  1. I saw once Alain Caron "playing" a fretless bass he was invited to try : he simply played a minor scale in A on two octaves, that was enough for him to say that the bass was really good sounding. Some people should learn from this.
  2. F*cking slap. It's so boring to hear the same thing in any shop...
  3. Bought a set of LaBella Gold flats 6 from Sam. Everything was smooth and easy. Deal in confidence.
  4. Isn't that the new Bootsy Collins Fodera signature model?
  5. Ah Monkeypedia, the anticiclopedia ! All the friends I have living in Poland or being Polish pronounce the "w" like“ch"...
  6. It's in fact Sa-doch-ski in right polish way... Ask any Polish around.
  7. Ok, could someone tell me what's the real use of this cover ? Maybe for those living in castles to match the carpet on their stairs...
  8. It's dead cheap indeed. Go on, have a look and tell us more.
  9. It's written inside the can.
  10. And non original pickguard. Otherwise, if you want to make truckload of money, just stinky poo in 90 cans and sell them, like Piero Manzoni did. Ok, he was an artist and it was a deliberate rebellion act, but he earned a lot with this act, so just dare, who knows ?
  11. I've used an ironing stool for a while ("stole" it from my mother a very long time ago), so you are sitted, but almost still standing and in a comfortable position. Quite cheap if you want to buy one.
  12. And a very nice Aries Bajadera on the right. GLWYS.
  13. And this, bad taste at its best :
  14. And what about the cheapo plastic Fender ones where they even write what it's meant for in case you are completely deaf. Ok they are meant for guitarist in first place.
  15. It's because of the smell.
  16. Varvick is the way German people pronounce Warwick. Happy fun, no.
  17. Or even better, not called them.
  18. https://www.ormsbyguitars.com/djent2018.html Quite easy to play power chords, no ?
  19. I think you've got it all wrong even at the biscuit Ritz, it's pronounced just like scone and not scone. Damn, learn to read.
  20. A pickup is supposed to be as accurately as possible transmitting the signal, which side by side humbucking (phase cancelling due to the two picking points) soapbars don't do and certainly not the Wal pickups with their 8 coils per pickup (for 4 strings basses). You might like the sound of it, for sure (as I do), but saying it's the best soapbar is some kind of heresy. Furthermore, the OP is looking for a P/J set in soapbar housing (EMG 35 or Bartolini BC)...
  21. Just for fun, imperial measures are supposed to have been abandoned in 1875 in favour of the metric system ... worldwide. And England was one of the first to adopt it with France where it all started, but some seem really reluctant to use it : you know, old habits...
  22. Traded my quite rare MTD/Bartolini NS3TMB-18 for Michael's Pope Flexcore. Everything went smooth and easy. Great communication and a pleasure to deal with. A+++++++ as they say elsewhere.
  23. With this design, meaning split humbucking coils, you'll get a tone closer to the typical P-Bass sound, but you'll loose the punch of the single coil. And this is what you get. To me, if you accept to mix two "types" of pickups, you can put a Fat Stack in bridge position and a Big Split in neck position, so you'll get hum free P/J on steroids configuration and still the opportunity to have a real single coil sound when splitting the Fat Stack. If you can deal with the single coils hum, then give a try to the Big Blade or the Big Single of course (they are very close soundwise, the Big Blade being asier to fit as you don't have to care about strings spacing). In fact, I always prefer the single coil sound, but sometimes you need to cancel the noise, so humbuckers are mandatory (EMG's are all humbuckers except for some of the HZ series). The Nordstrand are terrific pickups and their single coils are awesome (my prefered pickups when it comes to single coil). There's another possibility, that's the dummy coil system, but apart from Alembic and Leduc, and at a time the Audere dummy self preamp, I know nobody using this and it's sad as you get the best of both worlds : a real single coil sound without the noise as it's a hum cancelling system...
  24. How do you say "thank you" in Swedish ?
