Total Watts

  1. Where does the tone come from? It comes from proper power amps. Don't be fooled into thinking it comes from anywhere else. This is a proper power amp.
  2. I have always done some side to side vibrato on some longer notes in a phrase. I never realised that I did it until I went fanned fret. Side to side on the most angled frets with roundwounds was not for me.
  3. Of course, my problem is that I now have a neck looking for a body. I am trying to get my head around neck pocket proportions. I am fully aware that it is probably obvious to everyone else already. Writing stuff down enables me to "finesse" my thought processes. And you are all my friends so it is OK. I had thought of getting an unrouted 4 string P body blank and opening the neck pocket slightly more than usual, but that would need a bit of an overhang for the G side of the neck to get things centered. So is this a matter of getting the instructions for some CNC action and going in from scratch?
  4. I have two of these. How did that happen? Anyway, this is structurally sound but needs the clasps replacing. I have the clasps, somewhere, and will find them if someone wants this. You will have to fit them yourself. This is why it is dirt cheap.
  5. This is set up well, it plays well. It does all you would want this kind of thing to do. But I do not need it. Is it minty? Nothing ever is. But it is in darned good nick and ready to ....... do whatever you would do with such an axe. For frankly not a lot of money.
  6. But not the big ones. A pair of minty EM15 wooden boxes. Have your desktop look like a gig with proper grown-up speakers (you will need a hi-fi amp, obv)
  7. I have a bunch of books I have been saving for the right occasion. I was going to split the books, mount the prints in frames and hang them on the wall. Anyway, back to reality. All + whatever the postage will be. I will trust you to top up that payment once I have actually posted them California Cool - a paperback coffee table kind of thing (PCTKOT) which catalogues a bunch of hip LP covers from the 50s. Full sized £12 The Cover Art of Blue Note Records - PCTKOT which catalogues a bunch of hip LP covers from the 50s. Smaller £8 The Complete Electric Bass Player by Chuck Rainey £10 The Sound I Saw - photo book of some stonking pictures in black & white (SSPIB&W) of jazz vibes from the olden days (FTOD) £20 The Jazz Bass Book by John Goldsby. With CD - cos everyone wants a CD £12 Guitar Player Repair Guide - Dan Erlewine £8 The Real Book Vol 2 in our favourite clef. Bass. £17 Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass. £30 Bass Line - The stories and photographs of Milt Hinton - I heartily recommend this to anyone with even a passing interest in jazz. It is his story, told by him and documented in pictures by him. It really does not get any closer than this. PCTKOT - SSPIB&W - FTOD £25 Over Time - The Jazz photographs of Milt Hinton. He was there, he had a camera. As close as it gets - kind of a 2nd volume from the one above. . PCTKOT - SSPIB&W - FTOD £11 The Jazz Theory Book - Mark Levine. I was going to read this and achieve Jazz World DOMINATION. You can guess the rest - £25
  8. "The Sensitivity knob is basically a more/better control". Beautifully put.
  9. Italia Straps strap. Nice. Nice bass, obv.
  10. EVERYONE needs a collapsing trolley. I have a Ruxxac one which I bought a solid 20 years ago. I would not be without it.
  11. Black Protec Contego 3.8 Kg / 8.3lb Grey Protec Contego 3.1 Kg / 6.83lb
  12. They appear on one of the FB relic guitar groups.
