Here's a treat for JM fans. This is the live version of Rainy Night House i mentioned. I have this on CD too Absolutely beautiful bass by Max Bennett. And check the control she has over her voice. Remember this is live, and not a flaw anywhere. Best under headphones ...awesome

Jeeeeez. 2.5mm I could get over excursion on that TF just by blowing on it

A winch would be useful.. Great job on that cab, as it looks awesome

The covers were aftermarket, but they're being replaced with Barts very soon. Next week according to Thomann The switches are a passive/active, and the other is used to either have a blend of both pups equally, when in passive, or bridge pup only when in passive

Some better shots. Fender Hi-mass and J Retro 01, and as i speak, there's some Bart Classic pups on the way from Thomann

Its only someone's opinion, so these rankings are meaningless but we all know that. I have several JM CD's and my own meaningless opinion is that Hejira , Court n Spark, and Hissing of Summer Lawns should be top 3. I have all 3 and if i had to push one into top spot, it would be Court n Spark, but i love all three I will give a shout out to the live " Miles of Aisles " and not least because there's a wonderful live rendition of Rainy Night House. Supposedly written about Leonard Cohen, but its just something i read somewhere many decades ago, so take with a pinch of salt

Ah yes. TNT Back in the 80's when i was a London Motorbike courier, everyone in the trade called them Tomorrow Not Today. Things have probably changed these days though

Agreed

I just did a fake parcel around the same dimensions as a bass and i didnt get any UPS quotes either

Superbly packed J retro Great to deal with - Cheers Dan

Nothing to add that helps but another vid of Charlie and his Tele

I might have to join that, as i have a Pro SB 900 that i'm planning to sell at some point

You really have to try Mombai Tench, then. Thats an eye opener

Better than Roger Waters

Oooof !!

I've had gear from GAK, without a hint of trouble

Personally, i couldnt care less about his sub par bass playing. It aint that bad, but he is a song writing genius and that is an art thats way beyond playing a bass. I wish i had some of that writing talent

I've added some text to the post above while you were replying Dave. Seemed like he was boss and shop manager at the time. Maybe they furloughed some staff? I've had a major issue with BD. Its been documented, but a bass i paid £ 1500 for , went to BD for a commision sale and it disappeared, and i got told a pack of lies. I had to do the same with him, send the same sort of email that i sent HW Audio

Actually, what pizzed me off the most was not the slackness in comms. once the physical damage was done, although that helped, it was more the fact that when they said they would collect to fix the humming, he warned me to pack it properly, or they wont be reponsible for any damage en route back to them. I said i know how to pack properly, i've sent basses and cabs over the UK and Europe, but i cant be reposnsible for very heavy handed couriers dropping it from a great height or running over it in a forklift. He still said i was responsible, no matter how well i packed it. Pizzed off No.1 I packed the thing to be bombproof, they received it and sent it back in flimsy bubble wrap ( the thin kind ) that had maybe two layers all round, then it went in box that was too big , so it could easily flop around as well. I would have stuffed more packing in the gaps. Ironic that it turned up facked and smashed to bu$$ery. Pizzed off No.2

Not quite Dave. As it turns out, i was dealing with the boss all this time, including the original purchase, all through the emails regarding the first leccy problem, and onwards with the 2nd problem, but didnt know it Its only when posting this thread , when someone said email the MD, that i found his name in a companies search, and of course then i found his surname, which i never knew before because he never gave it in communications, just his first name. Still, it ended well after all that. I'll not be doing business with them again, so they get added to the list along with Bass Direct

Quite right BB

Good grief. Shame about gurning

Yup, chicken dinner. Or fish dinner in my case. No chicken

Ooooh, and some of the cash went towards a Markbass AC Lite combo. Much better all round
