fleabag

I had a Warwick lwa and it was faulty from new. EQ didnt work although they took it back for repair, sent it back, and it was no different. They got it back and i got money back. Never again

There's no need for a holding photo that doesnt have any connection to the description. Better to not bother and leave blank, than stick a photo in thats not of whats being sold. The guy's a pleb

RP guitars is my mate Bob Pimm. He lives in Cheney Walk off Northcourt Rd. Being an ex trained turner by trade ( we both worked for the same engineering company back in the 90's ) and quite a superb guitarist, he is a fastidious worker. You cant go wrong with him. John East has , in the past, had Bob make some batchwork stuff for Johns company. Also as recommended, try Dave Smart of https://www.smartguitars.co.uk/ He is also a very accurate and fastidious worker. He builds guitars too.

Similar to my '83 Deluxe. Dual Filter circuit, Armstrong pups. No dots on my fretboard though

Well, if ya want to get ahead, then ...

Indeed he was. Shame about his self destructive hobbies We do 2 covers of GSH's songs, namely Lady Day 'n John Coltrane and The Bottle

They keep trickling in... i think its the processing and then i have to shorten them to keep under under the BC file limit. Still, this is the donkey end of Bad Girls bad girls 2.mp4

Looks like another bass player might need surgery

Back off - i have first dibs

It was one of Louises' faves ( the landlady dancing at the front for the first 3 seconds ) and she's a super landlady so how could we not

Another shortie kiss.mp4

Would ya believe an Aria pro 2 SB900 thru a Trace Elliot combo .. @TheGreek will be wetting his pants

How does anyone else know whether you should sell a bass or not ?

Thanks pal. You can see i appear to be missing, but you can just catch a glimpse of my Aria Pro SB900 for about 3 seconds, behind the gitwrist. Thats cos i recently came out of hospital after hip surgery and i was still on crutches, so had to sit on a stool. Ah... what us bass twangers will do for a gig 😎

Finally, it appears someone took a short video but no photos What The Funk ( us ) at NYE Buckingham move on up.mp4

I've always gone for lowest action i can get away with. I dont measure, rather just keep lowering till the i hear the first fret buzz when fretting, and therein is my string height. The occasional fret buzz has been amended by some truss rod action, but if that doesnt work, then the string height is adjustment is done. High action makes me make mistakes, so i never use it, and also i'm not a digger in, so i dont twang the strings, which i suppose ya cant do with a low action. Famously, Percy Jones was quoted as favouring a high action on his fretless basses

Watching Silv....

Just got home from our NYE gig in Buckingham. Boy .. great crowd , which makes a change. Dont know if anyone snapped us ...just gotta wait and see

I can try this next rehearsal

Good answers folks As stated, i use the passive input and just boost the gain on the Trace to find the clip point and then back it off so its not lighting up. If i used the active input, i simply have to up the gain to achieve the same clip point and then back it off, so i see no advantage to using the active input

This is about both amps and bass, so stuffed it in GD Both my gigging basses are passive, and at rehearsals, where i use our guitarist's business warehouse, he has a Trace combo which i plug into, to save dragging my rig there. The Trace has active / passive inputs, and naturally, i used the passive one. He asked why i used passive and i said because i have a passive bass, but his argument was because i go through a Zoom B3 first, the Trace no longer sees a passive signal as the zoom changes the impedance. I wasnt sure what he was talking about, being a bit technically deficient in that area, so is he right ..should i be using the active input ? By the way, he's a clever electronics engineer, and builds upto 48 channel mixing desks for businesses here and Europe. He purchased all ex SSL stock after they closed down ( he was an engineer there ) and builds the desks from scratch.

I agree. Comma

I've bought from Wunjo and they knocked £300 off a bass i was interested in, and then threw in a hard case that wasnt originally included. They were great to deal with.
