It's all I do too. Straight into the amp and I usually bypass the EQ, too. Me and the bass will make it interesting without the fluff. I once played with a band who exclaimed surprise, the first time I jammed with them, that I didn't have a load of pedals with me. I never knew they had become such a thing in bass world.

To her credit, she has put a lot of the complaints in this thread into perspective. "Yeah, Dave might be a bit too loud and is a little out of tune, but at least he's not taking a leak on the bride's mother."

I thought he got the live stream instead?

The crack won't affect the tone. If you want, take the cover off and put some black tape on the inside to hold it together, or buy a new one. For the tone, I would try lowering the pickup away from the strings. MM types are usually quite powerful and it's possible the magnetic pull of the pole pieces is affecting the vibration of the string. Lower the pickup down and see if it makes a difference.

They're adding a new song to the set. It goes something like ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with I just want to get on stage and drink....

He first fitted a Bigass bridge during the recording of Fat Bottomed Girls. There's the door, I'm going, I'm going!

I get that asking price and selling price are different things, but there has been a fairly steep increase in asking prices over the last year, maybe two. Even if the stuff doesn't sell, it does filter out to other sites and people checking the percieved going rate before posting ads of their own.

It's not an extended version of Let It Be, they've stressed that quite forcefully. There was a narrative pushed on Let It Be but the full footage revealed a different story to Jackson, which is what he wants to tell with the new effort.

Ah crap. I'd love to support but I'm just not engaged with the social media shite. If he gets money from ads on the podcast, happy days.

Cos I already feel I'm going to be listening to every back episode 🙂

I don't have a youtube account. When I said podcast subscription, I meant it. Does he get any kind of royalties through ads on the podcast?

You have had a good year.

Thanks for that. I have just subscribed to the podcast.

It seems like there are quite a few of us on the site who play drums but I can't find a thread which just covers drum... ehhh.... chat. Who out there is also a drummer? What are you playing?

or have asking prices gone absolutely f**cking mental? I've been doing a bit of browsing recently on Reverb and Ebay, as well as some local sites over here in Ireland, and everything is at least 50% over where it should be, I would say. I'm all for profit and such, free economy and all that, but some of these asking prices just beggar belief. Old Squiers ad Mexican Fenders hovering around the 1k mark. I feel like I have been in a coma and missed something important.

I will keep you in mind if an affordable, white 2024x ever crosses my path 👍

I live in a place where you'd get battered by import duties and VAT. I actually took it personally that no-one wanted this bass so it has been transferred back to the "keep it and f**k the non-believers" pile. I dream of a white 2024x but, in the meantime, the 1100S is a good placeholder 😃

It's almost pelham blue, no? You could spray brussels sprouts pelham blue and they'd be desirable. Spray a foxy bass like this that colour and... wow. Very, very nice.

They're a fantastic bass. Desirable? I have no idea what that is anymore now that I live in a world where Squiers and Mexican Fenders regularly graze 1k asking prices. I had my 85 MIJ 1100S up for sale and didn't get an offer above €350. It's a crazy, crazy world. They're a proper, proper bass. Fashionable? No idea. Pro quality bass? 100%.

Billy calls his battered old Precision his "wife"

The oul DVDs never let me down 😁

My missus is not too familiar with the Beatles minutiae, being Italian and raised on opera etc, so we have been watching the Anthology series in preparation for the release of this. I am now ridiculously excited about this being released 🙂

If you've got a Japanese 70's Jazz in Lake Placid Blue with matching headstock, blocks and binding and it doesn't work out... you are the problem.

Brentford Bees?

My old 924 had an additional hole, on top of those drilled in the factory. Rather than try to hide it, they always look terrible, I installed a series/parallel switch which added a useful tonal option.
