  1. Too bad @Happy Jack doesn't make the flying double bass trick anymore. 🤪
  2. Joe Morello as well as Dave Brubeck are both left foot counters. One of my all time favourite masterpiece and that moving time drum solo has always amazed me. Thanks so much @Dad3353 !
  3. Here is the manual for the complete range of the GP12(X) Series 6 iterations and also some of the GP7. There was a preamp available at the time named GP12X. Trace Elliot GP12 Series 6 Manual.pdf
  4. There's also this one @michele, but I don't where you are in Italy. https://www.mercatinomusicale.com/mm/a_trace-elliot-gp12_id7319863.html?stkn=bD3728N2y8n7bS58# It's not a preamp as it has send/return jacks. Worth asking a photo of the back to know which model it really is...
  5. Your back.
  6. Excellent basses, I had 3 sixers. GLWYS, Mustapha.
  7. @sandy_r : Is your bass a Kubicki Ex Factor?
  8. After receiving my long ordered and awaited Leduc U-Basse 6 fretless for my birthday last month, I'm GAS free, having owned and played more than 400 basses and a lot of amps. I'm now in the process of selling what I don't need, you know those useless bargains, not for gasing again, but because I don't want anything else and just like for my Hi-Fi system, after a very long quest, everything is settled, to my taste. I really love my actual lightweight basses and lightweight combos as I get exactly the tone I hear in my head and can move them and play them without breaking my bad back. So yes, I'm GAS free.
  9. The open string intonation is the scale and is as mentioned 34 inches, so a very standard one. 😉
  10. Adam O'Farrill sounds like a huge fan of Paolo Fresu. 😉
  11. I guess you mean the far end of the bridge where the ball is anchoring?
  12. @sandy_r: What's your bass? I've used White Nylon's on headless and headed basses without any issue at all. My Leduc Masterpiece MP 628 SF (34 inches scale) is fitted with regular long scale White Nylon's since a year or two as they really last very long. Check these photos made recently, no signs of wear and tear:
  13. Try the LaBella White Nylon's, they are lighter in tension than any other nylon taped strings and sound terrific on fretless basses with very good mids for that mwah we are almost all after. In fact, these are totally alive strings compared to the other more dull sounding nylon taped strings, because inside are roundwound stainless strings.
  14. You won't make a penny as they already exist: check GR Bass AeroTech Carbon Fiber series or the Natural Fiber series, you'll be amazed by the weight and power. I own and play a GR Bass AeroTech Full Carbon Combo 800 (Watts at 4 Ohms) coupled, when needed) to a GR Bass AeroTech Full Carbon Cabinet 112+ (450 Watts at 8 Ohms): plenty of power and total weight of both is ... 14.5 kilos (do the maths to convert it in ancient money).
  15. 1982 or 1985?
  16. And Tony Grey too, but my favourite is, of course, Anthony Jackson: simply amazing groove.
  17. I was 20 years old in 1985, so for sure Yello Stella on one side and Uzeb Between the Lines on the other side. And another cassette with Joe Jackson Big World on one side and The Pogues Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash on the other and singing (more certainly yelling) like a mad man in the car when Dirty Old Town was playing.
  18. Thanks @tauzero, I'm so tired explaining this phenomenon again and again and again. Just make a real shielding with everything star grounded, so you'll stop acting as an antenna and suddenly everything will become dead quiet.
  19. Fodera to sell their instruments at the right price which is a third of what they are asking.
  20. Interesting, so they are taking brains out to coat strings! It's Gore-Tex, not Cortex. 🤦🏻‍♂️ So it's the quite same material enabling humidity to get out but not in that you find in clothes or shoes...
  21. Why don't you simply ask the seller, Alberto? Zimmerly Silly Bass .....Fretless extended range custom bass https://reverb.com/item/27101
  22. So you didn't read.
  23. Do you sometimes read what others write?
