    Will swap for synths or eurorack modules. As long as it can go in a suitcase. Hit me up. otherwise into storage it goes and that’s a shame. Just no room. I am also a classically trained violinist so am preferring to sell and save up towards an NS design WAV Violin or viola for hacking motion sensors and midi and so on.

    Yes. It’s a professional job, not nitrocellulose.

    I’m moving to the San Francisco Bay Area and I have too many basses and gear to transport. ‘This is a nice copy of a 51 precision bass. I built it myself from parts all over the Internet. Bolt on neck. No-name pickups but my god they sound terrific, with the right ancillaries it can sound like a real grinding warhorse and the only reason I am selling it is because it’s expensive to ship to the USA. this was used in its entirety on my first EP and you can hear it at its gnarliest here. https://clairefoxx.bandcamp.com/track/rise-up-2 I now have a relic MJT '51 P bass which is as good but this is in new condition and not been gigged. it has a good action, chunky frets and a maple fingerboard, it has sculpted body meaning it’s not a heavy plank like the original 51 shape and design. it weighs just a shade under 4.15kg. it is through body strung and has a sustain to die for. I hate to let it go but I’m moving and I have to cut back on basses, amps, cabs and pretty much everything to make moving possible. Can be shipped in a styrene mailer.

    And now the final stages, promotion promotion promotion promotion “Four hard-hitting gender politics pop punk bangers – essential listening” - Loudwomen.com ...and promotion (the download cards do well, usually 10 or so a gig depending on size which is not bad for a solo support slot, which is where I am really happiest anyway) well this is an awfully big adventure, the next two songs for release are about to begin recording.

    So about last Thursday night’s gigs at @diyspace4london I took the bass out for a ride... many photos by the amazing theatrical photographer: Rah Petherbridge. This one shows off the punk bassist in her element. Angry and monochrome.

      I like this one so much I might use it more often.

    Final step, got home Friday night to find 6 boxes of vinyl under my desk. Boxed 90 to go this Monday next post. It’s been a slog becoming a punk balladeer with a bass-that-thinks-it’s-also-a-guitar but I got there in the end, thanks to the audience at the gig (download cards and preorders) it broke even and has given me the confidence to make another one in the coming year — certainly no shortage of material now and in the next 5 years of misrule.

    My Trans-themed MJT-aged Bass arrived. Assembly begins: Allparts neck’s bolted on w/threaded inserts, Seymour Duncan pups are my go-to for most builds. If all goes well I’ll be playing it for the 1st time on the 12th @diyspace4london,

      I would have to sand down that sharp edge to stop it digging in my arm when I played. But I play finger style, if you use a pick you should be ok ;)

      The trans-bass lives and breathes. Wired it up & setup is good, I reckon I can dial in a little closer to the neck over time. It’s a little bright sounding on account of having an insufficient value tone capacitor but that can be sorted easily. It’s so agricultural the pick ups are adjusted for height using a wedge of foam & two screws.

    All download codes stickered and sent off for adding to the Vinyl art shrink wrap. So, to use up the rest of the download codes, an experiment is to print up 100 to sell at gigs, like the vinyl inserts, these same download code stickers go on a nice 8” piece of glossy card for that “something to look at/something to take home and stick it on the fridge or in the record collection” totem. These can also be added to press packs and as giveaways. Vistaprint had a 50% off voucher so these cost me about 68p each to produce. which is about what Bandcamp/PayPal takes from every online sale of a £4 EP. PS sorry if this is old hat to some of you, I’m really new to this and sharing the process.

    My iMac is probably bit big and fragile for the stage (I thought mainstage was an iOS app by now), I have an iPad though I don’t mind using. Drum tracks are now stereo files but so far no one has replied to my band member searches for guitar and drums, so I’ve gone it alone with the EP and gotten gigs from it, I may have to be one of those solo people, which is lonely... this whole process is lonely... I have friends, but I don’t have any friends that play instruments... I left the band I was in because it was slowing me down and not working out. I found an app called stage traxx for iPad, that might work well.

    in Song, ok will check that. I use Logic X on a Mac and wondering if Mainstage has anything... I don’t like the idea of using different drums/rhythm track to the record. I can do the guitar/bass and vocals myself to a drum backing track playing... I’ve been practicing it and that’s ok, I just forget lyrics from time to time... the drum track i was hoping to lift from my EP and just play along to it, with an onscreen lyric or prompter track (”Middle 8 coming up’ etc) just in case I have a brain fart. Which I do have.
