knob blocks’, ahem, looks like it will match the top and back of the bass. How do you remove the cavity cover when it’s held on magnetically, if indeed that’s what you intend for this bass?
  2. I have only ever attended festivals working as a tech and even then I was away from them as soon as possible.
  3. Phew, it’s actually a relief to see someone else using a capo on bass.
  4. You can’t hurry good work.
  5. Oh lord that’s a real beauty...
  6. @Reggaebass posting some old school reggae got me listening to... Which also made me want to listen to some bang up to date school! Laika Come Home by Gorillaz vs Spacemonkeyz, best (very recent) reggae I’ve heard.
  7. God this brings back so many memories.
  8. The ‘Poly’ bit of the TC Polytune is erratic and inaccurate at best, so get a Unitune which is cheaper and just as good in single string mode. I swear by them.
  9. Dude, I sure wasn't criticising that wallpaper, it's simply epic.
  10. I’m sure I would but I’m an idiot for buying things on reputation without trying them out first so I’m definitely trying one first.
  11. No I bloody didn’t, nor did I try @bassace‘s at last year’s South East Bass Bash, I failed twice.
  12. I’m yet to try amp modelling. I play acoustic basses that were purchased purely on their un-amplified tone and when I do amplify them I don’t use and effects apart from a touch of compression. I’m havering at the moment between purchasing a Helix Stomp or a Grace Designs Alix. I get the feeling that I wouldn’t use 95% of the Helix’s functionality but I’m sure I’d have fun playing about with it whereas the Alix appears to be the best type of preamp for my basses and band but it’s expensive for what is essentially my bass EQ. I think I’d like to try amp models though, who knows it might be a whole new world!
  13. I agree totally, this thread has been a real eye opener for me and has changed my entire outlook on bass amplification. Finally I’ve got the pure tone from my basses that I’ve been looking for for decades!
  14. I’m still holding out for two band names featuring new town graffiti from my home town. One was a car park sign with the word ‘slagbonce’ sprayed across hence... Slagbonce Car Park ...and the other just two words sprayed on the wall of an underpass... President Youslags ...one day I’ll be in one of those bands.
  15. It does. I use this method a lot.
  16. Petrichor, Kemper & Helix, my new firm of solicitors, there.
  17. One of my favorite words in the English language and you have it as a band name, excellent!
  18. Just rewatching this series again, second time around it’s even better.
  19. During my meaningless wanderings around the parish I find myself looking more and more at random pieces of wood or broken down wooden things and wondering if I can sequestrate said timber on @Jabba_the_gut‘s behalf. I wish I knew more about wood/timber in order to be more discerning and actually purloin some lumber rather than gaze thoughtfully at it. I have been discussing a stealth fretless build with @Jabba_the_gut but the more I look at this thread the more I think I’d just like a matching fretless!
