Cool, this pic has been invaluable over the years.

Excellent. That's exactly what happens, and, have a twang on everyone else's kit too. It's a tenner (that may have changed, someone will comment if so) that goes to cover the hire of the hall and any surplus, I believe, goes to charity. That is compulsory* *not really

Curse you all to hell! No rush btw, it's been like it for a few weeks but I had a spare mo' so I thought I'd point it out in case it wasn't just me.

Afternoon Sorry to trouble Basschat with this but I am unable to login to Guitarchat. If I use my BC login I get this message... If I then click Contact Us I get... ...and it will not let me type anything in the message field. If I then go to this page... ...and click Forgot your password? and then fill in the next screen and click Recover password I get this... ? 🤔 ?

I'm in.

Here is its fretted twin currently being built by @Jabba_the_gut

My mistake, it's actually 31.5"

It's a f*****g masterpiece. FTFY

This is excellent news, hugely excited. If it's anything like as good as its fretless twin (a f*****g masterpiece) then I am going to be over the moon.

Well first Google hit says... "RWRP” is an abbreviation for “reverse-wound, reverse-polarity” and refers to a technique used to build pickups so that they cancel hum.

Welcome @OllieVT

👆 this, completely and totally 👆

I've had a couple of basses that used to pick up taxi radio chatter but only when the active batteries were running low.

Twelve Babychams please...

Our work here is done, whose round is it?

Give Piano Pavilion a call, I'm sure they can give you advice.

...and why a lot of upright players use AER amps. I used to have the AER Basic Performer, lovely amp but it didn't sound as good as the QSC.

I was on exactly this quest as I wanted my Rob Allen Mouse to sound as much like an upright bass as possible for some songs. I found the best sounding to me was to use a QSC K12.2, even without a preamp, just bass straight in, it sounds great and very upright like.

Just bought a lovely JMJ Mustang from an equally lovely @Brucegill. Excellent, painless transaction, a real pleasure to deal with. So firstly I need to declare him a scholar and a gentleman and secondly award him the entirely un-coveted Frank Blank Seal of Approval... Cheers Bruce.

Having an early bonfire night Stubbs old man? Or do you need new oars for your fleet of coracles?

Can't get it to work on my Macbook, it's ok on my phone, probably me. Edit: as soon as I typed that 👆 I got on... 🙄
